Hi. . .the continuing saga of the cataract is not hopeful today. Told
everyone at work it was a "bad eye day." Have been waking up with a
ferocious headache only on the side of the implant, blurred vision and
tearing continue. Just want to rewind time back ten years or so.

take me.
1. Please educate dad on the difference between an optometrist and an

Anybody have any experience with these contact lenses.  Are they
effective in offering relief to contact lense wearers with dry eye? Any

I am wondering how I should take the peripheral vision test.

public place for that matter, my eyes become 'very dry' and 'red'.
I've seen the doctors, tried every possible thing and can't think of
