Could I Have A Tumor? What’s Wrong With Me? Please Help.?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I am 13, I am of average weight, fairly slender. I exercise [my dad taught me how to exercise properly so, it's not that] I am tall too 5′10.
My vision is terrible 20/-4.75 [I think, it changes about every month or two; contact wearer]- no astigmatism
*Have experienced sensations where everything goes dark [eyes open and their don't seem to be any correlation with what I am doing/time of day/where I am, and these occurring]
*I tend to be a klutz, I have great balance and an avid martial artist, but for some reason I will trip or fall for no reason.
*I experience mild to severe pain in my joints, back, shoulders, neck, and pretty much everywhere. This pain is almost constant and the pain arises with no trauma occurring.
*I get headaches quite often and have extreme light sensitivity [even fluorescent light bulbs hurt my eyes, they begin to then water.]
Sun, computer/TV/cell phone screens also cause watering of my eyes [sometimes my nose too]
So,
*pain all over my body<primarily joints, neck, and back<Long, Long time.
*rapid vision change; not for the better about every month a new prescription is required<as long as I can recall
*being a klutz although I have a strong core<as long as I can recall
*blacking out for no apparent reason<as long as I can remember
*breathing normally then suddenly having extra air to exhale<fairly recent
*light sensitivity<This started within the past couple tears
I am under a lot of stress, primarily because of my parents fighting. When they fight I do feel weak in my knees and sometimes they collapse because of this.
I don't drink, or do drugs, and I eat healthy.
I ya'll have any ideas of what is going on, there are some other things, but these are the main problems. Any help is appreciated; Thank-you
[No, I can't just talk to my doctor, my parents won't listen and they think nothing is wrong]
I also have trouble getting my eyes to focus.
No, I am not sexually active [idk if that matters, but it might]
Can I Order These Contacts With My Prescription?
February 24, 2010 by admin
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
My regular contacts prescription:
(LEFT) BC 8.5 SPH -1.50 CYL -0.75 AX 170
(RIGHT) BC 8.5 SPH -0.50 CYL -1.25 AX 180
The colored contacts that I’m ordering:
Power (OD) -1.50 Power (OS) -0.50 CYL ???
The problem is that you can only put one CYL value, but I have two different CYLs.
The reason I want to order from this site is that there are not many options available online for toric colored contacts, and I don’t have to order like 3 pairs all at once (like when you’re ordering from eye doctor)
If I HAVE to, I WOULD order 2 pairs just so I have 2 for each eye, but that would cost double the money.. and i haven’t even tried it out yet.
So.. if for example I just put -0.75 for both eyes will it really blur the vision? Only thing I know is that CYL is for astigmatism.. well i don’t even know what that is lol..
Please do not say go to the eye doctor.. I’ve been to several doctors and glasses/contacts places and i dont think i want to pay like $400 all at once for like 3 pairs..

Approximately…how Much Would Lasik Eye Surgery Cost For Me?
February 24, 2010 by admin
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I am seventeen and have terrible vision with a very rare astigmatism. I live in northern Texas so I’m not positive what the price would be.
The cost of my contacts and glasses are really a hassle because my astigmatism is so rare. My contacts actually run around $300.00 every three months!
So if anyone could inform me AT ALL. I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks (:

Two Contacts On Each Eye?
February 23, 2010 by admin
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
well the thing is since i am asian i wanna have prettier eyes, right.
so i got this pair of contacts that have black rings around them that make your eyes look bigger. but i didn’t want to wear glasses on top of those so i tried wearing my regular contacts first and putting the circled ones on top of them.
i’ve been doing this for almost two months? and so far my eyes dont hurt or anything. but sometimes the vision blurs a bit and it takes some time for the blur to go away and more often it never goes away. well i clean each one very carefully every night.. and yes they do wear out but it’s only my regular contacts that wear out and i change them every two weeks anyway so that doesn’t matter. well my point is is this going to seriously affect my eyes? is it gonna blind me or something close to blind?
i was looking for prescribed ones that have the effects i’m looking for but since i have astigmatism and my visions for each eye differ a lot it’s very hard/expensive to get them.
should i keep doing this……
I’m About To Get Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses, And I’m Wondering If It’s Okay To Play Tennis With Them?
February 23, 2010 by admin
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I just had my eye exam almost exactly a week ago, and my optometrist recommended me rgp contact lenses for crisper vision, as I have bad astigmatism. I know the diameter of rgp contact is smaller than a soft contact, thus, will it be easier to… fall out of my eye in a sense?
I’m going to be playing tennis with them, and I can’t afford to lose a contact lens by it coming out of my eye.
Also, how long does it take generally to custom make rgp contact lenses? I have yet to get a call from my optometrist.
Can I Still Get Contacts?
February 23, 2010 by admin
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I have astigmatism. My glasses have a big prism in them and I have to have a surgery to correct my astigmatism and then another surgery like lasik to get rid of all the problems. I am 17 and can’t do those surgeries for another few years because my eyes are still changing. I’m going to be in my school play and the teacher says that we can’t have glasses for performances. I have no contacts and if I take off my glasses, not only do I see blur, but I also see everything in double. What should I do? I really want to be in this show! Any way I can get contacts to at least not see double? Or to see less blur?
