Re: ask me about eyes
[ QUOTE ]
How rare is it for someone to have 20/10 vision? [/ QUOTE ] I don't know the exact numbers bc I typically do not test patients to see if they can see 20/10 but I would guess it would be rare (<5%)

Re: ask me about eyes
I am 53 and just today started having some blurring of things at a distance. I have had to use reading glasses for about 5 yrs but long distance vision has been very good until today. I was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes about 6 months ago.
My question is should do you think this blurring today is more likely to be part of aging or from the diabetes? Also, would you recommend i see a lasik doctor first or an eye doctor first (or are they the same)? Thanks in advance

Re: ask me about eyes
I am young, and sometimes (around 3-4 times a year) my right eye goes through a 2 or 3 week stage where it twitches and is constantly uncomfortable...why is this?

Re: ask me about eyes
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] ....kinda like a dentist or chiropractor. [/ QUOTE ] I love how you group dentists and chiropractors together like this, makes me smile. Anyway. I haven't had an eye exam since forever, but I've noticed the sight in my right eye is diminishing ever so slowly (like, if I close one eye at a time while driving I can see stuff farther out with my left eye than with my right one). Would this be normal age related stuff that will just have to be remedied eventually by getting glasses, or is there risk for worsening my eye sight if I don't get proactive about it? Swede [/ QUOTE ] that would be impossible to answer based on what you have told me. It could be you need glasses, or it could be an eye disease.

Re: ask me about eyes
I have severe astigmatism in my left eye, along with nearsitedness. It's so bad that eyeglasses don't correct my vision. I basically see out of my right eye, and have terrible depth perception.
Are there any treatment possiblities? My opthamologist said lense replacement surgery. Could lasix or a similar surgery fix or improve my vision?
