I used to wear the 1-Day Acuvue lenses.  But by afternoon/evening my
eyes would always feel dry.  So then they came out with the 1-Day
Acuvue Moist lenses, which is supposed to keep your eyes wet all day.
But I haven't really noticed a difference.

i'm coming up to having cataract surgery in the not so distant future,
and so am reading a lot here. It's something I'll have to do eventually,
but it is a scary thing.
other than that, I don't have anything to say.

Wondering !!!!!! I have very poor vision with contacts great vision. I
wear my glasses and contacts 50/50. My old pair of glasses are just
regular and latley  I need to double up on the glasses to read a
book.  I have no problem with the computer, I think it's because the

Two days ago I went to the optometrist to get new contact lenses. I
have not worn contacts in a while but I left off with the Acuvue
Oasys, which were very bothersome. I don't think they were fitted to
my eye properly.

I am 63 and i am petrified for my future.I have had strabismus in my
left eye that goes out since i was 3. I have had 3 eye surgeries on
the left eye at 6, 16 and 21. Now the eye is back out. I have glaucoma
(using drops),dry macular degeneration and cataracts in both eyes. I

otis has missed the point. i am 63, not a child. i don't want further
surgeries or any other attempt to make the left eye better, as i feel
with the limited vision in the left eye patches, etc would not work. i
am looking to find out what with the strabismus, and the also failing

Glasses and optics have always intrigued me (should have been an
optometrist) so I'm hoping to get some insight on my prescriptions.

I recently ordered glasses. The precription is
OD   +4.50   -0.50   x078
OS   +4.00   -0.75   x099
Add  +2.25

I wonder if someone could help me understand something about glasses.
I am 62, myopic, and don't think I have any accommodation to speak of.
My prescription is about -2,-2.25, averaging in the astigmatism.
When I got my eyes checked, I mentioned that I wanted a special pair

My dad was asking me about his reading glasses.  His glasses, which
were prescribed about 10 years ago for reading still work great.  He
has no problems reading whatsoever.
His glasses are somewhat big though, or so it seems.  The dimension of

The other week I noticed my eye glasses had dried hard water stains on
them.  This seems to have accumulated over time. My lenses are glass
lenses (not plastic).  I thought that the lens cleaning solution you
get at the optical stores would do the job - that did  not help.  Also

I went for an eye exam 3 days ago, and my doc had me try Oasys lenses.
I used to wear AV2, but after 6 hours, they'd become very

from the OD's around here...

I am going to see an ophthalmologist tomorrow. I have some retinal
problems for which I do not expect further treatment to be useful. I am
using brimonidine and Travatan. I have had lens implants in each eye
because of cataracts. Two other problems are:
