Particle in contact lenses?


Today is day three of wearing contact lenses. I'm not home and I was looking in the mirror and I can see a little particle in the lense, though it's not affecting my vision. I stupidly didn't bring a spare case or my solution with me. Will I be safe until I get home?

Contacts to change eye color?


So not long ago I heard about contacts that change your eye color. I've been trying to track them down, but with no luck. So my question is 1. Where would I get a pair of these contacts, 2. Will they damage the eye, and 3. Do they have them in "non-prescription" form.

Thanks,
Red
Added (1). Could I get them in blue also, I have a plan that I need blue eyes for.

Convert toric prescription to spherical prescription?


I know that it won't be as equivalent to toric lenses, but I want to be able to buy these specific colored contact lenses for occasional wear that only use spherical prescriptions.

Is there a certain formula that is used to convert toric to spherical?

My prescription:

Right eye
D: -1.00
CYL/AXIS: -0.75 / 170
BC: 8.5
DIA: 14.5

Left eye
D: +0.00
CYL/AXIS: -2.25 / 180
BC: 8.5
DIA: 14.5

If you can calculate it for me that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is it worth buying anti-reflective glasses?


Hello,
are anti-reflective glasses beneficial for reducing eye strain when looking at the screen? I'm using the computer practically every day for long periods and due to this, dark circles have developed under my eyes. Also, it's worth mentioning that I usually don't wear glasses and I have never had the need of using them. As far as I'm aware, antii-reflective attributes do indeed reduce eye strain when staring at the screen, but only if you normally wear glasses. This is why I wonder if there is any difference between not using glasses and using anti-reflective glasses.

Why do I feel like there's something in my eye every time I take my contact lenses out?


I recently got monthly contacts (probably a month ago) and I noticed that every time I take them out, I feel like there's something in my eye. I've tried washing them, keeping them closed or open, rubbing them, etc. I know I'm not supposed to rub them, but it just hurts so much sometimes.cis it because the contacts scratched my eye? Thanks

How long does it take to make disposable contact lenses?


So if I have an eye appointment on Friday and I'm getting disposable contacts, how long would it take for them to be made?

I'd really like to have them before the 22nd because I'm going on a 4 day trip out of town for band camp, and we're going to be out in the blazing sun for most of the day. It'd be nice to have them by then because my glasses's transition lenses aren't very dark and I prefer to have normal sunglasses (which don't fit over glasses, unfortunately).

Any help would be appreciated!

Conch piercing (cartilage) feels numb/odd…what is it? An infection or alergic reaction?


I got my conch piercing a week and a half ago at a good piercing shop. It was pretty good besides the one day it hurt which was the day after i got it. But thats normal. However, for about two days my ear has started to feel odd. It felt numb, when i touched it i could feel it but it feels not right. I had a blue/ purple bruise (i think) around the stud for about a week and it is fading. However the numbness seems to get worse. I have been cleaning my ears twice daily; once with contact lenses solution(my piercer said i could use that) and a sea salt and water soultion at night for 5 mins. I have not touched the piercing a lot. The only bad thing i did was go to a lake however i wore an ear cap so not alot of water went on my ear. But some did. I am wondering what is wrong with my ear. Why does it feel numb (it doesnt hurt it just feels numb).is it an early stage of infection? Or is it an allergic reaction ( i had pierced my ear lobes twice when i was younger and got an allergic reaction from sliver and gold. I do not know what type of metal they used. If it is an allergic reaction can i change it to a silicon or titanium stud evem though it has been only a week and a half? I heard your suppose to keep the original piercing for at least four months for a conch piercing. Please Help!
