Fluorescent lights don't emit enough UV light to be dangerous to your eye.  You do want to make sure that you're always wearing sunglasses outside, though.

You can do everything that you did before, but you must be extra careful to protect your eyes from injury during the first few months.  Safety glasses designed for sports might be a good idea.  Also, after I had lasik, I was much more sensitive to sunlight than I had been before.  So it would be a good idea to invest in a good pair of polarizing sunglasses.

Be careful with products like Bon Ami and anything with acetone as they can damage certain lens materials.  Take the glasses to your eye doctor or optical shop and see if they have any professional strength cleaner that they can use to get the stains out.  If not, it may be time for you to have a prescription update anyway and you could look into getting new lenses.

Ok heres my story:\n\nI had -7 myopia. awfully thick glasses, pretty expensive too and I was virtually blind without them. my glasses were pretty much a part of me, the last thing I did before sleeping and the first thing I reached for when I woke up in the morning. I had astigmatism to boot, and contacts weren't an option. and to make things worse, I had to keep getting stronger pair every 6 months or so. \n\nI am glad I went and got my Lasik. Freedom.\nmy eyes havent gotten weaker, and I didn't need to get glasses. Apparently glasses and their constant moving towards and away from the eye have something to do with increasing power. Yes as I age, my eyes will get weaker in the close region and I might have to get reading glasses for hyperopia, it is not the same thing, and is much better than glasses 24x7 for normal vision.\n\nBe aware though that it isn't entirely a bed of roses. There are some small differences between perfectly normal eyes and lasik treated eyes. First thing you would notice after surgery is dispersion. Bright lights in the dark tend to spread a little, no a disability but is slightly annoying till you get used to it. (this might or might not happent to you depending on the power that you are corrected for). Another effect is a slight drop in contrast when ambient light is low, again not a real issue.\n\nYou should also be aware that not all people are eligible to get lasik. your eligibility is the thickness of your cornea. depending on the power for which your eyesight has to be corrected, your cornea needs to be of atleast a minimum thinkness before a surgeon can create a lens on it. thinning it too much is dangerous because the eye holds some fluids that are under pressure.\n\nThough the surgeon tries to bring the error to 0 Diopters, sometimes there can be a "residual" power left and you might still need to wear glasses after the surgery. But for somebody like me, wearing -0.25 glasses after surgery when i was wearing -7.0 before is perfectly acceptable and is worth the expense. It might not be acceptable for someone wearing -0.5 before the surgery. This is something for you to decide on before you go for the surgery.\n\n24 is a reasonable age to get your lasik. your vision "stabilises" once your growth stops. This is around 18-22 for most people. I'm 25 now, I got my lasik when I was 22.

I believe you are asking if hard contact lenses can improve your vision beyond when they are in your eyes as opposed to if they work for vision correction.  Nothing can permanently correct your vision other than surgery.  While theoretically hard contacts can push on your eye enough to change its shape and therefore theoretically change vision, once you remove them, the eye will assume its normal shape pretty quickly.  But, it's probably not a good idea to push on ones eyeball, which is why those hard contact lenses are so rarely used these days.

It depends on your levels of myopia , your cornea, your healing ability as well as other factors. In my case, it took at least ten days to see everything a little clearer again. It was very difficult for me to read letters on the computer in the first month after the surgery.\n\nI would strongly recommend you and your friend to read this website carefully before making a decision. You have only one pair of eyes, and therefore should not risk your most precious things. I have had lasik surgery myself, and if I were given a choice , I would never have it again. Please do not believe in those who can benefit from your surgery. What they aim at is money, and not your health. I think there is a new technique that helps shape your eyes and thus reduces your myopia without involving any operations at all.\n\nUseful website:\n\nhttp://www.lasikdisaster.com/

Talk to an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

I personally know someone who recieved laser eye surgery. For a while, he was fine, but he eventually went back to glasses.

Maybe get it checked out by an optician.  If your pupils are dilated in strong sunlight you could be getting damage to the inside oif the eye...;

if you have glasses already, then yes.  you should go get an eye exam, and get new glasses.

Screen savers help but i WOULD RECOMMEND antireflective coated lenses. Also get up and get away from the monster for breaks.  Better light  works the best.

My laser eye surgery did not hurt at all. My daughter and I had it done at the same time. I have worn glasses since I was 9 years old and I was SOOOOOO excited to get up the day after surgery, look across the street, and be able to read the house numbers! I only wish I had been able to do it sooner. The farsightedness that occurs in middle age cannot be corrected by Lasik so I have to wear glasses for reading but not for distance. For a few months afterward, I used to see "halos" and double lights at night, but that's disappeared now. If you follow all the aftercare advise on eye drops, sunglasses, etc, you should be fine! I have never regretted having the surgery! Good luck!

As far as Im aware, you can have the lense replace and all that cataracts is, is the hardening of the lense in the eye.\nHave you asked your doctor about this, surely he could give you peace of mind

I have suffered a lot of red-eyes and watery-eyes days during my technical training period while practicing 'Electric Arc Welding' exercises. Although our Swiss instructors adequately informed about the danger of even few seconds of 'accidental' exposure to the sparks from the welding with back up theoretical details, more than half of the students had to suffer anyway! We later saw the same thing repeating in almost all the following batch of trainees and thought that this may be the price you pay for learning this typical task (LOL). However, please read the following excerpt: \n\nAlthough UV and IR light is invisible to the human eye, it nonetheless can have dangerous effects. UV light can damage the eyes in several ways. Excessive exposure to the lowest wavelengths of UV light, also called UV-C (180-290 nm), can cause damage to the cornea as well as the lens. These wavelengths are not common in nature, since they are absorbed by the atmosphere, but are present in some industrial environments, such as electric arc welding. \n\nWelding shades: There are a number of options for welding applications, all of which require shaded lenses to match with the intensity of the electric arc current in use. Attention must be paid to the welding equipment manufacturer's recommendation for weld shade and level of protection required. Welding without the proper precautions can be hazardous, so special care must be given to the type of coverage selected, ranging from safety glasses to face shields to welding hoods and full suits. \n\nBe sure not only to choose the right equipment for a specific application, but also pay close attention to fit as well as function. The right equipment poorly fitted is a significant cause of eye injuries.
