Need advice on purchasing progressive eyeglass lenses?

I took a special on 2 pairs glasses and decided to get one pair single vision that the special offered and the second pair progressive biofocals in order to lay my contact lenses aside more often. The single visions were fine for basiic tv watching or driving. However, the progressives were impossible to use. I felt like things were moving, there were distortions like a fun house mirror. I took them back and they changed them to the old timey sort of biofocals which doesn't work either because I can't get intermediate vision and see the computer clearly to work.So, back to the optical center and they say that its just that the lens is the bottom of the barrel quality (hence the special price of single vision 2 pairs for $78).To get better clarity I need a better lenses..the better the lens the less distortion and smoother transition from distance to intermediate to close up. Anyone have this experience and was it just the fact a better quality lens was the problem. Trying to understand progressive biofocal lenses and what I need to do to be able to see well.

Would I be able to see through prescription contax if they are a little too small?

I'm going to buy circle lenses soon, and usually the larger ones(14.5mm 15mm) don't come in prescription. I was wondering if I could buy some that are in my prescriptioned power(-4.25 both eyes) but were 14.2mm in diameter, if my eyes usually require lenses of 14.5 or higher in diameter? Will I see the color of the contacts? Will I still be able to see clearly?

What are some good eyeglass brands for me?

Hello, I'm going to buy new glasses but want to make sure I buy something that has great quality.
I need a good brand for men. I want to buy frames and lenses, so if you suggest a good brand that makes both I'd really appreciate it. Oh and a european brand would be good since I'm in europe anyways.

How bad is this? will I go blind?

Got this pair of contact lenses I've been using for a year.hardly used them though, maybe like 5 days a month every month. But the doc I saw while getting the prescription, asked me to throw these away and get a new prescription after a year, for a new pair of lenses.one year's up on the 3rd of December.i'm still using the same pair, cause I can see everything very clear using them, and don't experience any difficulty or pain while using them.So the question is, will I go blind if I keep using them for, say, another 6 months without seeing my doc? thanks.

Should i wear both contact lenses for amblyopia?

My mum said that as a child i had "lazy eye" in my left eye and that the optician wanted me to wear a patch on my right eye to encourage use of the left eye but that i complained that it was "all black" and that i couldn't see out of it. Well now as an adult im having the same problem, that if i close my right eye, my vision is clear but kind of obstructed in my left. The optometrist says there is nothing actually wrong with my eye which makes me think it must be amblyopia.Mt left lense is only 1.25 and my right is 3.75 so im thinking is it even worth wearing the left one, and should i ask my optometrist about amblyopia or is it too late now as an adult to do anything?

Ordering contact lense?

Hi there, I have VSP membership and I would like to order contacts. Nothing special, just a year supply of Acuvue 2. All the VSP in-network doctors are charging me $25 a box which will cost me around $50 for a year worth of supply after VSP deductions. I can order the same box for $16 from 1-800 contacts but that is Out of VSP network. However, VSP will refund me $105 if I go to an Out of the network doctor.
What should I do? Please share if you have an alternative ideas.
p.s: why these eye doctors are so damn expensive? charging me $25 for a box?
Thanks

Reusing contact lenses?

I'm trying to find out the most economical and comfortable way to wear contact lenses. I was wondering if any of you have ever tried wearing those disposable contact lenses (the ones you're supposed to change each day) for an extra 2-3 days. I was thinking you could probably stretch a one month pack out to last 2-4 months. How uncomfortable do they get if you wear the same pair for more than the suggested 1 day (I wouldn't sleep in them). Any experience with this that you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Another child broke my daughter's glasses, how can I get my money back? - 1

My daughter is in 2nd grade in advance class at P. S. 206 with the same classmate the past few years. We as parents has had each others contact information since Kindergarten. Another child ran into my daughter and broke her glasses in class. Luckily that piece that broke off did not damage my daughter's eye. The teacher saw the whole incident and ask my daughter to immediately wash her eyes. This pair of glasses was only partial covered by insurance and I paid out of pocket $100 a few months ago. I immediately next day have to purchase another pair from the same vision place that I got the original glasses from and they said that it was not repairable and it is not covered by my insurance.So I needed to purchase another pair of frames with a new pair of lens because the other pair of lens can not be reused and the original frame is discontinued.My daughter has astigmatism and the previous glasses also was good for swimming every weekend. I then wrote a letter to the parents of the child that their child has broken my daughter's glasses with a proof of receipt. That accident cost me $249 and they do not feel to even call me or write to me to apologize.No reply for the past 3 weeks. These people don't feel responsible for there own child's accident nor do they care. I work extremely hard for every dollar and pay my taxes and bills. This accident cost me 3 days of my hard earn money and yet I am a single mother trying to pay off my bills and take care of my own child and not someone else's child. I am very frustrated that they have no intention to contact me and would like some advice on how I can get back my money quickly. This is not a way to go during Christmas.
Added (1). The teacher also informed me that PS 206 Joseph Lamb Public School is not getting involve in this situation. Now my child thinks because she is underage she is allow to do anything including breaking things without taking any responsibility.As a single parent I try extremely hard to teach my child from right and wrong and this is what I get in return.
Added (2). This is an Advance Class and there are rules. You can not run around in the class.My Child was only standing in front of her desk and following the rules and guidelines in school. I hope everyone still remember the shooting in Sandy Hook. The mother was trying to teach her child responsibility. Then what happened? her son use her gun to shoot her and other kids and teachers in the school.So tell me what is responsibility means again. Giving a kid or teenager a gun to teach them responsibility.
Added (3). As for the the people that DOESN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. Why am I paying for someone else's accident? I can guarantee that nobody below that is irresponsible can answer that question. SOME ANSWERS given below is actually telling me to let it go because that child DID NOT LISTEN AND FOLLOW THE RULES AND GUIDELINE AND RAN INTO MY DAUGHTER. ACCIDENT HAPPENS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO FOLLOWING IT.SO DRINKING AND DRIVING IS OKAY TO RUN SOMEONE OVER. AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.IT IS OKAY TO HOLD A GUN AND ACCIDENTALLY PULL THE TRIGGER TO KILL SOMEONE. ACCIDENT HAPPENS EVERY DAY BUT IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER THE INDIVIDUAL WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I ALREADY KNOW SOME NOW!

TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE DO NOT POST. I AM ASKING ON HOW I CAN MOVE FORWARD TO GET BACK MY MONEY. THIS IS NOT MY DAUGHTER'S FAULT NOR MINES!

FIY this same child had head lice last year and the parents still send the child back to school the very next day. The same child again was s
Added (4). I understand it is an expensive pair, but my daughter can not fit all glasses.My daughter had a cleft palate and done surgery when she was 10 months old. Due to this she doesn't have a nasal bone. For the past few years she tried on numerous pairs of glasses but they end up falling down or rusting due to her daily nebulizer use. She needs to wear her glasses at all times except for sleeping and showering. I try using other items to hold the glasses up but then it just falls off.My daughter needs to go to swimming sessions on the weekend to hope that it will help with her COPD. This pair of glasses was the best fit and the most comfortable pair she ever worn that also can be worn in the water without rusting.As a parent I want the best for my child.My daughter was very upset and blamed herself for breaking it because she was at school.

Why do my eyes sting when I put contacts in?

I've been wearing contacts for over a month now and they've been fine until recently these past few days. Every night when I try to remove them from my eyes, it is becoming more and more difficult and my eyes are always red by the time my contacts are out. I used to be able to remove them in one pinch just fine. Also, whenever I put contacts into my eyes now, there's always this stinging sensation that hurts a lot but goes away after a minute or so, for both eyes.
I'm not sure if this may help with answering the question, but I'm Indian and I do eat a lot of hot, chilli food for dinner and then I wash my hands thoroughly with soap and clean them properly before handling my contact lenses. This may not be relevant to the question but at times I can't help but think it's because of the chilli food that my contacts are having this stinging sensation on my eyes lately?
But my questions is how come everything was completely fine for all this time and just now this is happening to my eyes? Any help and advice on this greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance guys! :)

Ortho-K lenses: Myopia (nearsightedness) & Astigmatism?

I have a few questions regarding Ortho-K, so I don't have to wear glasses/contacts during the day.

I went to 2 places to check out Ortho-K for my eyes. One place treats both Myopia and Astigmatism and said I will have to wear glasses temporarily up to 2 weeks. But the other place only treats Myopia and said I will continue to wear glasses even with Ortho-k (and I definitely don't want that) because my astigmatism was too high. But why? Why does one treat both, but the other not? And the one that WASN'T treating both was 20/20 (brand-name I guess).

-Can both Myopia & Astigmatism be treated in Ortho-K? I believe some places vary, but just wondering if it's possible.
~Left eye: -2.75 (nearsightedness) & -2.00 (astigmatism).
~Right eye: -4.00 (nearsightedness) & -3.00 (astigmatism).

Is this good so far.?

This is for the book I am trying to right and this is what I have so far. Please feel free to make constructive criticism, but no rude/silly/inappropriate answers and please tell me what you think so far.

Twice Told Tales, was the name of the library, that Arabella walked passed everyday on her way to school.It was a creepy old library but she loved it none the less. On Friday she was in the library, in a section called Earth.It was all these books from another planet and this was her favourite section to read from. Arabella loved reading books from Earth because they were much more exciting then the ones written of Sotur. She was reading about an artist called Leonardo Da Vinci and how he painted this very popular painting called the Mona Lisa. Arabella loved the painting as soon as she set her eyes on it. She was so immersed in her book that she didn't notice how silent the library was until she had finished reading the book. She got out of her chair and noticed a cool breeze coming through the window that started making her long blond hair float around her like it had a mind of its own. Arabella walking over to the window to shut it but noticed a black hole outside the window. Straight away she knew what it was; a portal to the void. She had read about the void in Soturian books aswell as Earthen books. The only thing was on Earth they called them Black Holes and the Humans, Arabella remembered this is what they were called, had no idea what a black hole was or where it lead. But, people from Sotur did, they had rocketships so much more advanced than Earth's that they could fly into a black hole and make it out with only a little bit of sickness. Arabella ran outside and was horrified at what she saw; trees pushed over, dogs, cat, horses, cows and every animal inbetween gone. There was one thing that Arabella loved about Earth and Sotur; the animals and everything in the environment were called the same thing; nearly everything was called the same thing and she didn't get mixed up with the Earthen names and the Soturian names. There were no people around either; everyone is gone from this world except for me, she sobbed. Just then she heard a car engine and her hopes flew right up and she rushed to the window to see her best friend Kiyoka pull up at the end of her drive way two seconds later.
Kiyoka threw herself at Arabella and they both started crying. 'I thought I was the only one left, sobbed Kiyoka.
Just as Arabella was about to say the same thing, she saw the picture she was looking at earlier, the Mona Lisa and the man who painted it, standing at the open window looking out at the void. 'Kiyoka, you know how I like reading Earthen stories. Well, today, I was reading one about a man named Leonardo Da Vinci and a picture he painted called the Mona Lisa. I loved the painting so much because it was so pretty. Now, I get to meet the man who painted.'
Kiyoka just stared at Arabella with confused eyes behind her thick lenses. 'What do you mean Arabella?'
'Well, you see that man over there? That's Leonardo Da Vinci. He's dead. He died on Earth in 1519, that's over 500 years ago, for the year is 2019.'
Just as she said that, Leonardo Da Vinci turned around and said 'How do you know who I am? I have never seen you before in my life.'
'H… H… How did you…' before Kiyoka could finish the sentence both her and Arabella were thinking, she saw the book that Arabella was reading before, open on a page that read "The Timeline of the Mona Lisa". There on each side of the page, was a photo missing. The captions read "Leonardo Da Vinci (and) The Mona Lisa".
'Arabella…' Kiyoka began to whisper, 'he and the painting, they came out of the book you were reading.'

First time wearing circle lenses? - 1

I bought some circle lenses from lenscircle.com and have let them soak in solution for 8 hours. I washed my hands and took one of the lenses (I made sure it wasn't inside-out) and I put it in my left eye. This was my first time wearing any type of eye contact. I managed to get the lens in my eye but, as soon as I did, it began to burn and my eye immediately began to turn red and burn.

I need contact lenses for only a weekend?

I wear glasses every single second that I'm not unconscious or showering. I NEED them because without them I can't live properly lol.My eyesight is so bad to the point where I can't see anything clearly that's not a foot (literally) away from my eyes.

I've never worn contacts before, and I don't want to on a regular basis yet. I need to wear contacts for just a weekend for a play that I'm in.

I've heard of daily disposable contacts, but how can I get them? Obviously I need to go to the optometrist to get my prescription and fitted and everything, but what exactly is the process for getting these contacts?

I don't want like a half year supply of contacts, since I only need them for a single weekend this whole year.

Air Optix Aqua right eye vision problems. Only sometimes?

I have worn a few different contact lenses and have been fitted properly for the Air Optix aqua. Sometimes my right eye is out of focus and sometimes its good? I don't know whats wrong with the lenses. Are they not sitting right? If its out of focus I can sometimes blink a lot and bring it into focus but sometimes I'm out of luck and can't wear them.

I have 2 other daily disposables with the exact same lens strength and size and have never had this problem.It's not the size or the strength. -1.5 size 14.2, 8.6

I do have a slight astigmatism of .5, but I don't think that should matter. They don't even make contacts with that low of a astigmatism.

Quick solution to a ripped contact?

So, today I ripped my contact.great! Unfortunately, I can't get a new pair because they are about $200 and my family can't afford it right now. I'm on break from school for about 1-2 more weeks and I REALLY do not want to wear my glasses to school. I know this makes me sound spoiled, but I'm so self conscience about wearing them.It's horrible… So any quick solution to this is greatly appreciated. I heard that you can buy circle lenses for cheaper… but I'm wondering if it'll be the same for me because I have such high astigmatism and there are only 3 brands of soft contacts I can wear according to my optometrist.

EBay buyer protection. Contact seller first, or ebay?

Okay, so recently I ordered a lens from ebay. I received it last week. The seller claimed it was in perfect pristine condition, and that it had only been used for one shoot, and that it was a factory refurbished lens. I received it, and it did look fairly pristine and mint, but there was a spec of dust inside of the lens, and most importantly, the focus ring is a bit stiff.It does not glide like an identical lens that my sibling owns.

I read that I have 45 days from purchase to file a buyer protection case. I was wondering if I should talk with the seller first, or go straight to ebay and file it. The buyer was really nice about things, but I can't help but think the item I bought is in a lot worse shape than he described.It works and looks good, but there seems to be some mechanical issue internally like the internal elements are rubbing together and not gliding like my sibling's lens, and it is certainly not a mint condition lens if I can spot a fairly large dust particle inside. He sold it as "manufacturer refurbished" but that is not the case here. How should I go about in taking care of this?

Thank you

Another child broke my daughter's glasses, how can I get my money back?

My daughter is in 2nd grade in advance class at P. S. 206 with the same classmate the past few years. We as parents has had each others contact information since Kindergarten. Another child ran into my daughter and broke her glasses in class. Luckily that piece that broke off did not damage my daughter's eye. The teacher saw the whole incident and ask my daughter to immediately wash her eyes. This pair of glasses was only partial covered by insurance and I paid out of pocket $100 a few months ago. I immediately next day have to purchase another pair from the same vision place that I got the original glasses from and they said that it was not repairable and it is not covered by my insurance.So I needed to purchase another pair of frames with a new pair of lens because the other pair of lens can not be reused and the original frame is discontinued.My daughter has astigmatism and the previous glasses also was good for swimming every weekend. I then wrote a letter to the parents of the child that their child has broken my daughter's glasses with a proof of receipt. That accident cost me $249 and they do not feel to even call me or write to me to apologize.No reply for the past 3 weeks. These people don't feel responsible for there own child's accident nor do they care. I work extremely hard for every dollar and pay my taxes and bills. This accident cost me 3 days of my hard earn money and yet I am a single mother trying to pay off my bills and take care of my own child and not someone else's child. I am very frustrated that they have no intention to contact me and would like some advice on how I can get back my money quickly. This is not a way to go during Christmas.
The teacher also informed me that PS 206 Joseph Lamb Public School is not getting involve in this situation. Now my child thinks because she is underage she is allow to do anything including breaking things without taking any responsibility.As a single parent I try extremely hard to teach my child from right and wrong and this is what I get in return.
This is an Advance Class and there are rules. You can not run around in the class.My Child was only standing in front of her desk and following the rules and guidelines in school. I hope everyone still remember the shooting in Sandy Hook. The mother was trying to teach her child responsibility. Then what happened? her son use her gun to shoot her and other kids and teachers in the school.So tell me what is responsibility means again. Giving a kid or teenager a gun to teach them responsibility.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE DO NOT POST. I AM ASKING ON HOW I CAN MOVE FORWARD TO GET BACK MY MONEY. THIS IS NOT MY DAUGHTER'S FAULT NOR MINES!
I understand it is an expensive pair, but my daughter can not fit all glasses.My daughter had a cleft palate and done surgery when she was 10 months old. Due to this she doesn't have a nasal bone. For the past few years she tried on numerous pairs of glasses but they end up falling down or rusting due to her daily nebulizer use. She needs to wear her glasses at all times except for sleeping and showering. I try using other items to hold the glasses up but then it just falls off or give my daughter an headache.My daughter needs to go to swimming sessions on the weekend to hope that it will help with her COPD. This pair of glasses was the best fit and the most comfortable pair she ever worn that also can be worn in the water without rusting.As a parent I want the best for my child.My daughter was very upset and blamed herself for breaking it because she was at school.
FIY this same child had head lice last year and the parents still send the child back to school the very next day. The same child again was sent home again on several occasions within the year but was sent back to school the very next day. Due to this issue the head lice was spreading within this class and other kids missed school. The parents of that child are irresponsible and inconsiderate. This child should not continue to be in this advance class due to improper teaching. Teachers previously has complained to the parents that the child doesn't listen at times. But the child parents doesn't care.It effects everyone else in the class.
Added (1). I remember being a kid and taking responsibilities.As an adult I also teach my child the same way to be responsible for your own actions and think about the consequences.As for that child, she did not listen like always and that is how ACCIDENTS HAPPEN when it shouldn't. Just like her parents (DON'T LISTEN AND DON'T CARE)!!! THEY CARE LESS FOR OTHER. THAT IS WHY THE OTHER STUDENTS ARE SUFFERING FROM HEAD LICE WITH THE PARENTS THAT HAS TO TAKE SEVERAL DAYS OFF OF WORK.
So far no one has answer my question in regards to moving forward in getting my money back for ANOTHER CHILD'S WRONG DOING. MEANING THE CHILD DID NOT LISTEN OR FOLLOW THE RULES. If my child did not listen I will teach her to follow the rules and directions. If she has broken something accidentally I will take it out of her allowance to pay back.

NOW FOR THE PEOPLE BELOW AGAIN! I CAN SEE HOW RESPONSIBLE YOU ARE! THIS IS ONLY FOR RESPONSIBLY INDIVIDUALS TO ANSWER!!!

Using a 1 year dispo daily wear lens, for TWO years and on.!

This friend of mine, she's been using her 1 year daily wear lenses, for more than 2 years! December the 3rd, she completed the second year, and she's still using them.planning to get a new pair tomorrow, not because she's having problems with the last pair, she just got tired of them and want to try some new stuff that's hit the stores.
Makes me question, why do i keep throwing away perfectly good lenses after 3 months!
She's had no eye problems whatsoever. She got a new prescription today, and the doc didn't even get to know! her the doc didn't find anything wrong with her eyes, so then the lenses of course didn't harm her eyes, the doc would have found out and would have refused to dispense a contact lens prescription again, if they did.
What is this, a scam? Lens companies earning extra $$$ by scaring people of impending blindness if they don't keep paying them money routinely?

How to change my style?

Okay, this is probably extremely stupid of me for asking this. But I really want to change my style a lot, I just don't know how to. First of all I'm 16 years old and plan on going to college in September, and yeah I wanna change my style for then.

I have long auburn hair, which is just past my shoulders and I'm not allowed to dye it, I have a side fringe which I'm bored of. I wear glasses, kind of nerdy style, and I have quite bad eyes, I tried contact lenses but they just failed and I had an allergic reaction to them.My eye colour is brown, I've got kind of fair skin, I tan fairly easily but I wouldn't say I get a great tan. I'm also quite short in height, I'm about 5ft and about 10 stone 5, I've lost weight over this year, but I'm going to try and lose some more. I have an underbite (bottom jaw bigger than top jaw) I'm getting an operation sometime in 2013/2014. Idk but I think my face shape is oval?

With my clothes, I wear a lot of band tees and skinny jeans, along with docs, converse and vans. I like to have my own style if I'm honest. I don't wear make up either, sometimes eyeliner, but I hate foundation.

Any suggestions people of the internet? Thank you to all of you!:D

Could i have possibly put my contact in inside out!

I wore contacts for the very first time today.
I briefly checked that the contact was cup side up before inserting it into my eye.At first it feltweird because i could feel the lens every time i blinked.
I went out for 3 hours but had to come home because the top half of my vision was blurry. The lens had been slipping down my eye and wasnt centred on my pupil.It had felt uncomfortable most of the 3hrs i had it in.
All this while my other eye was perfectly fine.

I removed the lens and chucked them away (daily ones). Then i picked them up again and looked at it carefully, flipping it inside out again and again and realised it looked the same to me! I didnt know the difference between curving in and curving out because the lens was so small.

Could i have possibly inserted an inside out lens without knowing?
But i lasted 3 hours with it in?

Spherical Contact Lense for Astigmatism?

Hi, I've had bad experiences with Toric lenses and I'm thinking of buying spherical lenses.
My Glasses Prescription is:
OD: Sphere -2.50, Cylinder: -1.50, Axis 006
OS: Sphere -2.50, Cylinder:-1.25, Axis 011

Could someone convert it to an equivalent spherical lense prescription and would this be okay with spherical lenses?

My previous Toric lenses with my old prescription was:

OS 8.6, 14.4, -2.25/-1.25x180

Does my daughter wear a lot of makeup for a teenage girl of 2012?

She left me some instructions on how to have makeup like her. She first cleanses her skin with a cleanser. She uses a paper facial mask to "give natural essences to her skin". She puts a toner on her skin to "close her pores". She then moisturizes her skin with a "non-oily and non-alcohol-based moisturizer." After that, she puts on sunblock to "protect her skin from harmful rays of the Sun and to keep her skin smooth, soft and with a pale complexion unlike chavvy girls" (she said all these things herself, it's not me, I'm just quoting her!!). She then wears a thick layer of BB Cream (or CC Cream) to "perfect the base of her skin and blur imperfections, and treat skin." Next, she puts on primer to even her skin. She then puts on a thick, thick layer of foundation, using a weird spray to "smooth it." She uses powder to "solidify her foundation". She puts on concealer to conceal the imperfections still remaining. Then she applies a light rouge onto her cheeks, and then she works with her eyes.In order to make her eyes larger and in a bright colour, she puts on coloured "circle" contact lenses, ordered from South Korea. She puts on eyelid glue to "enhance the crease of her eyelids." She rolls a stick under her eyes to "conceal the dark circles that form due to sleepless nights… " She wears eyelash extensions. She applies eye liner, eye shadow and waterproof mascara with care to her eyes. She then works on her eyebrows, using eyebrow pencil to "fine her eyebrows". She wears lip balm to moisturize her lips, uses lipstick to color them and uses lip liner to outline her lips. She then works with a cosmetic pencil to "highlight her cheekbones". She then does a whole lot of procedures to her hair.
As well as this, every night she cleanses and puts on facial masks, and then moisturizes, tones in the summer…
I just wear some concealer and lipstick.

The reason im reluctant to take an eye test and upgrade my glasses is that last time i took an eye test and im pretty sure they overprescribed me.My new glasses were so strong that for days i couldnt open my eyes properly. Everyone said "oh no you'll get used to it!!"
But around a month or so later i got used to it, but when i took my glasses off everything seemed a lot more blurry than before.
I havent changed my lens in 2 years, and my eyes have stayed pretty much the same. When i take my glasses off everything seems the same as 2 years ago.

Im afraid i'd get lazy over time with the cleaning hassle of weekly lenses.
But apparently daily disposables use cheaper material which is bad for the eyes?

Im planning on wearing them everyday, 8hrs a day (school, i cant avoid it), and if i stay home on the weekend then i'd wear glasses of course. Also if some days i dont feel like wearing lenses or my eyes feel tired, i'd wear glasses.

I have a part time job so even though i'd struggle, i can afford daily ones.
Im planning on getting Acuvue Trueye which is apparently the best and most expensive. When it comes to my eyes theres nothing but the best.i definitely dont want any damage.

Anyone with contact lens experience.?

I'm using Specsavers monthly contact lenses at the moment but wish to change to Daysoft daily disposable lenses because specsavers are like sandpaper and ironically more expensive. However: My lens prescription from specsavers is the same as my glasses prescription (-1.00 and -1.25) although I thought lens prescriptions differ? Anyway I ordered the appropriate daysoft lenses, tried them on and they were blurry. Can anyone offer advice please? Thank you.

Optometrists, what's up with my glasses?

So this is my first time wearing glasses. I am farsighted with astigmatism in both eyes. With one eye being a little worse than the other.

So I got my glasses. When I read or work on the computer while wearing them, all is good. They work great. But when I focus on far away objects, it seems a bit blurry.

While trying to figure out why this was, I closed my left eye, while focusing on a distant object, I noticed that it made my vision worse. Yet, when closing my right eye, my left lens improves my vision.

When looking at close up objects, either lens makes my vision better.

So, is this normal? I have read in some places that they will focus the dominant eye for close up vision, and the non dominant eye for distant vision. And when used together, they eyes will adjust.

So here's my question. Should I expect my long distance vision to be clear out of my right eye too? Am I supposed to only wear my glasses for reading an other close up work? Any ideas?

Please only comment if u actually know the answer. Here's my prescription.

SPH CYL AXIS
OD +.5 -.75 130
OS +.25 -.5 037

How bad is my astigmatism? Can I wear regular contact lenses?

I've always worn toric lenses but the colored contacts I want don't come in toric and I was wondering if I could get away with wearing regular lenses. Would it be harmful in any way or would my vision be too blurry? I don't know much about it but here's my prescription
Left eye: PWR -4.50, CYL -1.75, AXIS 180
Right eye: PWR -4.50, CYL -1.25, AXIS 010

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Inside my eyelid is red in the corner and became puffy?

Yesterday, my eye was fine until it started to hurt and was puffy. I had contact lenses on. I went to bed and then I checked this morning to see if it went away but it was red inside the corner. I don't know if it is a sty because it is a little bit bumpy. But its not white or anything. What should I do before I go to the eye doctor?

How long does it take for a year old girl to get used to daily disposable contact lenses?

I know this ten year old who's just got contact lenses (daily disposables) and she wants to know how long it will take for her to get used to them. When she's got them in OK she says it feels a tiny bit odd but quite comfortable. I was wondering how long it will take for them to feel absolutely fine, like they aren't even there.
Sensible answers only please and I will add additional details if needed.
Added (1). She does get used to them after a few minutes but it takes a few minutes every day and she wants to know when she'll just put them in and forget about them immediately.

Will a box of contacts work in place of a prescription for eyeglasses?

I just went to my eye doctor and got a box of contacts from him but now I need a pair of glasses and he is closed for the holidays and I cant get another prescription. I was planning on going to the walmart vision center to get a cheap pair of glasses and on the side of the box it has the power of the lens and what not. (everything that is on the prescription). If I brought this in would it work in place to get a pair of glasses. I am not trying to put this on health insurance either, I will just pay cash for them.please help

Prescription safety glasses in basic training?

Can you wear prescription safety glasses in Army basic training? I see in videos that some guys are wearing safety glasses that look like they have prescription lenses in them.

If so;
Are they given out when you receive your BCG's?
Can you wear them instead of the BCG's?
Are the new glasses that replace the old BCGs now being issued at basic?

I'm not concerned about the way BCGs look, I just think the safety glasses are alot more practical during basic. They'd be better at protecting your eyes and keeping dirt/dust out, as well as stay in place better than the heavy plastic frames.

Are contact lenses dangerous when entering a chemistry lab?

I'm a college student and registered chemistry this coming semester.
I have issues with my eyes because I could see things very good up close, but not far away.
So I had to get eye wear protection.
And I was considering of either getting glasses or contact lens.

I prefer getting lens, but I do not want to risk of getting my eyes damage when entering lab (If the rumors are true) and it looks like it hurts to put them on.

Glasses, on the other hand, looks very simple to put on, but do not look really like having it covering my face and beautiful eyes. :P

But I can deal with the glasses part because I really need to improve my eyesight.

any suggestions? thank you!

Afraid to put contact lenses on?

Yesterday I went for my annual eye exam and contacts were recommended to me. I had been thinking about them for a while so he gave me a pair that'll last 2 weeks and put them on for me. I absolutely LOVED being able to see, but I couldn't get them off so he had to take them off too ^^;
I know HOW to put them on and take them off, I'm just really really scared to. I get right to where I'm about to put it on my eye and then I get scared and don't go through with it
Are there any ways I can get over this fear? I LOVE LOVE LOVED being able to actually see and I don't want to be stuck with glasses, because it's really not the same :(

How to tell if your contact lens is inside out when its in your eye?

Yeah well sometimes I have a hard time just by looking at it I know it has the bowl shape if its good and it's curved out its inside out. Yeah well I just got them like 2 days ago and I just spend an hour and a half putting it in and I don't want to take it out and find that it was the right way the entire time because I'd just be pissed.So any way to tell if its inside out? It's just making my eye water like crazy and it's a little irritated but I'm not sure if that's because I just spend like an hour and a half touching my eye,

Why is my eye not responding to Rx lenses?

Both eyes: Given same Rx for ease of contacts. Right eye is slightly better.

Right eye: Sees slightly better (both near and far) than left eye WITHOUT corrective lenses. WITH corrective lenses, sees fuzzier (both near and far) than left eye.

Something about the lens is rendering my eye to not see as sharp as my weaker left eye when "corrected".

Could this be an astigmatism?

It's not a huge difference and my right eye is not becoming more myopic because it's stronger W/O correction. This is weird to me since my right eye is the stronger one. I never noticed this until recently.

Could I possible have an astigmatism?

My stronger right eye sees sharper (close and far) than my left eye when not wearing glasses. Without glasses it's now seeing more blurry than my weaker, left eye.It's not a major problem and with both eyes open I am functioning just fine.It may have even been this way for over a year.

I don't usually conduct self tests so I don't know when this started. I go for regular check ups each year.My stronger eye usually has been consistently stronger with and without corrective lenses, so it's strange that this is now happening.

Could this be a mild astigmatism?

How to get rid of red, watery eyes?

I am looking at buying contacts and I require toric lenses. I'm trying to order some online since I have my prescription on hand, however I've run into a problem when it comes down to the cylinder.

Another child broke my child glasses in school?

Another child broke my daughter's glasses in school by running into her. The teacher saw the whole accident. Luckily the piece that broke off did not damage my daughter's eyes. The teacher told my daughter to immediately wash her eyes. I ended up trying to crazy glue the glasses but unfortunately it did not work so I needed to purchase pair of glasses immediately.My daughter's insurance only partially paid for the previous glasses a few months ago and I paid $100 out of pocket. Since it has only been a few months the insurance wouldn't cover so I paid out of pocket $249. I wasn't able to purchase the same frame to reuse the lens.So I needed to pick out another frame.My daughter has astigmatism and no nasal bone so the lens are the most expense part of the glasses.It is extremely difficult to find the proper glasses with the proper fit for my daughters issues. I have provided my contact # and a receipt for the glasses to the teacher to give to the child's parents. The teacher has explain to the parents and I was told that the principal was also aware of the situation. I have spoke with the teacher a couple days ago and the teacher stated it is out of her hands and there is nothing the school can do.It has been 3 weeks and no apology and no reply. This cost me 3 days of my pay for another child's accident. I am a single mom with 1 full time job and paying my taxes. I would like to know how can I move forward in this situation. Thank you in advance
Added (1). My daughter is in 2nd grade in a Public School. I went back to Vision Palace were my daughter originally got her glasses and was told that it was not fixable. The guy said it will take 3 days to get a new pair of glasses and it was not covered by insurance. I work extremely hard for my money and pay my taxes and that pair of glasses cost me 3 days of my hard working pay. The parents should be responsible for there kids actions as I am responsible for mine. But ignoring the whole situation is not acceptable.It is like going into a store and your child breaks something accidentally and then walking out of the store like nothing happened. This is telling kids that it is okay to break things and not be responsible because you are young and it was an accident. I should not be responsible for another child's accident.My daughter is questioning me is it okay to break or steal because she is only 7 years old. I explained that if she did such thing I as a parent is responsible for her act

Can I buy contacts from Costco? Or if I don't have any choice Walmart?

*MY LOCAL WALMART AND COSTCO HAVE AN OPTOMETRY CENTER *Okay, so I ran out of contacts and my contacts prescription thing expired so its been a year since I started wearing contacts. on Dec. 29 I have an appointment to check my eyes for contacts lens, I get back from school on january 2nd or 3rd and I really NEED contacts before I get to school, I have glasses but they are kinda broken. I got to this place to get my eyes checked and I don't like the brand of contacts they carry, I prefer acuvue.My Costco does have an optometry center thingy so yeah I was just wondering and if I can buy there do I have to bring that prescription paper for proof?

Moving from Acuvue Oasys to 1 A Day for Astigmatism?

Okay, so I have been using Acuvue Oasys for awhile now. These things hurt my eyeballs after a few uses. I have told my eye doctor, but he feels that these are the best option. I feel that 1 a day contacts would be the best for me, especially since I pretty much only wear my contacts on the weekends.

I guess the problem is with my astigmatism the axis that I need 140 OD and 040 OS they pretty much do not offer.

I think that my eye doctor at America's Best is basically in bed with these people, since he won't prescribe me any other contacts.

What options do I have? And why doesn't Acuvue offer 1 a day for astigmatism with 140 and 040 axises? Please help.

Are the glasses marks permanent?

I've been wearing glasses since 8 and I'm now 18.My eyesight stopped going down last year. Every time I went to the doctor I had to change the lenses to thicker ones. And the glasses just kept getting heavier on my nose and they actually dug a very noticeable gap on both sides of my nose that I never even considering taking them off in public because it looks ugly.It makes my nose look bell-shaped.My mom wouldn't let me get contacts because they're not as safe. But finally I'm getting ones next month and I'm not sure if I'll even be able to wear them outside.So is there any hope that those marks would fade or anything? Or is there any way (apart from surgery) to fix this?
