thanks for the report cory

this kind of suggests, to me, that perhaps myopia may sometimes be a result of the eye "over-minusing" itself, to compensate for lack of clarity due to higher...

That type of comment is insulting to those who are medically unable to undergo surgical procedures such as these. Cost is not always the issue.

Those of us who are limited to spectacles, would...

well yes a great deal of imperfections are compensated due to mental focus, saccadic movements, etc.

but there are still going to be residual issues which I guess the adaptive optics might...

david, i have the same experience, pretty much. i don't think insanity is the cause, but rather the result.

mirage2k2 is a consumer. I guess consumers could try to answer each others' questions though. :D

I'm not sure how asking for opinions on say, lens brand, is akin to price shopping. As to for auto shopping, much different scenario, autos comprise a much wider market and are one-size-fits-all. ...

all this talk about offering advice to consumers and how there should be a fee. Well, what about advice for other professionals? Last I checked, consultants and professional seminars carry even...

"Consumers are the problem?" Hardly. I am a consumer but I have a strong interest in better understanding the art and science of opticianry. I have actually contributed to the knowledge of the...

that reminds me of something I read, but did not have a cited source....a claim that in parts of congested Tokyo, oxygen levels are as low as 7 percent. That seemed a bit misquoted, perhaps.

i lost the link, but i read something that suggested that altitude is more of an issue for RK patients than Lasik. Probably due to the fact that RK incisions create much greater instability.

supposedly this is due to lack of oxygen, but I don't get it. Why would refractive surgery increase the need for oxygen?

I suspect perhaps it is actually due to a compromise of the integrity of...

It is still not working for me-- when I click directly on the start link, It tells me "rtsp is not a registered protocol." What I did was to right-click, copy the link location, and paste it...

They have gotten more comfortable after a week of wear. Although I still notice discomfort-- I always feel relieved to take them out.

I finally got my RGP's today (Menicon Z), although I was hesistant because they do not seem comfortable, it feels like razor blades scraping my cornea. The doctor claims the fit is perfect, but they...

The office is going to charge a $50 restocking fee if I decide I am not happy with the lenses. That's why I hesitated. If that were to continue through several pairs, that could be ridiculous. Is...

How has your experience turned out?

I was currently fitted for RGP lenses at Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit. They are experienced and work primarily with difficult patients with low vision,...

I believe I may have a possible answer to my problems viewing LCD screens, in light of my recent dry eye diagnosis. See this thread: http://www.optiboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10543

I just want to follow up by mentioning my recent experience at Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit under the care of Dr Sworst.

I was not impressed by her knowledge. For example, she has an incorrect...

"The lens may also not completely eliminate the need for glasses because it does not correct astigmatism."

I think I'll pass on this one.

Well, the point is that I suffer, like many who spend long hours at a computer, from CVS. I can see the monitor, but experimenting with a pair of cheap reading glasses, I have noticed that I feel...

I spend long periods of time intensely concentrating on the computer and other reading and close-work tasks. Verdict is out, but so far I hate glasses, not just for cosmetic reasons, but for...
