I'm wondering about asking my Dr to refer me to the hospital to get my
squint corrected..   Are there any problems that can arise from such surgrey
being done ?
Also, I have quite a high astigmatism..

I have tried quite a few contact lenses for astigmatism. B&L Softlens

Toric, CooperVision Frequency 55, and some no name that has serial
number 924552508400 and BL121(3).

I was to the doctor, because the half of my other eye is totally red, and it
feels like there is some "trash" or "piece" or whatever in my eye. It
bothers me all the time. I´ve had it for 3 days now. The problem is the
eyedoctor did not find anything unusual in the eye. She ...

I have been wearing hard contacts (RGP) for the last 16 years, 14-16 hours a
day, weekends included.
Since I have too much trouble with dry eyes, dust, the daily cleaning, ... I
decided to go (partly) back to eyeglasses. I bought some nice frames with

For about 4 weeks now i have had this strange sensation in my left eye.
It started when i was tiling and managed to get a little piece of tile
in my eye. It came out fine but felt a bit sore as you would expect. It

Is there a site with photos of, or program that simulates, the effect of
correcting particular levels of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism when using

My son, aged 11, has only recently (in the last 2 weeks) been diagnosed
with Amblyopia. He has excellent (6/4.5) vision in his left eye but is

I have Acuvue Advanced lenses and was wondering how long I can keep
them in a case for.  I know that they should be worn for only 14 days

period.  For instance if I only wore them on weekends could I still use

How big is it if you look at things from, let's say, a 5 yard distance?

I have had glasses because of nearsightedness for about 9 years, not
too bad, but driving and seeing a blackboard were too straining.  So
this year I decide to start jogging, and I find out quickly that
glasses are a pain.  I have used a nerd-strap to keep my glasses firm,

I would really appreciate any help or advice here.  I am 24 and have
worn glasses since the age of 17 and a half for near-sightedness. My
right eye has always been much worse than my left - I could not even
read the top of an eye chart with my left eye closed. At the end of

First, my question is,  Is it wise to wear "prescription" contacts
when you have recurrent erosion?
Now the history.  About 16 years ago I injured one of my eyes and got
