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]

Need Help For Toric Contact Lenses..please…anyone..?

February 22, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

My glasses prescription is R: -4.00/-1.00×160
L: -5.00/-1.00×20
The optometrist suggested me wearing toric contact lenses with
R: -3.75/-0.75×160
L: -4.75/-0.75×20
since -1.00cyl is not in the contact lens range.
.She said my sph needed to be reduced 0.25 because contact lens is much closer to the eye. But,since the cyl for both eyes are reduced 0.25 too,based on my experience,the sph for both eyes should be increased to cover the astigmatism.
Even in the previous non-toric contact lens prescription, the optometrist added just another 0.25 to my sph to cover the -1.00 cyl.
But,it didn’t turn out well.
so,this time,I’m not sure with her prescription. I think it should be R: -4.00/-0.75×160
L: -5.00/-0.75×20
what do you think?…help please…I’m gonna where the lenses for 1 year,so I need to make sure.

Help! I Made A Very Silly Mistake With My Contacts! Scared?!?

February 18, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

Okay, today i opened my contacts. I opened a Right box, but distracted by company i was in a rush and opened the OTHER right sitting in the box, instead of my left. My left and right are different powers.
Left: 3.50
Right: 3.75
BUT because my left eye has astigmatism, my optometrist pushed up the powers of my lens to:
Left: 3.75
Right: 4.00
She pushed up the powers because the astigmatism in my left eye isn’t bad so could get away with wearing normal coloured contacts (sorry i should have stated that. it’s hard to find coloured contacts that come with astigmastism).
So i went about my business wearing 4.00 in my left and 4.00 in my right. I couldn’t feel the difference but i don’t think it’ll be good in the long run… unless someone professional tells me it’s fine?!
What should i do?
If i open a left and throw away the other right i’ll be left with a useless left contact. If i continue with this for a month and the next month, open a PROPER pair, i’ll be left with 2 useless lefts. But i might be able to get 2 rights of 4.00. If i can?
Please help me! I don’t want these contacts to go to waste!

Help! I Just Got Contacts, But Things Are Still Blurry?

February 9, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

I just got contacts about a week ago and my vision is clearer than without them, but sometimes I feel like things are uneven or my vision goes blurry when I blink. I have astigmatism in my right eye, but I thought wearing contacts (toric kinds for the right) would keep this from happening? Do I need a stronger prescription or something?

Help Problem With Eye Stretching Exercises!?

February 5, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

I recently started doing these eye exercises because I heard it reduces myopia and astigmatism. What I do is I stretch my eyes all the way to the left and hold, right and hold, etc. Well when I do that sometimes I see a tiny spark of light or even several appear and dissappear really quickly. Should I discontinue doing this? Does this mean something is getting pulled or something?

Help! I Can’t Get My Contact Lense Out Of My Eye!?

January 31, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

I just got a trial pair of contacts on Friday. I have two very different prescriptions, my left eye is way worse then my right but my right has an astigmatism. So in the process of getting used to my contacts I will get these killer headache because the right swivles so much I can’t focus. So tonight I have had them in the 8 hours I was supposed to and go to take them out. The right eye, with the thicker lens pops right out no problem, but I have now been trying for an hour to get the thinner left eye out. I have tried flushing it, lifting my lid, scrunching it in the corner, rolling my eyes around, and of course the normal way my doc told me to. My eye hurts horribly and I just want it out. I am so frustrated I was able to cry for about 20 minutes and that STILL didn’t do it. I don’t know what to do and my doctor’s office isn’t open again until tomorrow.
