I cant stop thinking what perfect or supervision looks like! Can any of you blessed with exceptional vision describe what your world looks to you? I can imagine but I want an accurate idea :)

| Should I accpt this vision? | 23 Dec 2005 16:25 GMT | 8 |
1-1/2 weeks ago I had a Tecnis IOL implanted in my right eye, due to a very mature cataract. (Only 50, but had been hyperopic, had Staar ICL implanted, ended up with cataracts both eyes). The left eye was converted to IOL a couple years ago, and is under

| frames should be canted down? | 23 Dec 2005 10:57 GMT | 2 |
Why are prescription frames so rarely canted down at all? Your normal gaze tends to be somewhat downward. Your skull geometry blocks upward angles and accomodates downward ones. Even when looking ahead, you are scanning downward such as to avoid tripping over things.

| bifocal line distortion | 22 Dec 2005 20:40 GMT | 2 |
I just got a new pair of polycarbonate flat top 35 bifocals and find that there is some blur around the segment line that is very distracting and cuts into the field of vision. I've also noticed some "rainbow" effects from the line in certain light. My old bifocal

| Presbyopia : does 1's minimum distance needed vary with season ? | 22 Dec 2005 13:45 GMT | 8 |
Here in m'sia, in 7-05 to 11-05, I needed 2' distance to focus an image onto my retina, but now in 12-05 rainy season ( coldest time of year ) I need just 1½'. I guess the colder tap water I use to clean my eyes or bathe caused this reduction.

| for R. Martellaro, or anyone; question about exec bifocials | 21 Dec 2005 23:19 GMT | 6 |
I've used a lot of exec bifocals and trifocals over the years and am curious about one thing. Why is it that the seg lines are not as perfect as they used to be? I mean I remember them calling exec glass bifocals "no jump" because

| Contacts feeling dry | 20 Dec 2005 20:03 GMT | 8 |
I am finding my daily disposable contacts very drying. I had some two weekly disposables in the year and they seemed more comfortable, although the dailies seem to give me better near vision - the others felt as though they slipped a bit.

| Can't tolerate rigid lenses | 19 Dec 2005 21:32 GMT | 9 |
I've had RGP lenses for 4 years but have never been able to wear them more than half a day. I've been to four different optomentrists and have five different pairs. None are better or worse than the others for wearablility. The doctor says it's a poor tear break up time.
