Answer 1

Myopia: This - 1.00 is only correctable with contacts, glasses or even lasik. The best method of correction depends on your needs and age. Contacts would work well but with them you may have blurry near vision requiring glasses for near. Minus one is not very a very strong power.

Answer 2

LASIK: The only treatment for your -1.00 myopia, other than glasses or contacts, is refractive surgery. Lasik and prk are both excellent refractive laser procedures that can correct your prescription with virtually 99% accuracy. As long as your prescription hasn't changed for 2 years, and your cornea checks out normal, you should be a very good candidate for laser surgery.

Answer 3

Non-surgical option: For low degrees of myopia, some optometrists have had good luck with orthokeratology, a specialized system of contact lens fitting. While lasik or prk can easily correct your low degree of myopia, orthokeratology might work if you can find an optometrist who is experienced with this technique.

Answer 4

No: Crossed eyes and contacts are not related. There are several reasons why eyes might cross; poor vision, lazy eye (amblyopia), strabismus, etc. Many times the situation can be corrected by a pediatric ophthalmologist...They specialize in crossed eyes.

Answer 5

Not sure: What do you mean by "misty?".

Answer 6

Lid Hygeine: Try to clean you eyelids daily with dilute "baby shampoo" and a cotton swab. Place a drop of the shampoo in your palm and dilute it with some water. Work up a small lather and then wet the swab. Clean the base of the eyelashes where they come out of lid of both your upper and lower lids. Do this daily for a while. You can hopefully cut back to less frequent cleaning over time.

Answer 7

Styes: Try warm compresses followed by ocusoft plus lid scrubs, artificial tears, omega-3 fatty acid supplements, and possible topical antibiotic steroid and/or oral doxycycline. See an eye doctor.

Answer 8

Thinning sclera: This can be genetic or develop as a result of eye conditions later in life. You may have a genetic problem that is also related to other connective tissue diseases like the bone, or rheumatologic disease like rhematoid arthritis or have developed this as a result of injury/infection. The sclera can appear blue when it gets thinner & needs to be evaluated by an eye md (ophthalmologist) asap.

Answer 9

Blue sclera: Blue sclera can be normal, congenital due to hereditary issues, inflammatory related, or other issues. See an eye doctor.

Answer 10

Nope: Better implants are coming, though.
