I'm getting my first set of contacts next week, and I was wondering if
there were any opinions regarding the following solutions:
Opti-Free Express
ReNu MultiPlus

I took my mother to the opthamologist yesterday.  She has MD but I
didn't think it was too bad.  She reads all the time, drives a car,
etc.  Anyway, it appears her vision is worse than I realized.  I asked
if she should be driving and the doctor, who didn't know she drove,

When I woke up this morning I had some mild light flashes in my right
eye which I could detect since it was still dark.  Then I become
conscious of a rather huge floater in that eye.  It was a long thread -
never had anything like it before.  I had the urge to brush it away as

Last time I was choosing glasses my optician said something about having
to go for a full rim. Do rimless or semi-rimless glasses look a bit
wrong with a strong prescription for myopia? Lenses too thick perhaps,
or the minifcation looks weird without a rim?  I'm specifically ...

Has anyone else used Glasses direct in the UK I've just got a few pair
from them and they seem fine.
They were pretty cheap as well.

There were recent news stories about a possible problem for cancer
patients taking Avastin systemically. Dr. Phlip Rosenfeld, the first
ophthalmologist to use this drug "off label" to treat age-related
macular degeneration, addressed this question in today's issue of

specifics:  I'm 52 years old,  had mild dry macular degeneration in
both eyes. Mild cataract in right eye, more severe cataract in left
eye. I had cataract surgery in left eye in Dec 2004. Went to
opthomologist yesterday and he reported that the ARMD has gotten worse

I've been told that my prescription of -3 and -2.25 is really only the same
as someone with -2.25 and -2.25 because the brain will just ignore the -3 and
image and use the -2.25. Is this really true?

My new RX is stronger than my old, but I can't see as well and I have
more distortion than with my old RX.  My eyes start to burn and sting
after wearing the new glasses for a short while.  I noticed there was
quite a bit of difference in the cylinder and axis measurements between

I experienced the floaters and flashes about three weeks ago.  I saw
one opthamologist who found nothing re: retinal tear or detachment.  He
used a set of mirrors and bright lights to see into the eye.
The eye with the pvd seems to have a slight haze as though my glasses

I'm fine watching TV but cannot read subtitles on movies -
through TV or through DVD.
It was suggested that I purchase a pair of magnifying TV
eyeglasses.  Has anyone tried them and do they help or do

I am 40 and I'm a little farsighted and have had glasses for reading
since I was about 25.  I have had more eyestrain than usual lately when
doing close things, so visited the optometrist, who told me that my
prescription is mostly the same, except she took out the astigmatism

This is the first lens prescription I've been given that is written this way.
I just want to understand what the numbers 65/62 mean, they are written on
the top line of the script where 20/20 vision would normally be written (if a
person had vision that good).  The full prescription ...

Why do some opticians refuse to make
reading/computer glasses based on a
"zero to infinity" prescription?  What is
the difficulty in going from
