Question

How can I have a normal eyes without using spectacles or contact lens?

Answer 1

Swimming: There are prescription swim goggles that you can use. You don't need contact lenses!

Answer 2

Yes: There are three ways to handle this: 1. Don't wear anything. 2. Wear contact lenses with swim goggles over them. 3. Get a pair of prescription swim goggles.

Answer 3

No: The answer is not a clear cut yes/no. The fda has assigned a category c rating which means there were some negative effects when given to animals at extremely high doses but no clear answer in humans. You should talk to your ob, eye doctor and pediatrician.

Answer 4

Not safe: It is category c meaning that animal studies have shown adverse effects on fetuses, but no human studies have been done. Even less is known about it's effect on lactation. Avoid it during pregnancy and breast-feeding if possible.

Answer 5

No: Both drugs are category c, which means there are no direct human harm shown, but animal studies show adverse effects on the fetus. The benefits may outweigh the risks, under certain circumstances, this should be discussed with your doctor. Rifampin is considered safe with breast feeding while Isoniazid is not and may decrease flow and quality of milk.

Answer 6

No: Isoniazid-rifampin has not been formally assigned to a pregnancy categoy by the fda. Isoniazid-rifampin is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk. Both of them have been assigned to a pregnancy category c by the fda. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy; however, both of them known to cross the placental barrier and appear in a cord blood. No bf recommen.

Answer 7

Not clear: I will discuss with your pediatrician the kind of reaction thta your baby had and decide from there. If you have any question try to contact an infectious disease specialists.

Answer 8

No; confirm first!: Polio is nearly wiped out of the world but threats of resurgence still exist. Therefore, continued worldwide immunization practices are imperative. Before parents decide not to continue with the recommended shot schedule it is wise to consult the child's provider first and foremost. According to http://www.Cdc.Gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/downloads/vis-ipv.Pdf there are just a few contraindications.

Answer 9

Maybe; do ask doctor: If a child has a reaction after a dose of polio vaccine, the parents should talk with the doctor to see whether the reaction was likely from the vaccine or was merely a coincidence. Also, if the reaction was just a larger than usual lump at the injection site, it may or may not happen again. The doctor and parents will decide on a case-by-case basis, whether or not to give the next polio shot.

Answer 10

No: There are no life threatening side effects from the polio vaccine but there are significant risks from polio.

Answer 11

No; confirm first!: Discuss the reaction with your doctor and then make your decision. It's likely the reaction was not due to the vaccine. The polio vaccine side effects are mild, but polio is a devastating disease. This is a case where the risk of the disease is much greater than the risk of the vaccine! i would encourage you to vaccinate.

Answer 12

At 2 months of age: Infants receive the first polio immunization along with at least 4 others. How do you know it was the polio vaccine?

Answer 13

Yes: It amy be more difficult to eradicate warts in women although prescription cream is more effective in women for external warts.

Answer 14

Yes: The prevalence rate in men and women is similar. Hpv is also the most common std in the us according to cdc statistics.

Answer 15

Yes: They use a booklet or chart with pictures made up of dots of various colors. People who are color blind for certain colors will not be able to see the image in the picture.

Answer 16

Yes: Doctors can tell if a person is color blind by using the ishihara test. This test consists of 38 circles of colored dots. Each of the circles of dots contains a hidden number made up of certain colors of dots. Depending on whether or not a person can read the number in the circles, his type of color blindness can be diagnosed. Parts of the ishihara test are posted on websites for people to use.

Answer 17

Color charts: Most eye doctors own an ishihara color vision test booklet which can be used to determine if you are color deficient. There are other booklets as well, color caps, and other more sophisticated means to determine the degree and type of color deficiency you might have.
