It looks like pretty early on BigJim tried to get in a good word for the sponsor of this site. Can't say I blame him. Still, sometimes even if someone's in a race sponsored by Burger King, they still...

I take it you didn't choose that brand yourself? Did your eye doctor just say "Try these, I think you'll like them"? Not that there's anything wrong with that. Some people just get their contact...

Well, what's the latest, Walkaway? Did you find your new glasses, replace the new glasses, or are you still wearing your old glasses? You're fortunate that you still have your old glasses on hand and...

Thanks for your thoughts, fliers. When it comes to something that touches your eyes, you've got to be very careful, and follow instructions.

Do you feel that those contact lenses were worth the price?

Thanks for the link, although it may bother some red, white and blue-blooded Americans to click on a British flag to read the site in English. I guess that's their problem.
At least there's a cute...

What's the difference between the D43 lenses and the D43X?

Thanks for the inside information, Clearlab. It's good to have a spy. :D

Can you briefly describe these four stages of GPC?

Thanks for understanding.

I think for your wedding that you will probably recognize yourself even if you're wearing color contact lenses. Have some fun. This is your special day. Pull out all the...

That's more or less what I was thinking when I posted that, BoSoxFan. Thanks for trying to explain my forum behavior.

I don't know BoSoxFan. I don't suppose you could put it in the microwave and irradiate the nasties out of it. The only other way of sterilizing would be maybe to boil it, unless you want to add...

Yes, you're right, Goldar. If we keep getting new people that need to be gently shown "the ropes" then so be it. The more the merrier, right?

Wow, that's quite a unique post there, Uhura.

I'm confused, luvbostonxo2's, which is unusual for one of your posts. First you said "In North America the water is decent quality that you can rinse your lenses after cleaning," and then you said...

I don't know how they compare to Soloticas, but Acuvue 2 Colors - Enhancers are light colored lenses that are intended to just alter your eye color slightly rather than change it completely. Maybe...

Welcome to Lens 101 josefa. I don't know much about the relationship between the cylinder and the power, but I do know that a difference of 0.25 in a prescription is about as small as you can get,...

I'm sorry syliva. I didn't mean to imply that you got divorced on a whim. I always do my best to be sensitive, but I guess in this instance I should have been more careful.

You know, I bet that's the number one reason people have tattoos removed. They have someone's name permanently inscribed on their bodies, then they no longer feel so "attached" to that person for...

Thanks for clearing that up. Have you found that handy dandy "quote" button so you won't have to copy and paste?

Yeah, I thought I had read something along those lines here on Lens 101. It's a shame, really. Like you said, they let a lot of loyal customers down.

I hope you'll come back and tell us if your doctor gives you a trial pair of Acuvue 2 Enhancers and what you think of them. Maybe you'll be inspired to post some pictures.

What do you mean by "quality"? You may say that the color is better, but that's subjective. Is it maybe that the lenses correct vision better, or they're more comfortable or they hold up better to...

I think that's why Lens 101 was created. It's to help people to know that they're part of a community, and not alone.
I also agree with Joeyrosschandler that it's much more fun to contribute to...

Let's not be hasty, Shamrocker. It depends on what kind of "thing" Horseluvr is talking about. I happen to like braces on girls too, but that doesn't mean I don't respect boundaries.

In a previous post you said that your eye doctor didn't seem to be too alarmed by the neovascularization. So I don't think you need to do anything drastic. Ask your doctor about your "during working...

What is the typical gradual buildup schedule? How long do people generally wear their contacts lenses on Day 1? Day 2 and so on?

So your contact lenses feel dry indoors as well, all year round?

Wow, this thread is still going after over 200 posts. To be honest I think a few of the posts here should have started new threads.

Thanks for sharing those ideas. I think they would look good as bullet points. See?

* If you trust tap water to drink and shower in it is ok for wetting.

* DOES NOT APPLY to a newbie; they need...

You know, I was just saying that the other day. "Hyper individualism," I said.

No I didn't really, but I wish I had. :)

I don't care. That grey-eyed woman is gorgeous.

I don't know dragongirl. Maybe we should get back to the subject of relief for allergic eyes.

Where did you get that quote from, Scienceguy?

Hear that? That's the sound of our Geek Alert getting a hit. ;)

Yeah, I suppose my question was pretty specific . . .

Going back and reading this post again . . .

No, I'm not going to repeat Brittvid's post again. :p

Well, still just the one post by Blondie48199 . . .

Of course he does. He's got a high-power spray of water.

Water can do some impressive things.

GPC could be a good thing?

Oh, I guess you mean it's a good thing to know that these symptoms might mean GPC and so you can start the treatment sooner. Gotcha.

Wow, so what kept you going during that initial six week breaking in period?

Good, I'm glad you're recovering from your procedure. I hope you'll be back here soon to tell us more about it and how it's helped you. Maybe you'll be able to help others make the decision to have...

Whose post did you like so much? If you name a name maybe they can take a bow.

Here, catt; a ball of string you can play with.

Wow, that's an interesting question. It's never come up before, and probably won't again. So let me get this straight. One night, when you'd had too much of the sauce, you frantically searched for...

That's good Jere. I'm glad your eyes are healthy. I just want to make sure that everyone reading this understands that you probably should not wear your contact lenses in any way other than the way...

Yes, let's keep thing in perspective.

What are you going to do now, KelsieJH? Other than beg CibaVision? Are you going to quit wearing contact lenses?

"Cross marketing." Is that when lens companies --as Monetfornothin said--"[make] a big pile of identical lenses, [sell] some as annual, some as monthly and some as daily"?

Thanks for the tip. That's good to know.

No problem. Now I hope someone answers my questions and helps us find some bifocal Fluoroperm 30 contact lenses.

Stupid stalkers. They ruin everything for the rest of us.

That's helpful, Bonkers. Perhaps Boston doesn't make an non-abrasive cleaners. :confused:

You might be surprised . . .

Anyone? Is there anybody there? Just let me know you're out there.

How's it going, momin8er? Have you tried the things you've read here?

Thank you both for you good answers. I'm open to more if anyone else wants to comment.

Thanks Pandy. Do they feel very different from other contacts you've worn?

Another Air Optic success story. I'm glad it's working out so well for you rileydc.

Thanks for the tip, ss03. Now how about telling us a little more about yourself and building up your post count? I bet you've got a lot of interesting things to share.

So they help you see things across the room and down the street then, right? That means you're nearsighted. The medical term is "myopia."

Whew. That's a relief. ;)

If you'd had it then maybe you would spell it "GPC". :D

That seems kind of odd. If the lenses allow plenty of oxygen, why not wear them for a long time?

I'm the same way, Metsman. I wear my glasses all the time unless I have to read or work on the computer.

That's strange. Are the trail lenses only temporarily unavailable or are they just gone?

I guess it's good to know your limitations.

Excellent. Go ahead and order multifocal, monovision, bifocal, colored, novelty--whatever you feel like getting, feel free. :)

Did you know you could phone your order in? 1-800 LENS.COM...

Never tried hybrid lenses myself, but I'm glad you signed up for the forum. How's it going?

I was under the impression that you can wear any contact lenses on a daily basis as long as you clean them regularly and as long as you're comfortable. Am I mistaken?

As for your eyes looking...

Do you still wear contacts even though the Radiance lenses are gone?

Have I read this before or am I losing my mind . . . again?

Hmmm . . . that "I can feel just the top right part" has me thrown. I can't explain that. Hopefully someone else will because I'd like you to keep posting here.

Wow, that's some dedication.

Would you have been disappointed if you went all that way and he didn't remember you? Would you just be happy if he could give you the service you remember?

These are Cool Clip CC822 glasses. They're square, metal, thin and black. Did you buy glasses like this because they're different from what you wore before? Do they represent a change in your image?...

Converse.
It conjures up the image of highly skilled and highly paid athletes gracefully using their talents in athletic competition. (I'm a word athlete. :) )

Then you have these clunky...

Does it surprise you that glasses that are called "Dilbert" look like this?

Normally I prefer metal-framed glasses that are almost invisible. When I saw these though, I decided that they look pretty cool also. What say you?

Not very closely related to glasses, but interesting nonetheless.

As you know, when you get a new pair of glasses, you are charged for the lenses and the frames separately. Have any of you needed a prescription change and so you had them put the new lenses in the...

Can you buy Club Blue eyeglasses with options such as tinted lenses and anti-reflective coating? If so, are there other options available?

How come glasses that you get from your eye doctor can cost a hundred dollars easy, yet you can go to the drugstore and get a pair of reading glasses for a couple of bucks?

I couldn't find a picture of these glasses on line. Does anyone else have one? Would you mind posting it here or, if you don't have enough posts to put up pictures, maybe you can tell me where I can...

Liz Claiborne glasses are all named for occupations, it seems. (Except maybe "Crafty".) Do they have any names that match your job title?

Like these glasses? Apparently they're available in Mink/Heather, Grey Pearl/Lt. Aqua and Black/Crystal. These would be the black and crystal, I think.
Right?

I'm confused. Didn't you say "I tend to use Tesco solutions." I know you did because I just copied and pasted it. :confused:

That doesn't sound so bad. Thanks for sharing your technique.

Let's say your fairy godmother appeared and granted you three wishes. The catch is--Isn't there always a catch?--that your three wishes had to be about your Durasoft 2 Optifit Toric contact lenses?...

I hear that some companies design their products based on customer feedback. Well, how about some of that feedback now? If you can tell the makers of Durasoft 2 Optifit Toric something that would...

What kind of packaging do these contact lenses come in? Do you buy them in blister packs inside boxes? Can you store your lenses in this same package if you're very careful not to spill any of the...

Is there anything special about the solution that your Biomedics Toric lenses are packaged in? Can you just keep them in sterile water once you open the package? Would it be a good idea to store them...

Are these OP-10 lenses easy to handle? Can you pick them up and put them in fairly easily without dropping or damaging them?

Since these lenses have the word "air" right at the beginning of their name, can I take that to mean that your eyes get plenty of oxygen while you wear them?

Sometimes with uncorrected vision you can get glare from bright lights. Do Vertex Sphere contact lenses get rid of this blurry glare?

Do Biomedics EP contact lenses help to cut down on glare from lights at night? Can they eliminate glare completely?

Toric lenses are used to help people who have astigmatism. Avaira contact lenses are not toric, but can they still fix astigmatism?

I need vision correction because I'm near-sighted. I can see fine to read, but not so much to drive. How about you? What's the reason you need artificial lenses?

Do you wear 1-Day Acuvue TruEye for presbyopia, myopia, astigmatism or something else? I'd kind of like to know the most common reason.

I agree with you. MaryTamm2. For dry eyes, find contact lenses with a low water content.

Now . . . does anyone know how low "low" is?

I find that when I find myself making excuses to do things later, I finally get tired of it and say "I'm doing it right now." Pick up the phone and make an appointment. You probably won't get in to...

Well, I haven't heard about anyone having problems with their MPS solutions. They do have an expiration date in them, but I don't know what happens after that date. The solution probably becomes less...
