Ask an Ophthalmologist Questions Of Retina

This section provides answers to some of the more frequently asked questions about Ophthamology eye health and vision care.

Can waviness in vision be corrected with glasses?

While some types of waviness (like that caused by astigmatism) can be corrected with glasses, the waviness that you are experiencing is more likely related to some distortion of the retinal tissue. This type of waviness cannot be corrected with glasses.


Can I avoid removing my blind eye?

Forever is a very long time. A scleral shell, if comfortable, may be a good choice for years. Over time, if the eye shrinks or becomes uncomfortable there are procedures such as evisceration or enucleation that will allow you to wear a shell and retain movement. So, no need to be fearful of the future.
