That's right, kids. Keep your contacts clean so the oxygen can flow freely.

Ah yes. The Amy Pond Pirate Costume.

I remember it well. How about that miniskirt? Jerry Seinfeld can stay in New York, she makes me want to be a pirate. ;)

Look at this picture I found. Apparently Daysoft lenses come in packages of 32 or 96 lenses.

:confused:

Must be a metric thing.

They're comfortable and people compliment you on them. They sound like winners to me.

I think that depends on who's wearing the lenses, but in general I'd say yes, after about three weeks those monthly contacts are going to start letting you know they're getting ready to retire. The...

Have you figured this one out, or are you still waiting for an answer from luvbostonxo2?

I think we have another new slogan: "Bausch and Lomb Contact Lenses: Remember to Forget Them." We'll get our best advertising guy on it right away.

Oh, Darrin . . .

That's great GibsonSG. I'm glad that Clear Care seems to have done the trick for you. I've read a lot of good things about it here.

Until we hear from him or her again, I guess this thread is done, huh?

Hello, GibsonSG. Welcome to Lens 101. I'm glad you decided to post your question. Unfortunately, I can't really explain why you're having such a hard time finding a comfortable lens for your right...

That sounds like a pretty good plan, ShadowFoxbiH. Thanks for joining us.

I found this picture, but the color is called "Bi-Tone Grey." Is this the color you're looking for?

If you look at this picture you will see that the grey kind of fades to brown toward the pupil.

Wow, what a roller coaster. You get married and now your bother can't wear contact lenses? Can he go back to lenses someday after he heals, or is he finished with lenses forever?

How do you feel about going back to your old prescription? Do you feel like you've tried something else, it didn't work, and so now you go back to what did work, or do you feel more like you're...

I never thought about it, but do toric contact lenses cost more in general than regular lenses? Does it cost more to get fitted for toric lenses? Do exams and stuff cost more too?

When you put your OP-10 lenses in, do you use your other hand to pry your eyelids open as far as possible?

Woah. I thought I deleted that post and posted something different. You're really quick, Shaunatron!

I found something that might help with those itchy eyes.

"The most effective itchy eye remedy is applying cold compresses. For this purpose, you can use a washrag (or soft cloth) and sterile cool...

Okay. I follow you now. I can be a bit slow sometimes. :o

Have you found a way to make it easier to take those contact lenses out? Is it a lot better with dry fingers?

That was fast. Thanks.

Is there any way you can "train" yourself to keep from rubbing your eyes?

Which ones are difficult to remove? Air Optix Aqua?

Wow, pretty eyes, and I love the rainbow colors in your hair. :)

That's actual hair coloring, right, not lighting effects?

Hi shaunatron. Thanks for the pictures. Those contact lenses look nice on you. The second picture looks especially nice, although if you were sitting across from me at a restaurant or something, I...

I found this on another website: "Contact lenses can be a little less clear anyway than glasses, and toric lenses even more so." Would you say that between contact lenses, glasses and toric contact...

Would you go on record saying that Biofinity Toric lenses are the best lenses you've tried so far? Why or why not?

Most people are a little shaky on the idea of putting lenses in their eyes, but a lot of them would rather do that than wear glasses. (Good thing tot, for the contact lens industry. ;)) Many people...

Toric lenses like these have a ballast in them that keeps them from rotating. When you blink, the correct themselves if they've started to turn. I wonder if that tickles?

How well can you see with your OP-10 lenses? Are you satisfied with their performance?

If your eyes tend to be dry, how does it feel to wear Air Optix Night & Day Aqua? Is it good to wear them for only a few hours a day? Does that help?

It seems as though most people go through a period of trial and error where they go through several different brands, Goldilocks-like, until they find one that's "just right." What was it about...

Someone on a website similar to this one said that they feel better wearing their contact lenses outside than inside. I thought that was odd. Aren't there a lot more contaminates outside, in general?...

Are you bothered by hay fever or any other kind of allergies? Can you wear your Trans-aire contact lenses in the summer air(e) without suffering?

I couldn't help but notice that Lens 101 lists SGP I, SGP II and SGP III. So how does each improve upon its predecessor?

Wow, really? You don't need a prescription if you order contact lenses from outside what I presume is the United States? That may be convenient, but I would prefer to be on the safe side and order...

So you still wear that brand or have you given up and moved on to a different one?

I see you've moved on to capital letters after posting the same thing over and over again a half a dozen times.

Yes, exactly. We must be loyal to the sponsor.

"Wear Them a Day and Throw Them Away." I like it too. Tell all your friends. Whisper it to them as they sleep.

How many times are you going to post the same thing? Again, I'm sorry that happened to you, but every time I see the same exact post I have a little less sympathy.

Can you recommend a non-dotty lens?

Sorry about that. coolma. What are you going to do now about contact lenses?

Thanks for the warning, coolma. I'm sorry you had such a rotten experience at wrlens.
Are you in the US?

. . . and Pixel was never heard from again.

What makes you think Scienceguy doesn't wear RGP lenses? Is it because he didn't know about about "those suction cups . . . that you got with your first pair." I don't wear RGP lenses, so I'm...

That Staining Grid website comes in very handy for determining which solution works best for a particular brand of contact lenses. I've heard a lot of good things about Clear Care. How long have you...

Goldar's right. BarbieDoll. Clear Care should be all you need.

Hi mdude001.

It seems that Precision UV lenses were unique. I tried doing a Google search for "UV lenses" but the only thing that came up was Precision. Then I did a search for vasurfilcon A, the...

Most people look for two things in a pair of contact lenses. Comfort and clarity. Do Fluorex lenses feel comfortable and give you clear vision at the same time, or do they lack in one or both of...

What sort of things lead you to believe that RGP lenses are not the same thing as "hard" lenses, Pathfinder?

. . . that Boston XO contact lenses have an ISO/Fatt Dk of 100? Pretty impressive huh?

What does that mean? It has to do with how much oxygen flows through the contact lens to the cornea. The...

Do you have a prescription that requires an RGP lens like Boston II because it's so unusual that the only way you can see well is if you get your contact lenses custom made? Do they work well for you?

Oh. I just realized what that title sounded like. Tell me the truth. Did you come here looking for someone wearing "Boston Envision contacts and nothing else"? That's not what I meant and I hope I...

I read a description that says that RGP lenses like Boston 7 can be custom made to "exact specifications." Do any of you out there have special needs that require a precisely made prescription, and...

Thanks for your help, Eagleye.
Now, when you say "most names mean things like 'conqueror'" you mean most names for people, right? Not contact lenses? I don't think that "Acuvue" means "fairest in...

I read a review about Boston IV contact lenses that said that they provided 20/20 vision, but there was no mention of an eye exam. I want to know if anyone has been fitted with Boston IV lenses and...

I wonder if anyone here has tried Boston Equalens II and decided that they're not going back to soft disposable lenses again. If that's you, sign in here and tell us your story. You may convert an...

So you're saying that you vision is fine when you look forward to to the right, but if you look to the left, your left eye does not go all the way to the left like your right eye does, so you see...

What do you mean "dull"? Do you mean the color is not as bright, or not a shiny?

How about a light blue? Are your eyes medium or dark blue now?

Yes, I quite agree.

Good work RacerX, but since none of those sites are Lens.com, keep it "under your hat" as they say.

I wonder how long after contact lenses were invented that someone invented a tool for handling them?

I haven't made the switch myself but I would imagine that an 8.4 would be an 8.4, right?

Yes, I agree Tradecade. I don't know why trugreeneyes thinks that there aren't many color choices available in North America.

I don't think we were very helpful to you on this one, were we lisa3girls? :(

Yes, and before the wedding would be good, too.

Yeah, that's too bad isn't it.

Of course, all we have so far is my own inability to find a pronunciation. It's certainly possible for someone else to come along and save the day.

If you've been around this site very long, you will have seen that it's not unusual for a contact lens patient to be uncomfortable at first with a new pair of lenses. After a little bit of practice...

Are you sure your base curve hasn't changed?

Bottom line is that if you want contact lenses, you need a prescription. If some website or some guy in the street offers you contact lenses without a...

So is everything all straightened out now?

I think the brown and the gray blend very nicely in this picture.

That's a situation that's best avoided. So when that Special Someone gazes lovingly at you and says "You've got the prettiest eyes," that might be the time to come clean.

I tried looking this up, but nobody seems to know. The manufacturers--Independent RGP Labs--don't seem to have their own website like B & L and J & J do. (Not even some snappy initials.)

If I remember correctly, Solotica lenses are made in Brazil, and if I remember correctly, for some reason they won't sell them to customers in the U.S. Some kind of customs thing.

Can anyone help...

What will they think of next?

So let me see if I understand correctly. You have "expired" lenses that you've already worn, and the new ones are the wrong brand, correct? Did they send you toric lenses or something?

Too long, sure, but what about "too often?"

Oh, I don't know Kamille. There are people who have posted their pictures on Lens 101 but didn't get this kind of response.

Ordering contact lenses through a middle-man sounds like a lot of...

Yeah, I don't even want to get into "Underwear Syndrome."

So how is it that one can wear contact lenses "too often?" I always thought that you could wear contact lenses every day as long as...

Yes, it sounds like a bit of accidental sleight-of-hand.

That's interesting shely. Do patient's eyes roll back like that because of gravity?

Since no one has responded to our question yet John, I thought I'd just do a quick Google search, and it would seem that is not the way to get this information. The only thing I found was stuff about...

You're right, of course. I had just the contact information, nothing about the customer service. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I wonder how Yoder is getting on?

Wow. It looks like your picture is a big hit around here, Kamille206.

I wanted to ask you about something you posted earlier. You said "I'd definitely look into the Freshlook Hazel, without...

That's a beautiful green color, but is the red color on what's supposed to be the white of your eye typical? Are the Trikolor lenses comfortable once you get them in? As I said, the green looks nice,...

Thanks for the practical tip mgash. It's good to know that a person can quickly learn how to insert a contact lens with confidence.

That's a good question, OV-102. Here's the information I found in the site itself:


How long after I order my contact lenses can I expect to receive my order?

Because of the volume we ship we...

I'm guessing one vial per application, right?

That's why I carry a mallet in my trunk right next to the jack.

I'm not kidding.

Forgive me for changing the subject, but does that white bit of debris in this picture look like some kind of undergarment to anyone else, or is it just my deranged imagination?

Me again. I read this thread again and looked around and this picture caught my eye. I thought that those ice blue eyes looked amazing. Have you changed your mind about them, 123chantz?

If you put your contacts in the case and tightened the lid really well, would the contact lenses still dry out overnight?

I got the same impression, FitMiss. "If the patient stops breathing, I'd kinda like to know why. I'm funny that way."

I have to ask you , shely. If a patient does happen to stop breathing during...

Well, it's been about two years since this thread was posted. Has anyone been around a campfire telling scary stories about people finding contact lenses in their noses?

Am I missing something? Isn't the post you quoted all about what customer service says about Frogskin sunglasses?

Thanks for that emergency back-up plan, mgash. It's good information that I hope no one has to use.

I'm just curious as to why you can't touch a lens that's in the process of being rehydrated.

Hi troy,

That's a great post, thanks for taking the time to write all that up. To me this is what Lens 101 is for, to do just what you did and say "I tried X brand of contact lenses and here's...

Oh, I don't know. Nancynicola's contacts look pretty realistic in this thread, even in bright light. Don't you think so, Lens 101 readers?
