If you were happy with the PureVision lenses, why did your eye doctor give you all those other lenses?

I'm glad you got away with it, citizen. Now it's your duty to warn others. Spread the word. Don't over wear your contact lenses.

In some cases it's okay to take a short nap in your contact lenses. However, I'm not a doctor so I would advise you to talk to your doctor about taking one hour naps in your 1-Day Acuvue lenses.

"Grow up dude"? Is that your clever opening statement? Then you close by saying that contact lenses aren't risky "if used in the proper way." "The proper way" to wear contact lenses is to do so...

You've had that happen too, have you? :)

So are you going to try it and tell us about it?

While you think about that, check out this picture I found.

Remember, one thing, OV-102:

Are they? Do they stay put when you're running around?

Good, I'm glad they're so comfortable. Do you think it's a bit odd that they put this teeny, tiny mark on contact lenses to help you put them in right, when the reason you're wearing contact lenses...

I think either one would look good, personally.

That's right. Think happy thoughts.

Those are beautiful contact lenses, heidi. I wonder how they eliminated those dark lines you see so often in color contact lenses?

I'm glad that taking your contacts out easily was not a fluke.

My eye doctor wear glasses, and so do I.

Thank you for sharing your story. Have you got anything new?

Yeah for some reason you can't seem to buy vial lenses on line any more.

I've never worn vial lenses, but they can be worn for as long as a year, so hopefully they're comfortable. ;)

I'm glad you're starting to feel better, rileydc. I hope that things continue to improve for you. Make sure that you tell us what happens at the doctor's on Friday.

Zoe will be right back after having a good cry.

Hey travisz. What's up? Was my answer helpful to you?

Okay, that's good Logopolis. I'm glad you've got no more questions.

It works for me.

I went to the CIBAVision website and I couldn't even find a mention of Durasoft 3 ColorBlends.

Me too, but I didn't find anything on line. Anyone else?

I couldn't find anything, Bootz. Not even a mention of those tweezers on line.

Sorry about that. Yeah I use different names for different websites and I get confused sometimes, too.

Now back to our topics. Sunglasses are the new handbags. Discuss.

So what have you learned from this survey, gwuresearcher?

Thank you for that answer, KatKatKat. You sound so British when you say "bin them straight away." That's cool. :)

I think you can probably still buy film for your camera, but I thought I read someplace about Kodak shutting down production of film.

Anyway, that digital screen makes it just about impossible to...

So that brings up the question of what do you do after your shower? Do you put your contact lenses back in when you dry off and get dressed?

What do the letters "EP" stand for? Will those two letters cost anything? In other words, are Biomedics EP more expensive than Biomedics contact lenses?

Does anyone know if Avaira contact lenses are available in a toric design for those who have astigmatism?

Have you switched from one brand of contact lenses to ClearSight 1 Day because the doctor said that changing your contact every day would be better for you?

Tell me what you think of these daily disposable contact lenses. Are they comfortable when you wear them? Do you like the fact that you can just throw them away when you go to bed and then put on a...

Well, we've got the astronaut/cosmonaut thing down.

Yeah, I remember Icepick. He was some kind of gangster, wasn't he?

Oh, and no K-9, you were not the only heterosexual male to watch Magnum P.I.

Do you find it easier to take pictures with contact lenses than with glasses? When you use a camera while wearing glasses, do you peer over the top of the frames or do you look right through the...

Yeah, I see it. There appears to be another square one to the left. It's more of a "viewfinder" than an "eyepiece."

Wait! Save some for me!

Yeah, a good-looking guy like that can get away with things like that.

Me? I hate it when the mace gets in my nose . . . :eek:

"Come on Mom! Why do you do that all the time?"

Thanks for reading us the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act, coconutoil.

Yeah, it's been almost four months.

Thank you for saying so, 321contacts. :) If anyone wants to add anything, please feel free.

Okay, who else we got? Can you get a full month out of PureVision monthly contact lenses?

Would anyone else care to ask nedra to add some more comments so we can see some pictures?

It's understandable that you feel leery. Are you actually thinking about giving up contact lenses?

I probably wouldn't use vinegar. :eek:

Really? All of them? What's left? Is this just the vial lenses you're talking about?

I think when someone here specifies "gas permeable" contact lenses it means RGP or "hard" contact lenses. If they just say "contact lenses" then they're probably talking about the soft ones.

Have you seen the posts here on Lens 101 that tell you how to tell if your contacts are inside out? Here's the thread which includes a helpful illustration:
...

Good. Glad to read that MultiVisionKelly. We've had some people come here in the past who tried to tell us that we can wear contact lenses longer than the doctor tells us to, but other members came...

I took the survey, but I did not enter the drawing for the sunglasses. It took less than a minute.

That's great, nedra. Maybe when you get a few more posts up you can attach a picture. You'll get compliments here, too.

I like this site, too, and I'm glad they were able to help you here, four eyes.

Oh, that's cool. I didn't know that. Thanks Contact Lens Fitter.

Did you get a good answer to your question, annalucidon?

How about a week to ten days? If you don't wear your contact lenses at night, maybe you can see how they feel after you wear them ten times. Do you think you can do that, or does ten times sound like...

Here's a definition of "add" I found: "Add power is an additional corrective power on part of the lens to assist with reading and viewing objects close-up. Add power is always positive.

Hi Burcucabuk.

Solotica contact lenses are popular among Lens 101 readers and writers, but the company is in Brazil, so if you live in a different country it may be difficult to get them.

Me, personally, I believe that it has to do with the price of vial lenses. They look at the prices and go "Fifty bucks?? For one lens? That's insane! I'm not paying a hundred dollars for one lousy...

Well, apparently this incident has not affect your ability to use the computer. :)

I hope you feel better soon.

Hopefully your doctor will take you seriously. Without knowing anything except what you've written here, I can only guess, and my guess would be what packman has already said: that the contact lenses...

Thank you for that glowing report on Focus Night and Day. Did you doctor say anything to you about sleeping in them? I don't think they would call them "Night & Day" if you had to take them out at...

When you say "aqua-solution," do you mean the liquid that the contact lenses are packaged in?

Thanks. It's good to know that even hard lenses can be that comfortable.

I can't even tell if someone's wearing contact lenses at all. Isn't that the point?

Here's a quick quiz: Can you tell me what type of lenses Siru here is wearing?

What's the difference between RGP and PMMA lenses?

Wow. That's a new one.

Have you heard anything new on this issue, sproutjps?

That sounds like a good idea robbykennedy. Have you completed your experiment by now? What are the results?

Thanks for the info, R2D2, and for the cute picture as well.

How are you doing KatKatKat? Are you able to insert your contact lenses more easily now that Lens 101 has spoken?

Well, if the Webmaster likes the idea of notifying members when their post gets a response, I haven't heard anything.

That's better than screaming.

Have you found some contact lenses that you like, zocipro? What kind are you looking for?

It's been a couple of months now, kijijuao. How are you?

Thanks, Sumflow. Nice picture.

Those aren't Maui Jim sunglasses though, are they?

I think I found the thread of which you speak. It includes the phrase "leave Mommy's arc welder alone."

Hi robbykennedy.

So you're using Clear Care? There's some people who use Clear Care on this site and everyone thinks it's great. There's even a thread that talks about using Clear Care to clean...

Hi there robbykennedy. Sorry to hear about your contacts quitting early. How many pairs have done that to you?
I'm no eye doctor, but it sounds to me like you're doing everything right. I did a...

Hello, sproutjps. I looked on Lens.com and it looks like they have the same message there as the one up above quoted by CaptainKremmen, and there's a little more, too:

Welcome qtrmidget.

How long have you been wearing those Multifocal contacts?

"Massive thumbs up." I love it.

You've got an unusual wearing schedule there, though. Is your doctor okay with you wear them for a week before cleaning them?

Sure, I've heard people say that Biofinity is the best, but everybody's different. What did your eye doctor recommend after the Acuvue Toric lenses didn't work out? If you need toric lenses, then you...

Yeah that curlupndye is a hoot, huh?

It's great that you found some contacts that works so well for you. Keep up posted. You might even want to show us how gorgeous you look in those contacts....

Well, of course I'm going to tell you to order from Lens.com. The problem is that I don't think they ship to Macedonia. On the website they say "international orders are all shipped using USPS Global...

Wow, you have an "exotic" beauty, Shakibabe88. Where are you from? Those lenses look really good on you.

I think that when it comes to contact lenses, one should be conservative. So if one doctor tells you not to clean your contacts with tap water, then I wouldn't. I suppose it depends on where you...

Thanks Shari. I'm glad you decided to join us here on Lens 101.

When I first saw this title I though it was like "Cooking With Tofu." :eek:

You checked the eye, and you checked the prescription, what about the lens itself? Is there something on the lens that's bothering you?

It looks like 4iiiis hasn't checked back for answers to the question.
