I went to an eye exam and ordered new temporary glasses.  They are
temporary because I will have a cataract removal and IOL implant in my
right eye in a couple of months.  You may recall that my right eye has
had eventful 6 months -- first a macular hole surgery, followed by a

How much of a concern are preservatives, with daily, long term use of
lubricant eye drops?  Someone must be concerned, since they seem to be
selling a lot of the "single serving" dispensers now.  The cost and
inconvenience factor is kind of high though.  What's the whole story?

I would like to know if it´s true that being in an ambience where
light comming from tungsten bulb/fluorescent lamp and daylight is
combined, in other words- is it a good idea to switch on the lights
when the room illuminance is just a LITTLE (not much) reduced. If not,

scratches on her new lenses that are around the middle of the lenses. Most of
the scratche are small but near her field of vision. How bad do the glasses
have to get in order to need new lenses? If I got new ...

Hi, everyone!  Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm a 31-year-old software developer who has been interested in vision
enhancement surgery for many years now.  I'm apparently not a good

I worked on my PC too much on last Friday (12+ hours). My eyes felt kinda
sore, so I stopped looking at my LCD monitor. Since then, I haven't been
able to work on my PC without getting eye fatigue. Reading & driving do NOT
