I think it is the same principle as when you take your car into the shop and suddenly nothing was wrong with it.  \n\n:)

I have the same problem, I just found out I need glasses for it, but also for distance and stigmatism.  Nice combo, basically I need bifocals at the age of 25. :(  But the doc did say the computer is bad for the eyes, so every 20 minutes, you should look 20 feet away and look at that place for 20 seconds. 20/20/20.  It is supposed to help your eyes refresh.  Sleeping a full night helps too, don't forget to blink, use drops if needed.  The problem with computer screens is that each tiny pixel in the screen is moving on its own, almost flickering.  We can't see it because the flicker and pixels are so so small, but the eye needs to use more energy to focus on that screen, thus damaging your eye sight.  Get glasses, computer glasses, they are supposed to help, I am waiting to buy mine because I don't have eye insurance in 2006, but will sign up for it in 2007.

I have worked with Opthalmologists and I can give you the low down.\n  As a general rule we all will get cataracts at one point in our lives,it's a normal aging process where the lens in our eyes gets dense making it harder for us to focus.\n  Most Dr's know that though it is a slim chance that infection will occur,they do not like to mess with the cataract until it has almost made the vision in that particular eye almost non-exsistent.\n  The theory to that is if your vision is almost gone in that eye because of the severity of the cataract,if infection should occur after surgery you haven't lost anything though the benefits far exceed the risk.\n  There is no guarantee as to whether you will need glasses or not.  Alot of it depends on how healthy your retina is and how sucessful your surgery is.\n  I have seen alot of patients who glasses prescription was lessened after surgery and in the same respect I have seen them be able to throw their glasses away and get by with only readers.(Still need the silly things for reading and doing up close work)\n  Sometimes after cataract surgery is performed. . .a very simple operation now a days,a membrane behind the cataract that separates the front of the eye from the back of the eye\nthat was left as a precaution to keep any infections in the front part of the eye from spreading to the back of the eye where the retina and optic nerve could be affected might become clouded. . .a kind of scar tissue. \n   It will cause some cloudiness similar to the cloudiness once noticed prior to the cataract surgery. \n   The cloudiness will generally be noticed with a few weeks/months after the cataract surgery.\n   When chance of infection is no longer present,the doctor can put a few shots of laser on that membrane to open it and eyesight should improve.\n    The laser procedure is PAINLESS and only takes a few seconds.\n    Hardly ever will a doctor do both eyes at the same time.\n    Theory on that is that doing both eyes at one time does really hinder the patient anyway not to mention that if one eye gets infected,as a general rule,the other eye will follow right behind the first eye and this is a risk that few doctors want to see their patients take.\n    If you have cataracts and are considering having them removed,I highly recommend that if your doctor gives you the go ahead. . .Do it.  You will not regret it.\n    I promise you it is as most all of our patients told us the day after surgery. . .That wasn't as bad as I had it figured it would be.

i think that it might be okay if you keep it in the solution for a month (you might want to replace the solution every 5-7 days.. but check with your optometrist first) but DON'T swim with them.. when soft contact lenses get completely wet, they stick to your eyeball like no other.. and it becomes really difficult to remove them.. i know.. from experience :/

take an aspirin..and drink plenty of water..not sure what the chemistry is behind it but i guess its cooling and so..helps! looking at the computer screen also contributes to headaches..as it puts a lot of strain on the eyes. i'd say..get some rest!

actually not wearing your glasses will make your eye sight worse. My friend started out with a slight vision problem but because she thought wearing glasses was dumb she put it off for years, now she can't see ten feet in front of her with out wearing her glasses, how cool is that? Go to the doctor he will be able to tell you if it is from fatigue or an actual problem.

Make sure not to sit close to it,and take frequent breaks by resting your eyes...Look away then sit with your hands cupped over your eyes for 2 mins,then go back to using computer.Do some eye exercises...look up then to the side then around then down for 30 seconds each.

I am a nurse working on the night shift.  I often see people sleeping with their eyes open on my hourly rounds.  It really creeps me out!  Sleeping with eyes open would dry eyes out terribly and corneal abrasions would probably occur.  Not a  silly question.  You might also post it in the health forum.

wow sumbody actually asked. yes it does work. after only two months my doctor saw a significant improvement. my eyes go a little worse but he said the results were amazing! since i am still a preteen, most myopic kids my age would have had almost added half of their already existing prescription. but i have a theory of why my eyes did not improve. last year, i was check with -3.15 . however, i was at that stage when i hated wearing glasses because of my ugly look. so i went completely without my glasses for the whole summer. when i was checked in september 05, my doctor had said i had strained my eyes so much. after two months of eye exercises, my myopia had improved from my state of strain in the summer to what i am now even though it is still a little worse than my prescription 2 yrs ago

I would try a few things before going to the eye doctor IF you are in pretty good health. It might be something just out of habit or common sense thats causing your body to wake up this way. \n\n1st thing I would try for 3-4 days straight is to jump in a hot shower as soon as you wake up. Make sure you hit your face and eyes and hair with a good cleaning. I suspect various body oils from your hair and/ or skin are getting into your eyes through out the night.\n\n2nd thought: Your body is low on nutrition and/or water first thing in the morning. With dehydration and the lack of vitamins, your eyes are suffering. Some people this matters, other people dont ever need vitamins. Depends how strong your gene set is and what other not so great habits you intake like smoking or drinking. So my suggestion is when you wake up and during sleep, have some vitamin water next to your bed and drink up. Then as soon as you wake up go make yourself a healthy vitamin liquid shake and see how your eyes react. \n\n3rd: Sounds silly but do some form of stretching and mild exercise like walk up some stairs slowlllyyyy 4-6 times. See if your eyes are coming better into focus then. I suspect maybe some kind of position in which you sleep is cutting off the oxygen and/or bloodflow to your eye area. Some people sleep face down on their hands in the face, this would be an example. \n\n4th: Sleep apnea is another suspect---try BREATH RIGHTS strips for 7-10 nights on your nose. See if you wake up more refreshed and your eyes arent as blurry. You might have a breathing problem the way you sleep. 1 out of every 7 adults sleep in some harmful way that is NOT healthy for the breathing --doesnt matter if you are overweight or unhealthy.  \n\nShould be very interesting to see what combinations of this or that above helps you out. Email me and let me know how it goes ok? Good luck.

I live in Arizona, and never had real problems with my contacts till I moved here.  Now I can't wear contacts at all, they irritate my eyes.  I went to the optometrist and asked what the heck is wrong with me and they said it was low tear production.  Well, to make a long story short, I don't wear contacts anymore but still have dry eye problems, especially in the morning.  In my opinion, there seems to be no really good solution because I feel like I've tried everything (from supplements to visine) and nothing "cures" the problem.  Sorry to sound so bleak...  Hope you find a good answer

yes, this is normal.  happens to me everytime I get new glasses or contacts.  BUT if it doesn't go away in 2-3 days, you may have been OVERcorrected and I would go back and have your Dr. change the prescription.   sometimes takes several tweaks to get it just right - maybe you can see street signs great when you're driving but are unable to focus in on words on a page.  gotta find your perfect balance.

It's me again. Gordy in South Portland, Maine. That gooey stuff are your eyes, trying to heal themselves. You may possibly have a little irritation in your eyes, still. If you have a family doctor, he can take a peek and prescribe an eye rinse for you to keep your eyes clean while they are healing. Because this is such a pain in the neck to you, I would think a quick visit to your doctor, or even a walk-in clinic, would end a lot of useless worry about it. The best part about doctors and clinics is that almost all of the  time they have seen all this before and they will know exactly what to do for you. A fantastic eye rinse you can pick up at the pharmacy, over the counter, is Collyrium. It comes in a 4 ounce bottle with an eye cup on top to use. All it is is boric acid, sodium borate and water, preserved with benzalkonium chloride (0.01%). Don't let that fancy language scare you. It's great stuff, and after you slosh it around in your eyes for about thirty seconds, you can feel the itching go away and your eyes getting a decent chance to heal themselves. Your best bet, and the one that I'd opt for because it's the shortest route to home plate, is just see your doctor or clinic. They have stuff even better than the stuff I just recommended to you and it will also shorten the time you have to be bugged it this. I sometimes get allergic reactions to stuff after being out on my bicycle for long rides in the Maine countryside, and this eye wash Collyrium knocks it out pretty quick. Hope I haven't upset you with all this information. I will be holding a very strong thought which goes like this: let him get his eyes in good shape again before this Saturday. Good luck to you from  - G. in South Portland, Maine., U.S.A.
