Is it okay to fall asleep with your contact lenses on?
No it is not OK to fall asleep in your contacts. They have to be the proper kind, approved for extended wear. If you do HAPPEN to fall asleep, don't panic and rip them out. If they are soft lenses rub the eyelid lightly over the lens and wet it well, then you can remove it. If they are gas permeable then the same applies just move the lens to make sure that it is not locked on. Do everything slowly and lightly. Putting a drop of saline or artificial tear in before you remove them will make everything easier and healthier. Robert Maynard O.D. Phoenix, Az. READ MORE
Why do my eyes hurt when I look to the side?
Good day, Yes, you should see an eye doctor. If the pain is "bad," by all means. Robert Maynard, O.D. READ MORE
How often should I get an eye test?
If you have reached the age of 40, then every year. Between stopping your education until the age of 40, every two years is fine. Of course that is, unless you notice some difficulty. After 40, then every year until 70, then every 6 months is what I advise. Robert Maynard, O.D. READ MORE
Are colored lenses bad for the eyes?
No they are not. You should be very wary of wearing them at night. They should be fit to your eye by a licensed dispenser. All of the normal warnings about over wearing, sanitation, etc. apply. They do not allow as much oxygen to the eye as some of the more modern lenses so be careful as you should be with any lens. Robert Maynard, O.D. READ MORE
What causes retinal disorders in a person?
Good day, There are a great number of reasons for one to develop macular degeneration. Excessive smoking, poor diet, medications, are among some of the causes. In order to slow the progression, ask your doctor about vitamins. There are a large number of vitamin pills available. One thing to always remember. While the disease can be devastating, there are numerous new treatments for the disease. There are 2 types, wet and dry. The dry form does not progress nearly as rapidly and is not as devastating. One thing I want to stress YOUR MOTHER WILL NOT GO BLIND IN THE SENSE OF LOSS OF ALL VISION. There are legal definitions of blindness. Dark is not one of them. Robert Maynard, O.D. READ MORE
What causes boils inside the eyes?
If you have actual "boils" on the inside of your eyelids, you definitely need to see an excellent eye doctor. Boils are enclosed glands that have a purulent component to them. That is definitely not a common occurrence. If you get bumps on the inside of your eyelids and you wear contact lenses, then that is a totally different problem. That is an incomplete cleaning of the lenses, old lenses, improper fitting lenses, etc. Either one says she needs an eye doctor. Robert Maynard, O.D. READ MORE
What is the reason for repeated pink eye?
The main reason for actual pinkeye is touching the eye with a contaminated finger or hand. Pink eye is an actual infection by bacteria or virus. It usually goes to the other eye and has to run its course. If it is viral, no antibiotics will work and you just have to wait. I would encourage you to clean well with a disinfectant such as bleach and water the entire room, bathroom, toys sheets, etc. It has to be coming from somewhere. That often leads me more to thinking it is viral. Your pediatrician certainly can help you. Something at home or school is a problem as is the hated "wash your hands." Robert Maynard, O.D. READ MORE
Why is my vision so hazy even after recovering from conjuctivitis?
The eyes should not be cloudy after using the medication. I encourage you to go to your eye doctor. It may not have been a simple infection. Don't get worried, just go get it checked please. Robert Maynard, O.D. READ MORE
