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]

Any Opticians Who Could Advice Me On This Situation?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

It seems that people who need glasses are caught between a rock and hard place. People like myself who need glasses but never wear them are told that this is bad for the eyes, that the eyesight would only worsen. YET, if we start wearing glasses, the space between the eyeball and the glasses lens can actually be bad for the eyes. (I don’t know how else to explain it, except that contact lenses are the best as there is almost no space between the eyeball and the lens) Again, what about people who cannot wear contact lenses due to having sensitive eyes. What is the true story here? I want to sort the nonsense from the fact before getting new glasses. (The old ones give me headaches and thus are of the wrong prescription.) For the record, I have astigmatism.

Could I Wear Colored Contacts?

January 25, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

I have a really bad astigmatism. I wear both regular contacts and glasses, I can see where I’m going just fine when I’m not wearing them. I just can’t read. So I was wondering if I could wear non-prescription color contacts and just wear my glasses if I have to read. Also would a darkish green show up on lightish blue eyes?

What Would You Think/do? Could The Eye Doctor Be Wrong?

This might get long, so stick with me! What do you think about this?
I have been nearsighted for about five years now and have always seen the same eye doctor, who I love! Last time I went in for my appointment, she was out, so I had to see the other dr. who works there. This doctor was kind of rude towards me, nothing in particular, just her overall snipped manner. She said it was surprising that my eyes had not got a lot worse like most kids my age (16) who come to the doctor because their eyes change rapidly. Then she told me mine were a little worse and I had astigmatism now too. So she gave me my new prescription and I took it to a store and got my glasses. I think the nearsightedness is like -2 or -4, I’m not sure which and I don’t know about the astigmatism. I know my eyes aren’t too awfully bad overall though.
Anyway, the new glasses were so weird! I hated getting used to them. I would see wavy lines or blurriness a lot and my eyes would be sore and I’d get head-achy. The lense on my left was sticking out the tope of the frame a little bit too. I could still see fine through my old glasses and wanted to go back to that prescription, but my parents thought I just needed to get used to the new one. They do believe me now, because I complained about them for many months, not just a week or so ’till I adjusted.
It’s been over a year now and my eyes still hurt and waviness bothers me once in the while. I kind of think I don’t really have astigmatism, but why would the doctor have told me that I do, if I don’t? My old glasses aren’t quite right either anymore, but I think that’s because I’m mostly used to my new ones now. Unless wearing the new glasses messed up my vision more or actually gave me astigmatism. Could this happen?
What do you think? Is there anything I can do to get rid of the astigmatism or know for sure that I have it? I do know I’m due for another eye appointment sometime soon, and I’m certainly not seeing anyone but my trusted eye doctor from now on!
