Febrile seizures: You can use phenobarb safely, but seek help from a neurologist to determine if there is an underlying seizure disorder

Question 3

runny stools all the time, had a colonoscapy, no abnomalities.eating healthy ie rice pasta chicken salad brown breads and fruit...at a loss?

Accepted Answer

Infection?: If you had a colonoscopy it still doesnt' rule out an intestinal infection. You could have bacteria, yeast, or parasites causing runny stools and not know it.
You would need a special test to figure that out.

Question 4

could vision therapy work to improve visiton?

Accepted Answer

No evidence: Vision therapy is an untested, unproven means allegedly to improve visual efficiency.  It cannot improve basic vision which requires eyeglasses or correction of eye disease.  Vision therapy is expensive and of no benefit.  If this has been recommended for you, consult with a neuro-ophthalmologist.

Question 5

how do i improve my vision?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the vision is diminished by a need for glasses, then get them or contacts.  If there is disease, the it should be treated.  Some things cannot be treated like neglected disease or hereditary problems.  See your ophthalmologist for a diagnosis.

Question 6

what does 20-40 vision mean?

Accepted Answer

Answer: 20/20 means you see at 20 feet what others see at 20 feet. This is normal vision. 20/40 means you see at 20 feet what other can see at 40 feet. Vision is mildly blurred. Hope this helps.

Question 7

what is your non-vision time?

Accepted Answer

?????: I have never heard of this term but i guess it refers to periods without visual input (ie when eye are closed or during sleep).

Question 8

is 20/30 and 20/40 vision bad?

Accepted Answer

Depends: These are levels of vision that still indicate good and useful vision.  If you are used to 20/20 vision and you have a drops to 20/30 or 20/40 (uncorrectable) then it may seem bad to you.  In my state of washington, the break point for a driver's license is a vision level of 20/40, so the state does not consider this 'bad'.

Question 9

how can we protect our vision?

Accepted Answer

Eating right: Eating right is a great start!  reporting any changes in our vision to our primary care physicians is another step in maintain healthy eyes.

Question 10

can a cold affect one's vision?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can: Cold and sinus congestion can affect vision but it only lastsas long as the congestion lasts.
