I've figured out what's going on here.
Ace has a "Fictitious Disorder." Ace doesn't need help from an
optometrist or ophthalmologist, but from a psychiatrist. Please get
yourself some help Ace.
Adult Munchausen Syndrome is found most often in young adult males
looking for attention through exaggerating real or imagined physical or
mental disorders. It is usually characterized by someone submitting
themselves to numerous medical tests and procedures and extensive use
medical terminology and text book medical procedures to describe their
condition.
People with factitious disorder feign or actually induce illness in
themselves, typically to garner the nurturance of others.

"FACTITIOUS DISORDER, (of which MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME is a sub-type),
(also called "Adult Munchausen", and "Adult Factitious Disorder") is a
formal, DSM-IV mental health diagnosis in which people deliberately
exaggerate and/or fabricate and/or induce physical and/or
psychological-behavioral-mental health problems in themselves. The
primary purpose of this behavior is to gain some form of internal
gratification, such as attention, for themselves."

"What is Munchausen syndrome?
Munchausen syndrome is a type of factitious disorder, or mental illness,
in which a person repeatedly acts as if he or she has a physical or
mental disorder when, in truth, they have caused the symptoms. People
with factitious disorders act this way because of an inner need to be
seen as ill or injured, not to achieve a concrete benefit, such as
financial gain. They are even willing to undergo painful or risky tests
and operations in order to get the sympathy and special attention given
to people who are truly ill. Munchausen syndrome is a mental illness
associated with severe emotional difficulties."

O.K Ace (although I believe that Ace/Eye/etc are all Brent). You may
have had a bad outcome. However instead of taking appropriate steps to
improve your situation, you seem to do the rounds of doctors and
optometrists who never seem able to help you. Do you really want help
or are you simply exaggerating your position because it is now too hard
to back down? On top of this, you post the most incredibly childish
attacks on people and spam the NG constantly. You also reply to your
own aliases which is incredibly bizarre behaviour for an adult.

Not exactly. The "by proxy" part means someone makes another ill like a
mother with her child. The Munchausen Syndrome alone is what is more
applicable.
You'll find people suffering from FD (Fictitious Disorders) on any
medically oriented group. It took me a while to recognize it in Ace, but
it's clear that s/he's struggling with something that's not related to
eyes.
