I'm always abused for being ugly in the street and on public tranpsort?

Yesterday I had a ugly man come up and look under my umbrella and peer at me closely, I just looked at him nuetrally because I know they're all psychos. He was hideously tall, dressed in ugly clothing, just disgusting looking. He did a small smile and walked away, i did a small smile, I hated him but didn't let him know. I had a man on a train make his pen** go up and down like my little brother did once as a child, it was tiny, like a child, out of his pants, no one else did anything, then he came up really close to me and looked into my eyes. I just looked neutral at him, another ugly psycho, disgusting contact lens eyes, amber eyes, he went away. I'm sick of being abused as ugly. I had an ugly man in a hideous shiny suit walk towards me sneering, he was fingering money in his wallet, he was hideously tall, very ugly, his suit looked cheap, just disgusting to me, I did nothing, because they're all violent psychos, I have travelled the world and never been abused, the men in my city are just disgusting, they dress in rags, I worked all my life, 14 years, they attacked me at work, I have to go back, they are all trash to me. I have never had a date. Australian men are such losers. I lived in London they are not loosers there. I lost my looks I suppose, they attack me because I lost my looks, they're just disgusting, men, vile pigs, all of them.

Prescription increased by a lot in both eyes what lenses do I need?

My eyes went from -1.00 and -1.25 to -2.25 and -2.75. Not sure what type of lenses I need. Should I get plastic or this new type called polycarbonate?

The assistant at the optical store said I need the polycarbonate because of how bad my eyes are but they're more expensive so I wanted a second opinion.

Also, are my eyes really a lot worse? Is this legally blind?

Does this picture (of corneal neovasc) look real? Should I go for an unscheduled checkup?

1. I was under the impression that neovascularization is mostly unrecognizable by contact lens wearers (hence the need for routine yearly followup with a professional eye care practitioner), This image (NOT mine) has such thick blood vessels, it's impossible for the patient not to see these himself: https://goo.gl/nSNKQv

2. I have some blood vessels, and they are just touching the exterior circumference of the cornea, but have not crept inside the cornea, at least it doesn't look like they've crept in, they're just touching the exterior circumference. Last time this happened, I checked with you guys and a professional eye care practitioner here advised this is normal. I saw my doc anyway (I'm too scared in eye related matters) and he too said this is not a problem and I can continue lens use. And then eventually they faded away on their own. Now they have appeared again, and I'm scared- more so because I'm NOT using silicone lenses as they are invariably uncomfortable to me. I wear them 10 to 12 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. They are monthly replaceable.

Here are two pictures of my eyes, if you increase your computer's brightness to moderate levels, you should be able to see the blood vessels:

PS: Can you suggest some tips on how to prevent these weird ugly blood vessels from showing up? They appear from time to time and disappear on their own. Not using contact lenses for a few days seems to calm them down.

What diopter counts do I put in when ordering contacts online that aren t specified for astigmatism?

Hi, i recently got my eyes checked for prescription contact lenses because I wanted to purchase some coloured contacts online from the sites ttdeye/solotica. I found out I have astigmatism in both eyes and I'm not sure how to go about entering my diopter counts when ordering on the website because my optometrist said my vision would be blurry without the astigmatism.

My prescription is as follows:

OD:
-BC: 8.50
-Power: -2.00-1.75x170

OS:
-BC: 8.50
-Power: -1.25-2.25x170

I'm also not sure what each number means. If you go on ttdeye s website, you can see that you can enter diopter counts for lenses with prescriptions but I'm not sure if only inputting OS:-.200 and OD:-1.25 would be the wrong prescription, and I have a feeling it might be. Any help to calculate what diopters I should input would be appreciated!

I ordered contacts with the wrong base curve. Will they harm my eyes?

I ordered contacts online and I accidentally bought the ones with the wrong base curve. I normally wear lenses with an 8.4 BC, and the ones I got have an 8.8 BC. What will be the effect of me wearing the lenses of the wrong size? Will they damage my eyes?

Can't get a pair of glasses prescribed that allow me to see as clear as I should

Hi,

So about the last 3 times I've had an eye exam done, my glasses haven't been as clear as they should be. This is apparent because if I tilt my glasses arms upwards, my vision becomes clearer… Same result if I tilt my head back and look through the bottom of the lenses.

I even tried a diffrent optician last time. Same result. Very clear vision during the test (20/15 vision) but disappointing with my glasses. It's not bad or very unclear, but definitely less sharp than it should be. If I tilt my glasses, my vision becomes noticeably clearer, especially at long distances. I did tell this to my optician and he said the prescription is fine. I said it may be fine during the exam, but it's not with my actual glasses. I ask why it becomes clearer with tilting, and he just said 'but we don't look like that'. Obviously we don't, but if my glasses were right, my vision wouldn't be clearer with tilting. It's like they are always weaker than they should be. It's very frustrating because I know I can obviously see clearer than I'm, but none of my prescribed glasses seem to allow me to.

Any advice?

Thanks

What causes glaucoma? Am I at risk?

My dad's just been diagnosed with glaucoma, and prescribed eye drops and multivitamins.
I have high myopia (-5.50), but the doc, after a thorough checkup, said there's no risk of glaucoma yet.
Google suggests glaucoma runs in families, but none of my grandparents have the condition.
Am I at risk of developing glaucoma in future? Is there something I can do to prevent the onset? I use contact lenses, should I stop using them? Please suggest.

I went to a eye doctor and I know and they know. One eye is far sighted and the other eye is near sighted

I was told I just need reading glasses +1.25. But shouldn't one lens be stronger while the other is less?

Will using artificial tears regularly, reduce the eye's ability to produce natural tears?

I don't have dry eyes but i use refresh tears every day while using contact lenses, because i like the cold moist feeling of the drops. This friend of mine told me doing so will make the eyes dependent on artificial tears and reduce the eye's ability to create normal tears- sort of like what happens if a person uses sleeping pills excessively, the body loses its ability to sleep naturally and after a while the person must take the pills to fall asleep.

Is this true? Should I stop using refresh tears?

Contact lens prescription change? - 2

I went to the eye doctor yesterday and had a change in my prescription. They've been the same for both eyes. My prescription for the past 2 or 3 years was BC 8.7 DIA 14.5 PWR -4.75 CYL -1.75 AX 180. My new prescription went to PWR -4.50 and cylinder -2.25. They gave me the trial lenses and I'm pretty sure the girl said they didn't have the brand of contacts I normally wear in my new prescription but they had another brand so I'm wearing that new brand for the trial lenses. I'm going to try to describe how I'm seeing blurrry with this new prescription. I know I'm pretty nearsighted but the distance from my bed and the cable box isn't very far and the digital time that shows up on the box looks blurry to me. I put on my old contacts and it look clear. Road signs from afar look blurry now; before the lettering itself was clear and it would just take getting closer to be able to actually read it. Everything close by like reading a book or reading the guide on the TV is fine. I know the reason they changed the Cyl number is because of my astigmatism… I have trouble with lights at night, like seeing bursts around them and she said it was probably my astigmatism changing. I have noticed a slight decrease in the bursts around lights at night with the new prescription but since the Sph went down to -4.50 I wonder if that's why some things look a little blurry. Does the Sph number have to go down since they increased my Cyl number?
