It's not uncommon to feel a little irritation when wearing contact lenses, especially if you're still new to the game. I did a search to find out about your irritation, but the only thing I found was...

I'm glad your eyes are okay, jojo. What brand of contact lens solution did your doctor recommend?

Hi lumese. Welcome to Lens 101. Take a look around the Eyeglasses section. That part of this site seems to be neglected, even though there's a lot of great information there. There's also an eye...

It sounds to me like the Proclear lenses worked out pretty well. Do you want to continue with them, or risk trying another brand, and maybe another, and another in a quest to find contacts that are...

Can you go to your local eye doctor and ask about those Solotica lenses?

Well then I guess that isn't the problem . . .

Keep the pictures coming.

Ted Baker? I thought you said Tom Baker. "Would you like a jelly baby?"

Great. Thanks for translating. I'll bet there are more than a few posts here that are hard to ready because of predictive text.

Wow, that's a shame. I don't know very much about how sunglasses are made, but it almost looks like the perfume dissolved some of the tint. In my opinion, you should go back to where you bought them...

I believe these lines to be the subject of this thread. In this picture it's the short blue line in about the 4 o'clock position. See it?

Welcome to our little corner of the Web, Johnsir. I hope you'll post something else.

That sounds about right to me, Bonkers. How about you, Sorbz62?

Thanks for sharing the good news. Do you have any stories about wearing glasses? That section needs posts. You might also be able to answer some questions while you're there.

On the Lens.com website, the question is asked "Do you ship Internationally?" ane the answer is "Yes! We ship orders world wide every day. We ship via FedEx International. Delivery times vary based...

Will you eventually come up with something useful to say?

Yes, really. The question was "do you think of an Ace of Spades or Ace of Bass?" Should be pretty simple, one or the other.

Do you have an answer to the question?

I was hoping that I could post a picture here so Lens 101 readers can see what Acuvue 2 Deep Blue lenses look like. So I did a Google search for "Acuvue 2 Deep Blue" and I was amazed how many...

What would be "protruding from the lens"? The color?

That's too bad. Are you sure you can't buy them online? Lens.com as Acuvue 2 Colours - Opaque for only $29.95 a box.

Now, when you say yo "never changed lenses," does that mean you're still wearing the same brand of lenses or the same pair of lenses?

What does you Mom's boyfriend know about them?

I hope you'll return and tell us about your experience with Clerz Plus.

You type very well for a 2 year old. ;)

Are you new to contact lenses as well?

I guess if bullseye stayed there for 23 years it must have been a cood sompany to work for. I wonder if they make glasses and lanterns in the same place?

That's a good idea. Thanks for the tip, Beer Goggles.

I hope you will let us know about your experiences too, jw2020.

So what's your secret for young-looking corneas? :)

Are you sure that's the right spelling, ranjana? I couldn't find it when I searched for it.

If I read their documentation properly, Dalies Total 1 lenses are made in Grosswallstadt, Germany.

Well, why not give them a try? Just because they have a banner on the website doesn't mean they're a bad place to buy from. I think it's good that they provided this forum to ask questions in at...

So did you learn anything useful in your visit to Lens 101?

That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. Is a fragmented contact lens a good reason to summon an ambulance to your house? Can a 911 dispatcher talk you through getting the fragment out...

Well, as long as you're happy. :)

Hello again, kolleen.koby. I'm seeing your name a lot on this forum today. Keep up the good work.

So in your reply up there, are you saying that protein starts building up on the [I]inside[I] of...

How long have you been wearing contact lenses kolleen.koby? Is it just a matter of having something touching your eyes that you're not used to?

Excellent, Rhodes95. I'm so glad you took to those lenses so quickly. Maybe the news of your success will motivate others to try RGP lenses. Keep us posted, and I hope your success continues.

Yeah, something about a desperate message inside a droid.

Is that the information you're looking for, sach160?

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your ability to wear contact lenses that "feel like an ice scraper is working on a particularly stubborn piece of ice" for six hours! I don't think I could...

Hi there, lisa30white. It looks like you're starting a new subject, and I don't want to distract people from Eyeofharmony's question, you know? They don't have a make-up section here, so it would be...

Are those Magic Top lenses in the pictures up there? I notice that they have two dark blue lines on them that extend out past the rest of the iris. Do you know what those lines are for?

Hi aamir. Welcome to Lens 101. Did you know that there's a section here that's just for Ray-Ban sunglasses? They might be able to help you there.

Thanks for your input on the forum, Amanda. I think some users share your views, both positive and negative. I have to admit that when I read oogguru's post I was surprised how young the contact...

Awesome. I'm glad that someone was able to give you a suggestion that you found worth investigating. I hope to get word from you by Monday about how the Lobob works.

The CIBAVision website says "Clear Care® solution offers excellent antimicrobial and cleaning efficacy, comfort and ease of use, and is an ideal choice for soft and RGP contact lens patients."

Well, it might not be so simple if someone has never had to switch brands before. It's not proverbial "rocket science" but it helps to get some professional input on a decision like this.
It's also...

Are those lenses available to patients in the US? I thought I read that they were from another country.

Great picture SandiStix. I made me snicker out loud.

That's what you call it when you laugh through your nose with your mouth closed, right?

Still hoping for good news . . .

I'll try that again.

"How much practice did you need before you weren't afraid to put your contacts in?"

What are your thoughts on Boston 7 lenses?

Wow, those are pretty eyes, but it's not so much the contact lenses as the makeup. If you know how to put on makeup like that I don't think you need colored contacts.

Am I allowed to say that he--

Is there any way you can get a trial pair of lenses?

Thanks for your replies, everybody. Sounds like in the case of contact lenses you think "it's better to look good than to feel good." :)

I'd still like to know how a multifocal lenses can use a "monovision style of correction."

Did you get that information yet?

Is it possible to get a good fit on the first try?

Thanks for your reply, luvbostonxo2's. I would imagine that those hard lenses probably don't absorb the moisture from your eyes like soft lenses do.

Are you going to admit that you said "no admit" instead of "not admit"? :p

So contact lenses that fit well don't slip, but don't grip. Got it.

It's only been a week or so. Give it time.

The poster's name is "John Hyland" by the way.

What about vitamins E, C and A, the ones that Faye2011 recommended?

"By turns." Does that mean you use hydrogen peroxide one day, and a multipurpose solution the next, and alternate?

If FitnessMistress got that many hits, it must work pretty well.

I bet they only do that once.

We're hoping to get some good news from you on Monday.

I'm not an optometrist, but I'll take a swing at this question.

A typical contact lens prescription looks something like this:

OD -2.75 8.7 14.0
OS -3.50 8.7 14.0

Sometimes...

Cool. That's a great start. So you wear toric lenses, then? What brand?

What about Softcon EW lenses? They're just about the only vial contact lenses still available on Lens.com. They're not custom made, but they're still very nice and you will probably get them when...

Would you recommend Lens Marketplace to out American friends?

I did a Google search for Biotrue and found some reviews on Amazon.com:

Well, you certainly should protect those Irish eyes, but lest this thread strike undue fear in the hearts of Lens 101 readers, allow me to quote from the All About Vision website:

Let's see, it depends on your doctor's instructions, but the manufacturer recommends that you change FreshLook ColorBlends once a week if you don't take them out at night. If you do take them out to...

Is that right? Do contact lenses have anything to do with stuff that goes on under the eyes?

Interesting post, Faye2011. What foods are especially high in vitamins E, C and A?

Please don't say "Brussels sprouts."

I don't think a colored contact lens will have a significant difference in fit than a clear lens. I think it's more about what the lenses are made of.

I wonder if anyone here has two different...

Interesting word association. I thought about how some people call they grandmother "Nana."

Oh, I love The Carpool Game!

[Insert lawyer joke here.]

Yeah, but I wonder if it might interfere with your aerodynamics--or would that be "hydrodynamics"?

What made you decide you wanted red contact lenses?

That sounds like a Monty Python sketch. "How to Talk Like You're British." That's got to be more popular than "Being Hit on the Head Lessons."

Yes, that's what I meant. That makes more sense than "would would have expected that sort of thing" doesn't it? :p

It wouldn't be the first time that a company has been motivated by profits.

I'll just bet she would, Hogwartz. I'd share my ice cream with her if she asked nicely. :)

I think nakedeyes just wants to know what question you're answering without searching for it. See how easy it is to know what I'm responding to? It's right up there in the box. I don't think it's...

The only brand of contact lenses that are still available at Lens.com in Jade Green are Expressions Colors.
