I'm glad I logged in--those glasses look pretty cool.

You sound like that old lady in the commercial. "Where's the clip?"

Yeah, I get it. How can I blaze my own trail and follow you. Very funny.

Do you think that maybe "Eagle" isn't the best name for eyeglasses? Maybe it's just me.

Great name for eyeglasses, but do you see anyone in the cast wearing them?

How many of you have ordered DY Diary sunglasses through the mail? Did they arrive quickly and iin good condition?

I saw some DKNY glasses and wondered if "DKNY" and "Donna Karan" are the some company, and if someone asks for DKNY DY4622 glasses, would I be able to search for "Donna Karan DY4622" and find the...

I found these silver glasses, but no gold. You'd think anything associated with Donald Trump would be gold, wouldn't you? Here are the silver ones:

"ADD = the amount of power that gets added to the distance prescription (this creates your reading-only prescription)."

So yes, the "add" is for a little extra help with reading.

I don't think your reason for choosing those glasses is vain. You make a good point about having to wear glasses every day.

Yeah, cats are good for that.

You can say "boob" and so can I.

I take my glasses off to read, yes, and put them back on in time to watch "America's Funniest Home Videos."

We'd better get to work.

I've never had trouble asking for my prescription.

Would you wear those glasses, Fantasy Eyeland?

I agree, even though I can only see half of her face.

That's handy.

I don't think those are contacts, either.

I don't wear safely equipment at work, but if I did, I'd probably wear something like that.

I think ordinary glass lenses will resist most impacts, won't they?

I have an eyeglasses store just down the street from my office. I get my eyes examined and then pick up my glasses an hour or so later. If you're impatient like me you'd probably be happier doing...

Hopefully it will just get better from here.

The "strength" of your prescription is the "sphere." You said that the sphere for your right eye is + 0.50 and your left is +1.0.

Your warning got my attention, and so I thought I'd see what I could find, but there wasn't anything. Where can I find out more about the reaction between different brands of solution?

I think I've read about that foamy reaction on some other posts in Lens 101.

It looks like you've got 11 posts already. You'll have the required 15 in no time. If I'm not mistaken, the 15 post rule is to slow down the spammers. It seems to be working. I don't see as many...

Thank you for your report. I think that's the best thing about Lens 101. Ordinary regular people telling of their personal experience with contact lenses. Nice work. I'm glad those Soflens contacts...

Oh great. Now I've got "Yakety Sax" playing in my head and I see people running around at double speed.

(Pats Bondjamesbond on the back.) Keep on posting, my friend. Just keep it up.

Well, apparently none of them have found this thread . . . :(

That sounds pretty simple. Just one container and no other products to buy.

They're not only expensive, but they're little bitty too.

That's certainly true. As your illustration shows, sometimes the limbal ring does not go all the way to the edge of the lens.

It sounds like Wheatgrass has never heard of that law applying anywhere.

I found a YouTube video of the Tyra Banks Show talking about this procedure. Not exactly 60 Minutes but it's something. I'd like some of my friends on Lens 101 to look at this video and tell me what...

How do you like them so far?

Even if they're more expensive, if you don't wear them every day they'll last longer.

You can always count on a Wookiee to have your back.

You bring up a few good points, Shamrocker. I agree with you about the pupil hole in colored lenses. I've read a few posts on Lens 101 about pupil holes that are too small and that can be a problem. ...

Thank you for that very thorough introduction, Purplerain. Maybe now that you're a member you look around and see if there are any questions on this forum that you can answer.

Okay, for those of you who are reading the forum with a big question mark over you head, I'll let you off the hook and take the opportunity to look clever.

A "butterface" is a woman who can be...

Boy, you wear them for almost two weeks and you have a setback. That's too bad. I'm glad you were able to recover the fumble, tames. Would you say that you've gone on to score with those contacts?

You've got a heart as big as Ireland, Shamrocker. :)

It looks like those lenses have been discontinued. So are you already substituting Accents for Natural Touch? Are you looking for a backup brand for your backup brand now?

Yup. 10 years is a long time to be fitting contact lenses. I would imagine that you get to see just about everything in that amount of time. I've heard that it's one thing to do something right when...

Unfortunately, your reaction is not unusual, kellyboo. However, when I tried to find anything that explained why these lenses are being discontinued, I couldn't find anything. I even when to the...

It's Thursday now. What's up atay227?

What's the latest, js3? Have you switched contact lens brands?

Is that right? So it would be like, your Mom doesn't let you eat candy, but my Mom let me eat candy so if I give you some of my candy, it's okay?

In the same way, should a company that's based in...

I think I'd rather buy contact lenses from a US company that asks for a prescription. It's not that hard to get one of those, right?

That's probably a good thing. Imagine this scenario:

"What's wrong, sylvia? Why are you crying?"

*Sniff.* "I heard a sad song on the radio and started crying and then my contacts fell out!...

Yeah, no kidding. It's nice to have someone actually respond to me sometimes--but enough about my love life . . .

No reply from sweet_r yet, huh? Maybe they're still uploading pictures to that website.

Yeah, tell that to your optometrist when he or she refuses to give you your prescription so you can find some more comfortable lenses somewhere else.

Did you notice that all of those lenses tended to drift downward and away from the nose? I wonder why they all did that?

Yeah, ominous black sand . . .

Yeah well, you know those academic types . . . .

I did quite a bit of searching, but I finally decided to go to the Bausch and Lomb website. There it said "Boston XO is a tough, stable, high Dk material that can be made into a wide variety of...

You will need toric lenses for astigmatism in both eyes. I can tell because there are cylinder and axis measurements for both eyes in the prescription. If there was no astigmatism, then your...

From what I've learned here on the forum. the person who told you that a measurement for one brand cannot be guaranteed with another one is correct. That's why if you want to switch brands you need...

Wow, those Perla lenses look completely different in different light. I think if you were to wear those you should probably try and keep the paparazzi away because they look too unnatural in the...

Probably not, unless your eye doctor examines you and tells you that your eyes are healthy enough for that kind of wear schedule.

Wow, I wouldn't mind playing a round with her. ;)

Wait . . . I mean a round of golf, you know . . ....

It very well may be a "girl thing." I heard a joke about how a woman is horrified if she goes to a party and finds another women dressed like her.
If a man sees another man dressed like him, he...

Wow, that sounds great fesar. Can you buy those lenses on line? Are the available in the United States?

Of course, those of us who have watched Saturday Night Live in the last twenty years or so know that "It is better to look good than to feel good."

Oh. I wasn't sure what that meant either. So how long does it take for your corneas to return to "normal"?

That's good. I wouldn't mind if you did, just as long as you didn't try to take business away from Lens.com. Some people aren't as laid back as I am, though. They get very bent out of shape if they...

Some contact lenses can be safely slept in, but always follow your doctor's advice. He or she has seen your eyes and knows them better than anyone on Lens 101 could.

Enjoy your contact lenses and...

If the rest of your face is as pretty as your eyes, you should look great no matter what color you choose. Acuvue 2 Colours - Opaques come in prescriptions ranging from -9 to +6. If you want blue...

Have you experienced a problem with your Optimum Comfort contact lenses slipping off your eyes. I don't mean they fall out on the floor, they just slip out of place and you have to move them back....

Those vials that contact lenses come in what look like vials of medicine that are to be injected. Are they the same vials? Do the contact lens vials have that rubber part in the lid that are intended...

Does the little bottles that your Fluoroperm 92 contacts come in have individual labels on them? When I try to find a picture of them on line, all I get are just pictures of plain bottles and in most...

When you first start wearing an RGP lens like Fluorex 500 here, they're probably not very comfortable. Then as you wear them again and again, they get more and more comfortable. Do we have any users...

RGP lenses such as Fluorex 300 are a bit smaller in diameter than your typical soft contact lenses. Does the smaller size make it harder to put them in your eyes? I bet they're more difficult to find...

What is the difference between a "front" toric contact lens and a "back" toric lens? Th reason I ask is because on the Lens.com website the page with the Boston XO2 lenses says "In some cases...

I put a question mark at the end of that title so you wouldn't think I was making an announcement.

Anyway, since Boston RXD lenses are custom made and all, have you ever gotten a notice that your...

I tried Lens.com, but they don't have FreshLook Radiance either. I guess the only way that really helps is to let people know that there's no need to look there.

I think I saw that "dusty old movie".

About a dozen times. :)

Yeah, that's another reason you might have a problem at the movies with your contacts. I thought the circulating air might be a problem, but you're right too. The dim lighting might make things...

You say that he ordered them. You may have a case if you never actually gave him instructions to order the lenses for you. If he said "I'm going to get you those lenses" and you said "okay" then...

Hi buddhi. Welcome to Lens 101.

Hi lolasharee. Who are you asking? Was it Tigger who says that his or her sister lost a contact lens in the corner of her eye?

You mean this prescription, right?

I found a website that had a table on if for CooperVision Frequency 55 Multifocal lenses. For "power" it said "+4.00 to -6.00 D in 0.25 D steps." I think that...

I did a search for "bi-toric contact lenses" and bitoric contact lenses" and I didn't find anything that clearly identified the lens as bi-toric. This is the best I could come up with on such short...

Instead of telling you to wear your two week lenses for a month, don't you think the eye doc would prescribe monthly lenses?

Wow. Look how white that girl's teeth are. "Let's do that again!"

I'd like to see a closeup of her eyes under all that mud.

Whatever floats your boat and rocks your socks, Columbia.

Do you do anything special to help you see at night, knotlob?

Right. I got it. Is that the contact lens factory pictured there, dontblink?

Wowee. That's what I call custom made contacts!

So even though you had two lenses in each eye, you were still able to tolderate them all day, huh? You've got some tough eyes, my friend. Have you ever worn rigid gas perm lenses, by any chance?

How about telling me what's different about those two pairs of sunglasses that have different model numbers but appear to be identical?

Now here we are a few days before Christmas. We may have to wait until after the holidays to hear from Jona again.

Thanks for the link, Lee. At least I don't have to know what a "Bowman's layer" is.

So even though they're "MUCH dryer than Focus Night and Day" you still consider them "good" lenses, huh? You're very generous.

Does anyone know of a good contact lens cleaner that removes lipids?

Yeah, I think you might have something there, Metsman.

Did you read the two posts just above yours? The ones that say how there's more to changing from glasses to contact lenses to just converting the numbers in the prescription? Bottom line is if you...

Yeah, I wonder how many people could tell me what color Christina Applegate's eye are? I'd probably have to ask if they know what color eyes Kelly Bundy has. I couldn't tell you because I never...
