Has anyone with astigmatism ever layered on colored plano lenses over their clear prescription lenses? I've never done/heard of it until I saw a youtube video and the girl claimed that her optometrist said it was totally fine to do that.
Thoughts? |

I'm sure I saw something about that here on Lens 101, and I tried to find it, but unfortunately the search function on this forum isn't the most user-friendly I've ever come across. It doesn't like searching for words like "on" because they're "too common." You can try it yourself, but it can be frustrating. |

I can't see it being eye friendly, I mean you're doubling the layers on top of your eyes and restricting oxygen... Here is the link to the video in case anyone was interested. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bryo4XTuF_U]YouTube - I LOVE CIRCLE LENSES Review[/url] |

I kinda wish it was though, because then I'd get me some Soloticas (I have astigmatism in one eye) |

Let us know when you get the lenses and if you like them, okay? That's what Lens 101 does best.
|

Unfortunately not, I still haven't received them because they are a specific order (toric and special base curve). I was told that one has arrived but we're just waiting for the second. I should get both shortly and I haven't forgotten about you guys - I'll post pictures!

Ah sorry for the confusion! The person I bought them from orders directly through the manufacturer. He has one of the lenses and is waiting for the second to arrive in order to ship them out to me. Hope that's a little more clear.

So, wait. They're sending them to him one at a time??
|
|

Okay, it's time for someone to ask a stupid question, and it might as well be me. Why don't you cut out the middle man and order them from the manufacturer yourself? Is there some kind of secret handshake involved or something that you don't know?
|
|

|
I would think that ordering direct would be the best way to go too. Why order from someone who has ordered from someone else--unless there's a price break.
|
|

|
There's probably a price break. Like when people fly from Boston to Denver by way of Anchorage in order to save money.

Turns out his aunt is an optician which means he gets access to the manufacturer. I don't, especially since I live in North America and these lenses are from Argentina.
I got them and love them so far, I make a post about it with pics. |

Oh good. We love pictures!

Ive tried it with white novelty lenses at halloween. I dont normally wear toric lenses, I just have a slight astigmatism in one eye, but not enough to need torics. I'm just careful to get more blended lenses and stay away from ones with dramatic outer rings on them because I think it would draw too much attention to the way the lens sits on that eye and make me look a bit googley eyed.
When I did try the white out lenses over my regular ones, it didnt sit well and because of the funny shape of my eye, didnt sit in the exact proper way to give me a complete white out of my iris, like I had on my normal shaped eye. But the whiteout lenses are very dramatic and I think a regular coloured lens would have been far less noticable. It was years ago and I didnt wear it for long and I cannot really remember it if was comfortable or not. One thing I would be careful about though, is that the lenses may dry out and stick together and you may end up tearing one or both of them trying to get them apart. |

When you say your eyes "showed signs of retinal hypoxia," don't you mean "corneal hypoxia"? The retina is on the back surface of the inside of your eye and I don't see how contact lenses can prevent oxygen from getting there. I've always heard of corneal hypoxia being an issue with contact lenses because the lens sits right on your cornea. Maybe your doctor really did mean to say "retinal hypoxia." Am I mistaken? |

Don't be too embarrassed, Deejayt. You've contributed so much good information and personal experience to this site (not to mention some nice pictures) that we'll overlook a little terminology trouble. Next time you'll know, right? |

Seems like what would be really uncomfortable? It's easier to understand your replies when you use the "quote" button. That or do like they taught us in school and answer in complete sentences.
At any rate, welcome to Lens.com, shaunatron. That name sounds like you might be one of those robots we talked about that supposedly creates the questions around here. I'm a real live person, and I think you are too. How did you come up with that cool name? I'm glad to have you on Lens 101 and I look forward to your future contributions. |

Wearing two lenses in the same eye, one on top of the other, is sometimes called "piggy backing" and it's not unheard of. As I understand it, generally people put colored lenses on top of clear prescription lenses. So they can see and be seen in their new eye color. |

Have you posted those pictures yet, Deevine?
