| BIOMEDICS 55 lens question | 29 Apr 2006 06:51 GMT | 2 |
I had worn a biomedics 55 lens at -5.75 strength. Since it was too weak, I went to the optometrist who offered Ia -6.00 which was still slightly weak. She said the Biomedics 55 then goes to -6.50 (skipping -6.25). This is a 'spheric' lens and it's good, but I find it almost a

| Artificial Iris/Pupil Contact Lens | 29 Apr 2006 04:04 GMT | 9 |
My mother has a damaged iris that is full (beyond full compared to the other eye) open at all times. (It is also somewhat off round since her cataract surgery.) This seems to be causing her extreme "glare" problems which she finds very disturbing. Prior to the cataract surgery ...

I am currently dealing with a situation that a few people might have had experience with themselves. If so, I would love some feedback as I am up the proverbial river with this one. About a year ago, I was diagnosed with blepharitis in both eyes.

| New addition to the family | 27 Apr 2006 17:23 GMT | 6 |
Ladies and Gentlemen ... it's a pinguecula ... right? Just gazing in awe at my wife's brown eyes yesterday, when ol' wildly-hyperopic Neil spotted something. Pulled out Ye Olde 8x Agfa Lupe and noted this thing ... at about 9 o'clock on her right eye.

| New to contact lenses | 27 Apr 2006 13:55 GMT | 4 |
After wearing glasses for over 20 years I have decided to go the contact lens route. Overall I was able to adapt to my contact lenses within a few minutes and I was able to wear them for about 6 hours before my eyes felt a bit worn out.

According to a doctor I saw today, pain in a blind eye is common. It's the first I ever heard of it. Anyone here ever heard this? Is there an explanation, is it like phantompain in amputated limbs? SF
