I'm trying to translate an ROP diagnosis for a baby in Serbia, and am
struggling with one particular word, in quotes below - maybe the
context can give you a clue as to what it might be in English:
Right eye: H 35.1 ROP Stage 4A with transvitreal "organizat"

This topic may have been covered before, but I can't find a thread that
matches my case.
I have worn contacts for about 9 years, for which my neither my
prescription nor my contact lens size have changed.  I began with

Last time I postet in this group was about 3 years ago.
My problem is that I have high myopia (about 10 diopters and 0.75
astigmatism on both eyes). Thus I prefer to wear contact lenses instead
of glasses. About 6 years ago (at age 24) I lost my contact lens

Where can I find a comparison table that shows relative oxygen transmission
levels for various contact lenses? Either by brand or material. A website or
web page would be great.
It seems that more transmission is better, but how important is it?

It's now 8 weeks since I had lasik for hyperopia.
I realised that I would need reading glasses but was unsure about
middle distance vision.
I have regressed since the op and am at 2 diopters for reading and 1

Hey, sorry it's been awhile. The tale of my eye and how Dr. G-----
routed it out during what was supposed to be a routine cataract
surgery, leaving me with a semi-useless blob of jelly in its place, is
familiar to all of you (see archives). But I've been referred to two

I don't know very much about glasses other than what I have read
online. I just got my new lenses and I am not sure if the problem I am
having is me or the glasses. With my old frames, I never had this
issue. I am near sighted and can now see objects further away really

I was diagnosed with a detached retina three weeks after an optometrist
said my eyes were fine. I had an operation in Feb 2006  (a buckle was
attached and a gas bubble was inserted). The surgery was not successful
and I have blurred vision. I have subsequently been told by a surgeon

I understand that polarization reduces glare by filtering out light on one
axis.  Well, I purchased a pair of polarized "clip-ons" and they seem to be
filtering on the wrong axis.  Specifically, when I put them on they do not
reduce glare at all, but if I just hold the lens in ...

I've been using Proclear Biocompatibles for a couple of years, -2.00/-2.00
recently, my prescription was bumped up to -2.25/-2.25 and I have been
trying out Coopervision Frequency 55s... they seem OK, and I have noticed a
significant increase in contrast with these

I will subject myself to the ridicule of the group and ask my
question...
I did some spray painting today with my RGP lenses in.  I dind't notice
anything until I took the lenses out about 5 hours later.  They are

No Agreement in Sight
Children's Vision Tests Need Improving, Say Experts. But They Don't See
Eye to Eye on How.

Wavefront LASIK and surface retreatments are a hoax. Once you rip up a
flap or remove the epithelium, the wavefront map is no longer
applicable to that eye. No wonder so many patients are made worse by
wavefront retreatments.

DrG (or anyone besides Ace):
I went to my new eye doc today for my annual checkup, and to get a
second opinion on my RGP fit.  I mentioned Macrolens, and he said he
had fit them quite a bit a few years ago, but nobody could really wear

I've been nearsighted since I was about 11 years old. Now at age 54 I
am having cataracts removed from both eyes. The doc says it's common
for people who have been nearsighted all their lives to want an implant
that leaves them a little nearsighted - they still need glasses to
