Lazy eye and prism lenses?

I was told after visiting the eye doctor that my lazy eye and vision is getting worse. I'm in my late 20s and that I'm not a candidate for the surgery. I was told prism glasses will be needed full time. I was wondering going from contacts to glasses with a prism will there be a big change. Also I have been told that my lenses with prisms will be thicker. I've picked out my glasses and waiting for them to be done. I was wondering how thick they will be? My prediction is -3.5 in each eye and my prism strength is -3.0 in each eye. She said the prism is used in both eyes to balance the thickness of the lenses since I had a strong prism correction. Will the prism be be noticeable when looking at my glasses from the front or side

What should I do about my stuck contact lens?

I've been trying to get it out since last night. Soft contact lense. I've tried loosening it with the solution, getting it to the side, everything! It's almost completely on the white of my eye and hasn't budged. Do I need to get in to see a doctor today?

Why aren't brown eyes called pretty?

I'm very insecure about my brown eyes. When I go to birthdays or meet people outside of school, I always put on my blue contact lenses and get compliments on my eyes. When they're brown, no one says anything. I've observed this many times; typically when someone has bright blue/green/grey eyes, they get compliments like "your eyes are gorgeous" or "wow they l love your eyes", but when someone has brown eyes, you rarely see anyone even mentioning their eyes, let alone complimenting them. I've seen this both in areas where brown eyes are common, and in areas where blue eyes are dominant. Even in the contact lense industry majority of contacts manufactured are light-colored, because there's such a huge demand/want for light eyes.

Why do people never compliment dark eyes? I hate myself for not liking my own eyes, but I still feel like I need to cover them up in order to feel attractive…

Can soft lenses cause keratoconus?

If you see those videos in youtube about removing contact lenses, you'll see most of them tell you to slide the lens away from the cornea to the temporal side, and pinch it out when it's resting on the sclera. A long time back when I used contacts for the first time (in 2003), my ophthalmologist taught me the same procedure.

With practice, I have learned to insert/remove the lenses without the aid of a mirror. Now, without a mirror, I can't see the lens if I slide it away from the cornea, so I pill it straight from the cornea instead of sliding it away first. My fingernails are always clipped so there's no risk of scratching the cornea, but when I pinch them out, due to surface tension the lens has some hold on the cornea and i can feel a slight "pull" when the lens leaves the cornea and comes to my fingers.

Will this pulling effect cause keratoconus on the long run?

Light brown/hazel contacts recommendations?

So I have really dark asian eyes but pale skin and have practically tried every colour of lenses. I have tried circle lenses in every colour and brand as well as quartzo and mel from solotica and now I want to try light brown/hazel contacts.
If anyone has any recommendations?
This was the colour i was hoping for.

Added (1). Because i'm half asian I know it wouldn't look strange as when I have worn realistic green contacts (mel hidrocor from solotica) many thought it was my own eye colour.
I'm hoping for the most realistic contacts, has anyone tried adore bitone hazel?

Could I ask for a slightly weaker prescription?

Ok so I started off by doing the wrong thing! Basically I went about 4 years without an eye test (thank god my eyes are healthy and I've had two tests so i know they are). I've been prescribed a stronger pair of glasses which they have doubled checked is right at my second eye test.
However I feel that the lenses might be too strong. It's been difficult for me to tell as I have also had a lot of problems with my head recently (labrynthitus and acute sinusitis). So I'm finding it hard to tell if my vision is affected because of those or my glasses.
Sadly I think it is my glasses as the doctors haven't found any problems with my head or eyes recently.

Long story short though, I've been wearing my old ones while I've been ill because I felt the others would make my headaches worse.
I may be confusing people here but basically I'm asking if I should just try and get weaker lenses so I can wear them easier for awhile? And will specsavers do it?

New glasses, blurry in one eye?

I just got new glasses. Same prescription, different lens. My vision is clear with both eyes open, but when I close my left eye, my right eye is very blurry. And when I close my right, the left is crystal clear. Is this normal?

Should I wear contact lenses for a regular eye exam?

I need to update my prescription, it's been two years since I've done so. It's just when I get ready to pick my frames, I want to be sure they're exactly what I want because in the past, I couldn't see as well when I picked them out and they looked completely different by the time my prescription was put in.
