That's good to know. Thank you BobbyD.

This question looks familiar. Did you ask it before?

How long did they say it would take for Lens.com to ship to Australia?

Yeah, why else would you write "snow" in the snow?

What were we talking about when this thread began?

How do you find an eye doctor who's an RGP fitting artist?

Sorry, what was the question again?

I'm with Mr. Hornsby.

Thank you, LittleElvis.

Does anyone else think that she looks like she could be his Mom?

Not that that's a bad thing but, just look at them.

Oil spill. Yuck.

Hey, not bad for five minutes! :D

I hope so, thaMaster.

Sorry, audrey666. I wasn't able to find a site that lists the size of the pupil holes in the contact lenses. It seems that more and more people are asking that, so they should provide that...

I did a Google search for "average size" and can you guess what was the subject of the first dozen or so results? It wasn't pupil size, I'll tell you that.

I refined my search to "average pupil...

The question that ThaMaster asked was "Did you try so many [colored contacts] because you couldn't find something you like, or did you find too many that you like?"

This picture is a little dark, but it's got a cool and helpful label on it. Plus it doesn't look green either. Maybe you can lighten it on your computer.

I'm afraid I don't know much about glaucoma, but I can help you with the other question. There are a lot of factors that go into fitting contact lenses. Things like lens material and water content....

It's too bad no one seems to think the lenses from Lens.com look natural. I feel kind of bad when I see someone asking specifically about Solotica lenses on a site that sponsored by a site that...

Don't let "nakedeyes" hear (read?) you saying that. :)

So does everyone think it's "tough" to give a reason to be motivated to wear RGP contact lenses?

Yeah, I think those shots are best avoided, although if it turns out you need insulin shots, you'd better take them as directed.

Forty-three? With that girlish smile and those beautiful eyes? No way.

Would you be willing to post some more pictures where we can see your eyes better?

Good, so we're in perfect agreement.

From what I've been able to find in my five minutes of Internet research, "NCLE" stands for the "National Contact Lens Examiners [which] certifies those ophthalmic dispensers who fit and work with...

What we need is an Official Historian from the Elvis Presley Estate to join us here and give us the real story.

They make a cute couple. I wonder if Judy still uses those Bright Eyes drops?

Have you tried going to a different doctor for a second opinion? If you have, did you tell the second doctor what the first one said?

Thanks for the update. Sorry things haven't worked out better for you. Does your eye doctor have any more suggestions?

I was referring to the actual text. The content of what you copied and pasted doesn't sound very confident.

Actually, it's a picture of Pluto. I think the Hubble Space Telescope took that one.

Good one, John.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for someone to respond to my original post. Which said, in case you forgot, "step right up and tell me why you like Vantage contact lenses the best."

Wow, NYGiants. I read your title "Been a Long Time" and now I've got Robert Plant shrieking in my head. Many would consider this a good thing, but I wouldn't say that.

That's a good point. Did people wear colored contact lenses in the 70's? Even celebrity big shots?

So why not just use "L" for "left"? I bet there's an interesting story behind that.

That's not exactly very authoritative, is it? It doesn't sound like "I'm an expert on this topic and here's what I've learned in my years of study."
It's more like "I don't know much about this,...

Thanks, KatKatKat. So would you say that your contact lens story has a happy ending?

That's just what I would have said, KSCBase. Therefore it's a good suggestion. :)

That sounds like some very thorough preparation. I wish I had study materials like that when I was in college.

Hi fuzzy. It's sexy. :)

How are your eyes doing now? Is your vision still blurred when you try to wear contact lenses?

Well, it's now six months after July. How did the appointment go? Did you get new contacts? Maybe Walmart isn't the best place to buy contact lenses.

So far my initial premise seems a bit shaky. Maybe no one considers vantage contact lenses to be their favorite.

Do any of you out there have any regrets in their past regarding their Durasoft 2 Colors contacts? Do you have anything you'd like to confess so that others don't make the same mistake you did? What...

A very effective way to prevent crime is to allow reformed criminals to speak to large crowds about the mistakes they made that led them to prison. It must be very humbling to stand in front of all...

Sometimes a prescription measurement can go wrong. It doesn't always mean the doctor is incompetent, but it does happen. Have any of you had to go for another fitting because the first one wasn't...

So you're looking for purple and aqua lenses then? What else can you tell us about them and we'll try to help you find them.

OK, you said earlier that you can't wear contacts all the time. Is it because they're RGP lenses? Does your vision get worse after wearing those hard contacts for a few days? Could you maybe switch...

Do you have the other symptoms of GPC mentioned above by dragongirl81?

Hmm . . . I'm not an eye care professional so I hesitate to tell you what's wrong with your contacts. I'll take a guess and if someone comes along and says "That sexynerd is full of beans," then so...

Can these rather grandly named CibaSoft Standard Visitint contact lenses correct astigmatism? If not, what lens is the closest to Visitint that does?

I suppose I should hope for an eye doctor to answer this question; that or someone who uses Optimum Extreme for monovision.

What's the question, you say?

Here it is. Do these contact lenses...

Those PMMA lenses are not soft lenses. They're pretty stiff. How long does it take for these lenses to stop feeling uncomfortable?

I thought "hydrophilic" meant "water loving" and in practical terms meant that hydrophilic lenses hold on to moisture and don't dry out quickly.
However, I found a website that said that...

Have you had any complications with your OP-6 contact lenses, or have things been smooth sailing so far?

Are these contact lenses as comfortable in the morning when you first wake up as they are when you go to bed? Does sleeping in them affect the way they feel in your eyes?

Were these the first contact lenses you've ever tried? What was it about them that made you decide to go ahead and buy them?

Was Biomedics EP your first?

By that I mean when you went to your eye doctor's office to get fitted for contact lenses, were Biomedics EP lenses the first brand that you tried on? If not, how...

Comedian Dick Shawn once made the observation that football players have become very specialized in recent days. A player might say "Could you tackle him for me please? I'm a kicker. Thank you very...

When you got your first pair of ClearSight 1 Day contact lenses, how long was the wait time between getting fitted and trying on the actual lenses (not a trial pair) for the first time?

When you went to your eye doctor and got fitted for your 1-Day Acuvue TruEye contact lenses, were you able to wear them home that very day or did you have to wait a while until the order came in?

If someone has dry eyes, they may be tempted to try these Mini lenses, thinking that smaller lenses will absorb less moisture and feel more comfortable. It's logical, but is it true?

If I remember correctly, "aphakic" means that the lens had been removed from a person's eye. How well does an artificial lens work to replace a natural one? Can a person see well enough to drive...

If there are any amateur astronomers out there, they know that you can have a nice big telescope that isn't worth a dime because the optics are cheap. The same holds true for contact lenses. The...

I found this saying on a T-shirt while surfing the `net today. What do you think?

Personally, I have a hard time picturing someone under the age of about 15 wearing contact lenses. Are these lenses with the word "kids" in the name actually intended for minors?

I don't know much about these contact lenses, but there must be someone out there who wears them and likes them as their favorite lenses. If that's you, step right up and tell me why you like Vantage...

The two names are very close, so does that mean the lenses are similar also? Why would you wear one and not the other?

Vantage Thin Visitint are vial contact lenses, which means you can theoretically wear the same pair for a year before you finally thrown them away. My question is, can you feel a difference in the...

I wouldn't wear contacts in the shower, just because there's not much to see in there and they might come out and get lost. I would take them out when swimming as well to prevent losing them in the...

Meanwhile we still would like to know what happened to rmc2587's cloudy crescent lenses.

I don't know, but I wouldn't bet on those odds.

Oh, and just to be my sexy nerd self, when talking about gravitational forces due to acceleration, as experienced in a fighter plane, the "g" is...

I'm not sure if that helped or not. I guess I saved you the trouble of correcting your mistake.

Yes, I certainly did, and like Freddy Mercury, I thank you all.

Terrific. I'm glad I could help you. Maybe you can use your new found knowledge to help other people on this forum.

Yeah, it is pretty quiet on this thread, isn't it?

Well, as a certified eye care professional, what do you think of our little website here?

Welcome to Lens 101, Megalith.

Does this "nibbling" happen with all your lenses, or just this one? The only thing I can think of right now is that you might be pinching your lenses in the storage...

I agree with you, babyblues. I know I'd be hesitant to buy something from a stranger on a forum like this one.
Not that this is an "iffy" website. It's just not a website that normally sells things.

Oh, okay. That makes more sense. Thanks.

Yes, exactly. Thank you Eyerobot.

Great. Now how about coming up with your own answer? "Reference" is even misspelled the same way. (See post # 2)

Wow! That's exactly what pcouturier said!

Wow. That's exactly what Captain Kremen said.

Maybe that was supposed to be 5 am to 11 am. That's a more reasonable 6 hours.

Yeah. You tell that Vulcan smarty-pants, Sixty-six.

You mean "thinks" so, right?

It's okay, I do that all the time, too.

Yeah, I hear Toronto is often mistaken for Hawaii. ;)

Hi Jona, it's almost Thanksgiving now. We haven't heard from you since September. How are things?

That's right. High five!

I wasn't having a problem with clouded lenses. That was rmc2587. Perhaps she is having seeing more clearly these days. (I say "she" and "her" because of the mention of concealer.)
That or she's...

Thanks for the mini-history lesson, Knotlob. I've wondered about the different materials that contact lenses are made of. That helps me.

Boy, I sure hope so.

Yeah it wouldn't do for me to have an attack of the giggles while reading this thread. :D

Thanks for the illustration, Ace.

Still no word from Monoghost though, ay?

Okay, we have your vision as "-8.5 and -9" before surgery and "right eye is 20/60" after surgery. It's hard to tell how much the procedure helped you without a consistent measuring standard.

That's probably true, but doesn't Acuvue fear the Big Bad Lawyers? If I get some kind of infection or corneal ulcer from wearing Acuvue Oasys lenses for seven days and nights, couldn't I sue Johnson...

"Come on over Gloria, we'll do shots together. No, insulin shots."

I'm not knotlob, but I'm pretty sure "Schwarzkopf" means "black head." I studied German in high school very briefly so I'm no expert.

I think it means stay stay in touch with your eye doctor. See him or her at least once a year. When you go in for your next check up, maybe he or she will say "Since you're 41 now, I'd like to see...
