@green-aholic

See an ophthalmologist first. That's what you should do. Nothing else.

i need to have my eye's checked na kasi pag malayo, i find it medyo difficult to read na, medyo blurry na sya. pero pag malapit naman eh OK. what's wrong kaya? ayoko pa naman mag-glasses or contacts coz parang hassle. Haaaay... i'll find out prolly next week.

Problem ko naman this time sa eyes ko masakit yung talukap(?) parang namaga yung ugat pag pipikit ako halata sila.tapos pag pinipindot ko masakit sya.siguro dahil sa puyat at pagcocomputer.. minsan nawawala din minsan andyan nanaman.

@u8mypinkcookies

chances are, you're developing "nearsightedness". That's why yung malapit clear, yung palayo malabo.

Baliktad naman ako, sis... Kelangan ilayo ko ng konti para mabasa ko.

Anyway, Nagpa check ako. I will need reading glasses eventually. In a year's time pa daw kasi as of now, masyadong mababa pa daw yung grade. Walang nabibili na ready made glasses, pero pwede ako magpa sadya... Dunno nga what to do eh. Mag antay or "agapan"? Di ko rin sure kasi kung mako correct pa.

@twelve5

That's called "presbyopia". It due to the aging process...so there's no REAL escape. have glasses made na. There's no point in tiring your eyes needlessly. If you don't want glasses, there are other ways which can "turn back the hands of time" for a while.

[twelve5]

Hi doc! 50 lang daw kasi yung grade ko. Tapos yung frame na gusto ko almost 10k. Kaya ayoko magpa custom made. Haha!... Sige, I'll have my glasses made this month, kasi nga as you said, no real escape... Lola na ako.   

May i know what are those other ways? Di naman siguro secret yun? 

Thanks, doc!

@twelve5

Mababa lang nga. There's Lasik ( or other laser refractive procedures ), monovision contact lenses, multifocal contact lenses, multifocal lens exchange,etc.

[k_heart]

Hay, eto yung project ko this year,magpa LASIK eye surgery. i want to stop using contacts and glasses na kasi.

[m_lim]

my eyes are always dry. bakit ganito? ang sakit.

thanks! i googled nga to read more about it. hopefully i can see my eye doctor tomorrow.

[k_heart]

Thanks Doc Richie! Super helpful yung sinend mo na info! : )

[Dr.Richie]

@k_heart

You are most welcome! The others kasi, puro "pa-PM" tapos wala namang response if na-receive nila or hindi. Thank YOU!

[u8mypinkcookies]

i had it checked na. nearsightedness nga daw sabi ng doc and recommended na i wear glasses. mataas ba yung 100 na grado? ayun, i'll pick up my glasses next week. haaay... dapat ba i wear it lagi? Or di naman kelangan since malinaw naman pag malapit? May nabasa rin ako na yung mga nirecommend mag-glasses and lagi nila sinuot, bumaba yung grado nila...true ba yun?

i dunno nga if mahal yung frame and lens na pinagawa namin sa kanya. parang nasa 2k+ yung frame (Tag Heuer nakita kong brand, di naman ata original? hehe, i dunno e!) then nasa 1k+ yung lens. Cannot remember na the exact amount. What do you think guys? or ganun talaga presyo ng mga glasses?

Sorry newbie sa glasses. Thanks!

Hi GTers, sino po sa inyo naka-try na gumamit ng Tobradex? Ako 2nd time ko na gamitin and may parang nalasahan akong bitter na gamot which is weird, hindi naman tumulo sa bibig ko yung solution, sa affected eye ko lang naman ako nagpatak.

Also, when a foreign object that is stuck in the upper eyelid na hindi makita sa mirror pero feel ko parang ginagasgas yung mata ko, I think I'll have it checked to the eye doctor kasi ang kati na eh. May ganito ba kayong case? Kwento naman kayo...

[u8mypinkcookies]

got my glasses na the other day. so far, okay naman kahit nakakapanibago.. pero not as bad as I expected. since i'm home the past days (while wala pa work), i try to use it lagi para masanay but my doc told me okay naman if not laging suot. mahirap lang din for me kasi if sasanayin ko palang sarili ko pag lumalabas na ko. pero ayoko rin naman suot lagi, hehe... nahihirapan lang ako if malayo nga (nearsighted daw ako), medyo blurry kaya i needed glasses. siguro if malapit naman & nakikita ko, pwedeng di ko naman isuot

okay lang yun, Dr. Richie?

my optha recommended me to use tobradex drops nung nagka-sty ako. same experience, parang may bitter taste nga pero dinedma ko na lang. hehe. wala namang nangyari sa kin.
