Having problems with message search?
I've had Adies for around 2 years. I'll be 51 in July. Most of my life I've been nearsighted, and with age, wear reading glasses as well. I noticed someone earlier, in some comments, mentioned Adies as a disease. It's not a disease, it's a syndrome, that no one has done any research on. Usually it's associated with women, more than men. The affected Adies eye(s) don't react to light, but only get temporarily smaller with objects close to the eye. My non-adies eye is usually small, compensating for the large pupil from Adies. I do have my reflexes, which some people with adies, don't have in their knee reflexes. It seems like every case is slightly different from each other. I'm hoping to find soft contacts, that are colored in such a way, that hides my pupil differences. I currently wear hard gas permeable contacts.

I'm 42 and I've been wearing glasses since I was 15. I just had my script changed for the 1st time and that was around the same time I found out I had adie's. I've had it now for 4yrs but was only diagnosed a year and a half ago.

My name is Amber and I was diagnosed with Adies in
November. Since then I have gotten new glasses twice
until a couple weeks ago when my doctor announced that
my eyes had stabilized. My eye doctor said that for
awhile your eyes may change a lot, but they should
slow down and eventually settle into one prescription.
Of course every case is different and it may take
longer for your eyes to stabilize and new glasses are
expensive, but my eyes stabilized after two
prescriptions and if you don't get new ones every so
often it may damage your eyes.
