Jennifer Lopez, or "J-Lo" as she is often called, was very popular a few years ago, especially for a certain attribute that she sits on. That's not a place for glasses, though. Do you like J-Lo...

Have you heard of a company called 39 Dollar Glasses? I don't know much about them. Can you really get any pair of glasses you want for thirty-nine bucks, or is it like they do with cable TV where...

I was just reading an article about fashion trends for glasses. I never really thought of glasses as a fashion accessory. Can someone tell me the fashion facts of Jill Stewart glasses? Can you make...

Wow. I didn't realize that Cipro has such severe side effects. I've taken it myself, but never for more than a week or ten days at a time.
I think it's a good eye idea to talk to your...

Do you think you might try those contact lenses for yourself, dda1960?

That's an excellent point, Uumode. I'm glad you brought it up. Bifocal lenses help people who have trouble seeing both close up and far away.

Anyone can get prescription lenses. I think Tonythetiger was asking if you can get lenses made just for you and not just an "off the shelf" size. For example, a typical contact lens prescription...

Maxim by Vision Science. I've never heard of them. Are they a contact lens company like Bausch & Lomb?

There's always a risk when you're having surgery. When you think about it, there's risk involved in making your morning coffee. (Even if you let your friendly neighborhood barista do it.) If you want...

Good work, Shamrocker.

I'm looking forward to the pictures, Raubtier. Have you tried other brands besides Solotica?

If your contact lenses slide around on your eyes, it's possible that you have the wrong base curve. I know this is kind of a dumb question, but were you fitted for those lenses by an eye care...

Hi Sidge. There are contact lenses that are designed to be slept in, but sometimes you run into problems anyway. Regarding wear time for Acuvue Oasys lenses, http://answers.acuvue.com says "You can...

I think wood sunglasses are a unique look. It would also be funny for a carpenter or a lumberjack or something.

My guess is that the "big danger" is ordering lenses on line and then when you get them in the mail they don't fit and you can't get your money back. Make sure you trust your source.

Wow, did anybody read all three paragraphs? I have to admit I just skimmed them.

Thanks for those tips, sarmi. I'll have to remember that the next time I'm in the presence of corrosive gas.

This is a great post, sarmi. I'm glad you think sunglasses are an office necessity, but don't you think people would look kind of silly at their computers or at a staff meeting wearing sunglasses?

You bought contact lenses at a flea market? You'd never catch me doing that. I'd only buy from a medical professional. I might also buy them from a website like Lens.com, but only if my doctor gave...

Today is Thursday. I hope to hear from you soon with some encouraging news. In the meantime, I'm constantly amazed at the things that eye doctors can do. Whatever the reason for your floaters and...

That's a very good point, lurker2010. Who needs insurance if you can get glasses for ten bucks? What about the exam, though? Can you get an eye exam included in that ten dollars?

Well, it's a great site and I want people to know about it.

Well, that doesn't sound right. It sounds like you did everything you were supposed to do. Did the experience convince you to switch to a different cleaning product?

OK good. I'm not the only one who asked for clarification.

What's goin' on. luvbostonxo2's? Where have you been? Have you been having fun without us?

Ah, yes. Subtle difference.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

Mr. Sulu, get me Wikipedia. Let's see what they say about me . . .

That's what it sounds like to me, Purpleiris.

Intelihealth.com says Treating double vision depends on its cause. For example, people with astigmatism that causes double vision can wear special contact lenses. Sometimes, simply updating your...

I love that animated picture, Nursenancy. As for me, David Tenant doesn't do all that much for me. I wonder if the Tenth Doctor would have been as popular without his glasses?
...

I wonder what they're doing now?

Yeah, right? Hopefully you'll notice the blur as soon as one lens is in.

No, it's a reply, silly. :p

So come on back and post some more, hardlens. Let's bond some more.

How long have you been using Clear Care? It sounds like you're experienced enough to avoid burning your eyes with it. (However, I think you're also experienced in spelling "as," and look what...

Do you think she's a bit too young for Deep Purple?

Wow, only one brand?

I'd help you look, but I don't know what to call it either. A search for "contact lens cleaner" will only result in pictures of bottles of drops.

I think it's a ploy to sell more glasses. :D

I only have one pair of glasses, and I've never wished for another except maybe during one of those rare moments when I can't find them.

Oh, and in...

You would think that since they're both made by Opti-Free that they would compare them side by side, but this is the best I can do.

From www.opti-free.com:
OPTI-FREE® PureMoist® Contact Solution...

That's odd. I wonder why they did that? Did you say that this was on the Lens.com site?

I've been reading this forum for years and I think that's the first I've heard of different power lenses having a slightly different color. Have you noticed this with other brands as well?

I would imagine there would be a lot of blinking going on while those RGP lenses settled down.

I wish I could be British. If only there were some classes I could take or something.

Judging by luvbostonxo2's next answer, I'd say that one step cleaners are "fantastic" if you just want to clean a little dirt or dust from them. A thorough, overnight cleaning is another matter.

Hi luvbostonxo2's. I don't wear RGP lenses, but I thought you can wear them for weeks and months before throwing them away. Do you mean that people should clean their lenses every day, even if...

Hello aquaeyes. Welcome to Lens 101. I hope we can provide you with the answers you are seeking.

(Wow. That makes me sound like some kind of yogi on a montain top or something. "What truths do...

Wow, that's a hard question for someone like me to answer. One, because I'm not a surgeon, and two because I don't have crossed eyes. When you were younger you probably didn't have much input into...

Wow, yeah. I can see why people who have strabismus would have difficulty with those 3-D glasses. Is you vision corrected in day-to-day life with glasses, Kara2kara?

Thanks, Jads. I've noticed that burning feeling myself sometimes. So I don't need any eye drops or anything, just blink more and take breaks?

Well, let's hope that if your Mom has to suffer the consequences of wearing her contacts so much without being checked by her doctor, may they be just severe enough to get her attention and get her...

I've heard that hard lenses can actually re-shape your corneas so that you can see clearly without lenses for a short time. Have you experienced this with your RGP lenses?

For some reason Lens.com doesn't tell you how long you can wear these lenses on the site, but because I'm clever I noticed that Acuvue 2 Colours - Opaques come six lenses to a box, and when contact...

There are a lot of people out there who like to wear their contact lenses longer than they're supposed to. Do your Biofinity Toric contact lenses start to get very uncomfortable when it's time to...

When the day has ended and you're ready to take out your contact lenses and go to bed, do they become uncomfortable for you?

Stress can have many negative effects on your body. Have you noticed that when you're under a lot of pressure your Biomedics contact lenses feel different? How do the actually feel? How do your eyes...

Have you noticed your eyelid twitching a bit when you were wearing your OP-10 contact lenses? Did you find out what was causing it and them make it stop?

Do you have difficulty reading while you're wearing Air Optix Night & Day Aqua? DO you take them out when you want to read? Maybe you use reading glasses in addition to the contact lenses. What's...

What's it like reading with Vertex Sphere contact lenses? Is it a lot easier, or does the presence of the lenses actually make it more difficult to read?

i think we've all been told by our parents at one time or another that we couldn't have something because we weren't old enough. Did you have to wait until you reached a certain age before you could...

Are ClearSight 1 Day contact lenses the first daily disposable contact lenses you've tried? What made you choose that brand?

Have you been waiting for some kind of "sign" that it's time to try 1 Day Acuvue TruEye contact lenses? Now that you've gotten them, what do you think? Do you wish you would have found them sooner?

"Friday" was six months ago. How are things going with you and your PureVision lenses? Did you post something in the PureVision section?

Yeah, all RawBob needed was a rim shot. Ba-dum-bum!

Wow, from The Simpsons to Star Trek. This thread covers all the bases.

Not if those guys with the curtains on their heads are going to be there. :eek:

How's it going, 4eyed? Did you order those contact lenses through Lens.com like you said you wanted to?

Hi there Chromeo. I did a search and I didn't find a brand of colored toric lenses that had not been discontinued, and come in your power. I even went outside of Lens.com and did a generic Google...

Wow, that's too bad, nebucanazza. Looking over your story, the thing that got my attention was that you're wearing RGP contacts, which are also known as "hard" lenses. I know you said that where you...

Hi there Jackorific. Seems you're new around these parts. Let me give you a warm welcome to our contact lens and glasses forum.

Someone wrote in a while ago with similar issues. Here's what they...

Well, I suppose they gave lisa3girls a reason not to give up and give the new lenses a try. She feels better now, so we can take comfort in that. They done good, right?

Okay, now if you go to Lens.com and look up Natural Touch/Elegance the page looks normal, except for the button you click that normally says "Add to Cart." On the NT pages it's greyed out and it says...

Woah! Purple font! How cool!

Well, good. I'm glad the Blink gave you some relief.

That's funny. There are plenty of pictures on the Internet of Biofinity boxes, but I couldn't find one that showed this "open here" thing. Maybe someone has a box they can photograph and post it here.

Still no word from Karloff. I hope that's good news.

Were you excited to pick up your first pair of Polycon II contacts? You researched and you came to the conclusion that they were the right contacts for you, and then you got them. Were they as good...

When you're young, you always want to be older. You stare at your face in the mirror looking for the slightest indication that today might be the day you start shaving.
When you're older, you try...

Do we have anyone here who's farsighted and wears Paragon HDS 100 contact lenses? What were some of the clues that you needed to get some contacts to help you read? Did you start with reading glasses...

I'm not good at math so I'll address the second part of your post.

Cylinder and axis are contact lens measurements if you have astigmatism. These two measurements correct for that blur.

Those are actually very low prescriptions. .25 is the lowest I know of. Maybe you need something a bit stronger. Especially since adding your reading glasses makes everything so clear. You may want...

Hi Yasmin.

Sorry, really the only website I know anything about is Lens.com, and they don't sell Solotica contact lenses.

I'm afraid I haven't been to Southern California, but I'd like to know if anyone else knows about this NVision place.

I'm glad you were able to find some helpful answers here, phyllis.

I guess that's why 3scompany communicates vial Internet forum. He/She doesn't want to scare anyone.

That's a great self-portrait there JazzinTN. It's a nice action pose. Were you in Tennessee when that picture was taken? That's a place with some wonderful scenery. I have relatives who live near...

What did you do? Did you stop wearing the Air Optix lenses?

Thanks for the eyeball pictures. What color is your hair? I can't even see your eyebrows in those pictures. I don't know how you would feel about posting pictures of your whole face, but that would...

Meh, tough guys on motorcycles don't have accidents! ;)

There are helmet laws here in the States, too, but I think they're state-by-state rather than a national law.

Do you wear contact lenses...

Looking good, Golden83! Thanks for giving us more pictures. I'm glad you like the contacts. They look good and they're comfortable to wear right? Not too expensive either?

That's a really nice green color, Golden83. Is that your natural color on the right, there?

Good question, Garfield21, and it's one that I'm not qualified to answer. Perhaps the person you read about has an issue with making both eyes work together. Kind of like crossed eyes, sometimes...

That guy on the right, the one not dressed as a vampire. Is that George Bush?

Hi Jeff. You're the second representative from the great state of Texas that I've heard of today. Welcome to Lens 101. I'm glad you've found some good information. Sometimes when we don't get many...

Good thing you found a good Texas eye doctor. ;)

Seriously though. What you're telling us is that you've been seeing your eye doctor on a regular basis (ideally once a year), and a week before you...

I agree. Lens.com has prices that are hard to beat. Click the red banner up above and see for yourself.

Wal-Mart gets their contact lenses from a competitor of Lens.com. Boooo!

I'm not a contact lens expert, but in my preliminary research (which means I looked it up on Lens.com) Sofmed Breathables are made of 54% enfilcon A and 46% water.

So are the Avaira Toric. You...

So how are you and your contact getting along these days, PB10016? Are your eyes still clear and bright?

Maybe someone should contact the Webmaster for Lens.com. They still appear to be selling them.

If you decide to order the lenses, could you...

You tell a sad story Sandy. I'm sorry that you're having such a hard time. Maybe once you get that lost contact lens replaced everything will go back to normal. Have you told your current doctor that...

Yeah, I'd heard that too, but I haven't actually seen the film.
