Recently had trauma to my eye, would you date a guy that had to wear an eye patch?

I recently was in an accident which has deformed my eye. I still need two more surgeries before I can think of getting a prosthetic contact lens(so it will be at least 1year before i can consider getting one). Its really hard adjusting to wearing an eye patch with all the stares and pirate comments you get every time you go in public as I am a pretty timid/introverted person. Would you ever date someone with an eye patch? This has really shot my self confidence right down, I just want to go back to feeling normal again.
Added (1). I know its superficial but I used to get complimented on my eyes all the time and not I have to wear this big black thing over one of them. Would it weird you out dating someone with one or would that be a non-factor?

Is it safe to wear cosmetic lenses?

I've been wearing cosmetic lenses for almost more than a year now and I wanted a second opinion.
I've experimented with several different sizes of lenses and I've found what seems the perfect fit for me which is the most comfortable and doesn't cause me any redness or irritation unless worn for too long. Also doesn't slide around on my eye when I blick and I can't even feel them. Even though I find this to be my perfect fit I've just lately decided I wanted to make better decisions for my eyes by switching to a pair that is FDA approved. I was planning on getting a fitting but the brand I am purchasing is only sold online because it is not well known like acuvue or freshlook but has excellent ratings when it comes to safety and comfort. Due to these circumstances I was planning on buying my new pair (FDA approved) in the same size as my old pair since it has never failed me nor given me any eye problems. The sizing is exactly the same as the old brand I use to purchase from. Is that okay?

Note: Just recently have talked with my doctor and he says my eyes are in great condition.

Using Monthly disposable lenses even after a month?

I usually buy monthly disposable contact lenses but i hardly use the lenses ( like 2-3 times a month) so is it ok even if i use it after a month? Usually my doctor advises me to dispose it after a month even if i use the lenses 5 times in a month.

Where can I get a cheap contact exam?

I want to start wearing circle lenses again but I want to be safe this time by knowing my eye measurements(base curve & diameter) so the lenses can fit my eye correctly. I just want to be able to get the information for a decent price and be on my way. I don't want to pay a extra fee for clear lenses because I don't wear them. I just want a smooth exam for a cheap price.

Can I wear normal contact lenses though I have astigmatism?

How to get rid of cornea infection?

I couldn't even open my eyes to eat dinner this thanksgiving. My eye doctor gave me anti-biotic drops that don't do anything, and told me to use them and wear glasses whenever it hurts, and use up all the contact lenses I have left when it doesnt.
This was 6 months ago.
After wearing fresh lenses for 6 hours my eyes got so infected it hurts like hell to open them at all.
Do I need new contacts? I use 1-800 contacts, which are not expensive but maybe that's the problem?
Do I have to spend all my college money in order to ******* see?!

Is it bad if you wear contact lenses that aren t your number?

I got these samples of the disposable Acuvue 1-Day contact lenses and the thing is they only sell them with the same power. My right eye is -1.50 and my left eye is -1.25. So, I got samples for -1.50 to try them on. My right eye is fine but my left eye is not really fine xD Like it s not blurry but it s not comfortable either. I can see well but it s just a little uncomfortable. Could it be cause I m not used to it? So should I buy the contact lenses or not? I only need them for around 6 days, is it fine or not?

Will hard contact lenses (rigid gas permeable) come out when riding a rollercoaster?

I'm going to an amusement park in a few days and I'm not sure if my contacts would stay in my eyes when riding a rollercoaster. They shift really easily and I'm afraid they might come out when I'm on the rollercoaster? Is this something to be worried about?

I met a girl.What to do?

I went to my old school to see my friends. There was a newcomer girl sitting in front of me. I liked her but didn't act. I was surprised when she wanted to talk. We talked in some of the lessons that are not necessary to learn. We went outside to the garden while walking and talking.

She had a problem with her lens. After she told me the situtation she immediately said it was transparent without I ask.(She has green eyes. I find it really attractive)Did she told it just because, or did she want to prevent me thinking her eyes are fake.Is it a sign?

Anyways, at the end of the day, I took her number. I told her I would call her. We don't have other means of communication. I think I can't call her to somewhere before we get closer. What should I do?

Contact lenses feel dry after taking them out?

I usually wear my comtacts for around 11-12 hours. I wear proclear toric xr or xl. And I'm in love with them. The only problem I have is when I take them out they feel like a dry material and not soft until solution is put on them. I'm scared of them ripping when they are dry because I think they can tear any time. Is this normal?

Does anyone know where I can find toric color contact lenses?

I was excited when I went in for my eye exam because I'd always wanted to try out a different eye color but when I asked if I'd be able to get color contacts I was disappointed to find out that I couldn't because I have astigmatism. Searching so far I found out that the only known manufacturer of color contacts for astigmatism stopped making them. I can't be the only person looking for them. I figured maybe someone knows of another manufacturer of the lenses.

Do you soak new contacts straight out of the package?

So I m not new to contacts but have a question that kinda popped into my head the other day. I use Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism (silicone hydrogel) and just threw out my contacts that hit the two week mark. I m gonna open a fresh pair in the morning, but was wondering, should I soak them in solution before using them? I know they are sterile atm, and are made to be used right out of the package, but if I soak them (Biotrue or Clear Care Plus with HydraGlyde) wouldn t they be more conditioned and comfortable than without any soak? (Due to the lubricants in the solutions.)

Is it still safe to use my contact lens?

I was quickly removing my contacts too hard, and looks like a ripped a really small chunk off the contact lens off the side. These are new contacts, should last 2 weeks, this is just the 3rd day I used them. Is it still safe?
Added (1). It's really minimal and doesn't look like it will do any harm. I didn't pierce the surface of the contact lens, just a small chunk on the side got removed.

What's a good idea for a online clothing store?

This question is for day dreamers, idea makers, entrepreneurs, and anyone! What have you thought would be good ideas for a clothing store? Mostly looking for inspiration Marketing and store image wise and products. For example just ANY IDEAS NONE are dumb. Like maybe always I could always use the same 5 models and have them all have a different personality in the store ( like Sam will be the edgy one who always models the dark grunge clothes) and they can build up a big social media presence. Let's work off each other. Image the store is more chic like selling laced up dresses, thigh high boots, contact lenses. // fashion

Would a big flash/explosion cause someone to need glasses?

In my novel a character is captured and forced to build a weapon. He sabotages it so that when the boss of the operation uses it, the back of the gun blows up in his face. Thing is it causes a huge explosion that has some very bright like and other ****. I was wondering if this could possibly cause the character to need glasses, but not blind him? Just weaken his eyes or something similar so that he'd end up needing glasses to see well/ damage would be correctable by lenses? I know it's a bit of a vague description, but I'm just wondering if anyone can give an idea? Thanks in advance!
