If somebody was born blind, how do you explain to them that they are blind, and everybody else can see the things that they cannot, and can they understand this?

Does the price varies for your eye degrees for daily disposable contact lenses w/o the astima thingy?
Or is the price the same regardless of your eye degrees?

I have never worn contact lenses before but i was told by an optican that the cheapest daily disposable contact lenses i can get is FreshKon at 2 boxes (15 pairs per box) for only $57.
(In Singapore)
I doubt the price for a bit because its too cheap my friend bought other brands for like $90 at 2 boxes!
I asked and he said it includes Eyetest.

Oh yes and the purpose of this question is that I have only saved up to $70+ so i was afraid that if the Freshkon is going to charge me higher for having higher degrees or some eyetest problem

My eyes have been looking increasingly bloodshot since I got contact lenses (almost 3 years ago). For school I put my contacts in at about 7 in the morning to about 4 in the afternoon, and by the time I take out my lenses, the blood vessels in the corners of my eyes are redder and look bigger. My eyes also feel a little dry by the time I take out the lenses. My contact solution is Alcon Opti-Free Express. Is there any way I can fix/reverse this bizarre behavior in my eyes? Please help!

does anyone else have this problem? is there a product or something out there I can use on my glasses so one side sits higher and thus they look even?

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but for as long as I can remember, I've seen flashing patterns of "static" along with "floaters" and what looks like flecks of snow falling across my vision. It never stops, and it is getting worse and worse over these few months. Along with that, every now and then this ringing in my ears starts and drives me insane. Also, sometimes (when I'm lying down, walking, standing up, whatever!) I suddenly feel light headed and like I'm falling. And usually when this happens the static fills my WHOLE vision (like thats all I see) and then when it clears it looks like everything is falling towards me. I have never taken drugs or drank, I'm a teenager, I'm a vegetarian, and I suffer from ADHD and an anxiety disorder. What's wrong with me?

I can't recognise faces at all. If someone drasticly changes their hairstyle, I have almost no idea who they are. It is esspecially hard to follow films, I always get the characters mixed up. I'm even worse with photos. I don't wear glasses. I have no other problems with eyesight.

I have had pink eye before due to not properly caring for my contacts and rubbing my eyes too much. I corrected this problem by following directions and keeping my hands away from my eyes as much as possible. Even though I did this, my eyes still got irritated off and on, so I assumed it was my solution and switched brands. My right eye felt dicomfort yesterday, and my left was fine. This morning, they are both really red and cloudy/blurry. I never had cloudy or blurry eyes when I had pink eye. Everytime my eyes get irritated, I take the lenses out and wear glasses untill they are clear again. I have been wearing lenses for about 6 years (this did not happen when I first stared wearing contacts) and had a new percription about a year ago. Could it be some kind of allergic reaction or something? or a fungus, other then typical pink eye? thanks! :)

I am wondering what does that 3 rows of visual test means, i mean from the 1st row which is big characters to the 3rd rows which is relatively small. how did the nurse deduce 6/6, 6./7.5 to 6/120 etc?

Any additional helpful information on this particular test will be most helpful. Many thanks!

- And dry other times
I feel like a damn idiot when i go through it every year because I'm always blinking!!!

My sinuses are also horrible from allergies so any headache medicine you can suggest let me know. Thanks so much in advance,

I am 20 years old and I just got my first eye exam ever. Here is my prescription:
OD: Sphere: -0.25 Cylinder: -0.75 Axis: 153
OS: Sphere: -0.75 Cylinder: -0.50 Axis: 068
I'm not sure if this prescription is bad enough for me to get glasses. On the paper, the doctor recommended full time wear, or distance only so I'm not really sure what to do.

I'm 13 years old, and my eyesight is terrible (-5.00 for my left eye and -5.75 for my right and it's NOT heriditary). I used to do several things that put strain on my eyes... I wear glasses already obviously, and now have to limit myself to about 100 mins a day on anything that strains the eye. I wanted to know if there's a healthy, natural way to stop my eyes from getting any worse, and perhaps, even make them get better? I already know that perfect vision is 20/20, but what is the worst it can possibly get to?

Should I be really concerned over this? Sometimes I suffer from seasonal allergies. I develop fluid in my ears and my throat drains and I get a headache (with sneezing, etc). Could the eye problem just be part of the allergies?

My husband can get this deal for eye surgery. He's vision is really bad without his glasses. I'm just wondering if this is a good price. The guy comes highly recommended and other soldier my husband works with have gone to him and done great. However with how many people take advantage of military people and try to say they are giving a deal and it turns out not to be I want to be sure.

I wear glasses but I really hate it. I want to get eye contact but I’m not really sure about it. I talked to a lot of people who had experience at it. Some say it was good & some other say they even couldn’t stand it for a minute, & I really don’t know what its reflex on my eyes is. I really hate glasses but I also afraid because I heard it may hurt my eyes.
I really need help about it.

I start reading and like after 15 mins my eyes start getting tired and want to close. If I keep reading my eyelids would get coldish. Does this mean I need glasses because I know some people can read a whole book and not be tired. If it helps I usually read out loud...DO I need glasses or what's wrong?
