This article has some neat pictures that show you how much oxygen gets through the lenses. Check it out.

You are correct: Walgreens Quick view:

"These sterile drops are for rigid gas permeable contact lenses."

For soft lenses, Amazon.com users recommend Opti-Free Express Rewetting Drops.

I quite agree.

I checked the Clearlab website, and it looks like the one month lenses come in powers of +4.00 to -8.00.

Hi Chandra. Type 40 here. If you wear contact lenses for two hours, and it's one hour, fifty-five minutes of pain, I don't see how increasing the wear time would help, except maybe help you never...

I found an ad that said that the Jazz glasses that they were selling came with an "authentic case." Is that important to you? We've all seen those antique shows where an item increases in value if it...

Can anyone tell me why these glasses are called "rimless"? They look like they have a rim to me. At least a partial rim anyway. If anything they're only about 1/3 rimless.

I tried looking them up on Amazon, but there was no results found. Have they been discontinued?

Are you looking for children's glasses with durable frames? Hush Puppies has them. Has your child broken their glasses frames before?

I found a lubricant on line called Blink Contacts® Lubricating Eye Drops. It's available at national chain stores like Walgreens, CVS and Target, so you shouldn't have any problems finding the drops.

So what do you think about the Clear Care system, Shamrocker?

These sound like some good ideas. Let us know if any of them help, okay, Jwood226?

Great! So no more stuck contact lenses?

I wouldn't call that petty. Seeing your contact lenses to insert them should not be a chore. I hope RejZoR's suggestion helps you.

I've never seen a base curve measurement with two numbers after the decimal. Does it really make a difference whether your lenses have a base curve of 7.71 or 7.7? If you wear a 7.71 and someone...

Oh, okay, so if people can no longer get their Ciba Vision contacts, they can get comparable lenses at Alden, is that right?

What does "actually system" mean?

If you didn't hear, the trend for glasses in 2013 is "geek chic." Be ready with Avalon's geek chic DV 07 glasses.

Did you know that Aspen has been making glasses for 26 years now?

Yeah, there were a few times when Radar was awakened in the middle of the night and had to put on his glasses. Gary Burghoff didn't wear glasses and his hooked glasses were just a prop he wore when...

It could be because you spelled it "Acuview." I copied and pasted the name from your post and didn't get any results until I spelled it "Acuvue." Here's what I found.

"Get a feel for Acuvue brand...

Once again, Lens 101 brings you the wisdom of "The Simpsons."

Marge: (cheerfully) Who wants some astro-lemonade?
Nerd: What precisely makes it "astro"?
Marge: Look, I don't want to...

Can you get all the special anti-reflective coatings and such on Avada glasses?

Poor Weirdscience. He asked all those questions about these glasses and only got one answer for each.

Getting glasses can be good for you because when the eye doctor examines you to see what prescription you need, she will usually check your eyes' general health as well. Have any of you gone in to...

What makes you say that solotica lenses are "nothing special"? Many people on this forum are willing to spend a lot of money and wait a long time for those lenses.

So the idea here is to warm the lenses so they expand?

Can anyone compare the service provided by lensmarketplace.com to Lens.com? I know Lens Marketplace has a better selection of colored contact lenses, but what about delivery time and resolution of...

He sure looks like a girl in that last picture.

What? Oh, that's Kristen Stewart. Right.

Maybe my monitor needs adjusting, but I can definitely see some brown below the pupil.

Sorry you feel that way. Maybe one of the techies will read this and make some adjustments. Personally, I don't like to type long articles. I usually just put in a link if it's not my own writing. If...

Call now! Operators are standing by!

So what do you think, ICU? Would you like to try RGP lenses?

I went to that website and I saw something that is quickly becoming a major pet peeve for me.

I clicked on the site and I got to look at it for about one second before a big sign popped up in my...

Thanks for the information and the warning. This is a great website full of very informative posts, but I would still double check with my own personal eye doctor before trying anything I read here....

Just for your information, I thought I'd tell you that PureVision Multifocal lenses are made of 64% balafilcon A and 36% water. Soflens Multifocal lenses are 62% polymacon and 38% water. I don't know...

Hello, pink. Welcome to Lens 101.

If you're familiar with this site, then you probably know that luvbostonxo2's knows a lot about contact lenses, so I won't argue with the recommendation that you...

Thanks for sharing your experience with them. It's too bad they they don't have the look you want, and I'm pretty amazed that they sent you a replacement lens valued and what you said was $400,...

Are your lenses comfortable aside from being a little "sticky"?

Welcome, DrFeelgood. I heard a song about you . . .

How did you manage to buy "a variety of daily disposable contacts"? Did you get multiple prescriptions from your doctor?

So are you a first-time color contact lens wearer, fangtasia? Welcome to Lens 101.

"Best" is a very subjective concept. It depends on the person. Some people like to wear lenses for a long time before changing them, while others want to be able to put in a fresh new pair of lenses...

Are you familiar with the expression "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

When you say "SCLs" you mean "soft contact lenses" right? I haven't seen that abbreviation before.

As for adjusting your contact lenses, I wonder how that works? I guess I always thought your eye...

Would you call Lens 101 "subtle"? They're not too in-your-face about their sponsor are they? I don't think so. Most questions don't have anything to do about where to buy contact lenses, but if it's...

I would definitely prefer a no-sting cleaning method if one was available.

The original post is about FX Eyes. I tried going to their website to find out if those lenses are annual lenses, but the FAQ page has black text on a black background. If that's how they advertise...

You meant "helpful to us" right, Ragnarox?

What if what had been on her?

Oh yeah. The ears. I didn't see them at first. Can you imagine?

I've got a feeling that kittukumar110 has nothing else to say except "how are you doing?"

Yeah, I named mine after the members of the Brady family and all the Kardashians.

Boy am I relieved to see that Spell Check does know what a "Kardashian" is.

How about a Cardassian?

Nope....

I don't understand your question. Did you say that you can't see things in the distance with your right eye?

I like Droopy's idea about being hydrated. You may not want to actually touch your eye as he suggested, but maybe start getting used to the idea of having your fingers close to your eyes. I don't see...

Wow, that 5-10 minutes spent waiting for the PureVision lenses to settle in must have seemed like a long time.

Hmm . . . says here "Behavioral optometry also known as functional optometry is an expanded area of optometric practice that uses a holistic approach to the treatment of vision and vision information...

I went to Lens.com and looked at the page for Paragon HDS and Paragon HDS 100 side-by-side, and except for the colors available and the number 100, they two pages are identical. In the interest of...

Luvbostonxo2's convinced you to see a "real" doctor, huh? :D

I don't remember reading about anyone having a problem with blurred close up vision in soft lenses.

Rhodes95 might just have something there. It could very well be a protein buildup that's causing that smoky look.

Thanks for the interesting info, although I don't see what you would call them a "problem." Most people don't even know that eyelash mites exist. I like my eyelash mites. :)

That's a good question, didee. So even when you go indoors on a rainy day your eyes are still deep blue, and on sunny days your eyes are grey, inside or out?

Fascinating . . .

Hi josefa, and welcome to Lens 101. I'm glad you decided to join us.

I'm afraid I don't know very much about the technical aspects of contact lens prescriptions, but I think if they make things...

Welcome to Lens 101, ashley2011. I checked out that website and you're all about the eyelashes, aren't you? :) Do you think you might be interested in mentioning Lens 101 on your site?

Thank you for sharing your story with is, Rhodes95. I've read posts here before that said that even though people have had astigmatism, it was slight enough that toric lenses weren't strictly...

Finally. Someone who can relate from personal experience about why you should take out your contact lenses when you're told to. I'm sorry you had to suffer so much, Rhodes95, but hopefully people can...

Take a look at that. Hmm. The two post are only five minutes apart, too, so I guess I can't use the excuse that I came back the next day and forgot that I already answered. At least it wasn't the...

Your eyes look a little red in that picture, cattt. Were your contacts bothering you?

Let's get back to the question at hand. Are these Angel Euphoria lenses comfortable enough to wear from sunup to sundown?

What's the difference between spheric and aspheric? I'm guessing that "aspheric" means "not spheric," whatever than "spheric" means.

Thanks Amanda. It's good to know that those lenses can rip if you're not careful. There may be some folks out there who have ripped their Focus Monthly Visitint lenses and think they've done...

What color do you call those lenses again? They're grey, right?

I just hate the though of contact lenses "pulling a fast one" and convincing their customers that they have to replace their contact lenses after a week even it it's not true. As always when you find...

Sweet. We're happy to have you here, Norma. Welcome. How are you and your SiH 48 contact lenses getting along?

Yeah, or "bluish green" like I said before. I'm glad you agree.

Thank you for your personalized reply. It makes me feel special.

Let us know if you're going to buy some contacts, okay? We get excited about that sort of thing around here.

Well, now I can't fix it, can I? :p

If I do then your post will still be there mocking a typo that isn't there any more.

I guess you could call that a "Type 40 typo."

I crack myself up...

Right you are, Nursenancy. I just wanted to know if anyone else's prescription (or at least one or two numbers) has remained stable for two years or more.

I forgot I posted that picture. It made me laugh all over again. :D

Hi deinellpugs. Thanks for greeting me by name. What's new? Buy any contact lenses lately?

So wait. You understand how "Type 40" and "time machine" go together? If you figured it out just on those two clues, you're my new hero.

Hi bowman. I don't know if Acuvue Oasys For Presbyopia can do all that. Has your eye doctor made any recommendations? Is that why you got the Biofinity lenses?

I'm glad I was able to help you, kinda sorta. How's it going now, ScooterPie?

When you tried on Durasoft 3 Optifit Toric - Complements contact lenses, was it just to see how they compared to other lenses, or were you really hoping those would work for you?

One of the dangers of wearing a pair of contact lenses for too long is that you could get an eye infection. Have any of you discovered first hand that this is really true? :(

Are you a person who likes to wear glasses when you're working but you put on contact lenses if you're going out with friends? Do your friends even know you wear glasses?

I hope your eyes is okay? You didn't scratch your eye hard, did you? Did you need medical attention?

Do you wear your Durasoft Toric contact lenses all night as you sleep, or do you take them out at night? If you take them out, do you put them in the minute you wake up?

Is it really true what I read on this one website that when you wear your contact lenses, you change their shape and if you wear them too much they won't work because they're no longer in your...

Do you wear your Durasoft 2 Optifit Toric lenses every day? If not, why not? Is it a comfort issue?

These lenses are obviously intended to be worn for one day only. What is "one day" for you? How long do you wear them before you throw them away?

When you put your Biomedics Toric lenses in their case to be cleaned, do you flip the case over in order to make sure that the entire lens gets covered by the solution? Do you think that's a good...

Have you been wearing your OP-10 contact lenses for so long that you've begun to teach others how to put their contacts in? Are you the go-to guy or girl for contact lens help?

Before you started wearing Biomedics Toric lenses, had you been wearing lenses that were non-toric? How much of a difference did the toric lenses make in your ability to see clearly?

Remember that silly commercial that asked "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" I'd like to ask you a slightly different question. Suppose some radio station had a promotion that asked people to to...

No, there isn't really any contest involving Air Optix Night & Day Aqua contact lenses that I know of. What if there was, though? Would you be interested? What if it was more than just a random...

Do you have kids who want to wear contact lenses? If so, have you told them that they can wear them when they reach a certain age?

I'm sure you've seen those commercials where a nerd uses a particular product and is immediately mobbed by gorgeous women. Has anything similar happened to you when you got Avaira contact lenses? Did...
