Steph, so sorry about the dentist, what a nightmare!! I couldn't imagine! I've had two crowns but both went as well as could be expected. I always take a Xanax (like Valium) before I have any big work done and ALWAYS get the gas!! I hope your next appt goes better!!
Panda gave you some good info on the eye dr thing. It does sound like GPC and its relatively commonly. It can be caused by an allergic reaction or just plain irratation. Like if you weren't cleaning your lenses well enough or were trying to wear each pair for too long before replacing it. What brand of cl's are you currently wearing and which solution were you using?
Night and Day lenses by Ciba are a newer silicone lens and are designed to allow more oxygen to your eye, which is why you can wear them for 30 days at a time! They are a good lens but not everyone can keep them in that long without giving their eyes a break for a night and they can be a bit pricey as I know you are on a budget. Accuvue makes a lens called Accuvue Advance with Hyrdoclear, its also a very good lens and is a bit cheaper.
Panda, just a note, there ARE contacts that you can get over -10.00 now!! I don't think the night and days go past that but they do make other brands that go higher if you ever get to that point!! If you need something for your astigmatism, ask the dr about the new Accuvie Advance with Hydroclear for Astigmatism!! You shouldn't sleep in them for 30 days straight but they are a great lens and we are having a lot of good success fitting them!
