  • is that an elephants diaphram?

    

  • So that's where my horses contact lense went lol ( you know the pic where he's holding that giant contact and u can click)

  • thanks! Great explanation.

  • Please understand that my comment that I just posted was in answer to "lindenmark3" not Dr. Schneider, who explained this rather well I'd say.

  • I'm afraid that you're incorrect with your statement that the cornea doesn't have any "relation to the astigmatism." Although there are other contributing factors (lens, vitreous, retinal cells at the macula, not to mention the incident rays of light striking these "media"), the corneal curves provide the greatest amount of "refractive power" to the eye and if it is not "spherical" (we call that now "toric"), the result is ASTIGMATISM. Perhaps this is a language issue for you.

  • @albino65 its not cool... got 2.25 on both eyes and im about to lose it -.- soon ill pull my eyes out they are of no good...

  • @lindenmark3

    You are not correct guy, the cornea do not have any relation to the astigmatism!

    Look to my profile and you will see what is an astigmatism! It is in Russia but I suppose avrything is understand.

  • this guy looks like the one dude from forgetting sarah marshall...

  • thats a really big contact lense. o.o

  • @yourAdope1 That may be caused by too much stress on the eyes. How many hours do you spend in front of computer? When you staring into a screen to tend to focus too much, you blink rarely and that makes your eye to dry out. They become tired and you seeing is blurry.
