PLEASE do not trust ANYTHING you read here in regards to medical information.\n\nCall your pharmacist and talk to them about the side effects you are experiencing.  Your eyes are worth more then some answers you get on Yahoo Answers.

Im not sure if head trauma can cause this later on in life , but I do know that one is usually born with this condition. I have two family members which have suffered from this and I myself have what is known as a "lazy-eye" and all of us have been born with this eye condition. However, there are corrective measures as well as surgeries and it's too bad this little darling wasnt given the chance at having one.

read info at http://www.preventblindness.org/TN/TN_LWSL_part2.html and if you see anything at that site which might describe your problem you need to see a vision specialist. Good luck !

my aunt had it done 10 years ago.  unfortunately she relies on an oxygen tank and can barely walk up stairs.  She is 60.  Sad, but she has emphysema.. diagnosed at 40.

First of all you need to list yourself as an Organ Donor and have that put on your driver's license. MAKE YOUR WISHES KNOWN TO YOUR FAMILY!!! Also, I suggest you write a living will.\nI know 2 people who have benefitted from the surgery and the only complication was the adjustment back to being sighted again, which was easily treated with physical and psychological therapy. Both are very happy with their "new" sight.

I am comletely blind in my left eye and my right eye is 20/50. Don't worry you are not alone! I felt the same way until I got in touch with the National Federation of the Blind (even though I am not completely blind). \n\nWhat is your Vis. Iimpairment from?

Depends on what kind.\n\nThe kind I had, which was for a retinal detachment, had me in a semiconscious haze of pain for about a week, and hurt to a lesser degree for about a month afterwards.  At the beginning, I could not read, watch TV, or look at anything really, because it hurt too much to move and/or focus my eye.  I would recommend eye surgery to save your sight (it was worth that) but not for any cosmetic reason.

atelectasis is not bad. However if you don't get t reatment for it, it can progress into pnemonia. in your lungs you have air sacs, just imagine a bunch of grapes, thats exactly what your aveoli in your lungs are, they stay open and full all of the time, however when you don't breath in deep enough long eventually those air sacs collapse, that iis attelecasis, I take it that you have recently had surgery or are in pain for some reason? that is almost always whay patients have this\nthe cure for it is easy!!!! do you have an incentive spiroometer? if you do use is 10 breaths every hour while you are awake... if not you need to take 10 good deep breaths, as deep as you can every hour... and hold the breaths in for a few seconds... take your time between the breaths.. you can take a few normal bettween....\n\ni am a respiratory therapist, i have worked for 6 years doing just this... teaching patients how to breath.....\n\nI hope this helps you

You can try doing exercises to improve your vision. I recently started doing eye exercises to try to improve my vision. I created a blog where I record my progress with the exercises.\n\nMy vision is 20/400, which is really poor. \n\nI recently saw some improvement. Other people (who have also experienced improvements) have posted comments about their experiences as well. You can check it out at: http://improvingmyeyesight.com/blog\n\nHope this helps...

I'm waiting on surgery to have my left eye operated on. i don't know any procedures around that will fix a catarrh without surgery as you need to have your bad lens removed and a new one put there. I've had my right eye done and can see through it perfectly. i cant see a thing through my left eye. the longer you leave it the worse it get, believe me i know.

This is a great medication, I was around when it was just introduced in the clinical setting and after, there are a lot of people who have regained lung volumes! Thought never to be able to happen with copd patients.\nThe answer is right about not using atrovent, what it does is because sprieva is a longer acting atrovent they compete for the same receptor and if you have too much atrovent in there the spireva is just wasted and useless.\n\nspiriva is great!

Yes I have...It is a something that runs in my family...I believe it is called Menier's (not sure of the spelling)Disease...It is caused when the water level in the middle ear is disrupted...My father takes anti-vert, although from what he has told me a person can build up immunity to its effects...He does get it very bad at times and he is aware of its onset, so he takes 1/2 of a Valium which reduces the anxiety of knowing that he may be laid up in bed for a week, but it does seem to help him with the symptoms...or...get this...he puts the hair drier to his ear...the gentle air flow seems to help level out the water imbalance...he is 76 years old so he has become quite proficient in his own health care...He was also told about a surgical procedure...but that could possibly leave you deaf...I like the hair drier idea myself...contact your doctor and ask your family members if they have had it...I know my paternal grandmother had it, my father has it, and I get it too...My best preventive is just move more slowly, avoid wild amusement park rides, and when I'm on a boat or a passenger in a  fast moving car, I NEVER look down...only forward...I hope this has helped...

Yes, I actually have one to share. Several years ago I went to LensCrafters to do my yearly checkup and get more lenses. For some reason I could not get the lens on and the doctor became really impatient with me. He tried to put it in but he kept poking my eye and for some odd reason it was like my body was revolting from his touch. I've never had this happen before. Well, he became very rude with me, I don't remember his exact words anymore, and if I saw him today I would not know him, but it was a horrible experience.\n\nLooking back I actually kind of feel sorry for him, because it was a no-win situation. I think if the shoe had of been on the other foot I would have been annoyed too, but I wouldn't of been rude to the customer (they are always right). The woman at the front desk had said he had been rude with other customers so I assume he probably was going through something personal.\n\nIt would be nice to know how your situation turns out though. Perhaps it is a growing trend at Lenscrafters.

Absolutely!  I'm a Respiratory Therspist working in rehab and the staistics are too convincing.  The better educated a patient is about his/her disease process the better they are able to manage it rather than it managing them.  The type of rehab program you go thru is dependant on the disease process you have but they are have some common denominators.

I have quite a few friends that have had the surgery.\nThe longest has been 10 years ago.  None of them have loss any vision since the surgery and they are all very pleased with the outcome.
