Why do we have to dry our hands before handling contact lens?

I don't understand why we should dry our hands before putting contact lens on. I wash my hands really well with soap and water. Then I just use the contact solution and squeeze a few drops on my fingers before I touch my contacts. Supposedly pathogens/bacteria thrive in water. But if I dry my hands, where do the germs go? They got onto my towel? They evaporated because of the dryness? They simply disappear? They are dead when there is no water? I'm sure that my dry towel could have a lot of germs on it too right?

My glasses has one yellow lens and one that is not - is that normal?

I realize it s probably a strange thing to ask, but it has been bothering me for a while. Basically, the left lens on my glasses has a slight yellow tint to it but the right one does not. Is this normal or perhpas even intentional? If not, does it affect my eyes in any way? I should say that I did have one of the lens replaced a few days after I first got my glasses (because of a scratch), but it wasn t until months later that I realized this oddity. I don t remember which lens I got replaced either or if that one was yellow or not. I just basically want to know if it's something I should worry about.

Do you wear glasses/contact lenses? - 1

I'm 19 and all my friends wear either contact lenses or glasses, I'm the only one who doesn't. Neither me or my brother (who is 17) need them as we still have very good eyesight. My dad (who I take after) didn't need glasses until he was 25. Everyone else seems to need them so much earlier so we must be quite lucky.

Why are my eyes always red?

My eyes are always really red and sometimes my vision is blurry. This has been happening for months. It gets a little better when I wear my glasses or at least my eyes don't hurt. It gets worse when I wear contacts. I work as a software developer so I'm looking at a monitor at least 8 hours a day. I do however take small 2-3 minute breaks about every 1.5 hours to go to the bathroom or go refill my water bottle. I am near-sighted. I have the night and day contacts but only wear them for maybe 5 hours during the day. I started using the opti free pure moist solution the doctor recommended last time I went in for my exam a couple months ago but that hasn't helped at all. I have also tried TheraTears Contact Lens solution and it just made my eyes burn. At that exam he also upped my prescription in my left eye from -8.00 to -8.50 (my right eye is still at -8.00). My glasses are also a weaker prescription than my contacts so perhaps that is why my eyes don't hurt as bad when I wear my glasses. My eyes aren't red from being tired because I get about 8 hours of sleep every night. I do however have seasonal allergies which I take Zyrtec for but they are only to pollen. I would appreciate any help or suggestions anyone has from similar past experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Right eye: cyl 0.75, axis 175

And i was prescribed astigmatism glassea so my question is, is it possible to have 6\6 visual acuity and astigmatism at the same time? And do i have to wear my glasses all the time? And does astigmatism gets worse by age? Noting that i read books alot and use my cellphone and computer alot as well.
I'd really appreciate if you can answer any of my questions.

I had an eye test today, but didn t have much time to ask about the details; could somebody elaborate based on the picture below? I was told that I am not long or short sighted, but that I have astigmatism… What exactly does this mean?



Also, the optician recommended I wear glasses for a few months before lenses, however I really would like lenses, as I want to wear these mostly, and also need them for sport etc. Is this a bad idea?

Thanks.

Will the curvature of my contact lenses cause any discomfort or damage for my eyes?

I have just had my eye exam recently and I have a new trial of lenses with the same prescription, but different curvature. Yesterday, I accidentally tore my left lens for some reason. I want to continue wearing the lenses I have from last year of the same prescription just to use them up. However, since they have the same prescription with different curvature, I am not sure if it is safe to wear them to replace my torn lens. Is it safe to wear them with different curvature? Will anything happen?

What are the best contact lenses for a dry environment and dry eyes?

I'm using AcuVue Advance Plus right now. In the past, an eye doctor told me that the AcuVue Oasis were the best at staying moist for a longer time throughout the day. However, they became quite uncomfortable in general and another eye doctor (same place) told me that he has had a lot of complaints about Oasis drying out. He switched me to the Advance Plus.

Is there anything better than this? I have taken a new job in printing. Machines run all day long, output a lot of heat and the air is dry in general.

What are the measurements that are taken after an eye exam?

You hold up this binocular-like device, look at the green dot at the bottom and I presume that they are measuring the distance from iris to iris. However, she didn't tell me to look at the green dot at the bottom until after she had already made some measurements. You can also see their eye(s) at the top through a lens.

I was wondering because at my previous eye appointment at the same doctor, I got an eye exam and came in with my old glasses. They were about 6 years old because I mostly wear contacts. They gave me -6.75 glasses in each eye. When they came back, they were extremely blurry. When I returned, she told me that, "Maybe we were a little overzealous on your prescription." She was then going to make my glasses -6.00, which is what my old pair (that I can't see as well with) is. When I told her that I can't see as well as I used to out of them, she went to -6.25. Realistically, I felt like I was having to tell the eye doctor what my prescription should be and she seemed clueless. :-\

I think their measurements at the end after the exam (I didn't have a second exam) were also wrong, because the eye doctor told them to do my measurements again. So, I was wondering what this device does.

I'm not allowed contact lenses?!

I'm almost 17 and have been wearing glasses for around 10 years. I'm sick of them I want soft contact lenses now.

But my mum doesn't want to buy me them, it's NOTHING to do with money she just doesn't want me to get them and tells me to shut up every time I ask about them and tells me 'she'll call the optician (eye doctor) in her own time'

I'm old enough but my mother is a controlling freak and acts as if she doesn't want me to mutter the words 'contact lenses' even though she wears them herself which is pretty hypocritical if you ask me.

What will I do? I know you'll say I'm old enough to do it myself but if you were in my shoes you'd understand that she would do anything to make sure I don't do it myself.

Can i darken my sunglasses?

My friend got me a pair of sunglasses (it was a buy 1 get 1 free and she knew i was looking for new ones)

Im not a fan of the frame color but thats not as important as the size and shape and these happen to be just the right size and shape BUT the lenses have a gradual tint that starts medium-light and goes almost clear at the bottom.

My eyes are extremely sensitive to light i get mild sunburns from too much sun exposure these do have a UV treatment so they should be ok but to be safe id rather have them darker the less light that gets thru the better but i still need to be able to see for driving and stuff like that.

Id like to do this the cheapest way possible and at home if possible

Should I visit an eye doctor? Severe eye pain when removal of contacts. Or any advice?

For the past few months whenever I take either of my contacts out I get severe pain, to the point I cannot open my eyes and they re watering and burn and sting worse than I ve ever experienced for roughly 10 minutes then it s fine. I ve had a scratched cornea before and it s nothing like this.
I m probably the worst contact lens wearer, I do sleep in them and go a month or so without taking then out or changing them (I know what can happen and I know the consequences)
I recently moved so I don t have a set eye doctor and already used up my free appointment through insurance for the year so I m wondering if it s worth the money to go or if anyone else has experienced this.

I slept in my contact lenses for 3 hours, do I need to throw them away?

I know sleeping in your contacts is bad, but last night I accidentally slept in them for three hours. When I woke I immediately went to wash my hands, fill the case with new solution, and take them out. My eyes looked the same as usual, but the only difference was they felt a bit dry for a while, but now they feel normal again too. When I went to take them out, they felt a bit tighter around my eye and when I moved them with my finger they just kinda stayed there instead of sliding back into place. I still made sure I followed all the correct procedures when taking them out though. I need to know if my eyes will be okay, and I need to know if I can keep the lenses.
