Compare your vision at a distance to an acquaintance who has good vision. Probably reading the print on a storefront or billboard would indicate whether you see as well as this person. If not, then you might need an eye examination.

How long does it take for pink eye to go away?

Depends upon the nature of the infection. Most "pink eye" is due to one of about 40 viruses and the length of the condition can be from 3 days to 10 days for most. Two of them have a lengthy course that can last for up to 2-3 months. These are quite rare.
Can I drive after Lasik?
You should have a friend, companion, etc., to drive you home from LASIK as there is typically a 12-hour or so haziness which could make driving hazardous.
Should I wear my glasses all the time if I'm farsighted?

Eyeglasses are a means to see clearly. The eyes will do their best whether or not you wear your eyeglasses. This is a personal choice. If you wear them, you will have sharper vision. If you don't care, then don't wear them. However, in many, uncorrected farsightedness can lead to headaches so keep this in mind. =20
Has my vision increased or decreased?
This would be considered an improvement. It might fall within the range of statistical error representing no change, but an improvement on numbers alone.
What causes poor vision in low light?
Some see poorly in low light with no known pathology. More common causes are some inherited retinal diseases, diabetic retinal disease and some other conditions. Best to see an READ MORE
Some see poorly in low light with no known pathology. More common causes are some inherited retinal diseases, diabetic retinal disease and some other conditions. Best to see an ophthalmologist to have this evaluated.
Will lasik eye surgery make my vision perfect?

Depends. If your current need for eyeglasses meets the standards for the machines capabilities, then perfect vision is likely. If you are outside the criteria, then you might have a less than optimal result or possibly be rejected as a candidate altogether.
Are eye floaters dangerous?

As the fluids in the back of the eye termed the vitreous change with age, sometimes suspended irregularities and membrane fragments can come into view. These are termed floaters. Floaters are usually benign but annoying. We generally do not worry if there are 1-4 floaters in one eye but you should seek immediate help if there are hundreds all at one. Work is being done currently to adapt lasers to treat annoying floaters although perfection is not here yet.
What are the treatment options for dry eye?

This is a whole essay in this rapidly evolving field. Dry eyes can occur from deficient tear flow, inadequate mucus in the tears, deficient oils in the tears, inflammation of the lids usually termed meibomian gland dysfunction; all of which can be worsened by dry atmospheres and dry climates. There is a 'step ladder' of treatments depending upon the underlying problem which includes lubricating tear replacements, nightly addition of gels and ointments and treatment of the meibomian gland problem if present. The tear outflow plumbing can be attenuated with temporary or permanent plugs to block outflow. A variety of mechanical devices can be used to "milk" the lid glands to unclog obstructed output. Focal heat can be useful. In more extreme cases, goggles can be used to contain moisture in the eye area and ultrasonic devices can rain a shower of moisture over the bed area during sleep. Other measures are available for more extreme cases. You should consult an ophthalmologist if this is a chronic problem - especially a corneal specialist as these commonly deal with these conditions.
Are contact lenses safe to use every day?
Contact lenses have tens of millions of users. They have been thoroughly tested. See your ophthalmologist for proper fitting and power and you should be comfortable, clear, and READ MORE

What are the treatment options for cataracts?
You are a bit on the young side to have serious cataracts. I am guessing that you saw an optometrist who made this diagnosis. Your best bet at this time is to consult with an ophthalmologist READ MORE
You are a bit on the young side to have serious cataracts. I am guessing that you saw an optometrist who made this diagnosis. Your best bet at this time is to consult with an ophthalmologist - the medical doctor trained eye specialists - to see if you actually do have cataracts. As for treatment, the time to consider cataract surgery is when your corrected vision is lowered to the point that you have visual difficulties in ordinary activities such as reading or driving and whatever visual needs you have at work. I would bet that you do not have cataracts at your age, but just need an improved eyeglass correction.
How do eye floaters develop?

Floaters are the term for membrane fragments and minor condensations floating in the vitreous - the gel that fills the back of the eye. Some are there from birth; others from changes in the vitreous over time. They are usually benign, but you should be evaluated if you see hundreds all at once. They can be annoying. Some are working with laser treatments for them, but this is not established treatment yet.

There are fortunately many options. Elevated pressure is best handled by the complete eye specialist - an ophthalmologist and there are some that specialize in glaucoma. Treatment options to lower the pressure include a variety of topical medications, a few systemic options, laser treatment and operative surgery. The ophthalmologist can do all of these (not so for an optometrist). Discuss what is appropriate for you with your ophthalmologist.
Are there any treatment options for floaters?
Floaters are benign specks floating in the vitreous gel in the back of the eye. They can be quite annoying. If there are hundreds at once, seek an ophthalmologist right away READ MORE
Floaters are benign specks floating in the vitreous gel in the back of the eye. They can be quite annoying. If there are hundreds at once, seek an ophthalmologist right away as that can be a sign of trouble needing treatment. For the usual 1-4 floaters mostly they can be ignored. Some are large enough or bothersome enough that one wishes to do something about them. The usual method is to do a procedure termed vitrectomy. This is invasive and carries some risk so is rarely suggested. If the floaters are anterior in the vitreous, YAG laser can sometimes vaporize them but this is tricky and frequently fails. Work is being done to improve lasers and lenses to more effectively treat floaters but that is in the wings. It should be available in the next 1-3 years. Best to wait for that.

Each type of contact lens has a time for length of use and change needed as posted by the manufacturer. Generally, the prescriber of the lenses will tell you these times as well as how to care for the lens. Sometimes you will get an information pamphlet with your initial amount of lenses. If all else fails, look up either the lens type or the manufacturer on the internet and get the information you need.
What will doctors ask me about at my ophthalmic pathology follow up?

I am guessing that you had a biopsy and the pathology report will be that of the results of this biopsy. Your treating surgeon will receive a report from the pathologist giving the details of the results. It is unlikely that you will get the microscopic details presented. You will be told whether the architecture of the biopsy was benign or malignant (a cancer). If benign, that is usually the end of the issue. If malignant, further work might need to be done and depending upon the type of malignancy you might be advised to have systemic studies for cancer spread, and sometimes referral to an oncologist for treatment.
