This is a 2-part question, so please bear with me.
1) With regards to age limits, what is the cut-off for being an officer coming into the Coast Guard as a civilian? I am currently 31 years of age, but http://www.gocoastguard.com/find-your-career/officer-opportunities/programs/officer-candidate-school seems to indicate that I can still apply to the USCG OCS (I possess a masters level degree, so education is no problem). However, I've read some contradictory information that seems to indicate that the cutoff is actually age 30… So which is it for the Coast Guard? 30 or 35?
2) If I can't get into the Coast Guard I can still go Navy. So, for all services, what is the deal with colorblindness? I am colorblind… Not totally so, but I definitely cannot pass a plates test, and struggle with the Falant lantern (just watching videos on Youtube makes it clear that I would pass neither). So, this brings up two obvious sub-questions:
A) Can the tests be beat with the recently developed corrective contacts? Do the test administrators force you to remove glasses/contacts before taking the tests? Do you know of anyone who has done this (dishonest [but let's face it, people have been lying about stuff to join the military forever]) route to beat the tests?
B) If I go in without some form of corrective lenses and assuming I fail, can I still do restrictive line? I have a lot of experience in newspaper work, editing and writing, so I know there are Navy and Coasty desk careers I could do. But do I have to at least partially pass the tests to apply? Or can I outright fail both tests and still do desk work?
Thank you for any and all help.

Can you put Walmart Lenses in RayBan frames?
I would like to get my eye exam done at WalMart and get the lenses there, but I want to buy RayBan frames. If I bring the RayBan frames to WalMart, will they put lenses in them?

How to end my speech?
My speech is on the future and what our world will look like in 2050. I don't know how to end my speech, please help!
My speech:
Voice activated computers, already installed into your desks at school. A mini computer and an MP3-plus phone in your pocket. Driving to school on the road can be a little boring and there can be a lot of traffic, ride on a flying car instead. Need a holiday, want an out of this earth vacation? Take a shuttle to the space station and gaze into the stars for a weekend.
Good afternoon legionnaires, judges, friends and family. I'm honored to stand here before you today and share with you some of my thoughts on what I think the future will look like.
Have you ever wondered what life in the future would be like?
The world of 2050 is a world of diversity and mystery. Every day, the world changes in some way. For better or for worse, it keeps changing, and has changed over hundreds of centuries. Even changes about the human lifestyle change daily: technology, transportation, fashion, economy, personal lifestyles, etc. These things change a great deal every decade, and will continue to change into the inevitable future.
Life in the future will take us beyond imagination. With new technologies being invented every day, it will impact every aspect of our lives. From the way we live at home, to how we learn in school, to the way we communicate with each other, to the way we travel, and much, much more. Although, I can't say for sure whether the world will be a better or worse place after 100 years, because I think one part will change for the better, while another part will be worse. In the technology, everything has a different type. Many new machines have been invented. Those things will help people more efficiently.
In 1964, most people would never have guessed that 50 years later, people would permanently live on a space station, computers would enable instant conversations across continents and people would watch television on pocket-sized phones. But if the way we live now is any indication, the next half-century will be even more incredible.
Over the next 36 years, the world's population is likely to grow from close to 7 billion to 8-10 billion people, with a massive increase in demand for energy, land, water and food. The world today is home to over six billion inhabitants. China and India are home to over two billion people and these countries are already experiencing the first signs of over population. If the population continues to grow as it is, the world can expect some serious problems within the next thirty years. Every day a quarter of a million people are added to the world, which equates to eighty seven million people per year. With such an increase in population, one can only expect the depletion of earth's natural resources and the widespread suffering for its inhabitants. Such a dramatic increase in population would, in turn, cause many environmental consequences. Having twice as many people could result in severe problems, such as air pollution and waste management. The more people the earth has, the more of an industrial society it will become.
Scientists will be able to grow new organs in Petri dishes, replacing our aging or injured ones. Cancer will be cured, and genetic therapy will help us live well past 100 years old. Cars will be able to drive on their own, and they'll know where to go by tapping into molecule-sized computers that connect right to our brains.
Vacations will be easier than ever, with hypersonic planes that can fly 10 times the speed of sound, and virtual-reality contact lenses will make you feel like you're sitting on a beach without ever leaving your home. And the changing business world will mean that more products will be designed just the way you want them, at better prices.
In the future, school is going to be great, and learning will be easier, faster and more fun. The school of today will be transformed beyond our belief. Our desks will have pre-installed computers with all the resources we need available online with the touch of the screen. Text books, paper, pens and pencils will be the thing of the past. If you think the Smart Board is neat, just wait for the next generation of Smart Boards, they will be voice activated and remotely controlled.

How come trial contact lenses are much clearer vision than the ones they order you if you feel ok?
When going for contact lens test they try a pair on (the trials )they already have them there I don't know where they get them from, and they let you wear them for a day to see if they comftable, but when I go back and they say they fine and order me 3 pairs how come the vision isn't so clear with the ones they order? Abd ofcourse different packing, why are the trials so clear and the ones I actually order are not so clear vision but exactly the same prescription? Do doctors have better quality or what I don't understand?

Vision has gone foggy and won't clear up?
I don't know what to do. No eye doctor is open this late. Basically I got a new pair of hard contact lenses. I hadn't worn any in two years. I put them in without letting them soak overnight. (I was given no instruction) and I took them out about two hours ago and the foggyness has not cleared up. Everything is hazy. What should I do? I am having a hard time here?

Constantly Feel One Contact Lens?
I've had contacts for some time now and my right eye always bothers me. It doesn't hurt or sting, but I can always feel the contact on the outside of my right eye, kind of like when something gets in your eye. I tried 2 week and daily contacts but with the same results. It seems to get worse as the day goes along and the contact dries out, but I can feel it the second I put the contact in. My eye does not hurt when the contacts are in my eye, and my left eye has no issues. Any thoughts?

Headaches, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and blurred vision?
Hi, for about a week I've been feeling really tired, if I'm up and about I get waves of dizziness then nausea every so often, sometimes I see black for abit but then my vision comes back. Like today I fell asleep in my college lesson this morning and when I was wiring notes everytime I looked up I felt dizzy and my vision was blurred. Also felt sick and I get pains in my lower tummy at night, I'm a current user of contacts lenses and I've recently has a blood pressure check which was fine, I'm slightly underweight as I am 17, my height is 5,4 and I weigh 7 stone when I checked…
Can anyone help?

Why do people care so much that people wear make up?
WHY do people make such a fuss if somebody wears make up? Or coloured contacts? Or hair extensions? Or anything like that?
Why is it such a big deal to some people? Today I was on the bus, I overheard (was eavesdroping) two girls' conversation about another girl… "Look how much make up she wears! Gross! Her hair isn't even real! My hair is! Ha, I don't need that much make up", blah blah blah. What did they want? A medal for having naturally long hair? It's pathetic. Some people need make up or hair extensions to make themselves feel confident within, right? What's the problem with that? Why does it matter to people so much if someone always wears make up, or if someone has hair extensions, or wear contact lenses? It's so stupid.
Truthfully - some people aren't "naturally" beautiful. I'm not. When I take off my make up, I think I look awful. When I have it on, I have an ounce of confidence with how I look. There are some girls (and boys) who have naturally clear skin and prominent feautures, long eyelashes and what not. All girls I meet feel the need to ask: "Is that your real hair?", why does it matter if it wasn't?
I wish people would mind their own business and stop trying to call on other people because they aren't as "natuarally flawless" as them. Right?

Myopia and toric lens?
I've myopia and my left eye power is a bit high. I've been using contact lens, but the power of my left eye lens is not matching, as my doctor says that contact lens come in predefined discrete powers and I would not be able to get one for my exact power. Now, another optician advises me to use toric lens on my left eye. Please advise if toric lens would get me the exact lens power for the powers provided below. Or is there any better type of lens? The powers mentioned below are my eyeglass powers and not contact lens powers.
Right Eye -5.00 (SPH)
Left Eye -6.00(SPH) -2.00(CYL) 180(Axis)
Thanks

Lazy Eye Corrective Lenses in Bangalore?
Hello,
I would like to know of the doctors who can check and prescribe a squint correction glasses/spectacles/lenses for me.
I have already been to Narayana Netralaya just beside to ISKCON, Cord Road in Bangalore many many times till now but of no use, they just check the power and say "Nothing can be done" as I am currently 25 years old.
Its been a great dismay for me since young age that I am being going through a series of trauma due to lazy eyes.
I have squint in my left eye which sees exactly opposite of right eye. I can only see through right eyes and partially through left that too only when I close right eye to check if left eye is dead or working as doctors claim left eye to be dead.
I really need assistance in solving this mystery of lazy eyes or squint eyes.
I fear of Lasik or so called cosmetic treatments to eyes as the success chances are just 10% and I do not wish to take chances on this.
I am wearing glasses/spectacles since I was in schooling and till now I am wearing them.
I stay just 4 KMS near to ISKCON in Bangalore. So is there a really good doctor(s) or optician(s) who are really sure of dealing with this?
Thank you,
Amit Teli

What causes myopia and astimatism after age 20?
www.nytimes.com/2011/06/21/opinion/21wan…
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/children_shealth/4140371/Spending-time-in-sun-can-prevent-children-becoming-short-sighted.html
2007 is when the study was done.
how stuff works tv is bad for your eyes page 2.
these sites claim that the prominent austrialian optometrists who spent years studying myopia concluded that the children who spent an average of 2 hours/day in the sunlight were 9x less likely to be myopic or nearsighted than the ones who spent an average of 1/2 an hour. The eyeball stops growing by 8-13 (usu. 13 & http://www.flexiglasseye.com/grow.html). MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF MYOPIA. Distant 2nd is corena's too refracted. Distant 3rd lens too curved. From age 20, eye's lens grows round and astigmatism is caused by the lens or cornea being too curved.
http://www.webmd.com/eye-health/astigmatism-eyes states that excat cause is unknown for astimatism. I have posted these links because a man (?) named frank keeps disparaging my character and falsely answering my questions. He claimed that i forgot how to read or was drunk because only genetics causes myopia. He should be ashamed of himself.
he implied that i was delusional when i mentioned that my eyesight was improved via lutein and zeandtrhin. I was sensitive to light. Http://optical.com/eye-disease/eye-conditions/photophobia/,

Okay,
I am 15, and Aboriginal(Blackfoot). I'm 5'4. My hair is naturally black, and my skin is a light shade. My eyes are kind of big, and people always ask if I'm wearing circle lenses. People have told me that i look Jaapanese, sometimes even Korean. Id say i'm pretty good at singing, and my friends and my siblings also say that "You're really good!". I'm okay at dancing i guess. I know a lot of Korean, but I'm still not fluent. I am good at pronouncing words in Korean. I also know alot of other Asian languages too:3.
I know a lot about Korean culture and Banmal and other things.
I'm a very hard worker, and i am determined with anything i love. I do the best i can.

How to know what kinds of lenses I need for glasses?
I went to LensCrafters to pick out some glasses and the lady did a horrible job explaining the type of lenses I needed. My prescription is -8.50 -2.50 and the lady said that I would need high index lenses because my eyesight is so bad which I completely understand, but when I asked her what would happen if I bought the cheapest lenses and she said that I would probably see better but she kept pushing the high index lenses. I understand that she is a salesperson and she works off of commission but I would honestly just like a real explanation of what kind of lenses are best for me. I wear contacts mostly so I would really only wear glasses at night on the weekends or days I don't go anywhere so I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on glasses.

My eye doctor messed up & now I don't know which lenses to order?
Scroll down for tl;dr
Recently I went to the eye doctor and found out my vision had changed.
The paper she gave me says this. It's hard for me to decipher.
SPHERE N 1 EYE - RIGHT PHOROPTER… -2.50 Diopters
CYLINDER N 1 EYE - RIGHT PHOROPTER… SPH Diopters
SPHERE N 1 EYE - LEFT PHOROPTER…-3.25 Diopters
CYLINDER N 1 EYE - LEFT PHOROPTER… -0.75 Diopters
AXIS DEGREE N EYE - LEFT PHOROPTER. X150 Degrees
At the doctors she told me the left eye will have a toric lense.
--
I recieved the contacts and the box labelled LEFT says: -.275
and the box labelled RIGHT says: -3.50 / -0.75 x 150
Did she mix the boxes up? Also the number for one of the eyes is DIFFERENT than on the paper she gave me.
How would I go about ordering contact lenses online?
I want to order the "Geo Princess Mimi Almond Brown (Bambi Series)" from pinkyparadise.com but as you can see on the site, they don't have the numbers for one of my eyes.
--
TL;DR I'm basically asking what number contact lenses I should order from pinkyparadise. Should I just pick the closest possible number to -.350 / -0.75 x 150? -3.50, -3.75, -3.25?

TL;DR I'm basically asking what number contact lenses I should order from pinkyparadise. Should I just pick the closest possible number to -.350 / -0.75 x 150? -3.50, -3.75, -3.25?

What happens if I wear normal contact lenses?
I have astigmatism and wear toric lenses, but what would happen if i wanted to wear normal contacts to get more color options? Could I do this? And if so will my perscription change or worsen? My current perscription is -3.50 or -350 in Left eye and -2.50 or -250 in right eye. Also is that really bad, because my optometrist said I'm legally blind w/o my contacts/glasses. Thanks

How expensive are contact lenses and are they worth it?
Hey guys, I've worn glasses my whole life and I'm ready for a change. I have been thinking of getting contacts but I'm kind of on a budget. However, I want to give them a try because glasses have deprived me from activities such as sports. So my questions is just how much can i expect to spend including the eye exam and at least a 6 month supply of contacts? I was planning to get them at walmart's vision center since that's where I have gotten my glasses for the past few years, but if you guys know better places i would really appreciate it. Also, i have pretty bad eyesight, sph: -6.00, cyl:-275, axis: 180 is my glasses prescription.
p.s I actually have had trial contact lenses before but I tore one of them on the second day and I remember my folks scolding me because they were expensive lol.

Slightly stronger contact lenses?
I need new contacts and they don't have -1.25 which i've been using for a few months. They have -1.5 though. Will it be a problem?
On my eyes exam a year ago I was told "You are pretty much -1.5 but, so you don't get headaches, I'll give you -1.0 glasses" . On my second exam for lenses, I was told to buy -1.25.
Added (1). I'm buying my lenses from my optician, and they were out of -1.25 when I went to buy them. I'm using Air Optix.

Natural circle contact lenses?
So every time I buy circle lenses they never look natural, I really would love to get some that enlarge my eyes, but look natural and soft on the edge. My eyes are brown. If anyone has any links to any contact lenses that are natural (meaning people cannot tell you wear contacts) that would be great!

How did mammals come into being?
I'm curious as to how things like lactation warm bloodedness and giving birth to live young came about. I'm not very schooled in evolutionary biology so I'm a little ignorant of how any major change like that comes about. I've heard explanations for things like eyes like where they started as dark spots and then a lens came and stuff but how would a reptile just start lactating or become warm blooded?

Why is contact lenses solution I've used before burning my eyes?
I've been wearing contacts for four years. I always used OptiFree Pure Moist since it came out. Sometime last year I switched to BioTrue. It's cheaper and comes with a case. Never had any problems with it.
At my last eye exam earlier this month, my optometrist gave me a free sample of OptiFree Pure Moist. Since I was going out of town for a few days, I decided to leave the BioTrue home and use the Pure Moist.
My eyes burned when putting my contacts in today. I had put them in new yesterday. I had washed my hands before inserting them. Rinsed the lenses a few times with the solution.
Is it because my eyes are not used to the different solution now?

Colored Contacts Lens Help?
So i'm starting new hobbies and one of them includes colored contacts. I already have ordered a few pairs from reliable contact websites. But I have some questions, even though i already tried them on.
Do i have to get my eyes fitted before buying them to make sure i don't buy contacts that are too small for my eyes?
Also why do my eyes get really veiny after wearing the contacts for a while, is it because of lack of oxygen?
And going along if eyes should be fitted before buying contacts, one time a few months ago when i was wearing them, it popped a blood vessel in my eye, does that mean that they're not the right size for my eyes? (They were 14.0 mm)
Thanks~~

EMERGENCY CONTACT LENS HELP?!
I have contacts that are semi-monthly, they're supposed to last 15 days. I've been wearing these same brand contacts for almost a decade (Acuvue Oasys, I have an astigmatism in one eye as well) and JUST these past few months, I've been having CRAZY problems with them.
I've gone through four pairs of contact lenses just in these past two weeks. What has been happening is almost as soon as I start wearing them, they get dirty. Big, cloudy, filmy, foggy spots appear and I literally can't see at all except for the general shape of things.
I just walked down the street while they were acting up and I swear it felt like the most dangerous excursion of my life. I really need to fix this!
I've been following guidelines to a T, I clean them with solution given to me by my optometrist, rinse them with solution before putting them in the case (which I keep clean and switch out on a regular basis!), and NEVER wear them to sleep.
The best results I've gotten so far is the lenses maybe staying clean for a few hours before they start getting ridiculously dirty every five seconds again. After a few hours of cleanliness in the morning after they've sat overnight, they start to be dirty, I'll get them clean but as soon as I pop them back in my eye they're dirty again.
Please help!
Added (1). EDIT! The reason why I've gone through 4 pairs is because after a few days, they get to the point where they won't stay clean for longer than a few seconds, ever, and they'll actually HURT my eyes just to wear! That's when I have to pitch them.

Gray spots on contacts?
I have been wearing contacts for a long time, and I usually stick to acuvue but I try different ones like acuvue 2 vs acuvue advance etc. Usually there is no problems. I got a new box of contacts recently and I have gone through 5 different lenses because as soon as I put them in I get these gray specks over them and it irritates and blurs my vision. I read that it was protein deposits so I tried the clean clear cleaner with hydrogen peroxide and they are still there. I tried a new pair on today, I've been wearing them for less then 7 hours, take them off to check and there is another gray spot. What's going on? I don't have time to go to my eye doctor until next week so I'm really wondering why this is happening?!

Does anyone have any views on this?
Hi There
no matter how many times I have looked for an answer, I either get fobbed off or given gobbly **** answers, I am now 73 years old, since the age of five I have always had to wear glasses or contact lenses, It stopped me from starting a career in the police, and other jobs, after a career truck driving
I finished up bus driving, when I was 55, some new law came out saying all hgv/ bus drivers etc. Had
to pass an eyesight test with and without glasses, as my sight was poor I obviously failed the test and
was subsequently paid off, this gave me a pension of only £50 per month, and I have been in a bit of hardship since, anyway 3 years ago I had cateracts, I went to hospital to have them removed, the operations (which were not laser treatment) took about 30 mins, the result was instant, and I had
perfect vision, both long and short distance, which I had never had since a child, why could this be,
and why can this not have been done sooner, are people wearing glasses when this treatment can
cure them, let me stress again this was not laser treatment. Any ideas on this

What will my eye doctor most likely use to measure my PD? - 1
I recently went to my eye doctors. I got all my stuff and got my contact prescription and my lens prescription for glasses. I asked them if i could have my PD and they told me to ask the optician. I asked him and he refused stating "no cause you're not getting the glasses here" i smirked and said nothing. I'm ALREADY giving this business by buying CONTACTS AND A LENS EXAM AND CONTACT EXAM. They SHOULD give me my PD as it is a VERY simple measurement and necessary for me to get glasses ELSEWHERE.
I called them spoke to another lady there who was very nice and helped me and said the doctor would take it, but she wasn't sure how. I asked if he would be using that device where they hold it up to my face and measure my PD and is accurate, she said she "did not know". I don't want him holding a ruler to my face or something to just give me a number. I need an accurate measurement. Can i ask him to get the opticians PD measuring machine and measure it that way?
Added (1). I bought contacts there "barb" if you read it barb.
Added (2). Don't want to use a ruler as i stated multiple times. I read it's always better to have a machine do it. My prescription IS also pretty strong.

Can I wear eye glasses during track meets?
I just started my high school track team for the first time and I wear glasses because I cannot see (obviously). Will they make me take them off during track meets? I usually perform best when I can see so hopefully I won't have to? I'm trying to get contact lenses but it's just not the right time. So can I wear glasses during track meets or will I be penalized?

What should I do first to become an airline pilot?
I am lost as to what I want to do for a career. It's so hard to find a job that pays well too. Becoming a pilot is sort of this dream of mine in the back of my mind. I have some questions:
1. I'm 23 years old. Is it too late in my life to pursue this?
2. I have about 20/40 vision in each eye with corrective lenses. Is that vision even good enough?
3. Do you really need a college degree to be considered for a major airline? I have some college credits toward a BA in Psychology. Would I have to go back and finish my degree first?
4. The cost worries me. My current job pays only $10 an hour, and I live alone. How will I be able to support myself, college, and all the flight training on $10 an hour? I don't want to get into deep debt.
5. Do I have to join the military to be competitive? I don't really have a "military" type personality.
6. What is the job really like? Be very honest.
7. How feasible is this career path? I've heard of pilots making 250K and up. How long does it take to get to that point?

International student(Asian) had feeling to an white girl?
I'm an International student(Asian) currently studying in a community college. I had a feeling to a white girl in my Bio class. We were in the same class last semester and I had feeling to her that time but eventually I chicken out and didn't say anything to her. I sometimes sit close to her, there is a seat available between her and another girl but I didn't have the courage to sit on it.
I don't look so cool, I'm 6 feet tall and weigh like 210 pounds, wear thick glasses(thinking about doing LASIK to get rid of it). My verbal English is fine (above average as a International student,even got 4th place in a debate tournament). She is a helpful and hard studying girl, but not shy and quiet,she also works out. Wearing glasses, sometimes contact lens. I only found her on instagram but never saw any boyfriend on instagram.
here is my plan:
1 lose like 40 pounds in 3 months. Do LASIK to get rid of my glasses
2 try to sit close to her and talk with her before class, she was very talkative with another guy in the class last semester. But I don't where to start, maybe bring some Asian snacks to eat before class and share with her? (I really suck at flirting with girls I had feeling with)
3 I actually prepared a cough relief candy for her last semester since she sometimes coughs badly during class but I never got the courage to give it to her. I want to give it to her at the end of this semester and say things like "this one may looks pretty old, but It's like my feeling to you, had being back and forth for many times but inside its brand new and never changed."
The only thing I felt confident is money is not a big problem for me, gifts worth like $900 or more is not a big deal. I can also offer free trip if she can come with me to my country for vocation.
If she could be my girlfriend I can chose a college close to her to transfer after I graduate this summer.
Any idea on what else to give when I confront her?
Any ideas on how to flirt with her before or during class?
Any helpful ideas, any thoughts?

Storing contact lenses for long times?
I was thinking, I'v never owned contact lenses before and ordered my first pair the other day, I doubt I will use them everyday. If you steralise the vial it came in and bought a salt solution or something and put the contacts in after you have cleaned them and put the lid on and put in in the oven on a certin temperature to steralise everything in the vial would you be able to store them longer?

Two small lines on contact lens'? What are they?!
I just started wearing contacts last Friday. I've been putting them in taking them out fine but just yesterday that there were two small lines on both of the lens'. One line on one side and another directly across from it. Neither of them go straight across, touch the middle nor the outer part of the lens. I use my index finger and thumb to pinch them gently and take them out, I think thats the cause but I don't think they could be scratched so easily! My grandparents said it could be a bifocal but I'm not sure…I don't want any damage to come to my eye!

Contacts are always dry when I take them out?
I wear my contacts around eight hours a day. They are disposable and are meant to be worn for two weeks then thrown away. This is the first week I have ever worn them and I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
When I wear them, I don't notice them at all. They are fairly easy to take out, it takes a few tries but I can always get them, and I'm getting the hang of it. I usually take them out by sliding them down then pinching the contact.
When I take them off, I 'clean' them by rubbing in solution then rinsing with solution, then put them in the case with fresh solution.
When I put them on, all I do is scoop them out of the solution and put them on my eye, then dump the remaining solution and let the case air dry all day.
Anyway, when I take them out, it is slightly uncomfortable, because they 'stick' to my eye. It feels a bit dry and like they're suction cupped to my eye (even when I slide them down, there's a bit of suction) and it's a little bit hard to remove.
They are soft lenses and I think they're Acuvue. They are for astigmatism and farsighted prescription.
Is this normal?
(I'm going to ask my eye doctor about eye drops when I go for the follow up, but I don't fancy putting in eye drops every time I take out the contacts)

When I put them on, all I do is scoop them out of the solution and put them on my eye, then dump the remaining solution and let the case air dry all day.
Anyway, when I take them out, it is slightly uncomfortable, because they 'stick' to my eye. It feels a bit dry and like they're suction cupped to my eye (even when I slide them down, there's a bit of suction) and it's a little bit hard to remove.
They are soft lenses and I think they're Acuvue. They are for astigmatism and farsighted prescription.
Is this normal?
(I'm going to ask my eye doctor about eye drops when I go for the follow up, but I don't fancy putting in eye drops every time I take out the contacts)

How to know if I have astigmatism?
I went to the eye doctor when I was in about sixth grade. She prescribed glasses because she said I have astigmatism, but I didn't quite notice a huge difference, so I eventually stopped wearing them. The rest of my family didn't quite like their experience with that particular eye doctor, too, so they never thought much of them saying I have astigmatism. But I notice now that car lights seems really bright to me, and things are usually blurry on the edges. I can see the shape just fine, and I went to another doctor who said I have 20/15 vision, but things are still slightly blurred around the edges. My question is this: should I go to another doctor to see if I have astigmatism, and if I do, will I be able to get corrective lenses? Thanks a lot for reading, have a great day!

When will the upper caste hindus stop being a looser?
I never questioned the empirical nature of Buddhism and other Yogic methods like Kundalini.
I recognize the existence of it, I have been there to Vippasana centers several times myself.
Experienced it and totally worth it.
The measure issue India facing is Caste system ie Jati vyavastha and Vernashrama which are deeply rooted in Indian society. Forced Marriages, dowry Killing, violation of Human rights everywhere, feticide are just some of the symptoms.
When you look Hinduism from a Dalit's eyes ( 300 million + population ) , Hinduism looks Demonic
and when you look Hinduism from a Upper caste people's lens - Hinduism is just a another type of racism ( Blacks vs white - similar like that ), . So this system is nothing new.
What's missing is > the study of "mind science" originated in India like Buddhism.
But it Looks like Hindus fk it - I shouldn't say Hindu, Vedic people ( appropriate word ) don't look serious about it.
Its a shame that the information of such thing is available on English wiki but there is really nothing on Hindi wiki or other Indian language wiki- there are not even good books available ( empirical in nature - quackery is everywhere )
So eventually Indian society is trapped in
- caste biases I mean what the **** people. Eventually its just another type of racism like Blacks vs White there is nothing new. And upper caste people take pride in it, instead of solving it
- West is doing great work - for ex Vipppasana is now a "mindful meditation" in west - they have studied the whole stuff scientifically and now the "core" knowledge is available for everybody ( scientific ) , on the other hand there are thousands of fake Gurus are available in India gov doesn't care
- 2014, how can one become fisherman, blacksmith, prostitute by birth? Hindus are doing nothing about this topic, see I never blamed white people for purging Native American population. Human Rights violation is everywhere.
it looks like Upper caste Vedic people takes pride in their race ( which is really a childish thing ) and do nothing for the improvement of the society. I have already told you that I never blamed west for purging the native american population.
and from my perspective Upper caste Vedic are really childish people, they are doomed to dependancy and mimcry - can not do nothin,
at least identify problems
and answer this question like a true gentleman not like superstitious duck and stop playing that blame game you people look more childish to me.

Am i going to go blind?
Hi, im 16 years old and i was wondering if i will go uncorrectable/blind as i get older? I am EXTREMELY myopic, i have been wearing glasses since i was atleast 2. I now wear contacts with glasses. The contacts are -12 and the glasses are -4. I have to wear glasses and contacts together because if i just wore glasses the lenses would touch my face. And i have worn just contacts but the lwnses have to be made and are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. So i have atleast an eye sight of -16 non corrected. I correct to 20/30 almost perfect. But here are my questions; will i lose sight? Will i become "uncorrectable"? Im extremely curious.
