Sorry, what does "Focus a month Le s with a med modulus design and fit great" mean? "Focus Monthlies with a medium modulus design fit great" maybe?

When you're shopping for eye glasses, what is the biggest factor in finding just the right one? Is it the shape of the frames? The color? Maybe you go by the size of the frames. Some like big and...

I found this quote by "Heather" on a fashionista website: "One pair is just not enough!

We are talking about fashion here ladies! Who has just two pairs of earrings or two scarves? Who among us...

What was your reaction the first time you saw your friend with their new Bongo glasses? Did you tell them how much you liked them? If so, how did they react? Did they say "I know, they're awesome,...

Who here has the strongest prescription in their Berkshire Chase glasses? Can anyone give me their upper limits?

Pupillary distance is the distance between your pupils. Not just your eyes in general, but your pupils in particular. I see it sometimes when I'm reading about glasses, but I don't know why it's...

For those of you who like to order your Big Men's glasses on line, how do they ship them to you so they don't get broken? Are they so big that they require extra postage?

Most people have special lenses in their glasses these days, because actual glass glasses are heavy, slide down the nose, and break easily. Do you have the option of buying Architecture glasses with...

Have you ever gone back to your eye doctor for an adjustment to your frames? Maybe the front part was crooked or something and the bent them for you. How did it go? Did they do it for free? Do you...

I'd like to see more pictures, too. Maybe on or two where we can see your whole face. I like seeing faces.

That's more like it. I'm glad we got to see a picture of your face, too. :)

Honestly it looks more like a lobster. Claws down, tail up.

More likely, Benny would accidentally use a woman's skirt to clean his own glasses, and when the tops of her thigh-high stocking sere revealed, she'd start smacking him repeatedly.

I'll answer your second question first. Computer Vision Syndrome comes from the strain of focusing on a computer screen that's closer than the road ahead when you're driving, but farther than a book...

The AV 1014 style has frames made of metal.

I don't blame you for wanting more than adequate, Hockeymama17. Multi-focus lenses have the near, intermediate and far powers built into each lens and it does take some getting used to when you...

Thank you for that very complete report. I like a thorough review of lenses. I have one question though. Can you explain those parameters you mentioned? I've always read contact lens parameters in...

Those lenses sounds great. Are they expensive?

Hi Valhalla. Sorry about the trouble you're having. The only thing I would have to add is to make sure you have evidence to back you up. I don't have to tell you that when you contact the Better...

I understand base curve and diameter, but what's "lens size"? Don't base curve and diameter describe the size?

If someone is using this thread to advertise, it's a much better job than some of the ads I'd seen here early in the morning. They don't even pretend to be subtle--nor do they pretend to be relevant...

It looks as though Lens.com is selling off their remaining supplies of Focus 1-2 Week lenses. "While Supplies Last" the site says. I'd be interested to know if anyone buys their lenses from there.

Did you find anything helpful in that big long thread I told you about?

That was a fast answer. Thanks for your reply. Maybe you can look around Lens 101 and see if your experience can help you help someone else.

Bummer. It's too bad he doesn't have a workshop in his office so he could fix your lenses instead of just replacing them.

When you say your eyes feel "all tired," does that mean that your eyelids feel heavy?

The trouble I'm having is finding a word that means the opposite of "viscous." "Thin" brings up too many unrelated results, and "watery" only gives results for watery eyes. (Your question comes up in...

Sweet. You sound like just the person we need to join the ranks of our Contact Lens Experts.
I'm glad you get so much positive attention for you contacts. I can't wait to see the pictures.

Hi Emerald Queen. Welcome to Lens 101. What was the first brand of contact lenses you wore?

Hi Lucienne77. Are you really from Malta? That's cool. I thought I'd read about someone else on this forum who was also from the islands of Malta. Some coincidence, eh?

If you're looking for some...

Great. We can't wait to see them. Me personally, I like to see the person's face when they're wearing contact lenses. Some people take a closeup picture of their eyes, but I'd rather see a face than...

Do you have a new doctor, jbloom?

Great, that's just what I was looking for. Thanks.

If you want to buy one that looks like that, it's called a Visol Contact Lens Travel Kit. I found it on Amazon.com for about 25 dollars American.

Thanks for letting us know that. I guess you must be pretty good at taking your contacts out and putting them back in by now.

Did you say you wore glasses before you started wearing D3LT contact lenses?

Did you get any unusual instructions about how to take care of them?

I think Georgiaonmymind wanted to know what it cost for the doctor to fit the lenses for you. Did you think it was expensive?

Are you over 40 DEUXA?

Good, that's why we're here. I hope you get a lot of useful information here.

Thanks for your vote, DEUXA.

Clearing water? Do you mean clear water? Just plain water?

Let's see how that Google translator works.

I believe in Turkish you say "Ovasi" or "net" water.

Do you have a kit like it?

Well, now we know they come in little bottles with sky blue caps . . .

We'd like to see how they look in your eyes.

Did you ask your doctor about those Hydrasoft lenses?

Well, if your eye doctor told you to change them every two weeks, then that's what you should have done.

Maybe the next time you see your doctor you can say something like "Hey, I found this...

Very cool. They also noticeably improve your peripheral vision as well?

Which brings up another question. Would you pay that much for a pair of contact lenses just so you could say you buy American?

Careful how you answer. That "morans" guy might beat you up. :eek:

I've never heard of Benz research H2O lenses. Are they as good as the others on your list?

I've never paid extra for a packing number. I was always just able to look it up. Not to be nosy, but do you order things from other countries very often? I must admit my experience with such things...

Oh, it's Sexy Eye Patch Amy Pond.

I think They Might Be Giants might just go for that. They might even write a song about them. They've already written a song about mammals.

It's 2012 now and babybluesmissing is still missing.

Yes, and I hope you can find a teeny tiny "Sanitized For Your Protection" sash to put on there.

I'm glad this thread was helpful to you. I hope you'll come back and tell us what your doctor says about the RGP lenses and the Air Optix Aquas.

Thanks, sylvia. I can see the word "TEST" in your right eye, but I don't see the word "demo" in the other eye.

Wow, that's probably the most interesting post I've read here on Lens 101. It sure sounds like you've had your share of troubles. I wouldn't pin my hopes on the Bates Method though, if I were you. If...

If they were RGP lenses, there's a good chance they were Boston. Keep in touch and let us know where you want to go from here.

You make a good point, but nobody likes to be called "stupid" or "lazy."

It sounds to me like nakedeyes would like an answer. I guess the question came up because you said "Both [1 Day Acuvue and Acuvue 2] are made of the same material. The center thickness for both...

Okay, here's Elegance Opaque (which is hard to find on line any more):

. . . and here's Hidrocharme Ice (and bonus nose...

Did you get that, JamesTarp? Look awesome?

That young man appears to be using a telescope in broad daylight. Observing the local "heavenly bodies" perhaps?

So does that mean that old RGP lenses become uncomfortable? Can Georgiaonmymind rest assured that people will replace their year old contact lenses willingly?

I would imagine that the sensation would have more to do with the lens interacting with my eye. What about when I get a bit of dust in my eye? Is it irritating my eyelid or my eyeball? Perhaps I've...

Do you still feel that way after reading this thread all the way down?

I've never tried it myself, but Kevin Wu has, and this is what he said in his Amazon review:

Here's what MayoClinic.com has to say about Fuchs Dystrophy:

That looks like a toric prescription to me. If it wasn't, it would just have the first number for each eye. Like this:

R: -5.5
L: -6.0

Hi there dvndb. Welcome to Lens 101. Your question is a common one, but I can't seem to find the answer. I wish there was a website that said "Elegance Opaque/Natural Touch contact lenses have been...

That was back in thread #11, right? Thanks for getting me to check. Last we heard from Gorluff he/she was going to check out Lens.com in post #16.

I know the defrosters in my car make my eyes feel dry sometimes. I don't like it blowing right in my face. Is that why you find yourself turning down the defog in your car, ronmann?

Just in case we need to be reminded of the point of this thread . . .

Hear, hear.

Even better: "I'm not fat, I'm Winnie-the-Pooh-like."

I know what you mean. Maybe I was spoiled by the BBC version:

More to the point of this thread, I wonder if ocmrsb is going...

Is there anything a person can do to make the adaptation period go smoother, if not quicker?

I think those Soleko Perla lenses look very different in different light.

You started a whole entire thread here, aribelle. Did it help? Did these helpful tips help you prevent another torn lens?

That's a good idea. It's also sensible to add just a little bit more solution because even in a sealed container, there might be a little bit of evaporation, right? If the edges of the lenses get...

So you can just rinse the cases with plain water and then fill them with solution and that will be okay?

I guess no one was planning on going to the Atlanta show. Oh well.

Yeah, this is what I'm saying. I suppose when they advertise "non-prescription" readers, they're just maginifiers that don't have to be specially made according to a certain prescription power. When...

It's been almost a month at this point, Tonythetiger. So far so good.

Thanks Tony. What a nice thing to say.

They are reading glasses that have very narrow frames which can be carried in a tubular carrying case.

Hey . . . who's been using my name? I don't have a daughter.

That's weird . . .

I wouldn't mind looking like Theodore Roosevelt. Although I probably wouldn't want those glasses pinching my nose like that though. Maybe some cool Presidential shades . . .

I know that when I get that test done sometimes it's hard to say which one is better. On a different day I may chose a different view, but I think the major lenses would be he same every day and...

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that losing weight made someone less attractive.

Still--a thousand dollars for custom contact lenses? Are they made of diamond? Do the colored lenses have gold foil or something? The most expensive customized contact lenses I could find on Lens.com...

Yes, it certainly is. How long are those $450 lenses supposed to last?

Thanks for sharing your story, borderline. Why were you changed to Biofinity after wearing the Frequency Xcel for so long? Did you feel like your eyes weren't getting enough oxygen and tell your...

That's an interesting observation, John. I guess that explains pretty well how I feel about Lens 101. I feel like I need to do my part to make sure this forum keeps going. I don't want to to be...

Do you have to fill them up? How about just adding enough solution to cover the lenses and keep them from drying out?

You're right, Sylvia. Those blue eyes are striking. Especially with the blue top. Good choice.

Really? They don't ask you what base curve and diameter you need? No wonder they don't stay put.

Wow, that's an expensive gamble. You'd better be pretty sure that's what you want. If they look as good on me as they do on you though, I'd be happy. :)

Refresh my memory. What kind of Acuvue lenses did you try? Thanks for the other recommendations as well.
