Have had allergic conjunctivitis for almost a month now?

I woke up about a month ago with red, crusted shut eyes. I immediately went to the doctor and they told me bacterial pink eye so they gave me eye drops for that. I finished the antibiotic, ceased contact lenses and eye makeup, and my eyes were NOT crusting anymore but still red. I went back to the doctor because they were burning and irritated. They then told me allergic conjunctivitis, which isn't completely surprising because I've always suffered from awful allergies. They prescribed me Pazeo and my eyes are a little less red, but it's still there. I'm starting to become impatient and wondering if my eyes are ever going to return to normal because it's been a month. Can I possibly start wearing makeup again? Or will I recontaminate?

Why do my new glasses feel so different? Can going from progressives to regular lenses make everything look warped and far away?

I just new glasses for the first time in four years. My prescription apparently only changed slightly in the past four years. My old prescription was right eye -6.50 sphere and no cylinder/axis, and my left eye -5.25 sphere with -1.25 cylinder and 170 axis. They were also progressive lenses with a +1.00 add.
I went to a new doctor and my prescription stayed the same except my left eye went from -5.25 to -5.00. The other numbers are the same as my last prescription. Is -5.00 better or worse than -5.25? But also these new lenses aren't progressives, they are just regular lenses. Can that make a huge difference? I'm not sure why this doctor didn't make them progressives. But with these new lenses, everything looks really off. Everything looks a lot farther away and much smaller, and on the outside edges everything looks warped. Things farther away do look a little bit sharper, but actually closer things seem to be the tiniest bit blurrier, especially text, I think because it looks smaller. And the ground looks farther away, sometimes the ground in front of me, especially sidewalks, look like they have a small hill/upright bump on them directly in front of me. Is this all because they aren't progressives? They're giving me a headache and I just can't seem to adjust to the new lenses. Is that small 0.25 difference in my prescription enough to disorient me this much? I've had glasses almost my whole like but I don't ever remember adjusting to new ones feeling this off.

Want to get prescription halloween/color contact lenses but can't find my strength?

My right eye is +5.00 strength and the highest I can find is +4.00. Does anyone know where I can find my strength? If not, I might try the 4.00. Thanks!

What if I don't soak my rgp lenses after I clean them?

I cleaned my lenses at about 11AM in the morning and left them to sit in the case until about 9:50PM without the hard lenses solution. I know I'm not supposed leave them to dry like that, but I foolishly forgot to soak them in a solution. When I went to put on my lenses, the lenses were somewhat sticking to the case. I then attempted to take the right lense out, but then I heard somewhat of a cracking sound. I saw that my contact had this crack appearance. I then just panicked and placed my contact back into the case and soaked it in hard lense solution. I came back a minute later to check on the contacts and saw that the crack was gone. Was it just the outline of the solution from when I cleaned my lense or is the crack just not visible. I would like if someone could help because I don't wanna pay $400 to replace the lenses…

Contact lens prescription to eyeglasses prescription?

Is there a way to get my glasses prescription from my contacts prescription? For what ever reason my eye doctor will not give me my prescription over the phone unless I get another eye exam, even though I just had one done 3 months ago. I only have the information provided on my contacts box. The PWR -3.25, BC 8.6, and DIA 14.2.

Soft contacts removal?

I'm going on a vacation, and I'd rather use daily contacts rather than my ortho-k lenses. Does a hard contact removal tool work on soft contacts, or should I just practice removing them by hand?

My clear contact lenses make my irises look bigger?

Both my 14.0mm diameter lenses and 14.2mm diameter lenses with 8.6 base curve make my irises look larger than when I have no lenses at all in my eyes. Is this normal?
