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..

Can Someone With Astigmatism Wear Clearly Colors (comfort Fit) Conact Lenses?

February 23, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

I have astigmatism, and a really, really high prescription. I can’t see well far away, and my prescription is a little above negative five on each eye.
I have wanted color contacts for a while now, but usually they are really expensive. I found clearly colors (comfort fit) contact lenses online for a pretty low price, but I cant find any for astigmatism. Do I have to get a special kind for astigmatism, or are these okay? If there is a special kind I have to get for astigmatism, I want them to be Clearly Colors colored contacts, and in some variation of the color gold, honey, or amber.
I have brown eyes, if that helps.
Thank you soo much:)

My Vision With My Contacts Gets Blurry After An Hour Or So, Why?

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

After my vision gets blurry with the contacts and I take them out and use my glasses, my vision is fine. I have astigmatism with nearsightedness being more of a problem than farsightedness. I’ve tried several soft toric lenses and still continue to have problems up close. I tried hard lenses years ago and just couldn’t used to them, I have small eyes. I’ve read about SynergEyes and wonder if they may be the solution for me and if I should be concerned about oxygen to my eyes and the actual size of the lens. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d appreciate it.

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!

Will Contacts Work With My Eyes?

February 14, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

My perscription for glasses is 20/100 in the left and 20/90 in the right. In my left eye, I have focal points farther apart than usual and an astigmatism. Three years ago, my vision was better than normal. I wasn’t farsighted, but i could see things better than anyone else. I need to know if my perscription is changing too fast.

Glasses Are Giving Me Headache/making Me Feel Weird. Is It Because I’ve Stuck With Contacts For Years?

February 13, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

For 4 years now, I’ve worn contacts for 16 hours a day. I literally wouldn’t wear glasses. Now that I’m working I can’t afford to be staring at a computer all day with contacts. I got a new pair of glasses but they are making my eyes feel weird and I don’t feel like I can see as sharply (long distance) as with the contacts. Doctor said I had 20/15 with the contacts.
Not sure if they feel weird because:
- I haven’t worn glasses in a long time
-The lenses adjust for astigmatism, but the contacts do not. So my brain/eyes are having trouble adjusting now.
-The prescription isn’t quite right.
Any help is much appreciated.

What’s Wrong With My Eyes, Or What’s Wrong With Me And Contacts.?

February 12, 2010 by admin  
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism

I currently am using acuvue advance for astigmatism. My eyes get so dry, I am also trying other trail lenses to see if there’s anything different that may not make my eyes so dry. Today, I noticed little tiny dots all over the lens. Is this making my eyes irritated and dry, or are my dry eyes causing the (what look like) deposits.
