Can the wind blow out your contacts?

I just got contacts today and where I live it's been really windy lately. So if I go outside will the wind blow them out? Cuz I really dont want to have to take them out EVERY single time I go outside.

They're Acuvue Oasys lenses, fyi

Contact lenses sterilizing help, to make contact lenses last longer?

Hi, I bought some monthly grey contact lenses like last week or something and out of curiosity to see what they would look like on me, I opened the packet and tried them on. Now because I wear glasses full time and contacts on the weekends or whatever, I was wondering if using saline solution (which is the solution the contact lenses come in, rather than contact lense solution you would clean your lenses with every time you used them) would make them last longer because with monthly contacts, you're suppost to throw them out 30 days after you open them from the packet. Seeing as I haven't been going out too much lately, I don't wanna let these contacts go to waste. If this doesn't work, is there any other way I can make my lenses last longer or keep them clean for longer? Thanks if you do leave me an answer, I really appreciate it. :]

Are peroxide based solutions good for dry eyes?

I've been struggling with dry eyes a lot especially in these winter days. I use acuvue oasys lense and I've tried bunch of multi purpose solutions. All were good for 3 hours and then my eyes get extremly dry and lenses become uncomfortable. And I constantly have to use wetting drops with sodium hyaluronate (thats what my doctor recommended). I m too scared to try peroxide based solutions, what are your thoughts? In my country we dont have Clear care, but we do have AO sept plus (ciba vision) which is similar to clear care.

Think my contact lens is stuck in my eye?

Hey.

I tried taking my contact lenses out last night, one came out straight away but I'm not sure if the other one is out. I tried for ages to get it out but my eye started to hurt really bad. I'm not sure if it's already fallen out, but there feels like there is something stuck.

When I put my glasses on my vision is fine, no blurring on either eye, could it possible that it just fell out at some point?

My views on Kalel Kitten. Do ya;ll agree?

Hi. I ranted about this on Tumblr but got hate and death threats even thought I didn't call her any names I just voiced my opinion. To me it seems like Kalel is only on youtube for the fame.ok she might really love Anthony but I don't think whole heartily. She made a million youtube channels and ended up deleting them saying that she didn't have the same views on what her videos were about before. She says she isn't even into makeup and barely wears it which is weird because in EVERY video and picture she not only has a ton of makeup but also circle lenses which are for beauty purposes only. I have no problem if someone changes (grows up) but why does she wait till she gets so many views and subscribers just to delete it and create a NEW one? Another thing that bothers me is that she is in EVERY picture where Anthony is.whether promoting Smosh or in the recent one with Dan and Phil. I'm not saying she should be just like Ian's gf Melanie but she at least isn't EVERYWHERE Ian is. Also.isn't it strange how she can afford all the makeup and the brand new house they bought? She seems really shady to me and she admitted to lying in the past. Her name isn't real (her name is Kristin Smith) and she even changed her nationality. I am not the one to gossip (you would know if you followed me on tumblr) but you have to Really annoy me to get me to rant about it. I am not bitchy nor calling her names. Just stating my opinion. So either comment logically (even if you don't agree) but do not share hate or anything like that or else I will block and report you. Well.that's all!

Doubling up contacts?

Does it work?

I have very bad eyesight, I'm near-sighted and can only see like 2 feet in front of me without things getting at least a little blurry. I always have to wear contacts or glasses.
I care a lot about my appearance and stuff though so I normally wear contacts outside.
I like to wear makeup and stuff and love j-fashion/kfashion and all that asian fashion.
I've heard about circle lenses and how they make eyes look bigger, and I have always really wanted to try a pair,
I was wondering if it is possible to double up wearing prescription contacts and circle lenses at once, or would that be too bulky in my eye and pretty much impossible, or unhealthy at all?

Can I buy progressive lense eye glasses ( line-less bifocals ) online and get a good product?

I have some line-less, progressive, bifocal glasses I got from a major Eye Glass chain down at the local strip mall. They are good but they have become scratched and I want to get new glasses. I have my prescription. My question is: Can I buy progressive lenses ( line-less bifocals ) online and get a good product? The eye glass chain, mentioned earlier, marks where my pupils are and messes with glasses to fit them on my head and such. The issue is that they are so expensive ( nearly $500 just for new lenses) thus I wanted to try a new option. Opinions?
Thanks.

How can my vision plan afford to do this?

I pay $1.17 a week, so $60 a year for vision insurance. I wear AcuVue Advance Plus soft contacts. They pay for a years' supply every year with no deductible - about $320. UnitedHealthcare is the carrier. I know that insurance plans as a rule make money because many don't use them. How is this possible since so many wear contacts? I have noticed they won't pay as much for glasses, yet are fine with shelling out for a year of contacts.

Glasses: Lens Thickness and high-index lenses?

I'm getting a new pair of glasses, and I have a question about prescription strength and lens thickness. This is my prescription:

Right eye: -3.25
Left eye: -2.25 Cyl. -1.25

My frame size is 54-18-145, and I think my pupillary distance (PD) is about 57 mm. Is my prescription considered a strong prescription? I'm just going to get the basic CR-39 plastic lenses right now, but should I be worried about my glasses being too thick? Should I get a different lens type like a high-index lens? Thanks for any advice.

If you wear contacts not for astigmatism, what does it feel like? - 1

My doctor prescribed Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism. He gave me a trial pair and they said it "wasn't exactly" the right prescription, but it'll work.

The feeling of the contact is very prominent, and sometimes when my eyes focus or shake, the contact moves and my vision gets blurry until I blink a few times.
Is that what it is? I don't have the astigmatism contacts?

Contact Solution, Help?

Last night I didn't have anymore contact solution so I used an expired contact solution to last me just for the night to prevent them from drying out because of course i didn't want to sleep in them.

Will the image be inverted? Will it be real or virtual?

A converging lens with a focal length of 0.1m is to be used as a magnifying glass. This is done placing the object to be magnified within the focal length of the lens on the opposite side from your eye. Use a ray diagram and the lens equation to determine the magnification if the object is placed at a distance of 0.03m from the lens.

Contact lenses blurry?

Right, so basically I got my contacts yesterday and apperantly I ve been wearing glasses for 10 years(I m 14) and I decided to try if I can wear contacts. I went to the doctor, got ones with the proper prescription and they seem to be very very blurry. I ve wore them for 4 hours yesterday and for 6 today but there seems to be still a little bit of blurry while I m with them. I do use eye drops to clean them, so that shouldn t be the problem.

I was wondering, if there is a chance I can t wear contacts for my whole life? Or any solutions to get rid of the blurry effect.

Best time to get Lasik Eye Surgery?

I have been wearing contact lenses since 18. My eyes hasn't dramatically had changes in prescription for 3 years. I'm in my mid 20's & was planning to get Lasik soon. I have been advised from someone close that it's not good to get it too early because it will lead to more adjustments. My eye doctor say's if my prescription doesn't change for another 2 years, I am qualified to get Lasik. Should I wait? I don't want to get Lasik now then all of a sudden I have to get another one to fix the previous procedure like other people I know had.

What's the proper method for cleaning the barrel contact lens case, daily?

So up until my last opticians appointment I didn't really clean the contact lens case. I changed the solution at night when I took my lenses out, and in the morning after putting them in, I left the solution in the case till I changed it again at night.

But I was told this was wrong and that I was meant to put a few drops of solution around it and what not and let it air dry throughout the day.

But I don't quite understand it… What parts am I supposed to put solution on? There's not enough to drench the whole case with a few drops each day. And also if I leave both parts out to air dry, then surely bacteria and dust will fall on and into the case throughout the day? I don't get it.

Can someone please explain what I should do, and why? Because I'm going back to the opticians soon and I don't want to have to tell them I've refused to do what they told me.x[
Added (1). "NEVER use water directly from the tap to clean your lens case."
Added (2). Why does everyone keep suggesting tap water? I've been told time and time again, DONT use tap water, as it has its own bacteria in it, which may be harmless to drink, but can infect your eyes.

Not allowed to re-order contact lenses before prescription expiration?

It's one thing that they changed it from having to get an eye exam every 2 years. Then, they changed it to 1 year. Now it gets better. My current prescription expires in 2 months (10 months after my last exam)… Can they really force me to get another exam so quickly? I'm nearly out of my current supply, so I ordered new ones online - no problem, right? They call and tell me that they were told my prescription has expired. I go into my eye doctor's office, they look up my last exam date, and make a twisted face. They say it's too close to expiration and that they can only give me a trial pair until I get another exam.

What I'm asking is, are they legally allowed to do this? My prescription never changes and I don't want an exam EARLIER than a year past. I tried looking up some answers, and saw that prescribers can only make you have more frequent exams if they have a medical reason backing their decision, and that it needs to be in writing and documented. Is this true? Note that I've never had anything abnormal with my eyes or vision, and certainly not documented.

Thanks for any help.

Smoking for the first time - help?!

Hey guys,
I'm a responsible teen girl and plan to smoke marijuana in the next few weeks. I know I shouldn't do it if I'm nervous, but I think the time is right and I will be around close friends.

1. I'm not that articulate as it is and am petrified that the joint will literally render me unable to talk - how realistic is it that it will have some effect like that? I don't mind a bit slurred, because the others will be drunk anyway, but is there a risk that I won't be able to speak?

2. I wear contact lenses - do you think my eyes will get really irritated and water a lot?

3. I have only smoked e shisha (vaping) and that doesnt make me cough when I lung inhale. I know weed is actual smoke, so will I most likely cough my lungs out initially? Will I look like a total idiot in front of the practised smokers or does everyone cough a bit?

4. If I secretly only mouth inhale one joint, what will the high be like? I have never got completely drunk, because I hate loss of control, so don't compare it to that. Is it possible that I'll say ridiculous stuff and laugh uncontrollably? How out of control do you feel? Will I be together enough to realise the concept of not losing my phone etc. Or will I just act the total idiot and fall over etc?

5. I will have to face my parents about three hours later. When they smell it, I'll just say some girl was smoking a regular cigarette near me. Will I still be high as a kite?
Thanks so much. Sorry to be such a total noob, but I'm worried.

Why do so many contact lens brands not go past -6.00?

I didn't think my eyesight was THAT bad, but -6.00 seems to be the cutoff for many contact lens brands, esp. In colored lenses. I really like brown lenses because my eyes are naturally green, but I think they look fakey because I have such dark features otherwise. Brown lenses are so hard to find, esp. In a high magnification. Why is this? I can only find them in Freshlook, and I'd like to try a different color of brown. Most companies that make brown don't make them past -6.00.
Now that I'm 28, is it true my vision should level off? I'm afraid if it gets worse, I won't be able to wear contacts!

Also, how do you know when ordering contacts online, that the order actually goes through your doctor's office. I think it's kind of fishy when the website allows you to fax your script to them, and doesn't say anything about contacting your doctor. I want to save money by shopping around, but how do you tell if a site is legitimate?

Would it damage my eyes in any way if my glasses are slightly crooked?

My glasses is slightly tilted so that it's noticeably crooked though not at first glance. It has not caused me any headaches, eye fatigue, etc; it just doesn't look nice.

In addition, the left lens of the glasses is much closer to my eye than the right, probably due to the arrangement of the nose pads.

It's sort of strange. If I wear the red-blue glasses, and take them off, I can see red and blue, even without the glasses on (the world looks red-blue for a few minutes anyway).

If the left lens eye is red, I see blue out of my left I after I take them off. And if the right eye is blue, I see red from my right eye for a minute of 2 after taking off the glasses.

Eye Strain when wearing Contact Lenses?

Just turned 40. I went to the eye doc a few times. I was diagnosed with the very early stages of presbyopia. I am nearsighted, but ironically I can still see up close when wearing glasses and contacts. When I'm not wearing anything, I do notice it is a little more difficult to read up close. Anyway, the problem I'm having is when I wear my contacts, my eyes strain very easily. I work on a computer 8 hours a day so it makes it worse. My doctor tried a few different prescriptions, but I can't see that well in some of them and still feel the strain. I went back to my old prescription that I have been wearing for years. I can see with that, but again the strain is the problem. Doesn't seem to happen when I wear glasses, only contacts. My Doctor said it is because they sit right on the eye. I guess I'm finding it hard to believe because I am so used to wearing contacts all the time. I can't seem to find a pres. That doesn't cause the strain though. Is this common in emerging presbyopes? And what will happen as it gets worse? If I'm straining now, what will I have to wear in the future?

Neither my mum or dad wears glasses so I'm the first, I do spend about 8 hours a day in front of computer screens and my phone at quite close distances. What I want to know is that is there a high chance my eyesight will become worse over the next year? I am quite sure that I will be doing a lot of close up work over the next year I just want to know if there is a chance it may get worse if so is there any idea of how worse it may get? I just want to know.

Hey girls, where can I get bright colored contact lenses for dark brown Asian eyes?

It's just for accessorizing purposes, so it should be a normal 14mm diameter one (not the huge Barbie eye one) with natural looking iris designs on it.

Preferably light brown, hazel, or steel blue.

Contact lenses keep getting stuck?

I've recently started wearing contact lenses, today was the second time that I had inserted them.
After getting stuck the first time, today they decided they would stick to my cornea again and my eyes have been non stop irritated, they feel so much better after a few hours but that's not the point. Why is this happening? It's frustrating me. My eyes feel sore, irritated, my eyelashes are itchy and my eyes are somewhat dry.
Added (1). I wear soft contacts, dailies. I was assessed before being able to trial the lenses and had no issues inserting and removing the contacts, that is not my issue here.

Does contact lens case HAVE to be air dried?

Does the case have to be air dried? I changed my solution each use, but can I just leave the solution in the case and change the solution when it's time to take my contacts off? I'm planning on starting to bring my contact lens case to school WITH the solution in the case, instead of leaving it to air dry at home. Because bringing a bottle of solution is just too risky, I'm scared it might leak, since the cap is not very secure. Thanks!

Will wearing toric circle lenses affect my eyes if I have astigmatism?

Will wearing toric circle lenses affect my eyes if I have astigmatism?
Added (1). I'm pretty sad that I have astigmatism but it's something that I can't control. Before I went to my recent check up I only had a slight astigmatism in my left eye and I was able to wear regular circle lenses. Now I can't anymore but I've heard that I can wear toric circle lenses. I want to have a bit of eye larging effect and add a little bit of color to my eyes. It's upsetting that they don't have color contacts for astigmatism anymore I don't mind paying to get color contacts for astigmatism.

Contact lenses are blurry? Doctor gave wrong prescription?

Contact lenses are blurry? Doctor gave wrong prescription?
Added (1). I wanted contacts but the clinic I go to was not allowed to do it there so they gave me a prescription for eyeglasses. I could see ok at the end of the exam. I have an astigmatism. I was given the prescription for left eye, sphere -1.00, cylinder -1.75, axis 085 and right eye was sphere -1.50 cylinder -1.50 axis 115.
Added (2). I went to another clinic after to receive an exam specifically for contacts. I felt like my vision was slighty blurry at the end of the exam and i tried on some contacts. Acuve oasys brand. They were blurry and after an hour of wearing them i had to take them out from a headache. Yes I told the doctor multiple times about the blurry vision.
Added (3). I was told it was because they did not have an exact trial match in my prescription. Being told this, I ordered some and after waiting 6 weeks to get them they are blurry. I had contacts years ago and my vision was excellent even better than any glasses i did have a different brand, air optix. I am not even sure which box of contacts goes with which eye, but they are both blurry, the boxes say -1.50, -1.25 120 and -1.25 -1.25 090.
Added (4). Would it be a waste of money to go back to the doctor i received the contacts from? They did not seem competent to me. Or is there just not an exact match avaible for me? I have already went to too clinics and I just want contacts because I had excellent vision when i had good ones a few years ago. When i put them in at the clinic years ago, after a minute of wearing them i had excellent vision and nothing was blurry.

Toric circle lenses from pinky paradise?

So I ordered some and they are the correct base curve, axis, prescription, everything. They are super comfortable and I love them so much. But I am having trouble with the one on the right eye slipping in and out of focus. I have to readjust it with my finger about every 5 minutes. The left one is completely fine. The problem lense is the exact same everything as my clear lenses that I have no problem with. So I am unsure why this one keeps doing that if it is exactly my bc, axis etc. Could it be defective? Dirty? What should I do?

Contacts and glasses for mild astigmatism?

I went to the optometrist a few days ago and my prescription hadn t changed except for a mild astigmatism. I usually wear contacts (but I also wear glasses at home). She said that my astigmatism is too mild to correct with contact lenses. However, I got new glasses and they re making me feel dizzy and my head kinda hurts. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Would it be better to just keep both glasses and contacts with a consistent prescription (i.e. No astigmatism correction)?

Do I need high index for my prescription?

I have a sphere of -3.75 for DV and RE and a sphere of -4.00 of DV and LE. The doctor has put lines across cylinder and axis and both the VA are 6/6.

The IPD has 68 MM and at the end the doctor has written: pl do vertex correction for C2.

I have noticed that the edges of my glasses look really thick and my eyes look small and beady when I wear them. My lens also look curved and my face kinda looks distorted because you can the see the sides of my head through the frames.

So I was wondering if I use 1.74 high index for my lens, will it reduce the thickness and make my eyes look less small? Is my myopia moderate or high?

They are due to 12/2015 so it should be ok but I had they with me on a vacation where it was really hot. But they are still unopened and the ''water'' is still there. They are one-day-lenses.

Nerd -styled frames with strong prescription?

I'm gonna be getting new glasses soon. I really like those "nerd" or "hipster" styled glasses with the big thick frames, but my prescription usually ends up with pretty thick lenses.

I'm farsighted and have astigmatism; the sphere for both eyes is around 5.50 or 5.75, the cylinder for both around -2.25 or -2.50, and the axis is about 175 in one eye and 22 in the other.

Would I be able to get the type of frames I like or will they end up being too thick and/or heavy? Should I just keep opting for smaller lenses? Thanks!

Do glasses make a person ugly?

I was told by someone that I would get more than one guy (this guy who likes me) if I didn't wear glasses and for some reason that really hurt my feelings.

I'm 18 and I've tried contacts before but I have horribly high astigmatism so I need toric lenses… Which are both super thick and annoying to wear and expensive.

I wanna wear contacts but they annoy me a lot?

(I clean my contact case every day, I wash before applying contacts and before taking them off)

I wear contacts for about 1 week. After 1 week, while I'm trying to apply the contacts they itch/hurt where I quickly remove them because of how annoying they are

Once after wearing them for like a week they would annoy me a lot and so I couldn't keep them in my eyes for even a minute. So I took them out and cleaned them. I tried putting them in again and same thing. So then I cleaned the case and stoked them in the solution for a day. The next day they did the same thing. So I opened a new pair and they would annoy my eyes. So then I had to wait like a week before they went in my eyes again. This always happens, I wear contacts for about a week, take them off for a week, then wear them for a week, then take them off for a week, etc. (I tried getting the drops to moisturize, but didn't help)

I ended up not buying any more contacts at all.

I have sensitive eyes more than others, and I get pink eye a few times a year, and my eyes get red from allergies more than a few times a year (I get this from my dad. He gets red eye a lot)

So does the contacts thing have to do with my sensitive eyes, as I'm probably guessing?

After I stopped using contacts my eyes didn't get red for about 3 months. But while using them my eye got red every couple of weeks, also delaying my use of contacts.

Because they're still getting worse. I'm 19 and started wearing glasses when I was around 10. I go to the eye doctor maybe once or twice a year, definitely at least once and every time I go I have to have my prescription updated to stronger lenses. Is this normal? I never thought to ask my doctor because I usually have glasses or contacts in all the time, like I have no idea how bad my eye site is. But recently I broke my glasses and feel too lazy to put in contacts and I was like woahhhh im blind.

Switching from glasses to contact lenses?

Hi,

When I was about 10 I started wearing glasses because my doctor saw that there was something with my eyes and send me to ophthalmologist. I was excited that I would wear them but now as I'm 15 I feel bored of them and I don't want to wear them anymore. I searched up about If I can improve my contact vision so I wouldn't need to wear my galsses but most of the people said that it's impossible and to get better vision I need to keep wear them and stuff. I decided to look up about contact lenses and learn more about them. I asked my mom if my eye go to some direction (When I don't want to look there) if I focus on something and she said yes but very very slight. My question is if I can wear contact lenses and also I want to ask if you guys (people which are wearing contact lenses) like them, or you lot would like to switch to glasses again? Thanks.

Do I really need new glasses?

I went to get my eyes tested last week simply cause I needed an recent prescription. With my glasses I was easily able to read all the lines without any problem. Then the doctor checked my eyes without glasses and asked which is better --- first/second for different sets of letters. He then told me that my astigmatism has done up 0.5 in my right eye but everything else is the same. I have had this prescription for the past 8 years with no problem so do I really need to get new glasses or can I just continue to wear the same glasses. I hate getting new prescription cause my eyes take for ever to adjust to it. Or should I get my eyes retested in case there was some error in testing the first time.
Added (1). @ Footprintz-- ideally how much change in power and cylinder would require new glasses?

Freshlook Colors vs CooperVision Expressions? What's more natural looking?

What's more natural looking on dark hazel eyes? I was thinking getting either gray or blue color, however, Freshlook Colors doesn't have grays so I'd go with blue. I just don't want to have bright blue eyes, just normal/natural blue shade.
So far I've tried Freshlook Colorblends in Gray and Sterling Gray, and both colors look awful and very unnatural on the eye.

I have wrinkles already?

Basically, I am 16 and I have wrinkles. I don't have the common forehead wrinkles. However, I have like lines underneath my eyes. Plus, I've got like dark eyebags underneath my eyes which I have to cover with concealer. Also, the other sign of wrinkles I have is on the bridge of my nose. I basically have a few lines there. I know what may have caused the wrinkles on my nose. Basically, when I was 12, my eyesight got worse and worse and I didn't want to wear glasses which caused me to squint. I think that has paid a part in it. Also, I do now wear contact lenses and glasses so I don't need to squint anymore. How can I get rid of them?

So how do I fix my seratonin problems from meth exposure in womb?

I am diagnosed with ADHD and have lived with myself long enough to know I have General Anxiety Disorder.

Common among people who were exposed to meth in the womb i feel the need to tense my muscles for no reason due to my amygdule (A part of the brain) causing stress signals to misfire. I have bad eye hand coordination, have to wear expensive prescription lenses that i pay avg for now until I'm not young enough to keep focusing my eyes (im 18).

The worst part is the constant replaying of things in my head that causes stress that can't be stopped by words unless it's a piece of information that can help me avoid the problems. I hate taking prescription amphetamines for my ADHD because that ability to focus makes me obsess over everything.

I need medication for my amygdule problem. I dont call it depression rather than saying screw life I worry about everything. I'm always worried about uncertainty about everything including myself and I'm tired of it. I just want to know what is out there that can help me.

Why are my eyes red?

I find that recently the whites of my eyes have been extremely reddened. It is wintertime, and my eyes usually tear up due to the wind and cold weather, but they have never reacted as they do now.

I also have hard contact lenses, having gotten them in August.

My eyes do not hurt when they are red, in fact, the redness would otherwise go unnoticed by me if I didn't look in the mirror or have friends point it out throughout the day.

So… Why are my eyes red and how do I prevent it?

(I put in eyes drops this morning and it did not help.)

Whats wrong with my contact lenses? - 1

i bought two boxs of the ones my doctor subscribed and when i put them on they make my vision ten times worse. It gets really blurry? Theyre tinted green contacts for light eyes(but the pupil bit is just clear) so at first i thought maybe that had something to do with it but its not ): i spent a fair amount of money on contacts and now they are unwearable ): im gonna make an appointment with my dr tomorrow.

also ive tried 4 different lenses (2 from each box) and im having the same issue, did he get my prescription wrong?

ive also tried wearing the.25 in both eyes as one is worse and thought maybe a lower script would help but it didnt!

What is this itchy bump on/below my eyelid?

I noticed it yesterday morning only because it was itchy in class, then when I got home I realised it was red and there was a bump. It's on my right eye(left side of pic), the lower eye lid on the side closer to my nose-in the pictures it's right where my iris punches my eyelid-it's not very noticeable but it's itchy and there's a bump.

Contact lens fears advice?

I'm shortsighted, no idea on the specifics but I've been wearing glasses for about 4 years. I've never had the self confidence to wear my glasses outside the house/school but my lack of vision outside does upset me so during the past year I've been wanting contact lenses.

I tried to get them in Halloween break 2013 and the optician got one half in my eye before I flipped out and wouldn't let her try again. I went at the end of summer to try again and I panicked as soon as I sat down in the chair and literally left as soon as she had the contact lens on her finger. They're pretty done with my sh!t lol, but I really am desperate for them now so I'm trying again in about a month's time and I really want it to be third time lucky, I'm determined to crack this fear and get them.

I've figured my problem is, I have a strong flinch reflex when I see the finger coming towards my eye and I blink whenever it's being put in. I'm scared of the thought of getting it out too:/

1. How can I teach myself to not flinch whenever the optician's first putting the lens in?
2. How can I avoid blinking whenever the lens actually goes on my eyes?
3. What can I do to avoid feeling sick and nervous before my appointment?
4. Is it hard to get the lenses out?
5. Other general advice?

Thank you

Is there anything I can do to get my insurance company to cover Lasik?

every year I have to get a new prescription for contacts, lenses, glasses, and pay for an appointment. I would think that over time, it would be more cost effective for both the employee and the insurance company to pay for one procedure, if not just part of it, than to pay for all the future bills. I tried calling my insurance provider and they said it wasn't covered. I tried contacting my home office and they told me to contact my insurance? Is there anything else I could possibly do?

How to take care of circle lenses? - 2

My uncle just bought me Twilight Pink Circle Lenses, and I don't exactly know how to take care of them.
What do I have to do on a daily basis, and every day before I wear them?
How long until they expire?
I haven't worn contacts before. What do I have to do to not have irritated eyes?
Do I have to soak them before I wear them?
What cleaning products do I use? Where do I get it and for how much?
How do I prepare them for going in my eyes? Like, when I am just about to put them in, what do I do?
Is it true they can go to the backs lf your eyes and you have to get surgery to get them out?
Are they scary to wear?
How long should I wear them at time? I go to conventions a lot, and I plan to be wearing them for longer than 6 hours if I can? What do I need to do?
can I sleep with them or do I need to take them out before i nap? (Im pretty sure you can't?)
Please give me everything possible I will need to do. I really don't want anything bad happening to my eyes.
Please and thanks!

My optometrist did not measure my eyes' base curve, diameter etc. When prescribing contacts?

My eye doc didnt make measurements for my eyes. I ordered acuvue oasys contacts. The base curve of the contact is 8.6 and diameter is 14.5. My right eye feels perfectly fine but my left eye feels weird. I feel that when a look to the extreme right or left, my left eye vision blurs a little. My left eye feels dry and strained. Is this normal? Is it just a period of adjustment or there's something wrong with the measurements? I've worn coloured contacts for a few times though.

Can I wear my trial contact lenses for 2 weeks?

I was prescribed Acuvue Oasys and was given trial lenses to wear home. It wasn't specified how long I could wear them, but my doctor said 'you can even wear them for a week if you want'. The Acuvue Oasys brand is a 2 week disposable so I'm assuming I could wear these for 2 weeks? The ones I ordered aren't here yet and I'd hate to have to stop wearing lenses before they come in the mail.

Is it okay to wear a slightly chipped contact lens?

I took one of my contact lenses out today and noticed a very small chip on the edge. I'm not sure how that happened, but I wear disposable Acuvue Oasys soft lens. Is it still safe to wear or should I throw them out? They're a trial pair that I've been wearing for a week and I'd hate to have to stop wearing them now because I'm waiting for my contacts to come in the mail.

Should I wear them still or not? It's just a very small chip on the edge, would it cause any real harm if I continue to wear them for a couple more days?

Vriska Serket Cosplay Help?

Im planning on doing a vriska cosplay and have a few questions
first off is her robot arm
i found a tutorial on how to do it and it looks fairly good, but i would like something very detailed. I know i've seen people put wires (since its robotic and all) do you have any tips for the wires, and detail in general? (im aiming for the arms like these: , image , )

also, her glasses
i was planning on painting the left eye black to make it look good, but of course id be blind in one eye and im not 100% sure if itd look good
id prefer not to switch out lenses from a second pair of glasses for this
is there a way to tint the left lens so its black but i can still see through it like sunglasses, or will i have to deal with being half-blind?

How to get prescription glasses?

I want prescription glasses but I don't actually need them. I just want a small one like -0.25 but I don't know how to get a pair without having a doctor sign a prescription for me which wouldn't work anyway because I don't need prescription. Where can I buy them so it won't need prescription verification and it will just give me a pair of glasses with prescription already inside? (don't tell me to buy clear lens glasses or that it will damage my eyes, I don't care. Just please answer the question)

How hard is it to overcome my fear of putting on contact lenses?

My mom and I went to the ophthalmologist together. At first the ophthalmologist tried to put the lenses in for me but I kept on blinking. I was kind of scared and it felt really weird/uncomfortable to have something on my eyes. I later tried it myself but I still didn't succeed as the same thing later. My mom made me leave 20 minutes later, saying that I was a coward for not being able to do something so simple.

How hard is it for me to overcome my fear of contact lenses? Will I ever succeed? How can I do this? I feel unattractive when wearing glasses (I'm a girl).

Circle Overlapping Area - Help?!

Hey guys. I'm studying maths at AS-level, and just finished the unit on circles. We learnt about completing the square to get the radius, centre co-ordinates etc. We also did the equation of a tangent too, that's about as much as the chapter covered. I like a challenge so asked my teacher for some extension questions; this is the hardest one I have ever been given. Could someone begin to explain how to go about this simply without incredibly long formulas and actually talk me through the process? Thanks guys.

'The region R is the intersection of the interiors of the two circles given by x^2 + y^2 = a^2 and x^2 + y^2 = 2ax + 2ay - a^2 where a >= 0. Find the value of a such that the area of R is (pi)-2.'

My teacher told me the area of overlapping circles is called a 'lens' and I'm thinking it could have something to do with subtracting the area of a sector from the area of the triangle with the chord between the two intersecting points as the base. Please help.
