How to read contact lens prescription from box?

I have Biofinity toric contact lenses. I'm trying to order circle lenses offline and I can't figure out what my prescription is. This is what the boxes say;
Left eye:
BC 8.7
DIA 14.5
PWR +6.00
CYL -0.75
AX 050

Right eye:
BC 8.7
DIA 14.5
PWR +5.50
CYL -0.75
AX 100

I don't understand what any of these numbers mean and how to get my prescription out of that, because the website is only asking for one number. Please help.

Where can I get non-prescription yellow contact lenses in Las Vegas?

I need to find yellow contact lenses for a costume, and I don't have time to order online. Is there a local store or mall kiosk that sells them in the Las Vegas area? They must be non-prescription.

I read a post from 2010 that said a stand outside/near the AdventureDome had them. Can anyone confirm that 4 years later this still exists?

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.

If I wear red-blue 3d glasses, and take them off, I can still see red and blue for a couple minutes?

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.

Does anyone know what causes that phenomenon?

What to name my online contact lens boutique?

I am opening an online store where I am selling Freshlook contact lens, I am looking for a cute name to name my store. Something catchy and girly at the same time. I found some other sites named pinkyparadise, juststylemeboutique, jsmb, icandy, eyecandy, etc and I am looking for a name along those lines for color contacts. The name will be used for my website/instagram/fb page. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

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?

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.
