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?
Castor oil
Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans. The name probably comes from its use as a replacement for castoreum.
Castor oil is a colourless to very pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor. Its boiling point is and its density is 961 kg/m. It is a triglyceride in which approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleates. Oleate and linoleates are the other significant components.
Castor oil and its derivatives are used in the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants,
portrayed by Charlie Sheen). Hammer chose glasses over contacts because contacts burned his eyes, and said: "I was like, 'OK, if I'm going to do glasses, I might as well do something different'. They kind of look like the Wild Thing, so I figured I might as well just go for it. I got teased last spring. I got called everything from Harry Potter to Professor, but it's kind of what I've been known for."
