Two week ago, I went in for my yearly routine eye exam. My regular doctor told me she wanted me to see the retina specialist because — the new treatment theory is that anyone who has a -6.0 or higher correction is at risk for a retinal tear and they want to find any trouble early and laser it to prevent more severe degradation in the future — and she wanted to get a baseline for me, even though she didn’t see anything that concerned her.
I consider myself a true contact lens aficionado. I’ve been wearing contacts for over 30 years. I go way back to the days of those irascible, eye-scratching “hard lenses” you had to “squint” out of your eye at night like a tiddledywink. Cleaning them by plugging them into a wall socket for overnight sterilization was a hassle. The later weekly cleaning regimen with little, dissolvable, pills was a nightmare to manage when you really couldn’t see anything without your contacts.
We all see with a preferred eye. Our dominant eye focuses on an object and our other eye provides the necessary angle to give us the perception of depth.
