| | COMS - About Choroidal Melanoma |
| | Your eye doctors are able to recognize a choroidal melanoma by the degree of pigmentation of the tumor, by its shape and location, and by other features observed in an eye examination. | | | Treatment of choroidal melanoma is recommended when your doctors judge that, on the basis of your medical history and the findings from the eye examination, your tumor is likely to enlarge and possibly spread to other parts of your body if left untreated. | | | The patient keeps his or her own eye and, in favorable circumstances, when the tumor responds well and is located away from the most important parts of the eye, the tumor is destroyed and the patient may be able to see with the eye. |

| | First Aid |
| | Generally speaking, first aid for all eye injuries (other than the removal of small foreign bodies) should be followed up by expert examination of the eyes. | | | The eyes become puffy, painful, and water profusely. | | | Bathe the eyes frequently with Euphrasia solution (10 drops of mother tincture to 0.25 litre [1/2 pint] boiled cold water), cover the eyes with sterile pads, and seek expert medical help. |

| | The condition usually presents with a red, painful eye with discharge, and perhaps poor or reduced vision. | | | The condition usually presents with gradual worsening of vision while wearing contact lenses, need for frequent lens power changes, and in some cases, an irritated, red eye. | | | Tight contact lens syndrome can often be diagnosed by the ophthalmologist with the pertinent history and examination, the latter of which shows a contact lens that scarcely moves on the cornea with blinking. |

| | As an examination of their biology reveals, both eyes perform impressive feats of imaging, but with very different eye structures, that yield very different biological results. | | | Secondly, the cephalopod eye, like other invertebrate eyes, develops as an invagination, or in-pocketing, of the skin. | | | The secondary eyes are simple ocelli, which can sense movement and changes in light. |

| | Lazy Eye |
| | During a routine eye examination, your optometrist will not see any signs of a problem other than the fact that the lazy eye will not see clearly with a glasses prescription. | | | If the lazy eye is detected after the age of 7-8 years, then nothing can be done to improve the vision in the affected eye because the visual system will have become set for life already. | | | If nothing is done to correct the lazy eye before the age of 7-8 years, then the visual system will be set for life and it cannot be changed with any treatment. |

| | Parents are advised to take their children for a comprehensive eye examination before the age of four. | | | Some optometrists in the United States, Europe and Australia practice a form of "physical therapy" for the eyes and brain called "vision therapy" or "vision training." Vision therapy consists of a program of exercises which improve vision by systematically training the entire visual system (which includes eyes, brain, mind and body). | | | Stereo viewing is particularly useful in treating problems with binocular vision or stereo vision such as, amblyopia ("lazy eye") and strabismus ("crossed-eyes" or "wall-eyes"). |
