Vision Digest

Penelope L asked:


I am short sighted and I would like to see better naturally without my contacts, which I have recently learned do worsen your vision because your eyes grow to depend on them. Are there any exercises or anything I could do to improve my sight?

lordvanduu asked:


I’m writing a story in which one of the main characters has only one eye and wears an eye patch. For the sake of realism, I’m wondering what affect that has on your over-all vision.

Rachael asked:


I have astigmatisms in both eyes and my vision is usually blurry.

I am a college student in the Marine Corps PLC program, to after college become a Marine Corps Officer. After I serve that I want to try for the Special Forces Force Recon. I am 18 right now and VERY fit, and can get a perfect 300 on the Physical Training- (100 situps in 2 min, 20 pullups, 3 mile in 18min), but my vision is bad and I use contacts. This is my dream please answer!

kimchee_boi asked:


When reading I notice my vision gets blurry when I look across the distance. Sometimes I have to close my eyes to make it better.

Do I need glasses?

Renee C asked:


Can a person with low vision be granted a Permanent Residence or Provasionary visa to Australia considering the Immigration health requirement? I already have passed the points required but that is just the one that is holding me from lodging my application. Please help anyone!

Mattman asked:


I heard it’s recommended. I have no insurance so I have pay out of my pocket. I like to know what are other troubles to go through to get my vision corrected.

faincut asked:


I found a small female kitten in my yard. She was abandoned by her mother or someone throw her to my garden. She is about half the size of the palm of my hand, and her eyes are open. But I don’t think she has her vision. Is something wrong with her or she needs more time to develop sense of vision?

Firefly asked:


I fail the isochromatic (Ishihara) plates, but passed the Farnsworth Lantern test. My question is do you need to retake the color vision test every 3 years for your FAA helicopter medical certification, or are you permanently okay to fly night / instrument once you pass the FALANT test once?

~~~~~~~~ asked:


It’s rather bothersome, so I was wondering if a doctor could help me stop this from happening (or really anything else, for that matter).

Basically, I lose my vision, my body starts to tingle, and I begin shaking noticeably. It happens 4 out of the 5 times I get up. I’ve seen many questions based on this before, but I just can’t tell if it’s very important or not.
Kory: Yeah, I usually slouch and lose my balance.
