I just went to the optomatrist and got a prescription for glasses a couple of weeks ago. My eyes are still blurry. I can't look at something for very long without everything going fuzzy even when i'm wearing glasses. Does anyone know what could be wrong with me?

Answer:

My mom always goes through this same visit to the optomatrist. She gets new glasses and can't see out of them because they didn't get the correct prescription. It can take a couple of weeks for your eyes to adjust to the new prescription strength or glasses, but if it is still blurry go into the eye doctor and tell him you need something adjusted. Don't worry, they are used to this problem, and most will correct the prescription for free or a small fee.

As a fellow glasses-wearer, your eyes may not be well adjusted to the prescription...your eyes may be progressively getting worse so you may want to visit the ophthalmologist again to determine why your vision has changed so dramatically...good luck!

DIABETES--DEFINITION

Diabetes mellitus is impaired insulin secretion by the pancreas and variable degrees of peripheral insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Early symptoms are related to hyperglycemia and include polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyphagia (excessive hunger and abnormally large intake of solids by mouth), and polyuria (excessive urination). Later complications include vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, and predisposition to infection. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma glucose (blood sugar). Treatment is diet, exercise, and drugs that reduce glucose levels, including insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs. Prognosis varies with degree of glucose control.
