Need quick contact lens help (how to read prescription)?

I am trying to order my husband contact lenses online. The prescription says that his right eye prescription is -6.00. That is no problem, but the left eye prescription is this long number -6.00-0.75x180. The online ordering does not give me an option for a number that long… do I just order him a -6.00 for both eyes or what?

Failure to obey officer?

On my way home from work I saw a police car with an officer next to it. I had taken my contact lenses out due to irritation and could not see exactly what his hand motions were. I thought he was directing traffic to go to another direction so I turned onto a residential street. I then saw the officer follow me with his lights on so i pulled over. He said I was speeding and failed to respond to his command to pull over before I turned. I did not realize I was speeding and I did not realize he was motioning me to pull over before I turned.

The light rays are reflected by the cornea and lens.An image is formed on the optic nerve. Nerve impulses are then sent to the spinal cord. The amount of light entering the eye is controlled by the iris.

Stupid Americans, is it true?

The American way of life:
It seems so many people around me are more often than not happy. Their moods are consistently good, they do not question their love for more money and more things (and indeed appear to define success and get real lasting self-esteem from this very act of accrual), sports, cars, beauty, technology, celebrity culture, Facebook etc., and to top it off, often times are just blissfully unaware of their own stinking entitlement.
Is it just pathetically, painfully true that Americans get their self-esteem by comparing themselves to others with "less"? And furthermore, should I just give up and conform and be a narcissist like everyone else (e.g.competing, back-stabbing, greedy, paranoid, disconnected, obsessed), or continue to suffer more by psychologically fighting the very system I've been conditioned to squeeze self-esteem from? Is it even possible for someone with eyes open to be emotionally healthy here?
So someone in the cyber-verse please help me.Is my cynicism about modern American culture true or am I distorting things (e.g.looking at things through a depressive "lens," being a victim complainer, being resentful). I do recognize the strengths of America, cutting edge medical technology (for the rich and the insured anyways), the civil rights movement, etc. But there seems to be a horrible spiritual void here, manifested by being inauthentic, fueled by lack of self-awareness.

Could diabetes be causing my astigmatism? - 1

I'm 17 and it is quite likely that I have Type 2 diabetes. I need to pee every 1-2 hours and need to have a bottle of water with me because I am constantly thirsty. I am generally lethargic (I used to think this was normal for most teenagers) and have regular subtle headaches. 3 of my grandparents and my dad have Type 2 diabetes so my chances of inheriting are almost inevitable. Also I've been tempting fate with my eating habits- since I have a fast metabolism I never give junk food a second thought.In spite of this I've recently gained a few kilograms of weight.

A bit over a week ago I went to the optometrist who told me I have mild astigmatism in both eyes (I'm already myopic and wear contacts). This was never diagnosed before (I have been wearing glasses since 9 and contacts 14). I don't need to wear toric lenses yet but I've been wondering whether this could have to do with my diabetes. I've heard that high blood sugar levels can change the shape of the eye and when they go down it reverts back. I've had diabetes symptoms for months now so this would fit.

Could this be possible for my case? Or is the high blood sugar level thing a myth? Many thanks for your help.

New Contacts. Need some help?

My first question is, i brought natural blue contacts from online… I've had many yes/no answers on doing this, and it's put me off my contacts. The brand of the lenses are Tutti premium.

When i put them on the first time, it was like a burning sensation, and as time wen't along it got a little better, but i was freaking out so much. I was so stressed when i tried to take them out i couldn't take them out! I started sweating and ugh… Nightmare.

I can't seem to get them in again.i think it's the fact i'm worried it will burn, as soon as i think it's in i start to panic again… But i don't want to be like this?

The next option is going down to the eye doctor and getting some prescribed for me, though i don't want to waste these ones i just purchased… unless they are very dangerous.

How to get my parents to buy me something I need with my own money?

I wear contacts. I wear them so often that it's causing my eyes a lot of stress. But, I need to wear them as often as I can. We can't afford for me to get glasses.My family's budget has been extremely tight lately. I recently came into money (please don't ask me how) and it's enough to cover the glasses and lenses. I really want to get them or just give my parent's the money, but I can't with all of the questions of where I got the money. I was thinking of anonymously mailing it, but they would spend it on something else, not what I need. How do I get them to buy me them without knowing where or how I got the money? Or is there a place I can say I got the money?
Added (1). I am not ashamed of what the money came from I just secretly got a job saying I have been going to "club meetings."

They would be ashamed if they knew there teenage daughter was secretly supporting them. Let me just say the budget is a little tighter than I may have advertised.

I'm turning 16 soon and wanted to get contact lenses because of many reasons… but my aunt is really lecturing me about how contact lenses damage your eyes and later on when I'm an old grandma i'll probably have eye problems and maybe be blind.
she's acting like she's an eye doctor but she's not. She's intelligent but …
I am a clean freak and very delicate with my eyes so I would clean them and my hands very thoroughly and do everything as the doctor says e.g. Don't sleep in lenses, don't wear them for too long, etc.

Omg, I'm in panic right now.So, about a week ago I wore contact lens which is a little uncomfortable when wearing it, so I discontinued wearing it. And after that, my eyes started itching.It wasn't that horrible.So I thought it will go away, but it didn't. And 2 days ago i went to a club and drank some alcohol, and the next morning i also ate some peanut butter. And then my lips started to swell.It wasn't swollen that much, but i can feel it, and see it.In the evening the swelling seems got away. But today morning it was swollen again, and right now it even started itching. A little bit of pain. And also my eyebrows, scalp, my neck area is also itching like hell.It seems like some kind of allergy. But i don't know what caused it, alcohol or peanut or even the contact lens. Oh for additional information, I have eaten peanut butter about a month ago, and it didn't caused me some kind of reaction…

Should I try wearing contacts again or just keep wearing glasses?

I've worn glasses for several years. I've tried contacts twice and both have been bad experiences. The first time I got contacts they were painful and would make my eyes water and I ended up getting pink eye so I stopped wearing them.

Several years later, last year, I tried contacts again. I tried both Acuve Oasis which I hated and then Biofinity Toric which are a lot more comfortable and thinner. The problem is that they dry my eyes out really bad to the point were they get bloodshot and I had to take them out. I did follow all of the doctors instructions and washed my hands before touching the contacts, cleaning the contacts, and changing the solution. Since they made my eyes hurt so bad I stopped wearing them again.

I've since been told that I may be intolerant of silicone lenses and that I should try Frequency Toric. But the thing is, I don't know if its worth it to try again. I ended up spending a lot of money on the contacts and solutions and then I ended up never using them. Plus, I don't really like putting the contacts in my eyes either. Should I try contacts again or stick to glasses? What are your thoughts?

My stye only feels better when I wear my contacts?

Obiously I have a stye, I know you are not supposed to wear contacts, but my stye doesnt feel better unless I wear them, I know it sounds crazy. The stye isnt in contact with my eyeball and I think that is why. I didnt even felt I had one until I took out my contacts lenses. I'm thinking about wearing them to school tommorow and taking them out as soon as I get home, and make sure I clean them well, should I?

Converting toric lenses to spherical?

The main reason I wanted contacts was to use colored contacts and I have an astigmatism in my left eye. I'll put my prescription below but I think it is possible to convert my lens to spherical and if I can does anyone know if I can get contacts from a reputable place like 1-800 contacts or something like that? Any advice is appreciated and if I should see another doctor for a second opinion and/or fitting please say so. Thanks in advance!

Diameter -0.50
Cylinder -0.75
Axis 170

Hey guys I was wondering if I should get Computer Glasses… I use the computer for LOTS of time, really alot. I am nearsighted, I see far objects blurred. I don't know how to say it in English of if I am saying it right..but try to understand from that.My levels of nearsightedness last year was 1.00 and now afte a year it's 1.75.So it has added 0.75 in a year that's why i'm worried.
I use eye contact lenses for outside and glasses for when i'm home though I don't use my glasses / contacts when i'm using the computer.
Any ideas? Should I get Computer Glasses or what? Will it help me? And if you guys know about how much do those glasses cost? Thanks in advance!

Albino for commission cosplay?

I've read a lot of articles about this sort of thing but none are to my liking. I have the pinkie red contact lenses, a white chest binder and a gray-white wig ready, but I have dark hair and tan skin. I have a white powder that will work for my eyelashes and possibly eyebrows depending on how I apply it, but it's strangely difficult to get the beautiful albino-white skin, even with the powder.

In January I'll be cosplaying an albino man for a commission shoot and one of my signature things as a model is not to use Photoshop or any editing software on my skin, or as little as possible if my freckles show on a shot where they're meant to be hidden. Usually I wouldn't care about perfection in a case like this, but obviously with being paid for it, I want it as good as possible.

Sun lotion doesn't work for me, and paler make up isn't doing much either. I don't want to hire a make up artist and can do pretty much anything myself if I have the right equipment. Any tips?

Could I model in korea or japan?

I'm going to Korea with my roommate next summer to teach English as a way to pay for college. She suggested I also look into modeling, because I have a "unique look." While I modeled as a child, I quit at age 12 and never looked back.but now, financial difficulties are forcing me to reconsider. I'm not an attention whore by ANY means. I would just like to know people think I would be successful modeling in Eastern Asia. I also know most Asian models are basically lampposts, but that's why my roommate said I should look into it- they want more variety in looks, etc.My stats are: Height- 5' 4"Weight- 115 lbsBust- 34"Waist- 26"Hip- 36"Eye/Hair- naturally brown [blue lenses]/ dark brownThe reason I'm not considering modeling in the US is because I'm far too short for most jobs, and I'd have to lose at least 20 lbs first, haha. Thanks for the input in advance!

Glasses cleaners are toxic?

My eye doctor gave this lens cleaner for my glasses.It's this spray bottle that you spray on the glasses and then wipe off with a cloth.

Is it likely that this cleanser is toxic enough that I should wash my hands after using it? Should I wash the glasses for that matter? I'm just wondering since the bottle says caution, do not ingest, contains isopropanol, and it has got me paranoid.

I'm not trying to dress or look weird, i just want to have my own style rather than dress like a nerd. but my mom keeps saying stupid things like "who are you trying to immitate" or "is this how your friends dress?" Recently we got into a big arguement cuz i'm spending a ot of time on a girl i like, WTF??? WHY IS SHE AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT I LIKE?
