I hope those lenses continue to feel "heavenly" for you. If not, maybe you can ask your doctor about "punctal plugs." They're tiny little plugs that are used to block off over-active tear ducts. I'm...

It looks as though everyone has the same question about these glasses, don't they?

I just answered this in another thread. A "kiku" is a Japanese flower, but "abba" doesn't seem be a Japanese word.

Maybe we're over analyzing this.

A "kiku" is a Japanese flower, apparently, and so maybe Abba Kiku means "Flower Daddy." Related to all the "flower children" of the sixties, perhaps?

Wow, those are the ones with the really bendy temples.

I remember how amazed I was that my glasses made such a difference.

Boy wouldn't it be neat to actually get a reply from someone who wears them? It would be like sending a message in a bottle and actually getting a reply.

I didn't get what you meant at first when you said "plain lenses." I thought you meant "nothing fancy." I think by "plain" you meant "no prescription", right?

One website I found says "flex temples . . . allow the frame to fit the size of any face without discomfort. " So in other words they bend a little without cracking or snapping.
You might say the...

Well, according to a Google search, Chesterfield is the only brand to offer glasses called "686 T". I guess that's something.

What do you think, Nicole? Do you think those Fresh and Precise lenses are worth a try?

That's a shame. This forum needs more pretty Italian girls.

That would seem to indicate that the come from a faraway land.

I think if you're a dude, you should stick with brown or gold frames. Maybe blue. If you're a girl, anything goes.

I find my eyes drawn to the bottom edge of the picture myself . . .

I don't wear Airlites. Does any here wear them?

On a related note, have any of you out there found a way to keep your glasses from fogging in the winter?

That's probably true for most people.

Good to know, thank you.

What's a "lifestyle lens"?

Are your contacts so bright that people have commented on them, as in "Wow, you've got incredibly blue eyes"?

I agree that comfort is subjective. I'd still like to hear from people who have tried both lenses. Not everyone is going to like the same one, but I'd be willing to bet that most people like one or...

Did your doctor tell you that you might be needed eye surgery?

I was thinking the same thing as I read the opening post. If you want contact lenses, don't use a prescription for eyeglasses. I would hope that anyone who tries it will be told that they need a...

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble, lkr120469. Unfortunately my expertise pretty much consists of saying "try a different lens," but you've already thought of that.
The good news is that this...

Hi j1asicaa. What brings you to Lens 101? Do you wear contact lenses?

I hope your head feels better now.

It almost sounds like Jimaldin dodged a bullet.

I hope southparker_321 has gotten that contact lens out by now. I'm glad you responded, luvbostonxo2's. Now if anyone else gets a contact lens that's too tight they can just come here to find out how...

What is this "vision therapy" your son is participating in?

That's true, but that doesn't mean that people don't have stories to tell.

So how does one go about finding a good contact lens fitter if they find that their current one is less than stellar?

I think you may have cracked the marketing code, Rhodes95. If one brand of lenses doesn't suit you, try another brand. There's more than one game in town.

Terrific. I hope we hear some good news from you soon.

I guess I don't understand the difference between rinsing and "after disinfection."

Sounds like the best thing about those blue boxes is that they're not red.

Those concentric bifocals look like targets.

Daily M & M's. Totally!

So when you wear those lenses do you tell people that you have Irish irises? (Rim shot.)

Meet Johnny Utah. The only guy on the Internet you can get a rim shot from. Thanks Johnny.

So what could happen if someone were to get some of these "contraband contact lenses?" Could they injure their eyes?

So I take it that it's been over a week since you last talked to your doctor about this blurry vision?

Sounds like it's not an ideal situation in you eye doctor's examination chair. Do you think he would be offended if you asked him to slow down?

Her face looks good in that picture, mayibfrank.

Now, let's get back to Scienceguy's original question: "Are there any FreshLook Radiance users that are 20 or older who want to tell their story?"

Nah, she's going for the grandma look! :D

Hey, whatever works, right?

Do you read a lot of different forums. tom jones, or do you primarily stick with Lens 101?

It sounds like good news for Argentinians. Let's dance.

So are you just about ready to try those thinner lenses?

I'll bet she does.

I was just thinking of saying that, unclebuck. You were too quick.

Here you go, ladies. A big picture of Brad Pitt in a tuxedo and bow tie. You're welcome. Just leave it to ol' Face.

What more do you need to know? Are you planning on running any more specific tests or are you just going to wear them for a little while longer?

Cool. Would you recommend those drops by name to your friends on Lens 101?

That would come in handy, Moneyfornothin.

Yeah. That's got to be it, Columbia. ;)

It sounds like you may be a little skeptical about those Biofinity Toric lenses.

Well, maybe you can put a note by your bed and lay off the sauce. ;)

I'm sorry you had such a bad time with those Focus Dailies, but you've given us some valuable suggestions about how to remove stubborn contact lenses.

In that picture on the left her lipstick is distracting me from her eyes. It's so . . . so . . . red.

How do you know so much about contact lens materials and manufacturing, goldcoaster? Is it your profession?

As long as you like being called "creepy," then who am I to argue? :D

So your doctor seems to think you've got a bit of protein buildup then?

Thank you leo125, and thanks to Richard and Judy.

So by Day 3 of wearing those RGP lenses they were so comfortable that you had to look in the mirror to make sure they were still there?

I thought tap water was unsafe for rinsing contact lenses. Acanthamoeba and all that.

Of course, in many European countries you don't have to have a prescription to buy contact lenses.
I'm not a doctor so I'm going to be on the safe side and suggest you get fitted by a doctor before...

Do you think you could get used to handling those thin Biofinity Toric lenses?

Privateyez's post didn't sound sarcastic to me, but that's not important. I'm just very surprised that you're willing to travel hundreds of miles for a pair of contacts.

If I remember correctly...

I don't know for sure, but RGP lenses fit pretty precisely, so if you want to switch to another brand, I think you need to bet fitted again.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Ah. Well, I guess it costs a lot more to avoid the speckleys.

What kind of lenses did you buy, senator91?

So will this Alcon Daily Cleaner work on calcium and protein stains?

Would your doctor be talking about a "protein buildup," creepy?

(I feel bad calling you "creepy," but that's how you introduced yourself.:))

Well, here's the deal. Any of those on line contact lens places that are trustworthy will not sell you any lenses without a prescription. So see if your eye doctor will give you a prescription for...

What if they had been on her?

That's great to know. I always like to hear about people who have found something helpful here.

I guess it was fun while it lasted. Here's hoping that those SiHy lenses are available in your prescription soon. I hope you'll still check back with us.

I can post URLs. Thanks for the directions on where to find this one:

Thank you for that day-by-day report. I hope those lenses feel better in your eyes soon.

As far as using tap water, you're right that using sterile saline is safer. Tap water is generally very...

I suppose that if you were transitioning from being nearsighted to being farsighted, in the process there would be some improvement in vision.

If you've been wearing Acuvue lenses without a problem, why are you asking about Acuvue 2? I'm just curious, and I'll answer your question anyway.

First off, I was surprised how hard it was to...

Hi liB. Welcome to Lens 101. It's nice to have you here. Your English is fine. Now let me see if I can answer your questions.

I can buy colored lenses of Solotika without number? If by "without a...

Oh, I always want to get tekky. Thanks Contact Lens Fitter.

Wow, that's saying a lot. I bet there are some people who thought it was no big deal to wear their lenses a little longer than they're supposed to, but maybe this will help them see things in a...

I found this on a site called directionsforme.org:

Steps for Proper Disinfection: In order to provide appropriate care for your lenses the following steps must be completed each time you remove...

It doesn't look to me like Scienceguy is taking offense, Shamrocker. It's nice of you to be concerned, though. One has to be very careful in a setting such as this when people can't see your facial...

I'm glad that Lens 101 has been "unbelievably helpful" to you. It makes me proud to be a part of it.

Thank you also for telling us why your doctor is so great. I think if someone is thinking of...

Thanks for saying that, luvbostonxo2's. It's rare, but there are times I read things here like "My girlfriend's brother wears his contacts for two months, so that's what I'm going to do." That's not...

That's what I thought, Spongebob. It would be difficult to see if you've got visible blood vessels growing over your corneas.

However, when the eye doctor shines that light in my eyes, I...

College may have ruined that girl's eyes, but her smile is still beautiful.

Have you sorted out your uploading options yet, redraidermommy? Your fans are awaiting your appearance.

Look, they're wearing red for you.

No, that would probably just knock it on the floor, and you wouldn't want that to happen.

Judging by the post that scarmar posted, it's either julietlilly29 or Little Elvis.

Yeah, no one can know everything, even after spending quality time on Lens 101.

You've got the hands and shoulders, Deepurple, but this is a contact lens site, not a skin lotion site.

Do US contact lens companies sell to customers in Panama, though?

That doesn't mean that they're customers wouldn't . . .

Well, I've got nothing. Can anyone else help out here. Can you cry your lenses out? I hope no one reading this has found out from personal experience, unless maybe they were tears of joy. Have you...

Agreed. That is a really nice color. It's vivid, but it still looks natural.

Amanda, you sound like a sci-fi geek. Are you? Have you ever thought about buying contact lenses that would make you look like a sci-fi character? I think I might want to try this look:

I like that suggestion too.

Yeah, I can see LeVar Burton getting all diva on us.

Just kidding, Mr, Burton. You can call off your lawyers.
