whiteriver girl asked:


I have a damaged tear duct due to an injury. My vision problem has nothing to do with the injury. I wear the same proscription I did as a child.

TwinkaTee asked:


I posted a question about nystagmus and many people responded that it lead to poor vision. But, there is a person that I see (I don’t know this person) and they are able to run the steps, point out things at a distance and act perfectly normal. So, is this really nystagmus?

My friend gave me a Zen Vision W, but when I plug it in it doesn’t say on the screen that it is connected. It did once, but I didn’t have what I needed installed at the time, so when I restarted it wouldn’t connect again. Any suggestions? I have never been able to figure these out. Shoulda got an iPod.

rlc_60504 asked:


Where can I find more information about parallax in terms of human vision? I know that parallax is used by astronomers to determine distance of far off heavenly bodies from the earth. However, I also know that parallax is used to describe part of the human binocular vision process. I’d like citable sources (books, magazine articles, etc..) that have detailed information on parallax in terms of human vision. Also negative parallax, etc…

Dave44 asked:


I’m looking for stories of people who have had some refraction error and now do not. People who have had bad vision but now have good or at least better vision. This is of course without glasses, contacts, or any surgeries.

I am in charge of creating a vision and eye care booth at a health fair intended for college students living in residence halls. I am looking for any creative ideas to make it stand out and seem interesting. Any ideas of items to maybe give out in hand-out bags?

E Sanchez asked:


I don’t have insurance at my workplace so I am in need of dental work and vision pretty soon here. I’d like to beat it to the punch before it becomes an emergency if I could.
Can anyone point me to the right direction?

Ash K asked:


Gamma rays are the shortest and strongest waves of light. We can see visible light, a very short part of the spectrum. What if we could see gamma rays, what would it look like? Also, if you could see through objects with X-Ray vision (not sure if this is true) could you also do the same with gamma ray vision? And would the daily occurences of gamma ray bursts in the universe blind you by looking directly at them should they happen to be on your horizons, kind of like looking at the sun?

granni asked:

lyre5 asked:


I am searching to find the best possible health insurance that offers the lowest rates/charges, since I am fed up with my previous one that was too expensive and did not cover may of my visits. I need the insurance that covers medical, dental and vision and that it is for Miami-Dade county, Florida. Does anyone know? Thank you very much!
