Anyway, I'm sure kids don't pickup on this kind of thing until several years later.

Have you thought about opening a store called iDoctor?

I have full coverage, which is nice.

Oh, I was wondering if you know anything about eye lid twitching. It is so freaking annoying. I wish it would stop.

Thomas: No reason not to get those things checked then!

Eyelid twitching can he caused by quite a few things. Most common are:

- Stress
- Smoking
- Caffeine
- Eye infections (get em checked)

AAwwwwww (is that blush icon?)

Thanks, that made my day. I should remake it for some newer platform. Which reminds me, I was thinking of doing some development for iphone/ipad. Any ideas on optom related stuff people would be interested in?

Thomas: If it means anything, it happens to me too. Quite annoying when I'm concentrating on something (e.g. dota).

HMM it seems to have miss quoted jhuuskon instead of me.

I don't have eye insurance. things are very costly over here.
I a more do it my self type of guy.
Plus i have adjusted my eyeball lens before.
I woke up one morning and felt something new the corners of my eyes.
When I went to the bath room a saw that my lens was miss place.

I put it back in place myself a regular person would probably run to the hospital to pay some huge bill for some thing so simple.

I know some cases of strabismus that have been cured only halfway. In the 70's they used to make children wear glasses with the active eye covered so the lazy eye would get practice. When the eyes started to align, all treatment stopped and they obviously thought it was fine by that. But some kind of 3D training was missing. My wife has rather poor 3D vision and her lazy eye is still weaker, though the visual strabismus isn't there anymore.

Among my pupils some suffer from strabismus and I find it strange that they don't treat it, knowing how untreated strabismus completely destroys the 3D vision.

He once dreamed about picking accidentally up a transsexual.

I'm bored. So I may as well help out a great community who I owe a lot to. I'm a bank account adviser. Ask me anything you want to know about your bank accounts, be sure to give your information as clearly as possible!

J/K, I have a normal question. I'm just 16 years old, but so far I've never had troubles with my eyes. I can see things from really far away distances, as well as closely, and so, I was never told to use glasses or lens. Which kind of surprises me, considering I spend a lot of time in front of the monitor, and I'm mostly used to CRT monitors.

All of the people in my family use glasses, with the exception of my brother(24). Should I expect to become a blind sighted bull in need of glasses when I pass my 20s?

Dario: 16 is still young and it is not uncommon to need specs in the teenage years or early adulthood. I wouldn't worry about it though but keep getting checked just to make sure.

Piccolo: is the flexible thing a part of your eye or something artificial?

Let's say you were on Mars, and you just released a huge amount of oxygen into the air from this big mountain... In the process of doing that you flew out onto the Martian surface, but the oxygen had not spread yet. Would your eyes bug out of your head like in the picture above, and would they go back to normal once the oxygen from the mountain spread to the whole planet?

I saw the advice above to wear sunglasses to help protect your eyes, but cheap sunglasses can actually harm your eyes. They will reduce the amount of visible light transmitted (otherwise no one would buy them) so the pupils of the eye will open up, but the sunglasses don't reduce ultraviolet light transmitted through the lens. You could get cataracts as a result.

So just wear your cheap sunglasses at night to check out the chicks without being too obvious.

And concerning Johan Halmén's bug-eyed lady...

Advance warning, this is disgusting

I don't know the details in such training, but I do know training is needed. I guess they give a paper with the excercises explained to the parents and that's it. When the parents see that both eyes are aligned, they're fine with that.
