You sound like you're married, sokia.

If you wear Avada glasses now, I'd like to know how you and your glasses got together. Did you go to your eye doctor with a vague sense of what kind of glasses you wanted and you tried a few...

When I say "customized" in the title, I don't mean you told someone what you wanted and they then manufactured the glasses for you. What I mean is, were you able to say "I want the Art Craft...

When you bought your Autoflex glasses, did you already do your research and you knew exactly what model, style and color you wanted? If not, was there someone to help you decide? Was it someone...

Have you ordered your Aristar glasses on line? How did the process go? Were you able to get them even though you maybe didn't have the "add" measurement or something minor like that?

Calculating a glasses prescription could be tricky, so sometimes it's hard for the optometrist to get it exactly right. Are you walking around wearing Alexander glasses with slightly blurred vision...

Have any of you noticed that their vision is better in one eye when you wear your Airlock glasses? It seems that one eye is fine, but the other is a bit fuzzy.

I noticed that some glasses prescriptions have something called "add" on them. What does "add" mean for a glasses prescription?

Where do you get this information, Review Queen?

Anything but the style of buckaroo.

You've made some good suggestions. If anyone else feels the same way you do about how this forum is set up, maybe they can make their feeling known like you did and the people in charge will make...

Do you wear glasses, Shamrocker? Can you help with this blessed poll?

Make sure you come back and share the next chapter in your contact lens story with us. I doubt it will be the end of the story. :)

Can you believe there's a such thing as "Casino Budget" glasses? They even have them in gold.

Not a bad Facebook page.

How did you learn so much about contact lenses?

We haven't head enough about you. We want to know how your trials go.

I hope you'll come back and tell us what happened at your doctor's appointment and if you find out anything useful.

Did you say that your doctor told you your corneas were thickening?

I like that limbal ring too.

If you don't mind spending more money for contact lenses, you may want to try so-called "vial" lenses. Those are custom made so you can probably find something that works.

Hey there colormepink. I've not been to medical school so I will not presume to second guess your doctor, but I will say that I think it's unusual to change a prescription without an exam. I just...

What brand of solution were you using? Did it help to switch?

Welcome to Lens 101. I think you should know that I'm just wild about saffron. :)

I found a website here that you might find helpful. It's from the University of Indiana website and it's about...

How many times did you use the Opti-Free Pure Moist? Do you think it will feel better if you use it a few more times, or are you done?

I don't know if you can wear your sunglasses any lower that that, so here's another sunglasses T-shirt.

The website says that this is a "slubbed jersey tee with wide crew neck, sunglasses necklace...

Found it did you? It's not very obvious, and so far no one seems to be really freaking out.

How do those contact lenses feel now? Do you wear them every day?

Kind of like a soup can stuck into a snowball sideways, so you see about half of the can protruding from the snowball, right? Is that what you said, Eagleye, more or less?

Well that was kind of . . . surreal. Is English your second language, eyeglasses888?

So it says here:

Q: Can't sunglasses be dangerous for the eyes because they dilate the pupil and cause extra UV exposure onto the lens? — R.G., Illinois

A: Well, yes. But NOT good quality ones....

Yeah, but it's okay. Back to the question.

You're welcome. I like those purple letters. I'm more fond of the song "Smoke on the Water" recorded by Deep Purple than the actual color, but I'll take it. It's cool.

She reminds me of that little girl from the scary movie. "They're heeeere!"

When someone stops posting and I don't know why, sometimes I like to imagine that they're out there enjoying life with good vision. Maybe kane93 had the surgery and has no more questions because...

Do you think we've said enough? I hope chadewey wasn't offended.

I agree. Even if I'm not a contact lens fitter, I've worn glasses for almost 30 years (Yeesh. That's a long time. I'm old!) and my prescription has changed very little in all that time. If my eyes...

That's called "monovision", right? I've heard of wearing a contact lens for reading in one eye and one that corrects for distance in the other, but were you talking about a surgical procedure?

Hi JeanieWhitelaw. Welcome to Lens 101.

The best thing to do is to ask the doctor who actually has examined your eyes how long you can wear those contact lenses and how often you should clean...

I don't think you can sell things on this forum, chadewey2000. This is just for asking questions. Have you tried eBay?

Yes, but did your doctors tell you it's okay to wear daily contact lenses for three weeks to a month? It would be weird for them to recoil in horror at the though of your wearing daily lenses for a...

Yes, I would imagine that getting a contact lens to fit comfortably on the first try would indicate a great deal of skill.

That's interesting. Do you live in a remote area that prevents you from getting the branded stuff?

I thought the "p" in "ECP" stood for "professional," but in the case of those who fitted you, I'm not so sure. :rolleyes:

So where does an ECP such as yourself find an ECP for yourself?

Does anyone else look at this picture and think of that "hands, shoulders, knees and toes" song from the commercial?

Can anyone find a picture from that commercial that's better than this?

Yeah, it's kind of a golden brown color.

So tell me ladies, do you think those eyes would look better if they were blue? Everyone seems to like blue lenses, but look up there and you can find...

Topazios, right. So that looks like it's kind of a greenish-blue color, right?

Not until I saw that picture, no.

I hope you're still as happy as ever post RK with those contact lenses.

Well, that was . . . bizarre. What does that have to do with 1-Day Acuvue contact lenses? If you're a real person, and not some random word generator, you should be able to answer me.

OK, thanks. That's good to know. :)

So the box your contact lenses came in looks like this?

Thanks for answering so fast.

I've heard a lot of good things about Clear Care around here. Can you buy just a part of it, like just the little basket, or do you have to replace the whole shebang...

It sounds like you make beautiful music together. Keep on posting your questions, comments and pictures.

That sounds like a good idea. Is Clear Care expensive?

Okay, well, here's your Star Wars. Yellow visor, for better space vision.

I'm glad you were able to get those lenses and that they're not to bad the first day. I'm just not sure "nailed" is the best verb to use in that particular context. :eek:

Yup those marks are helpful--provided you can see them!

I like that small picture int he lower left corner. I can see your eyes clearly in that one.

Pretty nice. Can you resize those pictures and re-post them? I'd like to see your whole face on the screen. If you don't know how, I'm pretty sure there's a thread around here that will explain it.

I saw a website that had a commercial on it. In that commercial the girl in the voice-over said "Bo-lay." Rhymes with what you'd shout at a bullfight: "Olé!"

That must have been a terrible ordeal. I hope your doctor was gentle at least. Make sure you keep in touch with us here.

I tried that makeover site. It's prett cool, except you pretty much have to have a picture where the person is looking directly at the camera. If they've got their face turned to the side a little...

Greetings an salutations, cougar14. Welcome to Lens 101. We're getting a lot of new members lately. I'm afraid I don't know much about Synergeyes lenses, other than they're "hybrid" lenses that have...

Hi Sylvia. Welcome to our happy little corner of the Internet.

So somebody gave you contact lenses for a birthday present? How cool! Was it a surprise? How did they get your base curve and...

Woah! A hundred bucks? I suppose that would sound more reasonable if I were a skier, but I prefer to stay indoors when it's below freezing.

(It's funny to look at this picture today because it's...

See? Aren't you glad I put in my two cents?

I read the article again and noticed the few places where the skin does not have a hypodermis level.

What do you think, folks. Should I edit it? Will the scandal cause people to stop reading Lens...

Yeah, but let's not forget where it started . . .

Oh, I'm sure you're right, Aaroncablemom.

Thanks for answering my question, MatreenaRose. I hope you weren't too traumatized by the scary contact lenses.

That sounds like a very good idea. Does anyone here on the forum get their contacts checked at their doctor's office every six months for free?

Good question, KITT. I think I finally understand. Thank you for your patience, Contact Lens Fitter.

Okay, in your previous post you said something about ER doctors and firefighters wearing lenses overnight, but what about those of us who sleep at night? Are you saying that the rest of us should...

Yeah but . . . I'm nearsighted, and I definitely can see things better that are closer to me than things that are farther away. It has everything to do with where the object is. If you hold a picture...

I don't think that either one of those are pictures of SpongeBob. They are clearly pictures to two different girls. SpongeBob probably just did a Google search and found those pictures.

I hope...

So if a website says that they have "enflufocon B" lenses, they may or may not be Envision, depending on the "cut," right?

Welcome to Lens 101, hobscrk777. Good thing you're having a problem with the trial pair. When you go for your follow-up appointment, make sure to mention to your doctor about the cloudiness and that...

Sounds good Shari, thank you.

To refresh everyone's memory (icluding my own) here's the original question again:

"What happens if you run out of contact lenses before you run out of time due to a damaged lens? Is there...

You mean SofLens Multi-Focal, right? I just want to make sure we didn't lose anybody in the thread. It really helps to make sure you put the full name of the lens in your post. People (like me) get...

Thanks for the picture Ashna. You've got a pretty smile--and pretty eyes. Since you have such beautiful dark features, if you wore anything but brown lenses it would look unnatural. Maybe you can try...

So the foam has two layers? What about the lens in front of your eyes? Are the two layers glued together or is there space between?

Try what? Polarized lenses in your goggles? I don't know. If I were to buy Bolle goggles with polarized lenses, will they cost more than goggles without the fancy polarization?

Thank you for not posting the competitor's information here, Deevine1217. I'm sure they appreciate your respect.

Wow. You type pretty well for someone with so many eye problems. Thanks for telling us about your experience.

What an interesting post, Contact Lens Fitter. I like how you described Visitint as "only seen against a white background." That's much simpler than some of the explanations I've offered.
I also...

Hi George.

Do you mean "Acuvue"?

Contact lenses have a lot of different qualities. You like the Biomedics 55 lenses because they're easy to handle and harder to rip than Acuvue Torics. I could...

I'm glad to know that you're doing so well, martyc.

I tried that link and I got a "403 Forbidden" raspberry.

I guess the Internet is just giving people what they want.

Who knew there were so many sci-fi geeks on Lens 101?

Of course, a true science fiction aficionado would say "SF" rather than "sci-fi."

Did you wear Biofinity Toric lenses, zibixiwo?

I don't see how that's relevant to the question.

How about some more replies in English? It's probably a good idea to reply to a post in the same language it's written in.

I noticed that, too. Good call ReTina. :D

Do your eyes start to feel tired when you've been wearing these contacts for a while? Do your eyelids get heavy and you feel like you want to sleep?

She doesn't look like she's suffering much . . .

When you first started wearing SGP III contact lenses, how did you work your way up to wearing them for a full day? Did you wear them for one hour the first day, two hours the next, and so on, or did...

There is some debate over whether a patient should sleep in contact lenses or not. Why not give us your opinion. Do you wear your SA 32 contact lenses while you sleep? Why or why not?

Hello Dr. Rodnie. What's the most popular contact lens that you prescribe to your patients?
