Latest eye problem

I have had a few cases where my right eye has had like a water wave in it and lasts for 15 minutes. This eye has also pulled skew that I had two visions. I had to close this eye for a few minute for it to come right again so I could focus. What is the cause of this?

Self-vision-correction

I am bi-focal, my vision has corrected itself. I can see very clear without glasses or lenses. Why is this happening? It is scary!

Nausea and vomiting

When I lay underneath a car to work on it, I get very nauseated and sometimes throw up. My eye doctor said I am too close to the car and wearing 3.50 readers would help. Not much help. Laying in bed makes no difference. I am 50.

What is this in my eye...

I've just started seeing this white line out of the corner of my eye. At first I thought it was a hair, with the sun shining on it. I see it on the outside corner of my eye. It comes and goes. And for some reason, does it mainly when i'm driving. It's not white spots or floaters, i've had those. This is comepletly different. It last a second or two and they'll happen every minute for about five minutes then it stops for a bit, but it starts back and does the same thing all over again. This just started two days ago and it's driving me crazy! Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know what it might be?

I had surgery for a torn retina in July 2010, and have been seeing the surgeon ever since. This past weekend, I had a long battle with vomiting & now my vision seems to be a little more blurred than usual. Do you think the strain of all that vomiting had anything to do with hurting the eye enough to cause vision diminishing?

Is my new prescription wrong?

I've been wearing my old computer glasses for 4 years. They have been getting gradually a little blurry, so I went and had a new eye exam. I think the new prescription is wrong because my vision is now worse with the new glasses. I had the glasses checked by the optician and the optometrist. They both said the glasses matched the prescription. My optometrist told me that I think too much and to wear the glasses for a couple of weeks to get used to them. I can't see my computer clearly enough to work comfortably, so I went back to the old glasses. Here are the two prescriptions: Old: Sphere Cylinder Axis OD -2.50 - - OS -2.75 - - New: Sphere Cylinder Axis OD -1.75 -0.50 100 OS -2.75 -0.50 105 If my vision is getting blurry such that I have to move closer to the computer to see clearly, shouldn't that be indicative of needing a stronger prescription? The new prescription seems to be weaker than my old one. Am I thinking too much?

Multiple Eye Difficulties

In addition to becoming very myopic at 7 years old, I developed Glaucoma at 27. Then due to head surgery, I now also have a corneal abrasion and extreme dry eye which is very painful, and makes taking my eye drops difficult, as well as my eye sight having gotten worse.
