How are progressive lenses better?

I have distance vision number of 0.5 and near vision of 1.0 in both eyes. I work 10 hours on computer every day. Should I go for progressive lens? What are the advantages?
Added (1). Distance Number is -0, 5

Actually want to know that whether progressive lens will help me in viewing my computer better or buying a seperate set of +1 specs is good for computer viewing.My optician suggested that progressive lenses have been made keeping the requirement of computer users in mind.

Contacts are really hard to get out!

Hey, guys! I just got contacts two days ago, and as you're thinking, "Oh course you're going to have trouble at first!" Well, when I was at the optometrist they told me to try to put them in and I did it fairly quickly with not much trouble, then about 30 mins later they told me to take them out and it was SUPER EASY. I put them back in pretty quick, then left.
When I tried taking them out at home, it was extremely difficult and took about an hour to get them both out of my eyes for the day. They were in there for about… 3 hours, I'd say?
Then yesterday right after school at about 4 I put them in which took about 25 minutes (I also had makeup on, making it a bit harder) then at about 1 AM I grew tired and decided to take them out for bed. I have a magnifying mirror and a chair I sat at for about 45 minutes and I couldn't get them out and grew extremely angry and upset, so I took a break and relaxed to calm myself down. Afterward, I tried again after putting a little bit of Opti-Free in my eyes which didn't help. After about 15 more minutes my brother cleaned his hands really good and tried getting them out gently, and he couldn't get them out either. Then he put a drop of Opti-Free in my eye and after 5 minutes the right side contact came out, but the left one wouldn't budge. We put 2 drops of Opti-Free in it and it just irritated my eye and made it slightly red. We put a little bit of Bio-True in the eye and the irritation went down and about 20 minutes later he got it out, we put the lenses in the Opti-Free solution in the case because Bio-True isn't a cleanser, it's just lubricant eye drops my optometrist gave me. I haven't put them in yet today, but I was wondering if I could have tips on getting them out?
Also, I have A. Oasis soft lenses if that helps. I'm kind of squeamish and touching my eyes doesn't help.e. e
Thanks guys for your answers in advanced!

Is it possible for contact lenses to change eye color?

I wear normal (uncolored) prescription contact lenses. I just got back home and took them off (after a long day of taking The SAT). I notice that my eye color suddenly turned lighter.It was very very dark brown before. Now it's like a lighter brown.Do u think I'm crazy or is it possible for it to change eye color? Or am i just like hallucinating from the test (my eyes were extremely dry during the entire 4 hours)

I got eyeliner on my contacts.?

Yesterday I bought my first liquid eyeliner and decided to try it out today.

So this morning I put some on the inner ring of my eye, and the eyeliner ran onto my eyeball… and my contact lenses.

When I look there was a slight black water line on my eyeball, but after a few blinks it had gone.

I took my lenses out just now and they look perfectly normal, but I'm still anxious.

Have I damaged my contact lenses? This is a brand new pair and I can't put another in for a month, but I want to know so I can remember in the future to put my eyeliner on before my contacts…

Can i join the military with my vision?

I am interested in joining the military my vision is horrible.My prescription is
6.25 + .75 x 90 the guidelines and rules to pass the vision requirements are below

The causes for rejection for appointment, enlistment, and induction are:

a. Distant visual acuity of any degree that does not correct with spectacle lenses to at least one of the following:

(1) 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye.

(2) 20/30 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye.

(3) 20/20 in one eye and 20/400 in the other eye. However, for entrance into USMA or ROTC, distant visual acuity that does not correct to 20/20 in one eye and 20/40 in the other eye is disqualifying. For entrance into OCS, distant visual acuity that does not correct to 20/20 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye is disqualifying.

b. Near visual acuity of any degree that does not correct to 20/40 in the better eye.

c. Refractive error (hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism), in any spherical equivalent of worse than -8.00 or +8.00 diopters; if ordinary spectacles cause discomfort by reason of ghost images or prismatic displacement; or if corrected by orthokeratology or keratorefractive surgery.

Can I use expired contact lens solution?

How to tell if I actually have astigmatism?

I got diagnosed with astigmatism awhile ago. Since then I have gotten Aqua Clear Toric contact lenses for astigmatism. The problem is that when I put them in they burn. Then through out some parts of the day I can feel them and it's not very pleasant. They also make keep making my eyes unfocused.It's uncomfortable since I keep trying to work but all I get is blurryness. The worst part is that since I've gotten these contacts for astigmatism my eyes have been red! All the time! I do tend to wear them for a long time but I used to do the same thing with my other contact lenses (Acuve Oasis) and they would be completely fine. I would put them in and I would completely forget about them till the end of the day.My eyes have NEVER acted like this before and I've been wearing contacts for over 5 years before this.

So I just want to know why I'm having all these problems and if they're normal.

Where can I get good colored contacts?

A lot of my friends have these cool colored contacts that they ordered and I really want to get a pair. I want to get a really dark green since everyone wants me to get that color. But the problem is I don't know any sites that sell trusted color lenses. I also don't want to spend more than $20 since all my friends paid only $15 for theirs.

So whats a good site that sells trusted color contacts and has a very nice deep green color. Please no Amazon ordering or Ebay. Anything else than those are alright. The link below shows how dark of a green I want.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coloured-Contact-Lenses-Free-Solution/dp/B002L285V6/ref=sr_1_1?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1354319194&sr=1-1
Added (1). If I still can't find any good sites I might just call my eye clinic and see if they can recommend any sites or just order from them. Just chances are they won't have the dark green I want.

Oh and I really want a gold color like the ones from Twilight.My friend loves that movie series and says I am her vampire man, so she wants me to get a pair of gold lenses. Again please make sure they are under $20 and are from a trusted site.

What happens when my online order has the wrong address?

I ordered contact lenses online and they sent me an email saying my package has been shipped. I noticed my address in the email was wrong.correct city and zip code just wrong house number…

i called USPS but the lady who answered didn't seem to understand me and she said nothing could be done.

Is there anyway I can pick up the package once it reaches my local USPS office? or will they just send it back to the company?

Contact lenses feel weird?

Hi everyone…

I just got my contacts on Saturday… I put them in again on monday for about 20 seconds but they felt funny so I took them out…

I just put them in a couple of minute ago and they feel very strange! I can feel them on my eye and I can feel them touching my bottom lid.It feels like they are moving around on my eye, actually… if I blink to quickly or if I look down it would be a little blurry…

Is this normal? Its not because the contacts have crinkles or anything because I already took them out and put them back in.

I put them in and rolled my eyes twice, looked down, closed my eye and gently pressed on my eyelid…

It almost feels like they are too big?

Being able to read line 8 on the Snellen Eye Chart?

So I recently got glasses and I was trying to test them out using the Snellen Eye Chart. They say that at 20 feet, you should be able to read line 8 to be considered normal. I tried this out, and while I was able to say what the letters are correctly, I didn't say them because I could CLEARLY see what letters they were. I could make out the basic shapes to know what letter it is, but otherwise I can't see distinct edges, especially on the inside. For example, I can't clearly see the "middle line" in the letter "E". The middle line is shorter as a result of the font that the chart uses, so the line is almost invisible to me at 20 feet. I can also tell when I'm looking at the letter "F" and not simply an enlarged "r" just because I know the chart is all capital letters.

Is this normal or do I need to have my eye doctor reassess the lenses for my glasses?

What kind of circle lenses make your eyes look bigger?

Do I really need glasses?

My eyes have been burning recently whenever I am in my office probably because I stare at my computer for up to 10-11 hours per day. After a while of this i got my eyes checked and the doctor said I am far sighted in one eye and near sighted in another.

My prescription is +25 and -75… and the doctor recommened anti reflective lenses. I've heard that the perceriptions values (+25, -75) mean my eyes are not that bad, so is it really worth it to spend money on a pair of glasses in the hopes that it will reduce or eliminate the burning in my eyes?

How would you spell this girl name?

Madelyn, Madeline, or Madeleine.

I really liked Madelyn because when you look at it, you KNOW its suppose to be pronounced Mad-uh-lynn. Madeline is how I use to spell it on my fav name list, but when I asked people they would get confused on how to pronounce it (Mad-uh-line or Mad-uh-lynn). Madeleine is appealing to the eye, but I heard it pronounced a little differently, especially with my family in France. They pronounce it Mad-len (no uh in it and len like the beginning of the name Lenny), but everyone where I live seems to pronounce Madeleine like Mad-uh-lynn.

So my question is how would YOU spell it?

Ortho k lens stopped working?

I will not explain what orthokeratology is, because I'm assuming the people answering the question already know about it. What help would a person who knew nothing about it give?

Anyways, I wear it every night, never skipping.My eyesight it pretty bad, last time I checked, -2.75 and -3.5 =_=
Anyways one day with my contacts on in bed I closed my left and right eyes and one of them seemed like the books were blurrier. The nights after that, it looked the same, so I just dismissed it.
And then today… in my last period class, the board looked kind of blurry. I put my contacts on for around an hour or two, then took them off, hoping that it would go back to normal vision. A little difference after I took it off but they were still blurry. I'm wearing it now, in hope that extra time would help.
I found this website after searching around:
http://www.clspectrum.com/articleviewer.aspx?articleid=12488
I'm not sure if it is the same regular myopia ortho k lens they are talking about or not, but do you think the reason is because my myopia has increased? or the lens got steeper? or is it overnight decentration? or back surface deposits? I have no clue. I haven't had an eye appointment in a long time, so I want to go this weekend. Please share your thoughts though. I don't want my eyesight to become worse, that's why I wore these in the first place! =_= Anywayz another day (before today) I noticed the board was a little blurry in my last class, but I told my self it was adjusting near and far because I was using the computer, because like a minute later it was clear again… so those were the 3 times I noticed it…
Added (1). Btw now I took them off… now far vision seem to be fine but not close vision? not sure how to describe it… less like it's blurry but like close things are covered in a haze/hard to focus on. WHAT ARE THESE LENSES DOING TO MY EYES!

New contact lens wearer.my right eye hurts when I wear contacts?

I got my contacts Saturday for the first time.As of today, my left eye is fine when I wear my contacts, but my right eye feels like there's an eyelash hitting the top of my eye? Like the upper whites of my eye. I tried using eye drops, and my right eye is okay for awhile and then gets uncomfortable again. Should I wait a week and then see my eye doctor?

Which Twilight Volturi 'contact lenses' to get?

Hey,
So I am going to a Twilight themed party thing and wanted to go as a Volturi Vampire.
Since there will be quite a few doing the same, I wanted to get something that will make me stand out from the crowd…
This is where the contact lenses come in.

I decided to buy from youknowit.com since they seem to have a good reputation but there are THREE different brands of the same style lenses.
I want to get the ones, regardless of price, that look the most realistic compared with the film itself but since they don't really have any screenshots of real people wearing them, I cannot make this judgement.

So what would you purchase in my situation? (and remember I don't mind about price, only looks)

SHAMPOO AND EYELINER ON MY CONTACT LENSES!

OMG so I just had a shower, and because I am very wary and cautious of the risks of showering with contact lenses on, I take them off and place them in their cases with solution in while I'm in the shower.
So today, I had eyeliner on the really thick black one (with kajol so like really inky) and then when i took my contacts off to place them in the case, the left contact came out with a bit of the black inky eyeliner on it! Me being a cautiounous freak am really really worried about what this might do to my lenses and my eyes if I were to put them again into my eyes (my lenses are monthly disposables by the way [CooperVision Biofinity to be exact] ) Not only this, but the black ink got smeared all over my left contact lense cases and so I was freaking out about this as well, but then I just used my fingers and lens solution to scrub the black ink out of the case (is this safe???)
And to add to this, because I was so worked up about the black ink on my contacts, I washed my hands with soap and rushedly wiped my hands but didn't realise that I hadn't wiped them properly! So when I took my contacts into the palm of my left hand and started to do the disinfecting procedure(you know rub in circular motion with finger) the solution rubbed off onto my hand (obviously) and the soap that hadn't been washed off seeped into my contact lenses!!! ARGHHH I am super frustrated now and don't know what I should do!
Right now, I'm wearing my spare pair of glasses (thank god i had them!) but what ive done is just put my two contacts in their cases with new multipurpose contact solution and am going to leave them in overnight until the black eyeliner ink and soap go away from both contacts hopefully!
Does this seem like a legitimate thing to do, or should I do something more to reduce the chances of infection to the contacts???

Coopervision Contact Lenses: Biofinity or Proclear?

Hey guys!

Currently, I am on trial with Coopervision Biofinity Monthly lenses. But these lenses are slighlty more expensive than the Coopervision Proclear Lenses! (and the expense of the contacts is top priority for me when it comes to choosing which lenses since I know they can get very expensive, even a few dollars makes a difference for the whole year!)

By the way if you have no idea about these lenses here are the descriptions straight from the Coopervision website:
BIOFINITY MONTHLIES:
Premium contact lenses. Luxurious extended-wear comfort.

You need your nearsighted or farsighted vision corrected. You also demand contacts with comfort that lasts all day, from your first morning cup to going out with friends until midnight.

Meet Biofinity®, the silicone hydrogel contact lenses that won't slow down your busy days.

Biofinity lenses offer you the premium level of comfort that you're searching for. You're free to wear them for up to 7 days in a row.

Their soft, flexible lenses allow plenty of oxygen to pass through to your eyes, and the natural wettability won't rinse off, thanks to our Aquaform® Technology. You'll enjoy comfortable, excellent vision as well as a healthier lens-wearing experience.

Don't settle for just contacts, demand Biofinity comfort. Ask your eye doctor about Biofinity contact lenses (pronounced Bi-OH-fin-itee).

PROCLEAR SPHERE MONTHLIES:
Monthly contacts for nearsightedness or farsightedness

When it comes to correcting blurry nearsighted or farsighted vision, all contact lenses are the same, right? Not so!

Unlike some lenses that may have your eyes feeling itchy and dry after you've worn contacts for only a short time, Proclear® sphere contacts go the distance—helping the lenses stay moist and comfortable.

This exceptional level of comfort in Proclear sphere is made possible by PC Technology™, which imitates substances found naturally on the outside of every cell—including those in the human eye. These molecules attract and surround themselves with water, keeping Proclear sphere contacts moist and comfortable throughout your day.

Ask your eye doctor about Proclear sphere contact lenses (pronounced "Pro-kleer sfear").

I've read the description for both lenses on the Coopervision website and it seems that apparently the Biofinity lenses allow more oxygen to pass through and that you're allowed to wear them for 7 days straight! (Something that my optometrist didn't inform me about O. o ) but I am quite sure that the water content for the Biofinity is much lower than the CooperVision Proclear. The Biofinity is also made out of silicone hydrogel(what effect does this have?), but I'm not too sure about what the Proclear is made of?

Well, so before the optometrist gave me these Biofinity trials, he gave me the Air Optix lenses, which made my eyes get dry quite fast. He said that apparently the Biofinity lenses allow my eyes to stay moist and comfortable, but it doesn't make sense because the Proclear has very high water content! (more than 60% )
I wouldn't need to make a fuss because I love the Biofinity lenses since they are much more comfortable than the Air Optix Aqua for my eyes, however the Proclear is much more cheap and my mum is only willing to get me Proclear if I'm going to change to contacts permanently! ><

So my question is: Will it make much of a difference if once the trial is over, I decided to buy the Coopervision Proclears instead of the Biofinity? Would my eyes feel more comfortable with them or what would be the effect? Or should I just ask my optometrist for a monthly trial of the Proclear before buying them? (this is obviously the wisest option but the thing is the Biofinity are my 2nd lot of monthly trials and I think my optometrist will be quite peeved if I continue to ask for trials of different lenses!!)
I was also wondering, why would it make such a big difference anyway since they're both from the same manufacturer and one ca expect similar properties for both lenses right?

Thinking of changing to contacts soon for everyday wear?

Hey Everyone~

Ok, so I've been wearing glasses since fifth grade and they've been fine, but you know now that I think about it, I'm in year 9 now, I'm thinking: why not change to contacts? i've heard that it gives better peripheral vision, easier to play sports (convenient for me).So now Ive been on trial for monthly lenses and todays around my 6th day wearing them. I really do like them much better than glasses, but now that I look back on a typical day out of these six days, I realise that I have actually been wearing them from 6:30 am until 10pm daily.At first I thought everyone wears contacts like this right?
But then I've read some answers about how long you should be wearing them and people are saying that 8-10 hours is the max! How is this possible though? Why aren't I allowed to wear it for a full day like I would with my glasses? Ok, I know the answer to that-because it doesn't allow a great flow of oxygen to my eyes, but I was just frustrated upon reading that answer, because my optometrist has not advised me of a maximum time that I must wear them until I have to remove them again!
SO, my question is: To the people who don't have a spare pair of glasses handy after the 8-10 hours of contact lenses wearing, what do you guys do? Do you just leave your contacts in regardless of time limit? If so, have there been any noticeable side effects or comments made by your optometrist on the latest checkup?
I started to get worried because occassionally my left eye would feel like its been straining both when I have my contacts in my eyes and when I take them out! My eyes never used to strain before these trial contacts, so i dont know whats wrong. Don't answer saying that my eyes needed to adjust progressively to the contacts(wearing them 1 hour first day, then 2 hrs next day etc) because I was wearing one day daily disposables before I got the monthlies trial and nothing seemed to happen back then!

THANKS HEAPS IN ADVANCE TO ANYONE WHO ANSWERS MY QUESTION :D

Why are screens are blurry with contact lenses?

I am 15 years old and I just got a trial pair contacts a day ago and everything seems to be fine with them except for looking at screens like computer screens, phones, etc.(TV's seem to be okay for some reason). The screen is really blurry and I can't seem to be able to focus on it. Everything else including reading books seem to be fine though. Also I have found that covering up one eye or making binocular shapes with my hands and looking through those at my computer seems to help me focus on the screen and not blur up. I know it's not a problem with me not blinking enough cause I have a tendency to blink often.Is this because I just started up on my contacts or is it because of the brand (which I have no idea what brand the trial pairs are). Also I have astigmatism in one eye but I don't think that's the problem.
Added (1). My doctor show me that my astigmitism hasn't changed at all since my last check-up and that it stayed at a 1.00(I have on idea what that number means and don't remember if it was positive or negative).

Concealer for undereye circles? HELP!

I have terrible undereye circles.It's like a purple bruise line under each eye. I'm 16 and have had glasses for 4 years but tomorrow I'm getting contact lenses.My glasses kind of hid my circles, and I used GOSH concealer, it wasn't brilliant - it was okay. Please give me some names of good drugstore (fairly cheap) concealers that will completely hide my circles? I have fair skin, not dry just normal, no freckles, if any of that helps.

Whats wrong with my eyes lately?

I've worn disposable contacts since I was 16. The acuvue oasis brand. I am 26 now and recently I have been having terrible problems. I accidentally fell asleep with them in last night.So I took them out and rinsed them off and put them back in for the day. I have done this before with no problems. Now all day it has felt like sand in my eye and all this stringy off white goo has been coming out. After I pull the goo out my eye will feel better for about 20 minutes until my eye makes more good that hurts my eye. Its like sleepy before it hardens. I had to take my contacts out because they kept sticking to my eyelid and going up into my eye.Is this from dryness? Its not pink eye cause it doesn't itch and my eye is not pink. I kept putting the contact solution in my eye to see if I could wash whatever was in there out but now it just hurts more. HELP!

Do I look like a good Prussia cosplayer? Parent problems.?

I am going to be getting a Prussia wig but I am not sure that I look much like him. I am as pale as him but I think I look quite feminine.
I also have some problems with the costume and the eyes.My mother said that if I got the costume my dad would kill me because of the Iron cross. He obviously wouldn't kill me but he would be very very angry. I'm not sure my parents like Germany very much. Other than the Iron cross, I think i would be able to get the costume but I don't think I would be allowed red contact lenses either.
What are some things I could say to my parents to convince them to let me get red contact lenses and the costume.

Hard Lens contacts - People say the way I stare or look at things are awkward?

So I have hard lens contacts, when I first got them, my mom was asking why I look at things or stare or blink so different?

Hello
I went to get an eye exam today at Walmart to get contact lens since I already got eye glasses past feb so the exam for eye/glasses / contact 110 and since its my 1st time for contact they will teach me total cost 130 was an other fee of 35.

How to stop blinking while putting in contacts?

Hi, i'm curious about how to stop blinking while putting on contacts.

i went to the optician's on friday, and i was able to put both contacts in and out of my eye once.but it took 1 hour and 20 minutes because i kept on blinking.

i have to look at the contact with the method that she's teaching me, and i can open my eye wide enough, but whenever it's just about to touch my eye i seem to lose control of my upper eyelashes and blink.

do you have any tips or ways that i can keep a stronger hold on my lashes? i think i'm going back tomorrow, but i have to get the lenses in and out of my eyes three times before i'm allowed to keep them.

thanks :)

Over 50's trying out contact lenses?

I am female, mid 50's and have tried to come to grips with contact lenses which has taken over a year, just taking my time to try to put trial ones in now and then with some difficulty and gentle coaching. This hasn't been often, only every few months have I given it a go and managed to get them in and out and same again. However I've developed mild blepheritis recently and I think perhaps they're not for me really now (perhaps). Just using one drop of Johnson's baby shampoo and cooled boiled water in an eye bath for a few seconds daily. Doc says too it's linked to rosecea that I've always had. Think the few trials I've done now'n then have probably triggered this. I've been told an anti-biotic cream or tablets might be in order (don't fancy tablets as not too keen on taking them for such a thing unless really necessary). I'm hoping that this will eventually settle down - just feels sometimes like a mild lash in the eye and almost feels like going across to other eye. Hope it goes away and now thinking the lenses not for me really (may have been a little fool-hardy to try but I did think it was worth it just to try circa 18 months ago). I wonder if there are any others who've got blepheritis (hormonal condition type of this due to age I'm told) and how it all pans out.It's a little uncomfortable and it'd be good to hear someone who knows about such things saying that it'll settle down. Thanks!

Does violet eye color really exist?

Do you think violet eye color truly exists? I'm talking about natural eye color of course, NOT contact lens; and I'm not talking about violet as in due to light refraction or a variant of dark blue color, but a real solid violet/purple color. Could there be such color for human eyes?

I often hear that Hollywood actress, Elizabeth Taylor, is said to have violet/purple eyes. Here are some of her close-up pics when she was young where her eyes look very visible:
Pic 1: http://www.audiolibra.com/images/lg_sn5658.jpg
Pic 2: image
Pic 3: image
On the 1st pic, her eyes look touched-up/enhanced to me (I don't know if colored lenses have already been invented back then), I don't think it's real. The 2nd pic may be genuine, but her eyes there don't look all that violet/purple to me.It looks rather dark blue, don't you think? But the 3rd pic looks kinda purple to me. I'm not sure, though…

Wikipedia has an article on human eye color where, as I remember, it once listed violet, but now the violet color section has been removed. Here's the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color

I also once read on the internet that violet eye color can be found among people who live in the high altitude areas of Kashmir, Afghanistan and Hungary, but so far I haven't found any articles, literature or pictures to proof that statement.

So I'm wondering, is there such thing as violet/purple eye color? Has anyone here ever met people with 100% real violet/purple eye color? Do you think such color may exist on human's eyes? And for those of you who say that violet/purple eye color DOES exist, could you please provide me with your source or pics? Thanks!

How to convince my parents to get contact lenses? - 1

I've had glasses since 5th grade and now that i'm in 11th grade, I think it's time for contacts. I never actually wore my glasses because I don't like them.My vision is just getting worst.My optometrist says that I should get contacts if I don't wear my glasses. He wanted to schedule an appointment for contact lens fitting but my parents said they would think about it. When we were right outside, they straight out told me no because I have my glasses. They say that 200$ for a lens fitting is too much. They also say that I am not responsible enough and I wouldn't take care of them. I thought it over and I came to a conclusion that i'd pay for them. I have a pair of Beats headphones i'm willing to return so I can get more money.So in total I have $250. I saw that a contact lens fitting was $90 at Costco. That's were I plan to get them. People tell me they are cheap there.So my question is how do I convince them to take me to get contacts and get them to understand that I am responsible?

Getting contacts tomorrow?

I'm going to get the soft ones, probably weekly or monthly wear, I can touch my eye no problem and the thought of putting them in doesn't make me feel weird at all, but what kind of problems should I expect? And where can I find a spongebob contact lens holder?

Is it safe to put in contacts while wearing nail polish?

It's because I just gave myself a manicure, then washed my hands. I did this AFTER I took out my lenses, by the way. But then this hit me. I love nail polish, but I'm super paranoid about eye infections.So is it safe to handle contacts while wearing nail polish? Yes, my nail polish is dry.
