Is it possible? I would like to get it in just one eye, and if it doesnt cause any blinding or serious complications, I could get it in my second eye..

Well the answer is YES.  I just wonder what type of eye surgery you are having?  Cataract surgery is always done on one eye at a time.  LASIK or corrective laser surgery is usually done on both eyes at the same time, but often we only do one eye.  A lot of people have different prescriptions in each eye.  It is not uncommon to do a monovision-type of procedure so that one eye sees for distance while the other sees for near.  Also, in regards to the cost, I would think that you could make a deal with the facility in which if you pay up front for both eyes and only have one eye done at a time, you could still get the discounted price.  (just my thinking).  Good luck!!!!

I was unaware that our third eye had anything to do with "Depth Perception"....\nIt is more like a cane for the sight-impared.\nHowever, in your case, I would turn her into an orc, or put her on the wrack for insolence.\n\nYour eye is all seeing, oh Lord of Darkness.\nUse the Pilantir... it will add a second dimention.

Classical, as apposed to common, migraines have a visual aura. Does the light look a bit like crinkled aluminum foil that is getting reflected light from a fan spinning? Some people describe it as a pulsing zigzag. You can close/open either eye and it is still there, so you know that it is not specific to one eye but is impacting both.\n\nMost people will get pain associated with their auras but not at the same time as the aura is happening. When I was younger, I used to get pain on the top of one eyeball that felt like a dull pencil point pushing down on it. Now that I am in my 40's though, I just get the aura without any pain. Most people get a migraine that is not directly associated with the area above the eye though.\n\nDoctors only know that the condition seems to be brought on by blood flow changes to the brain. Typically there is a rapid drop followed by a rapid rise in blood supply. The drop brings the aura and the rise brings the headache. There are preventative medications that can be prescribed. Personally, I prefer not to take a medicine unless I have dire need of it. The occassional aura isn't bad. \n\nRecent research has indicated that there may be a higher liklihood of stroke in people that get classical migraines, so do make lifestyle choices that give you the best chance possible of avoiding additional stroke risks.

You can call your eye doctor - he/she should be able to get you another pair to get by until you can get another exam.  You won't be able to order contacts online without a new prescription.

its temporary\nbut if you wore goggles it could be avoided possibly\n\nNO do not put eye drops in, because there are chemicals in the eye drops and you don't want to mix those chemicals with the chemicals already in your eyes, it could be dangerous for your eyes

I also had the surgery about 6 years ago now, so I imagine that technology has greatly improved since then. I really didn't experience any pain with the procedure, but it was a little weird. It worked great and is still working. Usually they tell you you can't do certain things for like a month afterwards while your eye heals up completely, but I suppose it depends on what type of surgery you are getting (they have different kinds now.) I'd say go for it. It's great not to have to wear glasses or contacts.

Yes, you can go blind (not to be flip).  Intercranial Hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) is an elevation of pressure in the cranium and if high enough causes the optic nerves to be compressed and if compressed long enough can cause the nerve to atrophy and die ie go blind.  Listen if you are still getting bad headache you need treatment.  Either repeat spinal taps, meds like Diamox, or even a VP shunt will help.  If no insurance, go to your community health medical clinic and see if they can help you.  If all fails try the ER and explain your situation (try a line like if the ER doc tries to send you home but doc I have no money and no followup whos going to support me if i go blind....Pause...are you going to support me if i go blind)

Go for it!  But let me tell you EXACTLY how the procedure will go down.  My husband had the surgery in 2000, and I sat in the waiting room and was able to watch the entire surgery on television live.  They take these clamps and pull his eye open, after he is giving a strong numbing agent in the eye.  Well, he cant feel the clamps. Then, the doctor cuts open his cornea just to the point that it hangs over.  He takes the exposed area and zaps the eyes with a laser. It took just a minute, and then he flips the cornea back into place, and taped my husband's eyes closed. Next, he did the other eye.  Well, he finished in less than five minutes. My husbands eyes were taped shut and these honeycomb looking things were placed over both eyes, along with those big huge glasses you see the elderly people wearing. And voila! That was it. He was given a sedative which helped him sleep when we got home.  He had to wear those honeycomb looking things overnight, but it didn't bother him because he was knocked out from the sedative. He also had plenty of eyedrops. Well, a week later he had a follow up appt. and his vision was incredible!!!!  I hope you decide to do it. And over the years, LASIK has become more and more affordable.  Here's to a speedy recovery.

NO. JUST DO IT UNTIL YOU NEED GLASSES.\nYOU WILL BE FINE.

I do also, have since childhood. An eye doctor told me that it is not all that uncommon. He had a word for it that I do not recall. Harmless, and somehow related to the eyes. Great news is, your children can expect to have it also.

No, you have a different eye exam for contacts, so the same script wouldn't work  -  it's a different type.

Best money I EVER spent.  I also have an astigmatism.  They can still do the surgery.  Depending on where you are, see if you have a TLC (The Lasik Center) near you.  They have 'wave front' technology, which is great for astigmatism.  I had my surgery 2 years ago & it's still great.  The first couple days are a little weird, like your close up vision seems hard to focus, but that goes away.  Also, night time, there are halos for a week or two on lights, etc..  Probably the only annoying thing is that my eyes seem to be more sensitive to bright sunshine, but that's ok, I just have a really cool pair of SPY sunglasses  :)

Personally, I like the policeman comment, but okay.  Try this approach--if you were the budisatha (bodhisattva?), and if I were to humbly walk up to you, then which two eyes would you see my approach with?\n\nIf you see something, you see something; but if you're examining eyes--you're an optometrist!  \n\nWhich two eyes are right? The two eyes the bodhisattva sees out of, of course!  How do you know which two he sees out of?  You must be the bodhisattva, of course!  How does one become the bodhisattva...?  \n\nA good start is, when seeing--see, when sitting--sit, do in the moment only that which is "of" the moment (not that you could do anything else, but it never hurts to try)...and all other things resolve themselves.  It is in that moment of resolution where appear: The two eyes of the bodhisattva!\n\nNote:  If you notice their appearance--they will vanish before your eyes (bad)!  That is, unless, you have truly noticed their appearance, in which case they will truly vanish before your eyes (good).\n\n-S

your doctor told you that you needed an operation. you did not include much detail as to why the doctor told you to have surgery. you included no symptoms. do you think we can cure you of an unknown problem with your left eye?

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.
