Why do I get double/crossed vision when my eyes are relaxed?
Q. I have astigmatism and I hardly wear my glasses because my prescription is very mild but whenever I relax my eyes I get double vision as if I were physically crossing my eyes, but I am not. Also when I am having a converstion with someone and I am looking at them I feel like my eyes cross and then I have to look away and then come back to the person to regain my focus but then seconds later it happens again. Has anyone had this problem? Could not wearing my glasses eventhough the prescriptionis low be the cause of it?
A. This is unlikely to be anything to do with your current spectacles, worn or not worn, nor any small degree of astigmatism.
Only a proper examination could pick up all the possibilities, including the rare ones, but the most likely is that you have a significant amount of esophoria or exophoria.
That is, left to their own devices ,your eyes would be more comfortable slightly turned in (eso) or out (exo) but under most circumstances this does not happen, though maintaining alignment requires effort.
Almost everyone has this to some degree, if measured accurately enough, and if "fully compensated" such that it causes no fatigue, eyestrain or blurred or double vision it is of little or no significance, even if the swing on test is quite spectacular (it can be).
But if "uncompensated" keeping the eyes straight takes more effort than can comfortably be sustained, especally when tired, resulting in eyestrain or actual double vision.
The best treatment can be prisms incorporated in the spectacles, eye exercises, or surgery to re-align the eyes, depending on individual factors.

Has anyone here ever had a senior dog require surgery?
Q. I have an 11 year old Rottweiler and she needs surgery to remove a tumor on her leg. Of course at her age I'm a bit nervous, but would never cancel the surgery because the vet says it may be cancerous.
Has anyone here ever had a senior dog who needed surgery? What was it for? How did your dog do afterwords?
Just would like to hear other peoples stories to ease my mind, thanks.

A. I have not experienced this with my own pet, but I have with other peoples pets...
When an older pet requires surgery we would always make sure we did bloodwork and other preliminary tests to make sure the dog can handle anesthesia.
Then during the procedure, we make sure we use drugs that are a bit safer with our older pets. Of course there is always a risk, but we always took special care of our senior patients!
-The vet will use whatever they feel is the safest to use on your pet. There are many different ways to put an animal under anesthesia, so let your vet decide because they know your pet, we do not. There is no way to tell how long the procedure will take, as I said before you never know until you get in there! (surgically I mean). Of course the vet will only take as long as necessary, as the quicker the better! Almosts all vets (unless they are old and ancient) have monitoring devices to monitor your pets blood pressure, heart rate, O2 levels, temp, etc. Dont worry about that.
Most Vets will give pain meds/anti inflammatory combo drugs to keep your pup comfortable. And as far as those E-Collars go, just keep an eye out. Most pets do not need them. The vet will watch your pet, and if she needs one they will send you home with one.
Sometimes older pups can take a little longer to recover...metabolism slows with age, so they metabolise the drugs/anesthetic slower, and can be a little sore for a little longer...but usually after a few days they are back to being themselves!
I have seen some pretty old pups go through surgery and do terrific! If your pup is healthy and the vet thinks surgery will be okay, then I am sure things will go just fine. Tumor/Mass Removals are fairly common procedures. Of course you never know until you get in there, but usually they are pretty non-invasive and the dog heals well.
Just remember you are doing whats best for your pet, and she will be in good hands.
I have a rottie too...they are such special dogs! Good Luck, and I hope things go well!
ADD: I do not think you would be throwing your money away. Old age is not a disease, and if your pup is healthy otherwise, and just needs a tumor removed, then its worth it to make sure your dog has a good quality of life. I would never not have a somewhat routine surgery done on my pet and just let it suffer if it could be fixed, and my dog could live out the rest of his days happily...(as long as it was not a radical procedure that would be insane to perform on an older pet)
NOTE: Aphrodite...LMAO you are so right about that- Infinately Stupider...haha- It already caught on for me!

Glaucoma: The doctor mentioned something about putting pressure behind their eyes to see if they have it?
Q. Both of my parents need to be tested for glaucoma. If what I heard was right, they're going to put pressure behind their eyes.
What is this, what happens, and what will it tell the doctor?
What is this, what happens, and what will it tell the doctor?
A. Usually the doctor will put eye drops in both eyes to numb them a bit, then the doctor lightly touches the eye with a device that safely tells the intraocular (or inside the eye) pressure. Or the "puff test" can be used where a puff of pressurized air is blown into the eye to check the pressure.
If the pressure is too high then this could be a sign of glaucoma. Looking at the optic nerve in the back of the eye (this is done after dilating the pupils) can help to confirm whether a person is suffering from glaucoma. Glaucoma is a very treatable disease (usually eye drops, sometimes surgery) but it must be detected because their are no pain or vision symptoms until it is quite advanced and the damage is done by that point.

Eye color from brown to green with lasers?
Q. Seen on google a laser surgery that can change your eye color by stripping it to the base. It said from brown to blue.. Im light skinned black dude.. Blue eyes wouldn't look right? Can it make my eyes green? And Does this still exist? If so what are the side effects?
A. The one where you peel the iris is illegal, banned, you can't get it. It was so unbelievably dangerous. The side effects are blindness and other things that will ruin your life forever.
So is your situation like this?
So you were born with a set of brown eyes, hated them, and now you�re wondering how to change your eye color. And lucky for you, there are both temporary and permanent ways of achieving a new eye tint. Some are fairly affordable as far as eye care goes, and some are�a little less reasonably priced, but in any case, there�s something for everyone and for every taste.
In order to start down the path of changing your eye color, you�ll need the following things:
The internet. Well, people need this for a lot of other things, but in order to do research or some shopping, you�ll need access to the World Wide Web.
An optometrist. Some methods of adjusting the color of the eyes must be done professionally or with a prescription. Aside from getting permission from your doctor to receive the desired treatment, he or she can also explain your options to you so you can find the best choice for yourself.
Now that you know what the very basic essentials are, let�s look at the techniques currently available for tweaking those irises:
Colored contact lenses. One of the most common methods of altering the color of your iris (that�s the colored part of the eye, for the lay people) is using dyed contact lenses. These can be found in natural colors, such as blue and green, or in unnatural colors, like red or yellow. Some vendors of special effects contacts even offer lenses with designs painted on them, or sclera contacts (which cover the entire visible area of the eye) for a more profound and aberrant appearance.
Cosmetic surgery. Here�s a neat little fact: you can have your eye color surgically adjusted. There is a relatively new item called the NewColorIris available; it�s a tiny implant that is surgically placed in the eye and comes in hazel, blue and green. The advocates of this implant and the subsequent procedure claim it�s actually safer to change your eye color with this cosmetic device than to modify it with contact lenses. This is quite the amusing assertion, considering several people have reported �serious complications� and permanent damage resulting from getting the NewColorIris implant. Verdict? Insert at your own risk.
Everyday things. Age and exposure to light can change your eye color slightly over time as well, but you really shouldn�t go outside and fry your eyeballs in the sun like eggs to change eye color; doing so could lead to permanent vision loss.
Tattooing. If you�re not squeamish about needles, why not get an ocular tattoo? Yes, you heard that right�ocular tattoo. You can actually change your eye color by having pigment injected and blended into the irises � or even the scleras, for that matter. Aside from risks and costs associated with such delicate surgery, you�d best hope your surgeon isn�t drunk or an unmedicated epileptic if you want to amend your eye color via injection.
Desiring a new eye color isn�t bad or rare � many people, in fact, may yearn to trade in their pair of copper pennies for a set of polished emeralds. And others may want solid-black vision-obscuring sclera lenses to scare the daylights out of everyone. As mentioned before, your best bet for a new eye color is contact lenses. It�s your vision on the line, and contacts are the only method that fulfills the criteria of both safety and affordability.
These lenses can be prescription or non-prescription and come in as wide a variety of prices as they do tints; colored lenses can be anywhere from $15 to $600 (sclera contacts tend to be the most expensive). Regardless of which method you prefer, be aware that any body-altering procedure or item comes with some risks. It�s up to you to decide whether or not the pros outweigh the cons�not just for changing your eye color, but for any form of body modification.
