I recently changed my style when I lost my glasses and had to fall back on an old pair.

I thought "Ce-Tru" kind sounds like the name of a rapper.

I woder if anyone was so impressed with the name that they bought these glasses.

In Lens 101, you need a minimum number of posts before you can include a picture, and I think you've met the quota just by saying how long you've waited for those lenses. :)

--and you won't have to plug your tear ducts!

I couldn't either, Eldrad. Sorry.

We seem to get a lot of questions about discontinued lenses. Is there a website out there somewhere where people can look up a substitute? Something that has a chart with one column of the names of...

How do people get their order shipped directly to the US?

To become an optometrist one must complete a four year program at an accredited optometry school. You can find a list of programs accredited by the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education on...

I got the lightweight lenses, but I skipped the anti-reflective coating. I finally realized that I've never been bothered by the reflections from someone's glasses. Most of the time people move their...

I think I'd do the chain store because it would probably be faster.

Take the credit, Guinness!

I now what you mean, Little Elvis. You do a search for "Aiden Thomas glasses" and all you get are pages and pages of pictures of glasses with no one wearing them. I suppose they don't want you to...

That looks like the work of spammers. The word "distributor" after "plugs" tells me that this glasses question got mixed up with a car question somehow.

That's a great Doctor Who quote. Destiny of the Daleks, right?

As for my taste in glasses frames, I prefer rectangular lenses to make my round face look less so.

I wore rimless glasses for a while, because I wanted my glasses to be invisible. Recently I decided to throw caution to the wind and get some plastic frames and I like them.

I found 17 model numbers with the 720 prefix.

Wikipedia says "Another name for the color eggplant is aubergine (the French and British English word for eggplant)."

As far as I know they're all like that, NYGiants.

Unless The Government has a secret stash . . .

I think it would be silly not to try them on.

So far it looks closer to "none at all." Would "my T-shirt" answer your question?

That's hard to say without seeing what color you're asking about.

In another rather long thread here on Lens 101, someone recommended Solotica opaque lenses as a substitute for Elegance lenses....

We're glad to have you with us. How did you find Lens101? Did someone recommend it to you?

I've never heard of it being done that way, but if you can get those lenses out without pulling your eyelids, more power to you. Start practicing, or just believe me when I say it's very rare for...

I'm glad those Biofinity lenses work so well for you. Do you drive with contact lenses in?

We can't wait to hear from you and see how you use your years of experience to help other people on Lens 101.

So what do you think of nicole420pm's contact lenses, Polaska?

The brand of lenses is part of the prescription, so if you want to wear FreshLook ColorBlends, you need a prescription for those. When you order from Lens.com, they check with your doctor to confirm...

How did you wind up posting twice? ;) Is there some kind of glitch in the system that the forum administrators should know about?

I've never heard of being prescribed just one contact lens. The closest thing I know is monovision, where one lens is for reading and the other is for distance. Since your prescription is only about...

If you want to read a nice, long discussion on the fate of vial lenses, check out this thread: http://www.lens101.com/vial-contact-lenses/129708-vial-contacts-discontinued.html

I hope that answers...

If you just look for "soflens platinum," you won't find the lenses. The brand I believe everyone is buzzing about is Soflens Natural Colors.

You couldn't see samrina and her beautiful contact lenses and cool oversized shades?

At least you've made some progress. I don't know what to suggest that you haven't already tried, tricity. Can you live with less than 100%?

True, but Johnson & Johnson probably paid a lot of money for that product placement. Still, it's not as bad as Internet pop-up ads. Those must go. It would be like you talking to your friends and all...

According to the Orion Vision Group website, this is what their baby blue lenses will look like on dark brown eyes.

It would be easier of we had your contact lens prescription. Converting a glasses prescription to a contact lens prescription isn't as simple as just adding 1 or something. It's like saying "what...

Good idea, sylvia, and a hearty Lens 101 congratulations to perservere1 on her upcoming wedding. Will we get to see wedding pictures? We never get to see the wedding pictures.

I agree with Beer Goggles. (I don't often get a chance to associate someone with such a colorful name.) Go to an eye doctor who will listen to you.

You will probably need a prescription to buy those cosmetic lenses, in which case you can simply ask your eye doctor for a script that with a -1.75 cylinder. If he or she won't give you one, then you...

I found a similar case on another website and for them it was the solution they used to clean their lenses. According to the Staining Grid, you should be fine using any major brand of cleaning...

As far as . . . what? Storing your contacts over night? What cleaning supplies to take with you? I'm not sure what you're looking for.

Way to sell those RGPs, excess3. ;-)

If you want to order bifocal contact lenses from a site like Lens.com, you need the base curve, diameter, sphere, cylinder and axis. Below is an example of what a contact lens prescription looks...

You said that already, except for the link to another site that has little or nothing to do with your post. If you have a question, that's fine, but if you're using this forum to advertise for...

I think you made the right call with the Sterling Grey lenses. Did you order them from Lens.com?

Hi Ufgt. Welcome to Lens 101.

It looks like those contact lens brands are both the same base curve (8.6) but they have a slightly different diameter, which may affect the way they fit. The only...

Nice to hear from you again, cattt. We missed you. :)

Welcome jimm. I've read many posts about people having to take some time to get used to new lenses. You may want to try to wear some new lenses every day for a week or so. If things get a little...

Go ahead and ask some questions. We're here to help.

That's handy.

I don't understand the poll. It looks like it has three questions rather than one question and two answers to choose from.

Allow me to welcome you to Lens 101 also. I hope you have some good news to report about your monovision lenses.

Thanks for checking. I know they don't sell Solotica lenses, but what do you think of Lens.com? I like the site myself.

I say you've got a winner in Air Optix Monthlies.

Hi Sultrygrey69. I'm sorry to hear about your predicament. If there was "mad man with a surplus hiding them in fortess" you definitely don't want to buy from him.
I hope it helps to tell you that I...

[QUOTE=luvbostonxo2's;207950]

Can you recommend something that's close? I'm sure camizfree would agree that it's better than nothing.

Do you have a pair yourself?

I'm glad you conducted you business privately. It seems that they don't like people trying to sell "foreign" lenses on this forum, which I understand. If I set up a forum like this I wouldn't want to...

I haven't bought those lenses myself, and I couldn't find anything about Cinza lenses that looked legitimate. Mostly it was websites trying to sell them, rather than testimonies from people who have...

Hi there GotICL. I'm sorry your condition has gotten you so depressed. I found an article on oneclearvision.org that might be useful.

In most cases, floaters are part of the natural aging process...

Thank you for such a detailed account of your contact lens experience, mizkrissi. It's nice to hear from another person from Australia. We've had a few stop by from time to time. Tell me, do you find...

Thanks for explaining that. I wondered about it myself.

Not all contact lenses are the same. Just because you're an 8.8 in one brand doesn't mean you'll use that same size for all brands. See your doctor to be fitted for color contact lenses. You'll avoid...

Thanks for those good suggestions.

That's pretty smart, hopesvava. Are you an eye doctor?

I would recommend buying contact lenses from a reputable seller. I wouldn't want to put anything on my eyes that was less than top quality.

That doesn't sound like you're suggesting anything extraordinary. Do you mean to tell the people of Lens 101 that if you just use common sense and take care of your contact lenses according to your...

Hi Priva. Thanks for joining us.

Someone asked a similar question on another site that's similar to Lens 101, but it's not as good. ;)

"Q: I have myopia problem since the age of 15. I am now...

Welcome to Lens 101. I'm glad you found us here.

This may be just the ticket, Keith. I found this at www.allaboutvision.com: If your cataract surgery involves both eyes, you might consider...

That's one green light for mejaus to get contact lenses.

Do you have a particular brand in mind yet, mejaus?

I'm glad you've had some improvement. Is this a satisfactory situation for you, with the reading glasses for the phone and all?

Sorry Nick, but I got a little distracted. Did you say you had a prescription for 2.25 lenses but you were able to change your own prescription and get a 2.75 lens? Can you do that without your eye...

Thanks, sylvia.

So you like the Crystals then? Don't those have to be imported into the US? Does that mean they take longer to get to you?

Welcome to the forum, Charlie. Keep us posted on your situation.

It looks like the lovely hopesvava has gotten some comments from virtual strangers . . . like us. :)

Get it? Virtual? Computer?

Sorry to be so thick, but if the prescription numbers are the same for both lenses, how can they fit differently? Isn't like having two size 6 dresses? Shouldn't they both fit the same because the...

In your 10+ years of contact lens wearing, have you experienced anything like this before?

Headaches are not a normal part of wearing contact lenses. Hopefully a small adjustment in your...

You're a girl after my own classic rock loving heart, cattt. :) Care to join me in a little "Stray Cat(tt) Strut"?

I'm glad you got this situation straightened out. I think the doctor's office should have asked you about the Acuvue Moist brand before switching you. Would you consider buying your contacts from...

So much for a brand that no longer exists. Is there a brand available now that's close?

Yeah but do you think that beauty contestants should be allowed to wear them?

Those are some very good suggestions, jesscarp. Maybe the Lens.com Web Guys will see this and make a few changes.

I didn't know that. So a person has to put the "D" lens in the same eye all the time, even if the prescription is identical to the other one, as it is in this case?

You sound like a commercial. :D

Now that's the luvbostonxo2's I'm more familiar with. I hope that wasn't you in that other post with all the misspelled words and mean attitude.

Wow, I'm really sorry about your pain, cattt. I can't imagine. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything about relieving the pain except maybe an ice pack. I hope you find something that helps....

OK, who is this and what have you done with luvbostonxo2's? He/She used to write intelligent posts with complete words, correct spelling and everything.

Somewhere out there there's an airline pilot who can't see up close with contact lenses. :eek:

Just kidding. How many different kinds of contact lenses have you tried? Are you willing to try a few...

Are you really going to use the "people do it all the time" defense? People do a lot of dumb things that they shouldn't do. Haven't you ever watched "America's Funniest Home Videos"?

It gives me...

I wonder how often that happens?

I hope luvbostonxo2's reply was helpful to you.

I'm glad those lenses are working out so well for you Daeve.

Hello James77. Welcome to Lens 101. It's a shame about your contact lens tearing. Can you tell us a little more information, like what kind of lenses they are and if there's some kind of pattern to...

Nice laser cannon, dragongirl81. A very fitting illustration. :)

Wow, talk about a major mix-up! I hope everything works out for you now, singerjeannie.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and extensive experience, luvbostonxo2's. Now, when you say that "JJ the worse and unstable on the eye," do you mean Johnson & Johnson? If so, have you found that...

What kind of lenses are you the most knowledgeable about? What is your area of expertise?

Hey there. BonnieBlueBelle. Thanks for the picture, you look really nice. Those Natural Touch lenses have been discontinued, haven't they?

I found another thread here in Lens 101 about the...

Hi mobber001. So those Acuvue lenses are okay then? All nice and comfy?

Hi Mafaldina. Welcome to Lens 101. I'm glad you found us all the way from Slovenia.
How long have you been wearing contact lenses? Have your eyes always been this sensitive?
