Non-Stop Headaches and eye aches

I have not been to the eye Dr. in years. I should go but I don't want to. I've never heard of a Optomap. Sounds strange.

I started having that done about four years ago. And i must say that it is so much better that the things that they used to do. (I HATE that air in my eye).

Hi, GrandpaBob!

It's good that you didn't take for granted what your head is telling you. I'm not familiar with Optimap or Optomap. That's a cool technology though, being able to see a 320 degree view of the retina.

I haven't been to an optometrist to have my eyes check. I only go there to accompany my boyfriend. Unfortunately he has a Retinitis Pigmentosa and was just named only like 10 years ago. His grandmother noticed it when he was only 10 months, and he's been wearing glasses since then. Not only glasses, but thick ones. Right now, even if he's wearing what they call the "ultra thin glass", you can still notice how thick it is. I think the other one's grade is 750 and the other 700, more or less.

His eyesight is deteriorating by the day and there's no cure for it. He's taking some medicines and vitamins to help prolong his vision. But time can only tell.

I think I have a 20/20 vision. As far as I can remember, it was checked like 8 years ago during medical examination requirement for a job. If only I can give my eyes to him, I will.^^v

Hi Grandpa Bob...I also been having a lot of headaches the last two weeks,but I think mine are sinus headaches. I been at the eye doctor this summer and he told me my eyes have not changed that much from 2 years ago. I do wear glasses only when I drive and watch tv.
I bet you cant wait untill you get your new glasses than you can watch tv and see whats going on.

That Optimap sounds wonderful!! Do you still have the read that stupid eye chart? That's the part I hate, choosing between view A and view B so he can write the prescription. Hope your eyes feel better soon!

I hope you get better. Happy posting, too!

hi grandpa bob..
glad to know your headache + eye-ache is just because you needed to change glasses..
i am short-sighted and i need glasses to see thing that 'far' from me..
but i am worried because i think my eyesight is getting worse..
yesterday, i took off my glasses and i cant clearly see my baby's face who was standing only about six feet away from me..sooo sad....

hello Grandpa Bob,
at times i feel my head aches so much and i think it has a connection with my eyes. i havent been to the eye doctor, though i should have coz it might get worse...
i do hope they also have this Optimap...

Hey grandpa bob! That is really interesting! I sure with my
eyes would get better! But everytime I go to get my eyes
checked they are much worse! I can't see close or far. I have
not had my eyes checked for awhile now so I am past due for
my eye exam. I really should be going because I think it's
been at least 2 years now. I will make an appointment and see
it I can get that Optimap test done too. It sounds great. Since
my vision has gotten progressively worse each time I go it
might be interesting to see what they find out this time.
I really need to make my appointment before the year ends. I
think I'll make the call tomorrow!

I just went to the eye doc last week and I got new glasses. They don't have a machine like the Optomap, but I wish they did. I hate when they keep switching those lenses and asking which looks better. My eyelashes kept getting caught, and that didn't feel too good. I got my new glasses already,and they are really comfortable. I think I might get laser surgery someday so I won't have to wear glasses, but If do, I'll need reading glasses, and as it is now, I can read without glasses, I just need them to see far away.
