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

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:37:33 +0000

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 *rapid vision change; not for the better about every month a new prescription is required *being a klutz although I have a strong core *blacking out for no apparent reason *breathing normally then suddenly having extra air to exhale *light sensitivity 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?

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:44:32 +0000

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?

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:45:28 +0000

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?

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:35:18 +0000

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?!?

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:36:05 +0000

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?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 04:42:14 +0000

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?

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:44:01 +0000

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.?

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:07:52 +0000

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.
