Thanks for your comments. Glad you found the zooming technique useful.

The other techniques, such as palming & tracing the figure 8 are a part of the Bates Method technique, which has been in existence since 1919. The Bates Method is a mental approach, founded by Dr. William Bates who was a board certified ophthalmologist. According to Dr. Bates, habitual strain is the main reason behind most problems of vision. All of the suggested exercises help in addressing strain. Hundreds of people, if not thousands, have benefited from using the Bates Method, as you can see from a basic online search or non-partisan user forums dedicated to eye problems.

All of the techniques suggested in the article are natural and easy-to-perform with no proven side effects. In an age where most of us are glued to smartphone and computer screens for most part of the day, these harmless techniques can help people improve their vision without resorting to medications/surgery.

We recommend you to check out this book "The Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses" https://www.amazon.com/Method-Better-Eyesight-Without-Glasses/dp/0805002413/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496896328&sr=8-1&keywords=bates+method to know more about the Bates Method.

Eye glasses can most definitely be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner. You might try using iSonic Jewelry & Eyewear Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution. Just a small amount of this solution combined with a tank of room temperature, tap water will clean and shine eye glasses very easily. This solution can break down oils from your skin, while also removing dirt and other residue.

I would also recommend our D3000 ultrasonic cleaner if you do not already have one. This model comes with a 1oz sample of the cleaning solution, as well:

I'm in the same position as you are my friend. I have plenty of books I'm reading upon, but the best book I can refer to you is...

https://www.amazon.com/Optician-Training-Manual-David-McCleary/dp/0615193811/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502143251&sr=8-3&keywords=abo+exam

& LaramyK online as well as quizlet.com has a bunch of study guides and practice tests people have made. check it out, I'm on the same boat as you dude, shit is tough. A lot of material to cover. Good luck!

Here is the required book from my Cls class, but I havn't used it so i dont know if it is good or not. Also this one was written by my professor who is pretty good.

Hey :) Have you thought about talking to a therapist about this? Sounds like OCD to me.

Edit: have looked at your other posts. Therapy is the best place to start. If you can't afford that, I'd recommend buying yourself an exposure and response prevention workbook, like this one on amazon

Nordic Naturals is most popular among a recent show-of-hands at optometric CE.

For economy, I've been ordering Sports Naturals AlaskOmega.

I take it for heart benefits. The dry-eye effects have recently been questioned.

The Bennett Book is amazing for a Contact Lens Manual as stated here. I have been using it at school for a few semesters now. Also, the Will's Eye manual is quite nice to have in clinic when you see that nutso thing that you have no idea what it is. For Pediatrics, I would suggest a book by Scheimann. He is lecturing to us now, and he is pretty damn good at what he does.

Hey thanks for your reply. Here is a link to the lenses I bought:

https://www.amazon.com/Exchange-Armani-0AX1017-Rectangular-Sunglasses/dp/B018E8IJD4?th=1

The size is 54mm

​

Thanks for the suggestions as well. I definitely considered anti-reflective coating. Glare really bothers me sometimes. I am also on the computer more than half the day.

This is a very detailed history you are giving, but is also lacking some critical things. I am curious, has your doctor diagnosed you with blepharitis? Also, how did you get an ulcer in one eye but just abrasions in the other? Are we sure these other abrasions arent ulcers as well? If it is an ulcer you MUST be on on antibiotic drop of some kind. Any recent history of contact lens wear?

My guess? Staph marginal keratitis. You are likely having a hypersensitivity reaction to bacteria on your lid margin and it is inhibiting your wound healing. Without a full history and looking at your eyes clinically though its hard to give you proper advice, you need a specific regiment of drops/ointment/lid cleaning etc to get rid of this.

However, I would start you on avenova or hypochlor lid spray, spraying directly onto the lids and lashes twice a day and wiping away with cotton pad. You can by hypochlor on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/OCUSOFT-HYPOCHLOR-HYPOCHLOROUS-SOLUTION-SPRAY/dp/B013M57VZG/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1541219729&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=hypochlor+eyelid+cleaner&psc=1

​

You cannot harm the condition by doing this and it is likely a huge missing part of the equation. I would start it and let your doctor know. It might be time to consult with a cornea specialist as well, non healing ulcers and abrasions can lead to permanent scarring. If it gets into your central cornea it could permanently decrease your vision.

For an overview of the field targeted for those in an assistant or even admin role, I would recommend The Ophthalmic Assistant by Stein. It's reasonably thorough - should cover almost anything you'll be asked by people. It's also an easy read IMO :)

How would you recommend storing them if I want to put them back on straight after?

I was considering using contact lens solution (found this online), but the instructions state that it must be kept in the solution for 4 hours.
