| 2.5 eyephorics or swissflex | 28 Nov 2006 20:09 GMT | 5 |
Why has nobody mentioned 2.5 eyephorics or swissflex frames on this ng? I think they are the most incredible frames -- the lightness (e.g., 2.5 grams for eyephorics) is amazing and they are so comfortable. I just got a pair of swissflex and I love them. I paid

| Lasik Plus Risks | 27 Nov 2006 20:54 GMT | 2 |
I know you guys get posts like this all the time, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going for a consultation at Lasik Plus in Baltimore. I know that technology has changed in the past few years, so I'm trying to find out

| White, stringy eye discharge... | 27 Nov 2006 15:22 GMT | 2 |
Quick Rundown: I am 24 years old and have been wearing soft contact lenses for 10 years. I am a -11.5 in my left eye and a -9.0 in my right. I wear toric lenses. 3-4 weeks ago, my toddler son contracted viral conjunctivitis which he gave to me. The immediate symptoms of

| Morning vision | 27 Nov 2006 02:15 GMT | 5 |
I've been noticing more lately that it takes my eyes a while after I wake up to start focusing correctly - near vision without my glasses is particularly bad. After 30-45 minutes the vision normalizes and stays that way for the rest of the day. Is this just another one of the ...

| Question about contact lens prescription | 26 Nov 2006 09:46 GMT | 2 |
I recently got my first pair of contacts. My doctor told me that in terms of contact lens strength, he took my glasses prescription and just lowered it a little bit. He said that since the contacts are closer to the eyes, they don't have to be as strong.

Hey everyone, About two weeks ago, some guy kicked me in the head while I was on the ground. I was in the hospital that night, and was diagnosed with a minimally displaced tripod fracture. I met with a plastic surgeon a

| Price of Physio360 | 26 Nov 2006 07:11 GMT | 5 |
I've been to 3 places and have been quoted $399, $399, and $450 for Physio360 (plastic) lenses. With the frame I've looking at $500 ++..... Is this really what these lenses are selling for?

| SLT Becomes First-Line Treatment for Glaucoma | 26 Nov 2006 01:06 GMT | 19 |
In addition to the information about Avastin/Lucentis, I have also posted information about the use of the Selecta laser to treat glaucoma using "Selective Laser Trabuculoplasty" or SLT. It appears that the use of SLT is becoming a first-line treatment for glaucoma, in place of

| Press-On optics, ala OPTX, but *minus*... | 26 Nov 2006 00:30 GMT | 5 |
There are a lot of people who prefer sunglasses in the $15 range instead of $100+ -- but their eyes are a tad weak and suffer with non-Rx sunglasses. MINUS-power adhesive correction would be great for us!

| Outcomes / Comments on single-eye cataract surgery | 25 Nov 2006 20:14 GMT | 3 |
A close friend of mine needs cataract surgery, but apparently is only a candidate to have the lens replaced in one eye (at least for now).
>From what we hear, having surgery on only one side can make adjustment difficult, particularly since she is extremely nearsighted.

| no depth perception?? | 23 Nov 2006 22:46 GMT | 36 |
A colleague tells me that he has no depth perception. He is in his sixties and apparently this has been the case his entire life. He has always been nearsighted, but not drastically so, and wears glasses to correct this anyway.

Just wondering if there any daily disposable contact lenses made from Silicone Hydrogel or if anyone knows that any company is working on introducing one. Thanks.

| Do I want non-reflection coating? | 23 Nov 2006 14:51 GMT | 12 |
I hated the glasses I bought 18 months ago. They were impossible to clean and are now are badly scatched. The sales clerk said the problem was the antireflection coating; it holds onto oils and scratches easily. She recommended I go without it on my new

I had a question about a vision insurance claim problem. Here's the story - I found this doctor (Doctor A) listed under my in-netowrk provider, under my vision insurance plan. Made an appointment for an eye

| Getting New Progressives... | 22 Nov 2006 15:04 GMT | 9 |
Against my better judgement, I plan on buying progressive eyeglasses at LensCrafters.... They are the only place in the area that has a descent selection of frames, and I have to buy frames from them in order to get their promotion of 50% off lenses.
