I wear glasses for vision correction; I am far-sighted. I actually have two different pair depending on what I'm wearing.
I wear glasses too! I am near sighted though. Do you prefer glasses over contacts
I actually love contacts a little more but love the style that goes with glasses.  Also, contact lenses tend to dry my eyes out since I have an astigmatism and of course, since contact lenses come in direct contact with the surface of my eye.
Yeah, I have dry eyes also. I have astigmatism also, but never really knew what that meant.
I know...I never understood it either until my new eye doctor explained it better.  Your eye basically doesn't focus light evenly on the retina and so that causes problems. For dry eye, I avoid drops that make your eyes drier and put a drop of castor oil in every evening. Gooey but sooooo effective!
Never heard of that. I love natural remedies though. I sometimes have ocular migraines where I see flashing lights. I wonder if the astigmatism could cause that?
It really works well. Get the hexane-free stuff and dab a drop in both eyes every night for a month to 3 months, depending on how bad your dry eye is. It helps because its full of fatty acid chains called ricinoleates. I'm not sure about the migraines, that can be a touch one to decipher.
I will have to try that. I like my glasses, but if I could wear contacts that would be nice too.
