How to put soft contact lenses in?

I'm 13 and I just got contacts. I am having a lot of trouble putting my contacts in. I'm really good at taking them out, but whenever I try to put them in, they keep trying to stick to my finger.It usually takes me 10-15 tries to put each one in, and yesterday I missed my bus trying to put my contacts in. Both of my eyes are the same strength, so I don't have to worry about getting them mixed up. I am looking for some advice from an experienced contact wearer. Thanks!

I have an astigmatism, can i wear normal contacts?

For a play i need to wear colored contact lenses, but the contacts i need don't come in with astigmatism prescription.i wouldn't wear them for over two hours.
my prescription is -6.25 -1.25x170
-6.50-1.25x180
would it be okay to just wear -6.00 contacts?

Contact lenses vs glasses?

I am a 13 year boy. I had glasses since 2-3 years but I only wore them for the first 6 months after I got them. I did not like them because of two reasons:
1. They felt uncomfortable for my head and I used to get irritated a lot(whenever I used them I always used to think about them)(BTW I had 3 glasses all of them felt the same way)
2. Whenever I looked at anything, I could always see the frame and it was also very irritating.
I have never tried contacts but I think that I would lose them and it would hurt or feel uncomfortable.Do you have to get used to them?
And my mother is not allowing them, I dont know why. And I am very responsible.

Please tell what should I wear:
If glasses, please recommen a good brand and
If contacts, how to I convince my parents and does it hurt?

Thanks in Advance.

How do you know if you can wear contacts of not?

I wanted to try out some coloured contacts but my mum has worried me by telling me that when she was young and had to wear contacts for her sight, one slipped behind her eye-ball which had to be removed to get the lens out.

How do I know if I can or can't wear them? Is it something to do with the shape of your eyes to keep the contacts in place? I don't want to risk it: L

What type of glasses do I wear?

I have two different prescriptions for my eyes.My left eye is better than my right eye. What type of glasses do I wear?

I need new glasses since my current glasses frame broke this morning. I was thinking about going to America's Best, because of their $69.95 + free eye exam offer. However, I read that their offer includes single vision plastic (CR39) lenses only.So I'm wondering if I am able to get their deal.

My eyeball is bleeding, no optical insurnce?

Pretty sure it's an infection, been waking up with pink eye in both for a while, but my left one (the one I've been wearing a lens in) is now bleeding on one side, legit blood, in blotches all over. Every time I call my doctor, the ladies there redirect me to clinics that avoid me, urgent care is considered an ER visit at my local hospital which costs $100, l an eye doctor won't see me for under $100 and glasses cost that much. I'm not made of money otherwise I would have had this problem solved months ago so what's my best course of action?

Red eyes after taking out my contacts?

I just tried a new brand of contacts called Solotica Hidrocharmes, I soaked them in opti-free solution two times over night after i opened the containter before i put them in my eyes to be safe. I didnt have any discomfort while wearing them, in fact they felt more comfortable than my freshlook contacts that i used before! but when i took them off a few minutes ago around my eye its red…
its red where the contacts were but the rest of my eye (the white part) isnt red… so i didnt see that my eyes were getting red with them on (theyre coloured)

these lenses were bought online, with a base curve of 8.7 and a diameter of 14.2
my normal contacts have a base curve of 8.6 and a diameter of 14.5
BUT- 8.6-8.7 is "medium" or whatever so its fine and i looked it up before that the diamete doesnt really matter…

I didnt change my solution, ive used this solution before.

i had no signs of discomfort while wearing the lenses but i did have a headache that i had from a day before..but i dont think that would cause my eyes to go red

i dont know what to do im so scared i got an infection or something T _ T i thought everything was going great until i took it off and where they were are red! what should i do? should i see an eye doctor! are my eyes ruined now D:!?
Added (1). :( oh yeah..btw i wore them for like… over 15 hours… </3

How to add more moisture to the air?

I work in an air conditioned office and the air is very dry. I have a humidifier on my desk but its still too dry. This is causing havoc with my contact lenses and I also use blink intensive tears. I know there isn't a problem with my lenses as I had a week off and didn't have any eye issues.It is also affecting a couple other colleagues.My boss has asked if there is anything else they can do… we don't have our vents on at the moment but the air circulates through the rest of the building. Does anyone have any suggestions to increase the moisture level. I think the boss is sick of me sat there with blood shot eyes etc

Are eyeglasses harder to get clean if you have multiple coatings on them?

I have only needed to wear glasses for about 3 years now.
i have polycarbonate lenses that are -9 diopters, 1.74 high index, with transition coating, anti glare coating and scratch resistant coating.
i got them during the summer and it seemed like within a couple of months after sweating and having sunscreen sweat onto them they have never become really clean again.its like they are smeared and smudgey not matter how often i clean them or what i use to clean them.even the glasses place commented when i went in to have them tightened that they seemed to not come completely clean when they cleaned them.
i'm going to my eye dr next week and he said he would check my eyes to see if i ned a prescription change.whether i do or not i'm getting new glasses and i'll ask his advice as well as the glasses place but i'm just wondering is it true that the more coatings you get on eyeglasses the more difficult it is to get them clean?
i'm thinking about not having any coatings put on or maybe just the scratch resistant one.
the transition coating drives me nuts anyways cuz it doesn't seem to get dark enough for my liking in the sun and obviously does not work in the car where i need it the most plus i have terrible night vision so i have to take them off when i walk into a dim restaurant.
do you think the less coatings the better for my situation and what i've been experiencing or does the number of coatings really not make a difference in how clean the glasses get?
Added (1). @emily: i have always had terrible eye sight but due to my eyes being complex glasses did not help.i had cataract surgery 3yrs ago and all the measurements said my lens was one strength but since my eyes are complex it turns out the measurements were off by 9 diopters and the surgeon did not want to swap it out or do a piggy back lens implant.
so i went from no prescription to -9 in a matter of 30 minutes.
i'm 26yrs old.
my dr and the glasses place recommended the polycarbonate cuz its light weight and i have a very sensitive nose.

Halloween contacts for astigmatism?

I have astigmatism in both eyes therefore I need toric lenses. I cannot find any "special effects" lenses that accommodate for this.

Does anybody know of some websites that have them? If not, can I wear regular contacts just for a short time? I won't drive with them. I can enter my prescription for the power just not the other part for my astigmatism.So will this be okay temporarily?

How much would it affect my vision? Would it even be worth getting the prescription or just getting "nonprescription" lenses? I could wear my glasses over them if absolutely necessary.

What's wrong with my eye?

I've been wearing one Lens in my left eye for about 6 months now, because of a vein popping out on my right eye, but recently my left eye's been very sore. I wake up with both of them pink, put eye drops in just to make the left one white enough for a lens for the day. Now, I look in the mirror and notice that my left eye is… bloody? No pink, just wet blotches of red all over the top-left side of my Left Eye, immediately removed contact lens.

Health insurance doesn't cover optical, regular doctor avoids me like the plague, is there any way to get medical attention on the weekends without spending a million dollars?
Added (1). It's my left eye that's the problem now, I could care less about the right eye with the vein, my left one is BLEEDING, my right one hasn't had a lens in for a long time, and the vain is still there, I need vision, glasses are expensive.

Why Do Colored Contacts Burn My Eyes?

Every time I try to put in my colored contact lenses, they burn. I don't mean a little, I mean they burn so badly that I collapse to the ground and can't open my eyes for about ten minutes. When I finally can open my eyes, it's painful and everything blurs.My eyes are always bright red after this. I've tried different contacts and different contact solutions, but it's always the same.It doesn't matter how much time I wait, the burning never completely stops, and I eventually have to take them out.My friends have tried the contact lenses to see what I'm talking about, and other than their eyes watering a bit and burning somewhat for a minute or two, they're perfectly fine. I don't understand what the problem is. Can anybody tell me why this is, or what's going on?
Added (1). I thought I should also add in that this has been going on for almost two years.
Added (2). -I have not been trying to wear the SAME pair of contacts for almost two years, I've been trying different brands of lenses and of solutions.
-I didn't let my friend where the same contact lenses I had worn, we bought the same brand and had her try them out. I do not share contact lenses.
-I ask that the people who answer don't criticize me. I would just like an answer as to why I cannot wear contact lenses. Thank you to the people who have actually answered the question.

I wear BC 8.5.and DIA 14.2. Can I wear any other contacts?

Hi there,
I used to wear 1-day-Acuvue Moist BC 8.5 and DIA 14.2.It was perfect!

I bought Acuvue Advance (with Hydraclear) BC 8.7 and DIA 14.My eyes are RED after 1 hour or so!

Here is the question (s):

Can I only fit BC 8.5 and DIA 14.2?

Why my eyes turned RED with a just lil BC/DIA difference?
I noticed that the BC8.7/DIA 14 contact is smaller around my eye and tends to go up (and stay up).It does feel smaller, perhaps is that the tight contact lens feeling? Or is there a lack of oxygen?

Many thanks!

I took a Nap in my Contacts!?

Ok so I'm still new to wearing contacts. Started in May. I have Air Optix Aqua and the one thing I'm proud of is that I haven't slept overnight in them which is good but today and yesterday I got back from school and I just dozed off..it was 5 and I woke up and it was 8. Yesterday I got up and took them off but today when I wanted to take them off they were like dried out..lifeless but they were that dry that I couldn't get them out and now I'm a little paraniod. I just want to make sure I'm not making myself bilnd overtime. I talked to my doctor a while back and he said that little naps are ok but sleeping in them is a big no no! I just need some help! Is there anything I should know or look out for? Oh and sometimes the bottom of my cornnea (the larger outside of the eye area) there's like some red..is that like from irriation or wearing it too long? Because I do admit to wearing them all day. (9am-11pm or 2am). And I also use Biotrue solution. Used to use opti free but it dries out and irritates my eyes a lot. Thanks!

My eyes are sometimes red when I wake up in the mornings?

This began a few years ago when the whites of my eyes started to turn red for no apparent reason. I thought it was due to me being really tired. However, I sometimes get 10 hours of sleep and my eyes don't seem to clear up at all. I wear contact lenses and my eyes get really dry during the day (so much so that each lense sticks to my eye whenever I try to take them out at night). Perhaps this is the cause for the redness in my eyes? Are there any eyedrops that help with clearing up the eyes or anything like that? I already use one but it doesn't seem to help very much.

I'm buying contact lenses for Halloween.does .25 make a difference?

Okay… I'm looking over prescription lenses for Halloween (because I've decided that based on what I've read… wearing contacts over contacts would not work). I've found a pair that I like in colored contacts online and I know my prescription, but the prescription only goes to -4.00.My left eyes "D" which I'm guessing means power of the prescription is -4.25.Is the .25 difference from -4.00 that big of a deal? Can I wear a -4.00 in the left eye and still be able to see okay? Should I just not buy them at all? I'd hate to buy them and not be able to use them… especially since they are so expensive. I work at a haunted house and seeing well while on the job is very important.

Am I allergic to my contacts solution?

Two weeks ago my eye doctor gave me some contacts solution with my new lenses. I haven't used it until last night. I put them on this morning and didn't notice until just now that it made the area under the contact really red! It was worse on my left eye than the right but it doesn't hurt/ itch at all. I can't even feel it.Is it some kind of allergic reaction?

Vision Clear with Contacts but Blurry with Glasses?

I usually wear contact lenses until I started having irritation after use so I went back to my glasses which are the same prescription.

After a few weeks with my glasses, my vision started to get really blurry and I had more discharge that usual after sleeping/napping. Assuming that I had an eye infection, I got antibiotic eyedrops from my doctor which fixed my discharge issue but blurriness on the glasses didn't go away.

So I thought wow my vision must've got really bad in a few weeks but when I wore my contacts again my vision is clear but then irritation after

I'm reluctant to schedule another appointment with my optomitrist since I just saw her on March, I'm was wondering if you guys know what's going on with me

atm I'm sucking it up with my contacts since it's unsafe for me to drive with the glasses and it also gives me a headache.

I dropped, lost, and found my contact lens but they were dry?

This was 5 hours later. I found them dry and kind of curling on two sides. I immediately put them in solution and i checked on them about 3 hours later and they looked normal enough. I wanted to know if it was safe to use them again.

I'm using Acuvue soft contact lens.

Personally, when my doctor told me I could go blind if i misuse contact lens, I was scared of putting the lens back in my eye to see if it was alright to wear again.
If anyone has any experience, your comments are very much appreciated!

Doctor messed up my prescription?

He gave me a prescription for new glasses and a pair of new contacts. I had no problem with the right side but with both in, the left side was really blurry and bright and if I closed or covered my right eye to see with my left things still looked blurry so I'm pretty sure he messed up the number.
I also had problems at the appointment with the left side too…
I don't want to order my new glasses (Which is a different place compared to where I have my appointments) and suffer with the wrong lenses and not being able to fix them.
And I don't have the money to even pay to have another appointment to get it fixed

Is it bad to have more than one year of contacts at once?

Well, I am a glasses wearer, and I plan on getting contacts off of Lens.com. They are air optix aqua and the best deal is 3 boxes per eye, and they are monthly contacts with 6 contacts per box. With 18 months of contacts I want to know if this is a bad thing. I am 16 and my eyes get worse all the time but not as bad as before but still because I am still always around technology. I guess my point is since 18 months is a decent time and I want perfect vision will the later boxes of contacts not work and good and be bad for my eyesight? Or is it fine and right after my contacts are done do I just get another eye exam and order another set of 18 month contacts? Also, side question, am I able to wear contacts a while longer after a month? Or is that bad for my eyesight and isnt worth it?

Thanks,
Tom

For contact lens, is 8.8 BC more comfortable than 8.4 BC?

If I could wear either one and they would fit me, would 8.8 base curve be more comfortable than 8.4 base curve? Would my eyes feel more comfortable and oxygen? Would I be able to see better?

The johnson and johnson website says that for people who can wear 8.4 base curve, 8.8 should be an alternative.

What Japanese/Korean stores are in Melbourne Australia? - 1

I am travelling for the first time to Melbourne next week, from Tasmania, and I really want to know what Japanese/Korean stores there are! I love Asian home goods (bento stuff, kitchen supplies) and I adore Japanese/Korean cosmetics/nail polishes.In particular I am also looking for Asian hair dye/circle lenses. I will be staying in Geelong, but I am hoping to make a day trip on the train (riding a train, woo!) to Melbourne City, so I really want to plan out shops I can go to before hand.So any places in Geelong or in the Melbourne City would be really helpful!

Having problems with my eyes? they are dry as a bone!

Well my eye sight went down hill randomly at the age of 14,
i noticed i couldn't see the black board at school after summer break
and went to the opticians, they said i needed glasses with a
prescription of -3 in one eye and -2.75 in the other (no astigmatism)
well i really didn't want to wear them (down to bullies at school)
and went up until i was 18 without them (looking back now i know how much
i missed out on with my bad eyes, as we used to go on holiday every year
to places like Egypt, spain, turkey and i couldn't see!) and then decided i wanted contact lenses,
loved them! no problems with them looked after them maybe worn them
for more then i should sometimes but that was down to not knowing that
i was going to a 12 hour shift at work before i got in, then after a year
of wearing them my eyes got very dry one day i took them out,
got eye drops and went back to the optician (no infection) and he
pointed our dry eye and gave me other lenses to try out (i tried about 4)
and they were all the same basically, well my eyes were only dry if
i wore the lenses so i went to a laser eye surgery consultation and they
said i wad a great candidate and i booked it, well because i was having dry
eye before surgery i decided to stop my contacts all together until i have it done
(which was about 2 months time) to give my eyes
to fully repair from contacts, but now i don't wear them ive noticed
how bad my eyes are without them! it's like my eyes crave them and are so
dryer without them (kept them out for a week and still dry eye)
it's that bad i know, because i'll wash my hands and touch the bottom
of my eye and it feels dry as a bone, they have more veins then usual, and
at work (i work in a hot care home) they sting and go bright red! and
then always kind of make a clicking noise when i blink! )im not planning on wearing contacts again
and im in my glasses (which i look good in but don't fancy wearing them when i go out as
im 20 years old now) i've also tried flax seed oil omega 3 (helping a bit) and bacterial
infection eye drops and that didn't help so ive ruled out infection,
but my eyes are still dry! I've been to doctors and she said probably a infection
and gave me stronger eye antibiotic drops but no change,
i am on the pill but been on it for about 4 years now
so could the side effect of dry eye start after 4 years?
i just wonder if anyone had this problem and if there eyes did go back to normal,
because i do like my glasses but laser eye surgery would change my life,
as i say i go on holiday and im blind as a bat when we go to water parks and theme parks
and i feel like im missing out on a lot! im not doing it to be vain because i probably would miss my glasses (getting some really cool gok wan ones) but i still feel as though im always missing out, so anyone got any advise for me?
anyone had lasik?(the risk put me of abit especially on the dryeyezone website!)
thank you very much for reading as i know i blabber on…

Problems with the rats in France, what should we do?

My pet snail Eudoxia and I go to work in Bibliothèque Nationale de France almost every day for our research (Mondays and Sundays excluded). The problem is, the Bibliothèque teems with les rats de bibliothèque. They are everywhere, at the Readers' Advisory Service, at the Pay desks, Reception desks, Haut-de-jardin, Rez-de-jardin, Inathèque, and rare books reserve! When we walk through the reading room, les rats stare at us viciously. And there is that big rat, who sits at the best table, covered with heaps of books; he has these huge whiskers, and big glasses with thick lenses, which makes his eyes look huge, and every time Eudoxia and I walk past his table he stares and moves his whiskers at us in a suggestive way, and looks like he wants to drill a hole in our spines with his stares! It scares us out of our wits - which means we are not able to research. What should we do?

Progressive Lenses and Blurriness?

So My Optometrist prescribed Progressive lenses. I was warned it would take time getting used to. I get them and have been wearing them for a couple days and I have the angles down, I mean I see how I need to point my nose at what I want to look at. I've gotten used to the magnification…

My problem is this, no matter what I'm looking at things still seem blurry. I'm driving and can't read all the signs, i.e. street signs and smaller signs. When I'm reading my iPad it's still blurry, no matter how I hold my head or peer through the lens, not so for regular books. And, When I'm on my laptop at work I can barely read the letters on the screen, i squint and move and rotate and still blurry as heck. I have also developed eye pain like someone is stabbing a needle in my eye shooting pain.Is this normal during the getting used to period for progressives?

Help finding contacts for my prescription?

I am having some difficulty finding monthly disposable lenses for my prescription online--specifically over at 800-contacts.My prescription is:

Spherical Cylindrical Axis
OD -4.25 -3.50 018
OS -5.00 -3.50 165

I'm not having any problem finding lenses that meet my Spherical requirements. But I can't seem to find anything that matches my Cylindrical or Axis. The best that I can find for Cylindrical is -2.25. And it looks like axis rounds by a factor of 10 (so no 18's or 165's).

Again, I'd like to find some monthly disposables that correct my astigmatism. The last lenses I ordered were Bausch and Lomb so I know I should be able to find something--I must be doing something wrong.

Any help is most appreciated!

Can wearing lower prescription glasses help improve my eyesight?

I've had my same pair of glasses since I was in high school. Now, five years later my doctor has renewed my prescription for higher power lenses.My question is, if I decide to ditch my contact lens (that are my right prescription,) and use my glasses instead, is there a chance of my overall eye sight improving?
Added (1). Quote: You were wearing your glasses, and your eyes got worse, right? So why would you think that continuing to wear those glasses would make your eyesight better?
My Reply: No, I wore my prescribed contact lenses while my vision continued to get worse. I never used my glasses. This is why I thought that maybe I could retrain my eyes; use the glasses that have a lower power and see if my eyes are able to adjust to that instead of being so dependent on my contacts.

When I got contacts, I said that once I'm used to them, I would like to try color contacts. I was told I could, but that I would need to be re-fitted.

I've been using contacts for quite a while, and I'm wondering -- do you have to be re-fitted for ANY change, or are changes within a brand alright?

I currently have Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus. If I'm switching to another Acuvue product, wouldn't the products be uniform in measurements?

Look at her eyes! Is that her natural eye color? I always hear that she has a pair of violet eyes but I always thought it was just a rumor.Do you think the violet/purple color of her eyes in that pic is real? Or do you think she wore contact lenses? Or perhaps the picture is photoshopped?

Speaking of which, do you think violet eye color truly exists? I'm not talking about violet as in due to light refraction or a variant of blue color, but I mean a real solid violet/purple color. Could there be such a color for human's eyes? The wikipedia article on "Eye color" also mentions about violet eye color but there are no sufficient details nor are there pictures.

She slays the sea of eyes that see her age.
There is no way to date that timeless dame,
That she does not obscure by means of fate,
Casting wise eyes like leaves into the wind,
She births herself anew with each new lens.

Wearing eyeglasses with an asymmetrical face?

I am recently wearing glasses full-time.My asymmetrical face bothered me to a point, but now the glasses look slanted because my right ear and eye are a little lower than the left. If I have the glasses fixed to go straight across, my right eye will be in the middle of the lens and look even worse. How can I deal with the slant look? Others say they don't see it but they aren't looking at it like I am.

What are the best daily contact lenses?

I'm currently using 1 day Acuvue TruEye contact lenses. I've only ever used this brand because that's what my optician gave me. I notice that my eyes get really dry, sore and red every time I wear them and was wondering if there are any better daily contact lenses than this brand. Preferably ones that you don't notice you're wearing. I usually wear mine for about 8 hours and when I take them out my eyes feel really itchy and dry.Is there anything better?

Had my Air Optix Night & Day contacts in for 2+ mths. Is it safe?

I usually wear my contacts for an extended amount of time. I've been kicked off of my Ma's eye care insurance so I'm trying to make my last 2 pair stretch until I can find a job with benefits.So far the ones I have in right now, I've worn for over 3mths (but occasionally I take them out and wear my glasses).Is it safe or am I treading on dangerous ground?

Why don't any other brand of contact lenses suit me?

PLEASE read this, i need help :(
so the first time i ever used contacts was around 6 months ago.i bought acuve moist and i wore them for the whole school year without a problem.

after my supply ran out, i went to India and i bought the contacts Baush and Lomb Soflens or whatever… my god they didn't suit me at all.they kepy slipping around my eye and made me wanna itch like crazy even after taking them out.plus, my eyes got super red!

then i went to a better known place there and got Air Optix contacts.while trying them out, the dude told me to put these comfort eye drops in my eyes.i wore that pair for the whole day and they didn't slip around.i couldn't even feel them! just like acuve moist!

but now i brought them to America with me and they bother me just the Soflens did! was it something is the comfort drops or is there something wrong with my eyes..? or is it just that acuve is somehow better?

p.s.the dude in the second store had told me Air Optix is a better contact than acuve ---

Can I Wear My Contact Lenses Every Day?

There are a lot of things I want to wear contacts for, like school, hobbies and going out because it's a lot easier than wearing glasses.At the moment I'm on trial and have a pair of monthly lenses, I can wear these for 12-13 hours a day.So due to my lifestyle should I wear them every day for say 6 hours everyday or wear them for around 11-12 hours every other day?
Added (1). It's not that I didn't pay attention, they just told me all of the information about everything at once, I tend to have a bad memory which doesn't help, and the booklet they gave me doesn't help

Wears contact lens for more than 24 hours?

So i was talking to this european dude, and he tells me that he doesn't take off his contact lenses. Sometimes till a week! He just wears it and sleep.Is that even possible??? And I don't think he is wearing those special lenses where you wear it and when you remove it, you would be able to see clearly.

Is it ok to rub and rinse contact lenses with saline solution?

I think it's fine because rubbing is meant to dislodge debris or buildup, and I still use regular cleaners like Complete to disinfect/store the lenses. But it seems like almost no one else does it, or at least talks about it.

(The reason I do it is because saline is much cheaper than disinfecting solutions.)

Will pet insurance cover cataract surgery?

I originally got pet insurance 1.5 years ago after my dog got a bad scratch on the lens of his right eye.It ended up costing us close to $1000 for the exams and ointments for his eye. We had his teeth cleaned today and while he was under I asked the doctor to look at his right eye because it has been looking foggy lately. She said she thinks he may be developing cataracts in that same right eye. Would this be something that the insurance would be likely to cover? He never has been diagnosed with cataracts before, would this be something the insurance would be likely to cover. We have petplan.
Added (1). Sorry I don't know if I made it clear that we got insurance after we paid for all the appointments dealing with the scratch on his eye. We have yet to use our insurance for the 1.5 years we've had it. I just don't know if that original scratch will count as a preexisting condition for cataracts.

Acuvue oasys toric 8.6 oasys, 14.0 diameter?

So my prescription says acuvue oasys toric… is that the same as acuvue oasys for astigmatism?
If so, I tried searching for those lens online but every website only sells them in 14.5 diameter. Are they not made with a 14.0 diameter… am I looking at the wrong one?
