One lens lost every five years is a pretty good record. Do you do anything special to make sure your lens doesn't roll off your finger like it did luvbostonxo2's?

Maybe this will help you, Contacthelp. I found it on allaboutvision.com.

Are your contact lenses uncomfortable? One or more of these remedies may be what you need.

If your eyes don't look good,...

Did you give up on contact lenses previously for the same reason? What makes you sure sure Blink N Clean doesn't work?

No snow here in Chicago (for a change). It's sunny, but a little cool. I'm glad you decided to go to a different eye doctor after the first one couldn't find any suitable contacts for you.
So it...

That's probably the best one I've seen yet, Jaws.

Is that a sundial he has in his jacket there?

Always nice to get a Seinfeld reference in before lunch.

You should totally color your hair pink and green like that.

Thanks for the side-by-side comparison. It really helps. You have a beautiful smile, by the way. :)

To be honest, in that picture it doesn't look like the Misty Grey lenses change your eye color all that much. Was that your intention?

I'm not an expert, but it sounds to me like you've got the wrong prescription, simple as that. Maybe you can go to another doctor for a second opinion, but I don't know if doctors do that any more...

I don't really think it's mold. Maybe it's residue from dried contact lens solution? I don't know how plausible that is, but maybe someone else can set me straight.

That's good to know. I'll bet someone find this thread because they were looking for just that sort of information.

Thank you for explaining all that, Clearlab.

I hope things get better for you, mrsrony. I don't think it's normal to have so much discomfort, even in the beginning. I wonder why your doctor doesn't like silicone contact lenses?

It sounds like you're doing Corneal Reshaping Therapy or CRT. Those lenses alter the shape of your corneas during the night so you can go without contacts during the day. Try letting your eyes rest...

That's encouraging at least. Hopefully this specialist will be able to help fit you with some good lenses.

We're hoping for success as well, rainbowgirl. I hope those contacts will help you enjoy yourself this weekend.

You probably shouldn't have a headache and feel dizzy after wearing contact lenses after several hours. You should ask your doctor about it.

This is one of those questions that took a long time to find an answer to. Maybe that's why you posted it here. ;) Most websites about sports tinted contact lenses want to tell you how great they are...

They may be a little to expensive for that. If I'm going to lose a special sports contact lens, I'd rather do it when being tackled than while raking leaves, you know what I mean?

They make you see what clearly? Don't all contact lenses "make you see something clearly"? The question is about sport contact lenses, about which I know nothing. :o Maybe you can be more helpful,...

I've been reading this thread and I'm sorry you're having such a bad time with your contact lenses. I'm glad that you've discovered Clear Care, though. I've read some rave reviews on this forum about...

Here's hoping that those Air Optix lenses will be just what you need. For your dry eyes, you may want to go with some eye drops. There are some other posts on this site that have information about...

Yeah, sometimes it doesn't rip easily when you're trying to rip off a usable portion for its intended purpose.

Thanks for the Sensitive Eyes information.

Ah, yes . . . sorry about that.

He wears glasses and he's friendly. What a guy.

I can be sexy without glasses.

Yeah, they might even strut around a pole in dangerously high heels.

What are you, the Forum Police?

Those two statements aren't necessarily contradictory, although it sounds like it at first read. The first one says "As far as infection goes, they should be...

Oh good. I love a happy ending. :)

*Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll*

(Tire screech sound.)

Mmmmmm . . . . Pamela Anderson . . .

Would you happen to know what those color-correcting contact lenses are called? We may have some readers on this website who may find such information useful.

Yeah, she's pretty incredible, isn't she?

What was that little dude's name, anyway? I went to the Wikipedia article but I didn't see it.

Good, I'm glad I could help out.

Whatever works, LittleElvis. If that doesn't work, maybe you can try counting hound dogs. (Rim shot.)

Yeah, in certain more conservative areas they're pretty serious about that sort of thing. :)

So how do RGP lenses feel after about four weeks? Can you actually call them "comfortable" by then?

Wow, that guy's glasses look just like mine. Fortunately, I can truthfully say that he's got more forehead than I do.

Not that it's a bad look. I'm just sayin'.

What's the latest, comedy k? Did you find contact lenses with the right sized pupil opening?

It was nice for AmigaBonita to provide the number though.

As Andy Taylor might say: "That's right neighborly."

It was a nice try, Steve. I wonder if we'll ever know what brand of sunglasses that Elvis wore?

Check it out--some sunglasses even come with sideburns.

It looks like you're right, AllyCat.

Are you still having trouble with night vision, naveehgreen?

Do you do any skiing or snowboarding, victoria stiles? If so, do you wear the same goggles for either activity?

Water cannot "turn into" bacteria or anything that will cause an infection. The only way you can get an infection is if some kind of microscopic creature or even a tiny bit of debris can cause your...

Wow, sorry to hear about that problem. I've been on this board a long time and it's never happened to me. People get strange ideas when they see a board like this. Thy think "I'm going to post a...

I found a website that had some good advice for getting a stuck contact lens off of your eye: "You won't lose anything by pausing for 30 seconds." Rule Number One for stuck contact lenses: Don't...

Hello comedy k. I like that name. Are you funny?

Are you having a problems with both lenses having a pupil opening that's too big?

You probably should have started a new thread since we started out talking about MiraFlow contact lens cleaner, but let's see that we can do.

I found a site called webcontacts.com.au that has a...

Here's a thread that's already been visited by lurker2010 with several suggestions on how to convert your glasses prescription to a contact lens prescription. It's pretty complicated, though. I'd...

Yes, it's a very vibrant shade, isn't it?

Yeah, and believe it or not, it's not the pair that Elvis is wearing.

Hopefully, your friends won't mock you. "Nice ski goggles, dude! What, you couldn't find any snowboarding goggles like mine? What a loser!"

A "perception problem"? What does that mean?

That explanation sounds kind of suspicious to me as well, unless maybe you're a tarsier. Are you a tarsier?

It's probably a good idea not to sleep in your contact lenses. I'd like to know if you've tested in dim light yet.

Are those the same thing as the wave contact lenses I asked about?

I'm not saying that you shouldn't take your contacts out, but I'm asking about when you do take them out. Do you do so because it's been X number of days since you put them in, or do you take them...

When you've had your contact lenses in all day long, do they start to bother you at the end of the day like they're saying "take us out"? What does that feel like?

Have there been any new developments in Biofinity contact lenses? Some fancy new material or something? Have they come up with a way to make them change the channel when you blink?

I'm curious to know how this forum has changed the world. Have any of you tried Biomedics Toric contact lenses because of something you read here in Lens 101? What was said about them them made you...

Well, we're glad you found us here. I hope you enjoy your time with us and find it helpful. Tell your friends.

Shakibabe88 . . .? Hello . . . ?

Nah. Typical dude wants to tell his girlfriend she's just right, just the way she is.

At least, that's what I would say if I had a girlfriend. Is that typical?

I couldn't find any sunglasses with "racing green" frames, although I did find these shades in "Race Neon."

I've heard that too, dontblink, about the crisper vision from TGP lenses.

At first glance they're similar, but if you look again, they're not the same shape, and only one pair has sparklies on them.

I was going to say the same thing, babyblues. Biofinity Toric lenses would correct astigmatism. Well, they're supposed to, anyway.

Hi Brian/GoodBoy. Welcome to Lens 101.

The contact lenses for astigmatism (No "s" at the end.) are called "toric" lenses. You weren't imagining things. They're supposed to rotate a little when...

Hi sproutjps. It looks like you're having a tough time. Let me see if I can help.

According to Lens.com "We have been notified by the manufacturer, CIBA VISION, of a delay in manufacturing and...

Nice job. I just came from that thread. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.

So how do you like the lenses? Are they comfortable?

Hey, look. It's the Shakibabe Gallery! Love it! :)

Yup. It's a well-known phenomenon called "surface tension."

Hi naveehgreen. Welcome t Lens 101. I'm glad you found us.

It sounds like what you're experiencing are called "halos." Do lights look something like this?
...

Yes, Eyecaramba is a good name for a forum like this. :)

I hope you and your eye doctor can find a solution to your "blurries."

Check this out. "When you first put [contact lenses] on the water aspect is saline
solution. And as you wear them to saline is replaced with your tear
film."

Did you know that? When you put in...

Is there any way you can get your Biomedics EP contact lenses customized to your eyes? Not just the diameter and the curve, but also shaped to fit any irregularities that may be present?

Have you ever heard of "wave" contact lenses? They are used for people who have keratoconus, which is when the surface of the cornea is uneven. Naturally, this makes contact lenses difficult to wear...

I read that when you hold your iPhone or GameBoy too close to your face while using it, it causes strain on your eyes that can lead to focusing problems later on. They said you should pull your eyes...

Has your prescription for ClearSight 1 Day contact lenses been changing over time? Are your eyes getting better or worse?

Probably not. She's likely just a model that gets paid to wear T-shirts.

I did a Google search for "contact lens model" and here's one of the results.

You're welcome.

We're still glad you decided to join us, autumn_leaf. Maybe after you've read more of this forum you'll feel more confident to answer some questions.

Looks like a multiloop stabilizer to me. It looks pretty old though. Like it came from a Type 40 TT Capsule.

Are there any nerds out there besides me and Eyeofthetiger that's getting the humor in...

Yeah, it's really sad what's happening in Japan these days. I hope they get that cleaned up soon without too many casualties.

The simplest definition of median that I could find was "the value below which 50% of the cases fall." So if you have a brand of contact lenses with ten different base curves, the median would be the...

I guess for something like that you would only need a brief search. Thanks Building63.

Yes, FirstDown, that's right. That's probably a better explanation that mine.

Okay, one more picture and maybe we can put this thread to rest.

It would be tough for Drugstore.com to sell Miraflow if CIBAVision wasn't making it, right?

Yes, but only at fully clothed women smiling at me while holding a camera.

Wow, that's too bad that you flat out hate your contact lenses. How come? It's probably because they're uncomfortable, right?

If you're wearing daily contact lenses, you can only wear them for one day because they don't hold up very well and by the time you wear them once, they're worn out and can't be reused without...

It looks like LP39A got to you first with some good information. Once you pass the NCLE how will your optician practice change? Will you have a new title?

See what happens when you pay attention? :D

Yeah, I thought she was pretty cute too when I found that picture. I'm glad you like it. Does it make you want to buy some FreshLook ColorBlends?

Have you tried those contact lenses yet? Will we be seeing pictures, soon?

Misty Blue is the model who's wearing Brilliant Blue contact lens in her right eye and True Sapphire in her left eye on another thread. See Post #4.

I don't know much about ultrasonic cleaners. There are some posts about them here on this forum, but that's about all I know.
I would like to know more about hose lens inserter things. Would you...
