Has anyone ever been told not to wear contacts for 3 months?

I went for a regular check up today and mentioned that I've had reduced contact lens tolerance and some blurred vision recently so I just thought my prescription needed changing. After putting dye in my eyes the optician said I had severe dry patches (like a pitted surface) on the centre of my corneas and that I should not wear contacts for three months.My eyes have been uncomfortable but I did not expect to have to stop wearing contacts. I've not heard of anyone being told this before so is it unusual?

Can I wear colored contact lenses that are not made for astigmatism?

Im looking to buy circle colored contact lenses (the kind that makes your irises look bigger), however the lenses specially made for astigmatism are too expensive for me. Can i wear normal contacts that arent made for astigmatism? The power of my clear contacts made for astigmatism is -2.00.

AM I ALLERGIC TO WEED?

I was at a show last night, My friend and I went to the bathroom and had a puff or two of weed from our pipe we'd just brought before people walked in, after this we went on a ride and so far I had no symptoms after I got off the ride my eyes started to burn and water and swell, by the way I wear contact lenses to see. I got onto the bus to leave back to where I live when my two mates noticed my face, it was extremely swollen so bad I look like a chinese freaking avatar. I joked about it for awhile until it got so bad my neck started to swell and affect my ability to swallow and breathe great. I've smoked weed countless times.My friend and I thought it was because the marijuana smoke got in my contacts then we got on the ride and the dust went in my eyes(I'm very slightly allergic to dust) and it all reacted. I had to go to hospital and have a needle in my 'bum' cheek and a needle in my arm, I was put on oxygen. I'm still badly swollen and all my face is puffy.My nose looks flatter and my eyes are extremely puffed up below and on top.Am I suddenly allergic to weed or is it just what I thought and how long will this *** take to stop swelling :( I miss my face. The doctors don't know I had weed or i'll get suspended from where I'm staying and so will my mate, so they just gave me medicine after all the needles and said it'll go away in a day or two but it's been almost two and no improvements.

Contact Lenses are irratating the right side of my right eye?

So I've been wearing contacts for 5 weeks now with no problem. But when I placed my contacts this morning, it was impossible for me to open my right eye. I felt scratching. I checked my contacts and there was no tear or any debris or anything. But my left eye is okay. What happened? Here's a picture of my right eye.

Will I be allowed entry into a night club on Halloween dressed like this?

Hi,
I'm 22, I don't look my age so I often get ID'd.
I'm planning on going out to a night club's fancy dress halloween event dressed up as a zombie.
I am going to be wearing white contact lenses and plan to use liquid latex to "zombify" my face.
I'm a little worried that the club wont be able to ID me because of all the makeup I'll be wearing, do you think they'll accept the fact that it's halloween and take my word when I tell them my DOB and show them my ID? (I wont look much like the guy in the photograph!)
I'm wondering how much makeup I can put on without risking my chances of being allowed entry.

Here's a photograph of me last year as an example of what I'll look like:

Are cosmetic colorlenses bad?

I have brown eyes, and occasionally I wear blue or green color lenses.
People around me always seem to have an opinion ready with supporting facts about why I shouldn't be wearing them.
I love my color lenses, because they make me feel like I'm a different person. But I care even more about my eyes.So that's why I want to know, what the bad side is to wearing cosmetic lenses?

I bought way too big circle lenses!

I recently went shopping with my dad and he bought me some circle lenses which I have been wanting for ages. But the next day when I put them on for the first time they looked REALLY strange and made me look like some demonic alien!
They are black, 18mm with a lace pattern. I really wanted big ones which I now realise was really stupid seeing as I have never worn contacts before, but I didn't expect them to be this huge! I think they wound be better with fake lashes and heavy eye makeup, but I don't know how to do it!

I don't know what to do now because they were really expensive and my dad will be mad if I never wear them! What should I do?

Special effects contact lenses, bad for your health myths?

I really want to buy some Special effects Halloween contact lenses, preferably the full eye lenses. I've heard that you can only wear for a few weeks at most and that these types of contacts are harmful to your eyes. I plan to buy then online specifically these( http://02a5349.netsolstores.com/deadeye.aspx ). For the price of $185.00 I can get one full eye contact, I don't mind if its a little expensive my concern would be safety first.So is it even worth buying. And yes I would wear it on other days besides Halloween, you know, just to freak people out.
Also if you can find an other website with the same quality and awesomeness I'd like to know, Thank You!

How thick are 25 prism glasses?

I just had a visit with my opthamologist and she prescribed me to update my prism lenses. I now need 25 prism lenses for both of my eyes base out. I understand and know how prisms work. However, how thick are 25 prism lenses for glasses? She told me they are going to be very bulky and very thick. I was wondering what they would look like and how thick exactly they will be?
Added (1). Foorprintz I did NOT what-so-ever misunderstand my opthamologist at all. I need 25 diopters of prism as in 25 power prism. Prism lenses range anywhere from 1-60 usually. A prism bends light. 1 prism is eqivilent to 1 cm. I need 25 prism diopter lenses. You are wrong.

Spectacle Prescription of sphere +0.25 and add +0.50. What does it mean?

So i went and got my eyes tested for the first time the other day and i came out a little confused. I am having some eye strain issues from working on my computer so often as well as doing detailed paintings and embroidery.

The optometrist said I was far sighted and gave me a prescription saying Sphere: +0.25 (in each eye) and Add +0.50 (for each eye). I had to leave the optometrist straight after test and it wasn't explained to me completely what this meant.So I went to check out those reading glasses at the chemist and they only have +1.00. Does my prescription mean i should wear +0.25 or +0.50 glasses.

Will using the +1.00 be bad for my eyes when using them for my computer and embroidery work?

Do actors wear contact lenses to play someone in glasses?

I was recently watching Alec Guinness in "Smiley's People". The glasses are a big thing of Smiley's persona, and it looks fake especially in HD if they have flat glass instead of real 3-diopter lenses or whatever, because real glasses distort the actor's face behind them.

So I wondered if normal-sighted actors might wear, say -3 diopter contacts and then +3 diopter glasses to look credible but still be able to see.

I have an astigmatism and my lens (or cornea) is diagonal in both eyes?

The doctor said I have 20/20 vision but I am near sighted in one eye and far sighted in the other. I can read things fine but I've been getting wicked headaches so I went to the eye doctor and he prescribed me glasses… but he said I dont need to wear them all the time but it would help. He said to definitely wear them when I'm in class, reading, watching tv, driving at night, and on the computer to help with the eye strain. He compared it to standing up in class for 2 hours… I dont need to sit down but it sure would feel nice… I dont need to wear the glasses all the time but it would be nice.My concern if I dont wear them all the time is: Will my eyes not adjust to the glasses? Will I continue getting headaches? I'm just looking for some advice from people in my situation… thanks in advance!

Bought contact lenses online?

I have never had or need contact lenses and have just bought some cool ones for a haloween costume online. They have been sent to me and are in little temporary popout type cases with water inside.
I have looked up how to insert them but everyone has separate cases, solutions and cleaners for the lenses. They say it is not safe to put them in if not cleaned from the solution but the lenses I bought did not come with anything but the temporary case of saline solution they are in.

Are they safe to put in or do I have to buy a case and solutions/ cleaners?

I can't stand wearing contact lenses anymore. Suggestions?

I have extremely bad vision (around 20/300) and have worn contact lenses for about 6 years now. However, since I've worn them they've given me nothing but trouble. There is the occasional period where I have no trouble with them, but I'd say at least 50% of my total time with contacts, they've been nearly unwearable due to causing constant irritation, pain, and even infections.

Early on I admittedly didn't take good care of my contacts, but over the last few years I've taken them out every night, cleaned them with saline solution, etc. (They're soft contact lenses.) But it seems like there is always something wrong with them, and many, many times I've "burnt through" several boxes of them (wasting money) due to a sudden bout of pain. I feel like I've had extremely bad luck with contacts, as my family and friends who wear them never have any problems at all, while here I am constantly having to take them out, only wear one, wear both and grit through the pain, etc. I've tried a few different brands of contacts, and all have brought middling results: sometimes fine, sometimes extremely irritating and/or excruciatingly painful.

In general, it's just been an extremely frustrating experience. I've had multiple bouts of pink-eye and eye infections, including an ongoing infection right now that has forced me to wear glasses since early September and will force me to wait another month until I can wear my lenses again. And although it doesn't strictly have to do with my contacts alone, there was even an episode towards the end of March to early April this year where my family accidentally bought me Clear Care solution instead of saline solution, and I burnt my eyes very badly with hydrogen peroxide, leaving my almost blind for over a week. (No lasting damage, though… thank god!) I feel like I've had just terrible luck with my contacts and eyes, and I'm sick of all the years of irritation and pain.

For the record, I do have glasses (like I mentioned above), but I don't prefer to wear them, as I play a sport and they're huge and dorky. I've been wearing glasses for a month and a half now, and while they're serviceable, I'd much rather avoid wearing them permanently.

So what are my options? Obviously there's Lasik surgery.Is this safe? I've looked into it somewhat (not that I would be able to afford it, because my family is poor) but the chance of complications occurring seems unclear to me. I mostly just need to vent right now, because I discovered yesterday how bad my current eye infection is and how long it will take before I can wear my lenses again.

Can I wear contacts with a high prescription?

I want to start wearing contacts, but I'm afraid that my current prescription will be too high. I think it is around -7.75 or something? Or -700, I'm not exactly sure… (the 700 is probably wrong). All I know is that I'm EXTREMELY near-sighted. I'm not kidding, I have to be like 10 centimeters close to read a book comfortably without my glasses.So yeah, maybe that will determine how bad my eyesight is… I know, I'm practically blind.

I want to wear them for sports and some special occasions like parties and such, I won't be wearing them all the time.Is safe for me to wear contacts with my current eyesight? I'd like to know what brands you would recommend to me, and the type (bi-weekly… etc). I heard Acuvue Oasys is pretty good. I haven't checked with my optician yet because I don't really have the time. And I'm 15, if my age matters and I started wearing glasses around grade 2 or 3. And I have astigamatism (blurry objects and words).

How to care for colored contacts? - 1

I ordered colored contacts from the UK the other day, to avoid the need of a prescription even when I don't need one, and all colored contacts are the same size.So. I don't see the point. Anyways.So I didn't get doctor specific instructions on how to care for them.
I know to change the case every few months
And the solution with every use
And to rub them befor and after
To wash my hands
To make sure my hands are dry because water contains bacteria
To never sleep with them
Etc

But my question is, are there any colored contact specific care instructions? Like any certain way to take care of the colored ones?
And
I heard that when you get them you have to let them sit for 8 hours in the case with contact solution, is this true? Or can I just use them after soaking them for say, an hour or two, maybe 3? Or even right away?

Also
I bought Opti-free replenish, is this good stuff? And should I buy separate eye drops for when my eyes feel dry or can I use this stuff?

Any tips for colored contacts would be great! They're not natural looking ones so I don't want the bashing for trying to change my eye color and what not. They're meant to freak people out(:

Do Geo Contact Lenses Expire?

I bought a pair of bright blue Geo contact lenses online for a Halloween costume. I was talking to my friend about next Halloween and that I wanted to do a costume where I could wear my contacts again, but she said that they would probably expire before then. I wear prescription contacts daily to see and by my knowledge contacts last until you tear them, I have never heard of them expiring before.So, my question is, is it true that they can expire? whats different about them that makes them expire? and how long do they usually last if I only wear them a few times a year?

I can pick out shapes of some of the letters and generally seems sharper but just can't see it enough to read them without wasting several minutes of squinting and just guessing. I don't know what to do. Go to another opticians? Go to the doctors and see if they can pick up anything wrong? Also would thinning glass lenses effect how much I can see from a longer distance? I'm coming up to my driving test soon so I need to get this sorted and it is important to me that I can get driving for my career.

Can I still attract guys in Japan even if Im not super fashionable like the girls there?

I'm a Japanese girl whose lived in Canada most her life. I recently came back to Japan with my family.To my surprise practically all the girls here dress so fashionably and girly and pretty.

They all dye their hair into different shades of brown or blond. (often brown and I admit they look nice)
They seem to spend a lot of time into their hair to either straiten it stick straight or curly.and coloured contact lenses. And quite a lot of makeup but they do look pretty!
A lot of them a slender and they ALL wear high heels and platform shoes. Their clothes are so bright, sexy and girly.

I have a pretty face and I'm 5'7 and quite skinny. I don't have trouble attracting guys but coming to Japan I was extremely shocked how 70/100 of girls were very pretty.
All are skinny and hair is perfect, face done nicely with makeup and sexy or cute outfits.
I kind of dress simply like girls do in Canada. I only have a streak of a brown highlight in my hair that I did for fun a year ago, I don't know how to do makeup (just basic mascara) I have thick nice hair that looks fine but compared to the girls here i feel so insecure. (I'm not kidding they all do their makeup and hair like they are going to a photoshoot)

I dress nicely and I have a nice slender body and long legs.and I have a naturally beautiful face (been told, don't want to seem vain lol) I like how I dress but seeing these girls I feel so plain and invisible.

Like no matter where I look I see pretty japanese girls (sure they may look different without makeup but with it many of them are quite cute)
And I was thinking sometimes "what kind of guys would date such materialistic girls?" but to my surprise these girls are often the ones with boyfriends. I go to a mall and there are couples everywhere.

Why Do I see 2 Circles Around Every Light I See?

It's both annoying and scary. I have myopia. 1, 25 on the right eye and 1, 00 on the left eye. I wear contact lenses 2 months now. With my first pair of contact lenses I had no problem at all and I could see perfectly. When they expired, I went to the shop to buy a new pair. When I tried them I noticed something real strange. I could see 2 circles around every light I saw. I also noticed I saw them only from my left eye.So, I went to the shop again and they gave me a new one for the left eye and guess what. Still seeing the circles. They eventually gave me a new pair and again, 2 circles around every light from the left eye. I carried out several experiments at home and when I switched each eye's lens I could see the circles from the right eye now. What the hell? Is it possible for the myopia to increase in one day? Oh yeah, something that really drives me nuts is that when I wear my spectacles I see ALL RIGHT from both eyes. I'll consult my doctor in some days besides the fact that I will pay the enormous amount of 20€ for just an eye check. Any suggestions?

How long is an 10 inch tutu skirt?

I'm looking for a Halloween costume, preferably ''Playboy Bunny''. I'm planning on putting in contact lenses, and using fake blood also. However I'm still not sure on what sort of costume to get, as I don't want to show too much flesh below the waist. I've found a moulin rouge black corset & tutu set but the tutu is of around 10-11 inches, I was wondering, for my height (5'5'') how short this would actually be. I want to keep some modesty so I'll be wearing tights, and maybe short black hotpants also but I really don't want to show too much so any ideas on how short it will be will be greatly appreciated

Is there a big difference between 170 and 0 (180) degrees on an eyeglass prescription?

I went to the doctor today and he gave me a prescription which is a tad different from the one he gave me one year and a half ago - the axis on the cylindrical lens for my right eye is now 170 degrees, compared to 0 (180) on the first prescription; the axis on the left eye is still 0.

It doesn't bother me when speaking of glasses, but on contact lenses I would have like to have the same prescription for both eyes. Can I order glasses with 170 degrees for my right eye and wear contacts with 180 for both or will this cause some problems?

Thanks !
Added (1). The prescription is:
Right eye: -1.00 spherical, -0.75 cyl, axis 170
Left eye: -1.00 spherical, -0.75 cyl axis 0

It's the first time I get a prescription for cylindrical contact lenses because until now I've had a -0.50 cyl, which isn't available on contact lenses.

I've been wearing glasses with -1.00 sph, -0.50 cyl, axis 0 (180) for a year and a half and I haven't had any problems, that's why I'm a little bit concerned about the axis change.

Pain behind left eye?

Most of the day I've got a pressure type pain behind my left eye, which hurts particularly if I look up and I've had it for several weeks now. I'm currently going through some issues and I've been restricting my calories to around 600-800 calories a day for several months now (I'm seeing a therapist).

I already have a pair of glasses and I had the lenses on them thinned. I got those high index 1.67 lenses. I have a prescription of about --4.50 or more.

Cursed with eye strain forever?

From the very beginning of time, I have had this huge eye strain problem when using computers.

However, more than eyestrain, I tend to get a kind of headache on computer use.It's not really a headache, but more of a feeling of whole head being weighed down by something.It feels like my whole head has gotten heavier, and it really hinders my concentration. After spending more than 45 minutes on the computer, I'm unable to concentrate on anything at all.

When I spend close to two hours on the computer on an evening, I feel really spaced out the next morning. I'm able to attend college, but the whole day is really uncomfortable. And social interactions are much more difficult. I'm already shy with girls. This tends to make interactions with them really awkward, and so I try to avoid them altogether.

I really love gaming, and I've heard of people spending as much as 2 hours continuously playing games without experiencing any eyestrain at all. I'm really envious of them. :(

P.S. I wear glasses. The lenses are correct and I check every year.

Please tell me what I should do.Do I have any other choice other than to cut down on computer use altogether?

When will I receive my lenses?

I ordered colored circle lenses on October 5, 2012.My payment was received and confirmed. Upon the confirmation I got an email from the website stating the status of my order.It is also recorded on their website when I sign in.It said that it had been shipped.It also had the tracking number for the order so I have no doubt in my mind that this is a fake website or any scam. Anyways, they did say it will take about 8-12 days for my order to arrive because it is being shipped out from Hong Kong. I went on USPS.com and the most recent update is that my order has been processed through sort facility (ISC New York NY USPS), And the feature says registered mail.So my question is, does anyone know exactly or approximately how many more days I have to wait to receive my order?

My doctor gave me toric lenses as a trial, they fit fine but I would like to get a pair of circle lenses

The diameter and base curve for the circle lenses are the same as my prescription but they do not correct the astigmatism. I was wondering if it would be the same prescription just without the help for astigmatism? And do i have moderate or slight astigmatism?
Added (1). Thank you for replying and I meant circle lenses as in the ones that are used to give the eyes a larger appearance.

The reason I wanted spherical lenses is because I was told I had a slight astigmatism that I might not need toric lenses… also because the cost is less for regular lenses.

BUT I did want circle lenses because of the cosmetic effect for halloween and a couple of halloween parties. The only problem is that I want to be able to wear them, not hurt my vision, and see.

What can be the reason one eye is weaker w/ corrective lens but stronger w/o?

I've had glasses/contacts for 12 years (since I was 14) and my prescription has remained fairly stable.My prescription is currently considered mild with it being around -1.50, depending on the doctor.

In the last week I've noticed while wearing corrective lens, my right eye isn't seeing as sharp as my left eye anymore.It's actually my slightly stronger eye, and without glasses/contacts on it has sharper vision than my left eye. This isn't affecting my ability to work or anything, just something mild I noticed. What could be the reason for this? Astigmatism possibly?

I haven't gone to the doctor yet as it's only been a few days, isn't a drastic difference, and I just went to the eye doctor a few months ago.

Ok, so I had to go to my dads house for the weekend and I forgot I had my contact lenses on, so I didn't bring my case. Eventually when I realized I had them on, I remembered I didn't bring my case, so my dad used two cups for a case substitute since he didn't have any extra cases of his.So I took them out and went to sleep. The next morning I woke up and went to put them on. The left one was there and I had put it on, but the right one disappeared? I looked everywhere. Around the sink area, double checked both cups, looked around the area of the bathroom, checked my eye, everything. I'm just wondering if there are any other possible places where it could be?

Contact lenses starting to become annoying?

I don't even know what my actual question is to be honest… I've been wearing daily disposables for about a month now but instead of becoming a pro at putting them in, it's taking me longer each morning! It's so annoying. I do everything the same but the contacts don't want to stick in my eyes and then they flip out so I become even more confused on which way they are… not to mention this makes me late nearly every morning.

One day I didn't wear contacts and wow you can really see the difference without them, they are so much better than glasses (well for me anyway).
My other problem is that unless it's broad daylight I can't see the lenses in my eye to take them out? I get the first contact out fine (by sliding it down to the white part) but with the other contact it's really hard because I can't see if I've slide it down…

anyone face these issues or is it just me lol

How to keep my contact lens from moving?

Can daily disposable lenses be worn more that once?

I have recently purchased some daily silicone hyrogel contact lenses from Specsavers. I'm wondering if I can wear them for longer than a day and if not, why? I've heard some daily lenses are the same as the fortnightly ones, just in different packaging.

Can an Optometrist refuse to give you a perscription?

Can an Optometrist refuse to give you a perscription?
After my recent trip to the optometrist to get contact lenses, my mom asked them for my prescription because she was hoping to get my lenses elsewhere. However they said that my eyes has certain special conditions such as astigmatism so it wasn't possible to get the lenses elsewhere. And they wouldn't give me my prescription. I am extremely suspicious of this cause it seems like they're trying to make more money off of us. The price they're asking seems really crazy expensive. Its 150 for a 6 month supply, and this is with my family's health insurance applied.

Contact Lenses going blurry?

So I got my contacts about a year ago and I use acuvue 2 or oasis or something along the lines of that. A few days ago I cleaned my room (finally lol) and it was really dusty.My contacts got all irritated and itchy. I itched my eyes and it got all horrible and started hurting my eyes so I stopped itching and took out my contacts and put in some visene and kept my eyes closed for a while and it went away. I put in my contacts the next day and by 2nd period (about 3 hours after put my contacts in) my eyes started going blurry.It was in one eye, it would get better than worse, sometime in both eyes, sometimes switching, and at a few instances it would just be like I had no contacts in and my eyes where totally naked. I was in school so it wasn't like I could just go to the bathroom and take the lenses out and wash up.So by 9th period, I started reading (focusing my eyes and whatnot) and my eyes got better within 10 minutes. I have no idea why this happened, but I don't want it to happen again. I put in a new sent of lenses two days later (but surprisingly the day after the whole blurry thing i put my contacts in and it didn't happen). What happened? How can I prevent it?

How to deal with my contact lenses on a road trip?

I'm going on a long road trip soon, at least twelve hours of driving. I wear contact lenses and I'd like to just pop them in when I wake up without stopping. Can I put solution on my hands to clean them before putting my lenses in? I'm not wearing glasses in the car, they give me a huge headache. Will the solution clean my hands enough that my lenses have less chance of being infected?
