Whatever works for you, and for whatever reason.

That's right. If you opt for daily disposable contact lenses, you don't have to factor in the cost of the solutions Clearlab mentioned. Can anyone give me an idea of how much a person would spend...

"CHICAGO, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at the American Optometric Association (AOA) annual conference, Bausch + Lomb, the global eye health company, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug...

So when you say "MD," do you mean an ophthalmologist?

Thank you for giving us a nice, neat Top Ten list. Does anyone out there want to make any changes or additions based on your experience?

This is from allaboutvision.com, and I hope it covers your concerns:

Have you ever had a problem finding your Hoya Premier Eyeglasses, only to find that your kid bother or something was trying them on, pretending to be you? What did you do when you saw them?

Have you let other people wear your Hilco glasses, just for fun, and just for a minute?

So how are the sales of Hillary Duff glasses these days? We haven't heard much about her for a while. Maybe she's thinking of a scandal to get mixed up in for attention.
Or maybe she's just having...

Anyone out there wear Headliners eyeglasses with plain, clear lenses--or no lenses at all--just for show? What kind of reaction do they get?

Some high-end sunglasses brands like Oakley inspire fakes, often called "knock offs" from unscrupulous sellers. Is there a market for bogus Hart eyeglasses?

Bonus points to luvbostonxo2's for not saying "an astigmatism." I see that almost every time I visit.

Are those brand names, luvbostonxo2's?

Was there a question here, luvbostonxo2's, or was this just and FYI?

My guess is that something went wrong in the manufacture of that box of lenses that made the "tick marks" harder to see. Those marks, also called "inversion marks" help to prevent you from putting...

I did a search and down at the bottom of the "Monthly" page they have the names of all the lenses, and if there's a second page, they put a number "2" next to it so can just click on the number and...

Jaws seems to have gone missing, but I can tell you that Lens CPR is available at your corner drug store like Walgreen's.

I looked around, but the best I could do was to find glasses with Alexis style name, but not the brand. Dana Buchman Vision Alexis Eyeglasses and Modern Optical, for example.

Sweet sunglasses, too.

Bring on the glorious 1,024 × 768 pixel hugeness.

Great illustration, Goldar.

That sounds like something from a Benny Hill skit.

I'm not sure why your doctor was so convinced that monovision was right for you. For the uninitiated, monovision is when they put a lens in one eye that helps you read, and a lens in the other eye...

You would have to get that prescription from your doctor. Tell you you want a larger RGP lens and see a) if she gives it to you and b) what size she would recommend. That would be better than just...

Do you wear these glasses and make them work? Are you like the guy on TV who said "I make this look good"?

Did you buy a pair of Trendsetter glasses because your friend had a pair?

Toscani T2053 Eyeglasses. Nice, aren't they? A basic rectangular shape in basic black. Functional and no-nonsense. What do you think?

Does anyone know what "Tokio" means? Is that how the locals spell the capital city of Japan?

Wow. Long post. Can you summarize it for us, Review Queen, and give us the high points?

There's something for everyone. Even something with a color and style that would even suit a tap-dancing Eskimo kleptomaniac.

I found a good commercial on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRJVISod4Jg

I think the price would be the thing that defines "budget," don't you?

I think the thick, triangular frames balance out the shape of the face so the cheeks don't look so wide.

I definitely feel that I look better when I'm not squinting.

How come when you look up pictures with the keyword "squint" you see so many pictures of people with crossed eyes? That's not the same...

Here are some pictures of people wearing FreshLook ColorBlends.

They kinda have that dark "limbal ring" you're looking for, but it's not very noticeable.

At least they're relevant quotes. I just got finished responding to a post that just looked like an excuse to post a link to another site.

How in the world do you use eye drops with your eyelids closed?

Do you use eye drops with your daily lenses, catcrawf3?

Looks like you came to the right place, JonBorichef. How did you find us? Did you do a Google search for "contact lenses too big" or something?

That's a fair question, and one that should be simple to answer. However, I could not find a website that simply said "Presenting New and Improved Acuvue 2 contact lenses. They're better than Acuvue...

Here's what one website had to say:

I've never heard of Biomedics 55 Evolution. Is that the brand you'd like a price on? Lens.com has something called Biomedics 55 Premier, they're $15.95 for a box of 6.

Your eye doctor likely has...

So that's the only difference? They're just thinner?

You've got the wrong forum, pal. Just because it says "Silsoft Aphakic Adult" doesn't mean you can ask questions like that.

Yes, absolutely. If she doesn't look like a supermodel I won't look at her twice. :p

Any questions related to Silsoft Aphakic Adult contact lenses, or are you just using this forum for your own...

It looks like your story has a happy ending. I'm glad you decided to see a different doctor. That's what it takes sometimes.

Thanks for the helpful information, Lurker2010. This has become a very interesting thread.

I'm sorry that turned out so badly for you, Saskia. It might be easier for you to just get your contact lenses from your doctor. I'm glad you kept in touch with us, though.

Welcome to our happy little on-line community, Oz. It's a shame about those contacts, though. I'm surprised that there aren't more websites out there that list alternative brands. I had to use all my...

Here's a Garfield cartoon for you, courtesy of Garfiled21.

I agree with everything you said, AmigaBonita.

Clspectrum, com called it a "platinum-coated plastic disc."

We're all special. Just like everyone else.

So what is it that makes a contact lens look "natural"? People say that all the time. "I want contact lenses that look natural." Does that mean "something that doesn't look weird"?

Yeah, a shoehorn with teeth might be risky to use.

How did we get on the subject of a shoehorn with teeth?

Oh yeah, sunglasses with teeth.

Thanks for the picture of the box, KITT. Good work.

I see them! At the tippy-top of the page.

Yes!

Can you possibly get another trial pair?

Enough questions for you? :p

That's what dvxp67nwed said . . .

These days you've got to go where you can save the most money. However, there's the "you get what you pay for" principle to think about too. Have you ordered from Lenskart yourself? Is it easy to do?...

You're welcome, craig58.

Good, I'm glad I could be of some help.

So what happens now, Rhodes95? What is your next step?

Maybe when they stick to your finger you pull them inside out when you try to dislodge them.

Let's check Lens.com:

Old lenses:
Biomedics 38 - 8.6
Biomedics EP - 8.7
Frequency 55 - 8.4, 8.7. 9.0


New Lenses:
Biofinity- 8.6

Thanks for bringing us a post with the word "irradiate" in it. :)

I'm glad you think so, paule123. What makes you say so?

Lucille Ball. Still making people laugh after all these years. She even wore glasses sometimes. Do you suppose she wore contact lenses otherwise?

Happy New Year, JakeBullet. What's the latest?

Really, paule123? Why not?

Did you see that "Acuvue to the rescue" episode?

I went to that site and it looks like it's more than just a place to buy contact lenses. There are a few articles there, but they have titles like "Wear Violet Contact Lenses to Change Your Look" and...

Yes, I think you're right. When your host takes their contact lenses out for the day, say good night Gracie.

You think what's for our eye safety?

I think the answer to that question is obvious. :)

That's where your eye doctor comes in. He or she can give you some trial colored lenses to practice with.

Were you able to see clearly when your doctor fitted them in the office?

Oh, so the contact lenses move a little in your eyes?

Cool. Fortunately you're not limited to a certain number of characters here on Lens 101, so you can actually spell stuff out and avoid confusing old dinosaurs like me. :)

It sounds like you've found a winner, msourinho1.

Here's what Lens.com has to say. Ahem:
"Air Optix Multifocal Aqua lenses are recommended for daily wear or up to six nights of extended wear, as determined by your eye care professional for the...

There seem to be some posts here about Vision Shaping Therapy (VST), also known as CRT or Corneal Reshaping Therapy, but no one seems to have actually tried it themselves. Here's a thread that...

Is that "VST" as in "Vision Shaping Treatment"?

Yeah, if you've found a type of contact lens that you like, stick with it.

I read your post above, but I'm not clear on what your choices are.

Yeah, isn't it? Ewww.

Keep your contact lenses out of your mouth everybody. Okay?

Allow me. www.staininggrid.com.

You can get those Expressions Colors here: http://www.lens.com/contact-lenses/lens283.asp

They even come in Hazel.

So the trial pair you wore was perfect, and you didn't see any kind of light leaking in with them. Do you think you can tolerate that slight bleeding of light and learn to live with it?

Hi dachsdragon. Welcome to Lens 101. Is that name some kind of an interesting dachshund/dragon hybrid? I can just imagine what that would look like. :)

I also find it interesting and unfortunate...

That "hyper disinfecting" thing sounds like a good idea.

Hopefully cookieJones got a new prescription before ordering those O2 Optix after a five year hiatus . . . and if not, here's hoping the company did not fill a prescription that expired five years...

Is that the average time or the maximum time to adapt to contact lenses?

Yeah, a lot of scary things are out there on the Internet. I wonder how many really good, legitimate things I've missed out on because I was afraid to buy something on line?
Is there anyone out...

How would one go about finding such an eye doc? Is there a 1-800 number that they could call?

So what I'm seeing is that a patient can be fitted for contact lenses without even being in the room? You can fit a patient over the Internet?

So for someone who never wore contact lenses before you would recommend ANY lens? It doesn't matter at all? SofLens Daily Disposable lenses are just as good as any other lens for the contact lens...
