How to properly clean contact lens case?
Is it necessary to air dry your case after you rinse it with solution? Or can I just put new solution right away right after I've already rinsed them and I'm good to go?

I have several eye problems, what are my options for vision correction?
Hi all,
Unfortunately, I was born with horrible vision and it's slowly getting worse. At 22 years old, astigmatism, a thin cornea and a torn retina make my prescription equal to HM for "hand-movements". I spoke to my optometrist the other day about LASIK and she said that because my cornea was already thin that I might not even be eligible for the operation. She told me she'd check it out, though, which leaves me some hope.
This is the thing: My vision is terrible and as a result my prescription eye glasses average out to be about $1, 000. They're expensive, and if I have to get a new pair of $1, 000 glasses every 2 years or so, I might as well front the cost of corrective surgery. Additionally, having thick glasses is kind of embarrassing and, even if surgery can't completely correct my vision, improved eye sight would open up my options to different styles of glasses as well as minimize the embarrassment of thick lenses.
I've tried contacts, but because of my level of eyesight, I can only wear the hard lenses which are extremely uncomfortable. Judging by this information, of additional info if you need it, am I able to get ANY type of vision correction other than glasses/contacts or am I just SOL? I don't really know too much about how the other operations work so if you wouldn't mind explaining I'd really appreciate it.
Either way, I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks

What's my inborn eye condition?
From birth, or atleast as long as I can remember, I've had vision problems. On my left eye, it's completely blurry. Can't see even outlines of people's faces or read the biggest letter E on a Snellen Chart, even up close. My right eye is fine, but nearsighted. None of my eyes could be fixed by corrective lenses. No doctor here in the Philippines can tell me what my eye defect is especially the left one, which is my main concern cause lately I've been feeling depressed on not seeing stereoscopic 3d or depth. One doctor finally diagnosed me with microcornea, but even he isn't sure.

What is really the true meaning of hazel (colour)?
Apart from the tree called hazel and the hazel nuts, hazel as a colour has many meanings.
Everybody consider hazel as a mix of green and brown especially when they refer to the eye colour.
But I've found out in many dictionaries that it means light brown or reddish brown as a definition.
And wikipedia mentions that hazel eyes are mix of green+brown but sometimes it is considered light brown, because of the tree colour.
And even if you order coloured contact lenses, hazel is light brown.
So I guess I have no idea which to believe or to go with. Help people.
Thank you:)
Added (1). Baris thanks for your answer. My eyes are considered hazel brown as my optometrist and ophthalmologist said because they are light brown with some green so that's why I can't really guess which is it. I like this song too. Kelly Clarckson is amazing:)
Added (2). Yeah, I've heard she is like of Greek and Irish origins:)

Is it possible for human to have two different eye colour like cat?
Okay so i am a Singaporean Chinese/Japanese with black eye pupil.
(My mother is mixed with Japanese/Chinese and my father is a Japanese.)
So… I am just curious if is possible for human to have two different eye colour like some cats do.
cause i think is very cool and unique to have two different eye colour.
I have never visited any other western countries, other than Australia when i was a child,
and i envy Caucasian eye colours like grey, green and blue(those eyes looks so sparkling)… That's why i always use contact lens to change my eye colour.(though it might not look the same)
Please help me and sorry for my curiosity, thanks in advances.
Added (1). Thank you everybody for answering and clarifying. ^^
Added (2). Erm sorry, but what is shock jockeys? = =?
Added (3). It must be a blessing to have those eyes, i really envy them.
