Yes, I suppose you're right.
So you like extended wear contact lenses like they had in the Good Old Days? ;)
Okay, you say that you're "here to help and interact and not just push sales," so why did you post this same message four times?
Thanks for stopping by, Coloured_Contacts_Hut. How did you happen to find this forum? Do you like it?
Hi Lensesagain, and welcome to Lens 101. I thought I'd read somewhere that base curves are flexible, but I couldn't find where. One thing I've learned though is that base curve is a very small...
I hope to see a picture of lita2011, too. I like seeing pictures of Lens 101 members. The people on Lens 101 tend to be pretty good-looking. (At least the ones who post pictures!)
Hey, you gotta have some standards, dude!
Woo hoo! Gorilla rides!
Hi rickster. Nice of you to join us. Why not tell us why you're thinking of switching to soft lenses? Are the Boston EO contact lenses getting uncomfortable?
What's the latest? How do you like those Biofinity contacts?
How are you doing these days, sammyc? Do your eyes still burn intensely when you wear Air Optix Aqua for more than a day or two?
Spongebob is right. Starting a new topic is easy and fun. Why don't you tell us what happens when you try?
Okay, this isn't so much a stupid question as a personal one. Why do you only wear contact lenses 2-3 times a week?
Yeah, you don't want to get a rep, rileydc.
So what was it about your contact lens wearing days that made you decide you wanted to be an Eye Care Professional?
Oh, sure, if you want to take the easy way out . . .
Meh, he doesn't do much for me. I prefer girls. He looks good in contact lenses, though.
Isn't anyone going to say anything besides hello? I don't want to be the first. :o
I thought I'd go back to the beginning of this thread I started over three years ago. I want to thank everyone for all the great answers I got . . . as well as the fine pictures of Bonnie Raitt....
Did you and Jawsome both order your contact lenses from the same place? I tried looking through the thread to see, but I figured it would just be easier if I were to just come right out and ask you...
Thank you for those comments about Lens.com. Do you think their prices are good for those who are shopping in America? I can see what you mean about having the lenses shipped to Europe. After you pay...
Thank you Sox05. That sums it up nicely. If you asked me, I would agree to some that have posted before that you don't have to really worry about taking care of daily disposable lenses. Put them in...
Yeah. That's from that movie were the girl gets picked up by a tornado and goes from a black and white world to an Emerald City of Technicolor. No special contact lenses needed there.
So how's it going with those Air Optix contact lenses? Have they been lasting for a month like you'd hoped? We like to hear follow up about these things. Thanks for keeping us informed.
I too appreciate your commitment to your readers. Do you think you might order from Lens.com? I'd be curious to know what a blogger such as yourself thinks about their website. If you should decide...
I hope we get a reply from kymmhsn soon. It would appear that he or she is having some difficulty with their first contact lens experience. It sounds less than ideal. Hopefully we'll hear back soon...
You're talking about Air Optix For Astigmatism, right? CIBA Vision sure has a whole lot of contact lenses with "Air Optix" in the name.
I find it interesting that you consider price to be "not a...
Wait a minute. What? Run that by me one more time. You lost me.
It seems Rayban has been asleep--or neglecting this thread--for almost six months at this point.
I know I found that answer helpful.
I'm glad you're enjoying the Sean Connery picture. :)
You mean the sponsor appreciates your respect, right? The competitor may or may not appreciate it. :)
I wonder if kymmhsn's vision was totally blurred, or just around the edges as in the original question.
So I guess they're worth the price you paid for them.
Hi nickelpeed. Have you tried cleaning your contacts with Clear Care? It seems like most people are happy with that. I believe that's a hydrogen peroxide cleaner. Check on that though, because I...
Do you know someone who also wears ClearSight 1 Day Toric lenses just like you do, but their experience is totally different? You're comfortable, they're not? You can wear them for twelve hours while...
Do Biomedics Toric work just as well at night as they do during the day? Can you still make out shapes in low light? Do the lenses prevent halos around lights?
First of all, are these contact lenses known to you as SA 18 or Phoenix 18?
Secondly, if you have pet allergies or hay fever, do the contact lenses make your eyes feel worse, or do they have the...
If you're a long-time wearer of Paraperm EW contact lenses, you must have learned a few things about how to handle them. Do you have any tips on how to make these lenses more comfortable and last...
Do your eyes feel uncomfortable after a while if you're wearing SGP II lenses in front of a computer screen? How long can you work before you have to stop and rub your eyes or something? Are there...
If you happen to get a bit of dust or dirt in your eye, does the presence of a Paragon Thin contact lens make it difficult to remove? What advice do you have for your fellow Lens 101 members about...
Whenever I think of PMMA lenses, I think of "hard" lenses and I then wonder why anyone would wear them. That's just me, though. I want to know about you. When you first get up in the morning, do you...
I just read about someone who wears glasses most of the time and contact lenses sometimes. Why would someone only wear contact lenses sometimes? Isn't the whole point of contact lenses such as OP-6...
When I read the posts here on Lens 101, I get the impression that mot people try at least two or three different kinds of contact lenses in their lifetimes. I'm wondering if anyone out there has...
These contact lenses can be worn for quite a long time, being vial lenses. When you finally take out the pair of Vantage Thin contacts that you've had in for so long, do you ever just give your eyes...
These contact lenses can be worn for up to a year before they have to be replaced. When you take out an old pair of Hydro 02 contacts and discard them, do you put in a fresh pair right away, or do...
How many of you Fluoroperm 151 fans take your contact lenses out at night? You're supposed to be able to wear them 24/7, but some people just don't like to sleep in their contacts. Are you one of...
Are there any Lens 101 members here who don't wear Fluorocon contact lenses but are searching on behalf of someone else? Tell us about it, and tell us if you have found some good advice for your...
Does anybody here have and advice for anyone having trouble taking their Fluorex 700 contact lenses out. I hope no one is searching this forum with watery red eyes because they've been trying to get...
Have any of you had to get up in the middle of the night to take your Paragon HDS contact lenses out because you just couldn't make it through the night with them in? Had they been bothering you all...
Does anyone have any sage advice for people just starting out with Optimum Extra contact lenses? Have you discovered any clever ways to put them in and take them out more easily?
Was it pretty easy getting fitted for your Optacryl 60 contact lenses, or was there a little bit more effort involved? What was the difficulty?
For me, one of the missions of Lens 101 is to make sure people are careful when dealing with contact lenses. It's really sad how many people get used contact lenses from their friends, or buy them...
I think there may be some people out there who want to take shortcuts with their eye care. They think they can buy contact lenses without having them fitted by an eye doctor. Who here can tell them...
These being lenses that are only useful for one day, they must be very thin and fragile. Does that make them easier to wear or harder?
How long have you been wearing 1 Day Acuvue TruEye contacts? Do we have anyone on this forum who has been wearing them for more than a year? How many of you have been wearing them a little longer...
What, specifically, was helpful? We want to make sure we keep doing it, and if someone in particular was helpful to you, they should get the credit, don't you think?
Okay, so now it's blurry and teeny-tiny. :D
Maybe this will help:
"Though soft lenses are sealed in an airtight container, it's possible that over time the seal of the container can become...
Hi paws. It's good to have you here.
Yes, you can rinse your contact lenses with preservative free saline:
Some commercial saline solutions use preservatives to slow the growth of bacteria...
I hope so too, sexynerd. I like to think in these cases that no news is good news.
Thank you for those pictures, Deevine1217. Those gray contacts make you look very glamorous. Your blog is entertaining, too. Would you be interested in reviewing Lens 101 there? Maybe you can tell...
Great. We're looking forward to hearing from you again. Thank you for volunteering.
Thank you for checking back. It's nice to get follow-up, like ForeBwitu said. Let's hope Acuvue 2 is the one for you.
Yeah? Where does it say that PureVision lenses are the the thinnest on the market? That's cool.
As for seeing in high definition, I think reality is the highest definition of all, don't you?
Yes, I love they grey coloring, too. It looks beautiful. Next time you want to post a picture, start a new thread so we don't have to scroll down before we can see your eyes. You should be up top! :)
I don't know what's less appetizing, the dead octopus or that blue stuff.
That's the nice thing about being the guest of a vegetarian. The worst thing they can feed you is some strange plant, and...
That's a good idea LP39A. Contact lenses for everyone!
Not me, but I know of a couple of people who do that. When they put their pajamas and their glasses on, it's time to go home.
If you see curlers, you've far outstayed your welcome.
Not an outdoorsy person, huh? It's just as well. The Great Indoors are better for contact lens health and security.
Woah! Big pictures!
I'm anxious to see what your new contacts look like, but maybe some smaller pictures would be in order. :)
I can help you with part of your question. I found a nifty little graph that shows the oxygen permeability and water content of 9 popular brands of contact lenses. The caption says "Graph of oxygen...
Hi there kiredwin. Thanks for joining us after "lurking."
I can certainly understand your desire to have contact lenses that look realistic. I wish I had a big case full of lenses I could let you...
Well, then you'd get a ticket for driving without your corrective lenses in place. :p
Thank you for the European perspective. I once made a similar mistake of saying that someone Scottish was British or something, and he very politely told me that some people take great offense to...
It's been done, but I haven't done it myself, personally.
I'm sure I saw something about that here on Lens 101, and I tried to find it, but unfortunately the search function on this forum isn't...
Hi nigilina. Welcome to Lens 101. It's great to see so many new members signing up.
Thank you for your report on FeshLook contact lenses. We can always use reviews from people who have actually...
That's a good question. I didn't even know all that stuff about European Sales Tax. I wonder if anyone has ordered from Lens.com with a prescription from a European doctor?
I think maybe I'll...
What, no winter camping?
It would be funny if you found this site by searching for Waicon lenses, because the sponsor doesn't even sell them. So what do you think of Elegance Opaque? You can buy those at Lens.com:...
Thanks for the well wishes aggiedude. I hope the Clear Care does the trick for you.
How come you have to wait until next year to try SofLens 66? Is it an Insurance thing?
I think a lot of people would love to look like Sarah Palin. Like Tiney Fey, for example.
Terrific! The Staining Grid saves the day. :)
So, have you talked to a doctor yet, Tigger?
I feel your pain Autonation. I don't know where people get the idea that they have a "right" to smoke. It's not like the right to a fair and speedy trial or the right to vote or something.
Okay,...
Really? I never knew that. Boy, the things you can learn on Lens 101.
That's an excellent point, lurker2010.
Hi aggiedude. Welcome to Lens 101.
You say that the Air Optix for Astigmatism feels thick in your eyes. Is it something you could live with until you get used to it? Maybe Soflens 66 is your...
I'm glad it worked out ok for her. Thanks for passing along that tip.
Wow, that was a fast reply. Thanks for the tip.
Have you seen the Staining Grid? It tells you which solutions work best with which brands of contact lenses. Says here that PureVision lenses work...
Hi hokiegirl. It good to welcome another new member. I hope you will enjoy your time here. I also hope you learn to love your RGP lenses someday. If you haven't done so already, look around Lens 101...
Hi Tiggs. I love it when new people come and join us here on Lens 101. A fresh infusion of ideas and experiences is always welcome. I'm curious, what word did you Google to get here?
I'm afraid...
I'm guessing you're asking about Purevision contacts, since that's the section we're currently in?
I know a few people who wear contact lenses unless they've taken them out for the day, then they wear glasses. However, I haven't seen that in a long time. Have people stopped doing that in general?...
I quite agree. It seems to me that if someone wear glasses ever, they probably don't wear contacts and shouldn't start wearing contacts for their wedding.
Looking at that picture, it's not the blue food that makes me queasy, but the dead octopus. I don't eat anything with tentacles. I've got a rule . . .
I can't speak for faithib, but for me, when I've got some nice clothes, I feel good all over too.
Thanks for telling us about that deal. Looks like there's a mail-in rebate.
What a concept. You buy some contact lenses, send in a coupon and you get a good chunk of your money back. Check out...
Wow, that's a sad story. I think the guy who cheated on his exam felt almost as bad as his victim's family and friends.
I suppose with some vendors you can get pretty much whatever you want as long as you have cash on hand.
That's not a bad idea Blue Cat. The only reason I can think of why they haven't done what you suggested is perhaps a contact lens with so many layers of color is uncomfortable, I don't know.
