Of course, it is also a choice as to who is your friend. If your friend
doesn't listen to you, breaks your fine china and endangers people by
driving when they can't see...

What do you consider to be **full time**

"All waking hours" is a typical description.

What reasons would make you insist on it for some who is -2.5

I can't think of any and I never insist on full time wear, except where kids
are likely to lose them or you work in a chemistry lab or there's some other
common-sense reason.

Although they don't work well when bathing, since they fog up. I
always wore them swimming, so I could check out the girls.

Dear Dan Abel,

Now I see why you have retinal detachment.

Well, I would think that a .25 cyl doesn't qualify as a significant
refractive error any more than a single sneeze qualifies as an upper
respiratory infection. But a -2.00 cyl certainly is an ICD 367.21 and
can cause a lot of suffering for the patient..


Not what I asked. Do you consider ametropia a disease (no matter what
degree) and do you tell your your patients that they are suffering
a disease? I'm not trying to be confrontational here but curious.
Wouldn't
that mean that refracting opticians are diagnosing and treating
eye disease?

A -2.00 uncorrected cyl can cause some asthenopia but I don't
consider that "suffering"- I've had patients in the past that have
been asymptomatic with this amount as well.

Happy new years!
