i've had contacts for the last eight years.
they are now scratchy/sore/irritated ... no matter what lens solution I

I had cataract surgery 12 days ago in my right eye (my left eye doesn't have
useable central vision due to subretinal bleeding long time ago). I wanted

I have developed a sight problem within the last 5 years, where part of
my peripheral visual field has gone in both eyes. The scotoma (I think
