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

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]

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.

I Got The Wrong Prescription!?

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 04:35:38 +0000

Okay so my old prescription was -4.25 (right eye) and -3.75 (left eye). And I went to the optometrist on Monday and she gave me a new prescription of -4.00 (right eye) and -3.50 (left eye)!
I got contacts and she said that they don’t go any higher than -4.00 so that’s why she gave me that one, but my old contacts were -4.25! Why did she do this? I mean I took the eye exam and she said I should be able to see with that prescription. I really think I should be a -4.50 (right) and -4.00 (left). She did tell me I was a -4.50 but she stated that they can’t go any higher than -4.
I can’t see I’m like -.50 off on both of my eyes. Is she right about the whole contact lenses not being higher than -4? Or should I just see another dr.
>>>She prescribed the same brand bausch and lomb clear vision 30 day and night. They’re 8.3 (same as before). And I don’t have astigmatism. The prescription was for contacts.

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!

I Ordered Contacts With The Wrong Sph Number, Can I Still Use Them ?

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:57:54 +0000

I have an astigmatism and i accidentally ordered the wrong SPH. My correct prescription is 8.4/14.4 0 -2.75 x165. I ordered 8.4/14.4 +1.00 -2.75 x165. Can i still wear these? They are Proclear Toric XR and cost $80/box. I really don’t want to open them if they aren’t going to work right. Thanks for the help!
