I’m Having Serious Eye Problems. Just Went To The Eye Doctor!?

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:37:36 +0000

I’m 17 years old, I just went to the eye doctor a few weeks ago, and they found minor astigmatism in my left eye, and gave me really minor prescription glasses. everything was fine after that.
two nights ago, I had a serious panic attack from stress–I was dizzy for hours and needed to be in a dark room for the rest of the night. when i woke up yesterday, everything was blurry. It even seems like the glasses make long distance vision WORSE! I have no problem reading up close, but seeing anything from about 10 feet or further is almost impossible!
I don’t understand how this could have happened overnight, and the panic attack may be completely irrelavent, but it’s all so weird. I haven’t worn the glasses since yesterday. I was hoping that when I woke up today it would be gone but it wasn’t!
I should also mention that I am diabetic, because that can affect vision over time but my blood sugars are good, and nothing like that should happen overnight like it did! help please!

Eye Focusing Problems And Dark Vision?

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 10:43:19 +0000

for a while now, ive been getting dark vision and dizzy when i stand, as if i blinked slowly. lately, maybe within the past week, ive also been having trouble focusing my eyes with no pattern as to when this shows up, neither brightness nor distance of where im looking. im wondering if this could be related? im 15, have astigmatism (i wear both contacts and glasses), and lately have also been feeling tired and stressed. what could be some possible causes of this? i believe my mother has meniere’s disease, could i be showing signs of this at an early age?

Eye Problems??

Im 17. I have astigmatism so my eyes are pretty bad! lol. Lately i have been seeing wierd things though. I’m not sure how to describe this,so please bare with me! Ok,you know when you close your eyes? And you see all of those different colors swirling around. And if you leave them closed long enough they get more clear,and then when you open your eyes it all you see for a minute until they adjust? Well i see that ALL THE TIME. I can’t even go to the movies,because in the dark all i see are all those darn swirly colors. And in the pitch dark,when i close my eyes and open them it stays the same. The colors are always the same whether my eyes are opened or closed. Is this a symptom of an eye problem,or am i just trippin? lol. info is appreciated!

Can You Have Astigmatism Without Having Vision Problems (nearsightedness / Farsightedness)?

admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:35:20 +0000

I have really bad astigmatism, and it’s worsened 70% in one year. I’m also farsighted. The doctor fitted me with SO many different pairs of contacts for astigmatism, and they were all painful and didn’t fit properly. (He said it was because my eyes were different?) Right now, I wear Acuvue soft contacts, so I’m wondering if I can get glasses to go over the contacts (just to wear in school, not all the time)? Personally, I don’t think my astigmatism is horrible, because I can still see (with Acuvue contacts), but the doctor thinks I should do something about it.

Contact Lens Problems!!?

admin — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:17:15 +0000

I have got astigmatism and i recently got a trial pair from USA. And yes it was prescribed. Now when i tried it on, everything was blurry especially things that were far away. And it was moving while blinking. Do toric lens have to be fitted by the doctor the first time? I heard toric lens have special markings. Is there anything else that can be done coz i cant go back all the way to usa for that.

Contact Lens Prescription Problems?

admin — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:01:15 +0000

I was fitted for contact lenses for the first time on Dec. 15. My Rx for glasses is: Left eye, -4.75; Right eye, -4.50. The contacts were -4.50 for both eyes. At my followup appt., I told the doc that I had difficulty reading (esp. on the computer), and that my right eye was where the difficulty was coming from. So he bumped that eye up to -4.75. I’m still having difficulty with reading, so I’m going to try to get an appt. again. My left eye is perfect with the contact, and I want the same for both eyes, obviously. Is this a normal occurance when being fitted for contacts for the first time? I feel like if I go back and try a new Rx, the doc will take them away and tell me to go back to glasses. Has anybody else had these kind of problems? By the way, he said my eyes were healthy with the lenses and I evidentally do not have astigmatism, because no eye dr. I’ve gone to in my life said anything about it.
