| How much safer are contact lenses and orthoK than lasik or laser surgury? | 06 Jan 2006 05:13 GMT | 17 |
Some people(wont be giving names) have stated the risks of contact lenses. They are correct but I argue that the risks are tiny compared to the risks of lasik. Both options will reduce your dependancy on glasses but contacts, including orthoK will achieve the goal safely,

| Cataract fragnent and elevated IOP | 05 Jan 2006 05:49 GMT | 2 |
Hi, and thanks to all for bearing with me. I finally got up the nerve to schedule a post-cataract vitrectomy to have the large particle of lens removed. I have also asked to change primary opthalmologists because the first one failed to see or diagnose the fragment. I am

More of the eye saga. . .It's been ten weeks tomorrow since my botched cataract surgery. I consulted a retinal specialist and was told about the piece of my old lens left in the vitreous humor. If you look closely, the fragment is clearly visible through the paralyzed pupil.

| PureVision CL sleep-ins have to come out at night | 03 Jan 2006 22:57 GMT | 11 |
My wife's recently had a cataract op and went from -7 to 0. Hoever, the other eye remains at -7. So a partial rx (-3.50) contact lens allows some residual myopia to read, etc. The optometrist prescribed B+L PureVision Toric: 14mm, BC 8.7, SPH -3.50, CYL -1.75, AX 170.
