What are the signs and symptoms of a retinal haemorrhage?  Does it

I've recently been diagnosed with ITP, where the body thinks it's
clever to kill off its own platelets and the danger of retinal

Finally, yesterday I took my daughter to the pediatric ophtalmologic
clinic. Very nice doctor, she took at least 30 minutes to explain
everything to me and my wife. I even did the tests myself to understand
completely.

This question is for Otis Brown. My son's myopia prescription is -1.0
on the left and -1.5 on the right. If I want to try plus lenses on him

Do even well made wrap-around sunglasses create distortion due to the
curvature?  I got some quality (expensive) sunglasses recently, and it
feels almost like they are inducing prism.  It takes me a while to
adapt to them after being inside on the computer all day.  But it seems

I had vitrectomy (OS) in May 2003. CME developed a few months after the
