Air Optix Contact Lenses?


I have been wearing Acuvue Oasys for about 6 years now. I guess I just hate contacts in general. It is such a pain to take them off and put them on every single day and night. I just saw the commercial for Air Optix contact lenses by CIBA Vision. I believe you can use it for up to 30 nights before disposal.

Has anybody ever used these? Are they comfortable? When you wake up, do your eyes feel sticky like when you would sleep with normal contacts? And can sleeping with contacts for 30 nights in a row be healthy? Thanks.

Maui Jim sunglasses help?

I noticed that the Maui Jim lenses are lighter on the top/bottom lenes and darker in the center of the lenses similar to this picture below. While I am wearing these sunglasses made by Maui Jim, will people be to see my eyes through my sunglasses while I am in the shade or in direct sunlight (no hat, no shade)?

I don't like people looking through my eyes when wearing sunglasses. It looks weird being able to see someone wear sunglasses and their eyes visible. I know that oakley polarized black iridum lenses ahve a mirror reflection but what bout the maui jims?

Advice on first time contact lenses?


i had a trial today at the opticians where they basically could see if i could put the lenses in/take them out before i got them.
i sat and tried over and over again to get them in but i just cant get the lense in. I get so insanely close to doing it and it's almost like it just gets stuck there and i cant move it any further towards my eye.
i never expected to have as much trouble with it, i'm not afraid of touching my eye and i know it wont hurt to put them in but i just cant make myself do it. I kept on hesitating.

i'm going back to try again in a couple of days.
i wanted to ask this, if anyone reading this wears contact lenses, did you find it difficult to put them in on the first day/trial? How did you get over it?

i've been wearing glasses for nearly 10 years and having to wear them is still annoying, so i would really love to get contacts.
thanks in advance!

Fell asleep with contacts in? Can I wear them again?


I fell asleep with my contact lenses in last night for about 5-6 hours and when I woke up my eyes were a little bit dry. I took them out right away and my eyes were not irritated at all. Is it still safe to wear those same contacts again because I currently cannot access a new pair. Thank you.

Contact lenses with eyelash extensions for wedding?


Hi guys I've only been wearing glasses since December and I've used contact lenses only a couple of times… However I'm a bridesmaid in 2 weeks and would like to wear contact lenses but I'd like eyelash extensions.
I've read that you should take them out while getting them done but when insert or remove my contacts I was told to hold my lashes back? I'm now thinking if I do this with extensions won't I pull them out? Has anyone got experience in this?

How to treat swollen eye lid?


Hi, one day i woke up and noticed that my left eye lid was red and swollen. I searched on the internet, and I thought that it was just an infection from my contact lens because I had been going to sleep with them on for several nights. Immediately took them off, and haven't worn them since. It has been about 4 days and the swelling still has not gone away. The swelling has been the same size, and hardening. It almost feels like an eye ball… Disgusting. There are no discharges. Can anyone tell me what this is and the treatment for it? Thank you so much.

New user having problems with contact lenses?


So it's recommended that you take the contact lenses off right eye first, which is what I thought I had done but now basically I couldn't get my left contact out, and by covering my left eye it seems like my right eye still has the contact in yet I can't get it off that eye either. Trying to remove them hurts a lot more than they had done last night even after washing my hands and I'm getting a bit worried I won't be able to get it out at all and have to go to the hospital to have it removed or whatever.

Basically I'm not 100% sure which eye has a contact lense in it and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get it out, any advice?

Do I absolutely need to wear toric contact lenses?


Hi,
I've been looking for new contact lenses to buy online and I noticed that toric lenses are often more pricy than regular ones. I was curious to know if I could get away with wearing regular contacts or if it's important that I wear toric ones. I heard that if someone has an astigmatism of only -0.50, their doctors don't bother with putting astigmatism in their prescription. Mine is only -0.75. So would I have a hard time seeing if I didn't have toric lenses? I'm 17 by the way (I don't know if that would be helpful at all, but just in case lol).

Here's my prescription:
Power: Left is -4.50 & Right is -4.25
Base Curve: 8.7
Diameter: 14.5
Cylinder: -0.75
Axis: 90

Thank you so much! :)

How to keep my persian's eyes clean?

My persian cat, Bella, gets eye ****. I know how to clean her eyes well enough, but she ends up getting these dark spots that are impossible to get out of her fur.

Where did our eyes come from.Can evolution explain it?


evolution is a philosophy that does not need real evidence only guesses without facts
n The Origin of Species, Darwin experienced a serious difficulty in the face of the eye's complex design. The only solution he found was in pointing to the simpler eye structure found in some creatures as the origin of the more complex eyes found in others. He hypothesized that more complex eyes evolved from simpler ones. However, this claim does not reflect the truth. Paleontology shows that living things emerged in the world with their exceedingly complex structures already intact. The oldest known system of sight is the trilobite eye. This 530-million-year-old compound eye structure, which we touched on in an earlier chapter, is an "optical marvel" which worked with a double lens system. This fact totally invalidates Darwin's assumption that complex eyes evolved from "primitive" eyes
Added (1). Cambrian explosion is an example. No evolved species has yet to be found, only philosophy to explain and then be counted as a fact.Species of that time period were fully made as there are no fossils showing anything different.

Why should I HAVE to get used to new glasses?


I have worn glasses for over 20 years. I have always been near sighted. After having each of my children my vision actually improved to the point that I really barely have a prescription in my left eye and pretty much none in the right eye. I have had the same pair of glasses for 6 years because my prescription never changed. Last year I had to switch doctors because my old one didn't accept my new insurance. The new doctor was very friendly and thorough. But he was telling me that I had an astigmatism and I could never wear contact lenses (HELLO… I wore contacts for 15 years with zero problems! Only quit because of the cost.) and he said that I am not near sighted but am actually far sighted now! I guess he's correct since can see pretty well far away. And have the beginning of presbyopia (aging eyes). The only reason I even wear glasses now is because that left eye has that touch of prescription it and doesn't match the right eye and bothers me. Anyway, I broke down and bought new glasses finally. Wasn't cheap! Got them today and they are WRONG! The left eye feels wrong, is slightly blurry, and its giving me headaches. I told them this and they said "oh you have to get used to it. Give it a few days"? Why should I have to get used to it? If its the right prescription then it shouldn't take getting used to. A doc told me once if they don't feel right immediately (blurry, slanted floor, just feels off, etc.) then something is wrong. Any thoughts?

I don't know what this eyesight problem is?


So for about half a year now, I have began to see sort of 'outlines' of objects when I look at them. I will try very hard to explain this to you, but I don't really know how.

So what happens is, whenever I look at something, I can usually see some sort of slightly see-through bit of it above or below. It gets more apparent (and less transparent) when the object is brighter, for example on a computer screen, or if I get further away from it, it gets even more visible.

It is causing me to not be able to read signs from a long distance away, so I am wondering if it is just a thing which happens when you are becoming near-sighted. I could describe the effect as making the text, or object, go blurry, which I have also heard is what happens when your vision is getting bad.

I also don't know if everyone experiences it, but I think they do. If you are ever looking at something bright in the dark, the light seems to cover up more of your eyesight somehow, if you know what I mean.

Could this just be because of some small issues that I have caused? For example, I tend to be looking at screens and computer monitors a lot, and I have quite a bit of sugar, but not a lot of exercise, and apparently sugar can cause your vision to go blurry like this.

I am slightly worried that this could be a bigger issue than just bad eyesight, like a serious disease, but I understand if you don't understand what I am trying to explain, because I don't know if anyone else has had this happen before.

Are contact lenses an effective treatment against color blindness?


A friend of mine has just find out she is a red-green color blind. Althoght saying that it is not going to change her life that much, she get clearly worried abou that.

Where can I buy corrective contact lenses without a prescription?


Hello~ I've run out of contact lenses and need to buy a new box, but my prescription just expired a couple weeks ago. My pharmacy (and every website I've visited) won't let me buy a new box without a renewal of my prescription, but I just don't have the money to have an eye exam right now. I barely have the money to buy a new box of contacts. I plan on having an eye exam within the next three months, though, but these contacts I'm wearing right now are old enough as they are.

Does anyone know a website that sells corrective contact lenses (not colored) without the need to verify my prescription? And just to let you know, my eyesight hasn't changed, so there isn't any danger. Each time my prescription changed, I've been able to tell, and it hasn't now.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you. ^^

Should I throw away my circle lenses?


Hi! I am not an English native speaker, so I excuse myself for any error.

I bought purple circle lenses but I haven't tried it since I bought it but I have been cleaning it with contact lenses solution. My sister told me that if I don't wear it daily, it should be okay if I don't clean it for a maximum of 3 days. But there was a circumstance in which my sister cleaned her circle lenses after 1 week and after she cleaned it and waited around 6 hours (the time recommended that you should wait before wearing it) and then tried it on, it hasn't caused her any trouble or infection since she also doesn't wear it daily.

Now, the problem is that I left my circle lenses in a rented apartment and I cleaned it on a Friday and I had to go to my parents' house for a week but I can't return until this Monday, which will be around 10 days that I haven't cleaned it since then. So, will it be okay if I clean it and be able to wear it again or should I throw it away and buy a new pair?

Answer as soon as possible, please. Thanks beforehand!

Long & Short Sight and Reading Confused?


Hello

My presription is

Right -0.1 +1.25
Left -0.75 +1.25

Without glasses I can read comfortably by holding my book with a bent arm. But with my glasses on I have to hold the book at arms length.

Reading without glasses - Do the minus and plus values cancel each other out to equal near normal vision?

Also my optician said I could wear one contact in my dominant right eye and no contact in my left eye. So basically use the R.Eye for distance and the L.Eye for reading. It sounds a bit strange to me?

PS I guess the long sight is due to my age, born in '65.

Do I need Toric contact lenses? - 1


Hi. I currently got my first set of eye contacts my doctor prescribed me. He prescribed me with toric contact lenses. I did a little research to see what toric lens are. After a little of reading I'm now not to so sure if they are really helpful for me. I read toric lenses are for people with astigmatism which I don't think I have since I have no problem reading up close. I've been wearing regular single vision glasses for about four years now because I have trouble seeing from a distance. But I have no problem reading or seeing up close. Now that I got my first set of contacts I sometimes have problems seeing with them. I can see better with them than with out them but There is times they feel ok but they do sometimes get a little blurry and I have to blink or rub my eye to focus my vision but only make things worst. I don't know why he prescribed me toric lenses and not regular contact lenses. I do see much better with my regular single vision glasses

Do cosmetic contacts make your eyes water?


I'm planning on wearing red mesh contact lenses for the first time for a bat costume however I'm also going to be wearing face paint. I was just wondering if my eyes would water and make the paint run and if it's best not to give an eye-liner type effect with the face paint so it's not too close to the eye.

Are soleko contacts safe?


I live in the United States but i'm interested in the Italian brand Soleko Queenâ€Â™s Solitaire. I'm little hesitant about ordering these lenses because I've read a few horror stories about how people had damaged their eyes wearing circle lenses. Even though these aren't circle lenses, the fact that i have to order them via the internet from another country makes me a little leery…

The website that i would like to order from is http://www.lensmarketplace.com/

So I want to know from you;

Has anyone had a bad experience while wearing these lenses?

How many of you have worn these lenses for at least 3 months? Any changes in your eye health/condition?

How many of you have tried the other contacts sold on this website like; adore, waicon, solotica, etc? What were your experience with them?

P.S. I already wear contacts and know to wash hands first, change solution, air out contact container, etc. However, my prescription expired so I'm going to get another eye exam for this year. How difficult will it be to find an Optometrist willing to fit non FDA approved contacts?

What's wrong with my contacts? - 1


I recently got contact lenses ( 3 days ago) and i have been quite happy with them apart from needing some time getting used to putting them in and getting them out. I wore them the first day for 4 hours as advised, however i did not wear them the second day so i thought it would be a good idea to start from 4 hours again and build up from there, just to be on the safe side. I was very surprised that, by the end of day 2, when i took my contacts out my eyes felt dry, red and a bit sore, unlike the first day when i wore them for the same amount of time.However, my shock was even bigger as, when i tried to put them in today, my eyes went bloodshot and i could literally see how the redness was spreading in my eyes seconds after i put my contacts in. I tried putting them in twice with the same result. I don't understand what is happening- my hands were squeaky clean, i did not drop the lenses, they were not inside out nor were they scratched or dirty as i have cleaned them and stored them properly in their case with the advised solution which i changed regularly, but still my eyes reacted to badly to them and felt like i had soap in my eyes! PS i only tried this with my right eye so i'm not sure whether both my eyes would react this way, i was afraid of the outcome ( red and painful eyes- although they dyes down almost as fast as they appear) … What could it be? Should i g back and see my optician?

I have blue eyes but I really want brown eyes like dark chocolate brown. I do have glasses so I would prefer to get prescription ones but I don't mind if they aren't. I would like fairly cheap comfortable lenses though I can be a bit flexible on the cheap part.

How much would they cost? How much more would they cost if they were prescription ones? Would I need to go to the opticians for them to make sure my eyes are fine for contacts?

I have had circle lenses in the past but I didn't like the size of the lenses (they were 15mm) so nothing too big please. Links would be appreciated:) Thanks xxx

My doctor's office gave me expired contact lens solution?


Almost two weeks ago my doctor gave more four different boxes of contact lens solutions. They were all expired between 2011 and 2013. I am really worried now because I've been using that for two weeks. My eyes are not really something I'd like to play with. IDK what I should do now. Should I talk with them, report them or something like that?

I had a computer science test on arrays, but I failed it. Here is something relevant to strings.

String str = "Contact lenses";

System.out.println(str.length(. = 14
System.out.println(str.indexOf("lenses"… = 8
System.out.println(str.contains("L". = false
System.out.println(str.substring(2, 7. = ntact
System.out.println(str.substring(10. = nses

Are the following outputs correct?

0.00 contact lenses improved my vision?


I'm shortsighted in both eyes but it's quite severe in my left one. I ordered 0.00 no vision correction circle lenses a while ago and they have sorted out my vision. Nothing is blurry in the distance anymore and everything is sharp.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about it but is this a common thing that happens?

I keep reading about why he started wearing glasses, hello it's 2014 and you're a multi-millionaire, contact lenses improve your peripheral vision over glasses and don't make you look like a dork. Keep hitting sub.200 you scrub.
