If you think it's though with glasses, you haven't had the bad luck with KC.

I worked in an optical store for a few years in university. I'm guessing the reference is to retinal detachment, in which your retina literally detaches from the underlying tissue or some such. We had exactly one case come through the store, luckily on a day when our optometrist was in and free for walk-in appointments. There was a (very) brief moment of panic in her expression as she immediately called for one of us to drive the patient directly to the emergency room as she simultaneously called ahead for an opthamologist to meet us there. Apparently the patient was dangerously close to being blind forever. Scary stuff.

That's about how I feel all the time. I used to be the opposite and never get anything checked out, until my roommate had some pretty absurd things happen to his toe. Now I'm constantly sure the world will kill me.

on the other end of the spectrum, i thought my eyes were perfect until i got my every-8-yearly checkup and was told i had an astigmatism. got me some glasses and found out that yes, my vision was in fact slightly screwy. i'd never have been able to tell without having used the glasses.

You may! Is this stretching your eyes by looking at a distance?

Yes and no. :) "Eye Yoga" simply has to do with a series of eye "stretches" like slowly circling the eyes both directions etc, until you feel a gentle stretch. Also things like making a point of blinking more often! I know there's a lot of back and forth about whether or not it works but it certainly makes sense that if you spend a lot of time staring at computer screens or paper without blinking, your eyes with dry out more easily putting greater strain on the eyes. I figure it's worth a try! Blinking. Making a point of closing your eyes and relaxing your face/eye muscles eye. If nothing else it feels lovely for poor tired eyes...

A few years back my eyesight started bothering me. I was driving along and I could not read the signs as far off as I normally did. I had it checked out and they said that my right eye had that. Right was 20/25, the left was 20/20. I used to be able to see 20/15. It suxx getting older. I would say that if I was guaranteed 20/10 or better, I would go with lasik.
Best suggestion to help with your problem w/o glasses = Bigger monitor (mine is 55" or 140cm)

I'm pretty fresh out of school, been working in the engineering field for about a year now. I started getting headaches from squinting at the monitors all day and I gotta say, getting larger monitors really does help. I have dual 24" monitors that are about 2' away from my face, But 55", that's ginormous! I know high school kids that wouldn't fit diagonally across that. How far away from that thing are you?

As for the "this is how my retina fell off", are you humoring us, or are you talking about keratoconus?
I only know of it's existense because my sister has to deal it with via sclaral RGP lenses.
For those who don't know what KC is, read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratoconus
If you think it's though with glasses, you haven't had the bad luck with KC.
