Hi friends,
For quite some time now, I have been wondering whether the rumor is for real,
do carrots actually enhance night vision (and normal vision), or is this a
myth?

For a coastal dweller with advanced wet amd,
how much danger would a week at +1600m
(~1 mile) pose?  Zermatt, Switzerland, and
Albuquerque, New Mexico, are approx. 1600m.

for the past 10 months, my 3 year old child has been wearing
eyeglasses every day to correct short sight.  We discovered today that
the corrective lens has been applied to the wrong eye.  In addition,
we have been patching his weak eye each day instead of his stronger

I wonder if someone can please clarify the procedure for cleansing the
eyelids in order to manage blepharitis (assuming hot compresses and
massaging eyelids has already been done).
The instructions on the box of LidCare (Novartis) seem to be saying

I was scheduled for a cataract surgery nest week.  I sent in the
signed consent form a few days ago, with some added notes.  The doc
called me today and "fired" me, cancelling my scheduled surgery
because I "don't trust him".

Please, criticize the Bates Method.

I have been wearing Silicone Hydrogel contact lenses for the past 12 months.
It has only recently occrued to me that this material is new in contact
lenses (3 years old??).
I wonder, is it really safe? I remember lots of negative press about

I started having vision problems in one eye about 7 years ago. I noticed
that when reading, the letters in a word weren't all the same size,
straight lines were wavy, and grids looked really bizarre. The problem
was only in one eye but it made it pretty unpleasant to read and do ...

Not a very clear subject line, I know.
I am in my 40's and I guess I have a pretty normal vision change.  Have
not worn glasses until now, and the O.D. did say that I am fine to pass
the drivers test without glasses, so using them is entirely up to me.  I

All,
Every few years my distance vision gets a bit worse, and I usually get
a new set of glasses with stronger Rx.  I am 24, and thus far there is
no sign that my vision is going to stabilize.  Im a bit worried that

I had my second baby seven weeks ago, and noticed my vision has
worsened since the delivery.  I had something similar with the first
baby, and it got better after a while, but this time it's worse than
the first time.  I was wondering how soon I can expect my vision to be

No new news on multifocal contacts? (See my earlier post inquiring about
N&Ds.) Is LarryDoc still here?

My optician says that the eyes of shortsighted people "can drift outwards
when not with glasses", is that true? We were talking about how much I wear
contacts, which is 90% of the time, the other 10% I don't think I'm so blind
I can't go without indoors. He said how do I find that ...

I had Cataract Surgery two days ago.  Everything went well and I can see
very well out of the operated eye.
One problem I have noted is that the pupil remains extremely closed, and
I have very little vision in low light.  (Is there a better term than

This may be a bit off topic but maybe somebody here can help me. My
older dog was recently diagnosed with acute glaucoma in one eye. He
has probably lost his vision in that eye and it will maybe be removed.
However I do hope we can save his vision in the other eye, but my
