Yeah, kinda sorta. Thanks, JT.

Thanks for taking the time to read my question and answer it properly. :)

Aren't complements what you wanted, though? Why be self-conscious?

Yeah, me too. I didn't realized that I'd be waiting for over four years when I posted that question.

OK. Thanks.

Nothing huh? Well, allow me to start the thread by answering my own question. "Aquify Multi-Purpose Solution is a quick and highly effective way to clean and disinfect your contact lenses. And it...

Aren't you being just a little overly dramatic? Are you really telling us that rinsing contact lenses with filtered water will cause blindness? Maybe rinsing contacts will filtered water isn't the...

No, not me. That's not very helpful, I know, but at least your post is now a thread.

I've gone in for eye exams a few times and was told that my prescription hasn't changed and that I could continue to wear the glasses I went in with. Have any of you kept the same Ralph Lauren...

Sometimes you get a new pair of glasses and you can tell right away they're not right. So you return them from the store or the doctor's office where you got them and hopefully they'll get fixes. So...

With a name like "Prada," these glasses have certain expectations attached to them. You would think that pricey glasses like these would be different from the old, run-of-the-mill glasses out there....

The only thing I see here in this section for Panda eyeglasses is a couple of posts in 2009. No one has written anything about Panda glasses in three years??

Do you have an old pair of Oxydo glasses that you don't wear any more? Have you thought about donate them to charity, or do you hold on to them as a backup pair?

Have you ever ordered parts for your glasses? Did you have to order them by mail, or were you able to go and pick up the parts yourself?

The word "nomad" refers to a person who has no permanent address, and moves from place to place all the time. Do you travel a lot in your Nomad glasses?

I think a lot of people put off going to see the eye doctor because of the expense. That's why some glasses places offer a free exam if you buy your glasses from them. Did any of you get your Nodoka...

If you want to know what people think of the Bates Method, there are several posts on Lens 101 about it, and not many of them are flattering--unless someone stands to make a profit, of course.

Well, good. I'm glad that Clear Care turned out to be a good substitute for the AOSEPT system. May your days be seen through sparkling clear contact lenses.

Sorry to read that the procedure was so painful for you. It's good that your vision has improved. Just imagine how good things will be once your eyes stop hurting! :)

So how has your search for a new brand of contact lenses been going? Have you found a likely candidate? Is there anything else we can do for you?

Hey, that's what I do all day. :D

Ah, yes, the great British understatement. Remember when John Cleese said "I apologize unreservedly"?

I don't know you or your daughter, but if she keep breaking glasses, is she going to be okay in contact lenses? I'm not even confident of my own ability to properly handle contact lenses without...

Very cool. I hope you will be able to find something useful for your daughter. How does she feel about wearing contact lenses? You said she was three years old, right?

Wow, we've got a Lens 101 member in Austria? How cool is that? Here I am just starting my day and you're just about done. That's really mind boggling.

Oh, and rogue81--if you hadn't guessed, good...

Wait a second, did you leave out a decimal point or is your prescription really two hundred?

Live and learn I guess. It's a good thing you learned from the experience.

That could be, Rhonda.

That or some people would rather disinfect a pair of contact lenses and put them back in than just wear a pair once and then throw them away.

I don't suppose it really matters, does it? I mean, if they're both the same . . .

Yeah, I suppose it says that on the box somewhere.

That sounds to me like they were hard to get out. How did you do it?

That's a good point, packman.

It's a beautiful thing, Lucyfur.

Of course, it's not enough to just clean your lenses, If you've ever had an eye infection, then you know how painful they can be. So what do you use to disinfect your OP-10 contact lenses?

The Internet is filled with warnings against cleaning your contact lenses with water because you might pick up an infection from some kind of microorganisms in the water. What if you had a filter...

Thank you Mackie. Now when you wear your driving glasses you can sing "Go Speed Racer go!" to your self.

What does "extended wear" mean?

I suppose it's too complicated for a "101" site to explain exactly what "bicurve" and "tricurve" mean?

Okay, I was wondering about that, too. Thanks sludlow.

It wasn't usually that colorful when I watched it.

We have a winner! Congratulations, Superschwin.

RedeyeJedi is asking you. Do you know anything about ClearSight 1 Day?

That's a great bulleted list, Anetra. Very neat, thanks. :)

Okay, see, but the question is about people who need help making up their mind. It's up to you to sell those Proclear 1 Day contacts.

Why are you asking about the flu? Do you have a question about Biomedics 1 Day contact lenses or not?

Hi Sarah001. Welcome to Lens 101. I wonder if you can give us some more information. How did you determine which lens is the safest and the "best deal"?

What did you tell them to do when they got stuck? Did you find a way that was pretty effective in getting those Synergeyes lenses out?

Thanks for asking for pictures, Tradecade. (Wolf whistle.)

Cool. Why did you choose 1-Day Acuvue TruEye in particular? Thecure would like to know and so would I.

So have you made up your mind, nancy424? Platinum or Sultry Gray?

No, the mid add does not mean that you won't have distance vision. According to lensshopper.com "add" is "a prescription added for reading or close-up seeing for those with bifocal [or in your case,...

What a sweet thing to say, Curlupndye. I hope cattt thinks so , too.

Sorry. I must have missed that in the thread above. That's all I've got. Hopefully someone will be along soon to give you a better suggestion.

Wow, that's too bad KelsieJH. I wish I could recommend something, but it sounds to me like it's Durasoft 3 Optifit Toric or nothing for you. Lens.com recommends FreshLook ColorBlends Toric, but...

Thank you for the step-by step instructions in a bold font so I can find them when I'm scanning the thread.

Woah! Simultaneous posts! I don't think that's ever happened to me before.

Thanks for the good report. Monovision saves the day once again.

Make that about eight months, now.

Wow. I wonder why so many are being discontinued? Maybe people should steer away from the vial lenses.

Hi Patresh. Thanks for including the name of your contact lenses. Now we can finally explain your prescription to you. Thanks to the others that helped get to this point.

Okay, here we go. "BC"...

Thank you for that introduction, Ryan. So are your Oasys lenses clear and comfortable as long as you don't get an eyelash in there?

I'm glad that someone here on Lens 101 was actually able to help someone. That's happening more and more these days, but it's still exciting.

Okay, you said that you have astigmatism, but the...

Welcome back catt(t). It's good to hear from you again. We've missed you. Now that you have a new identity, please keep posting until you have enough posts to put up pictures. I miss seeing your...

Hi cattt. Here's hoping that things work out for you medically. I have found that it's a waste of energy to worry about what might happen. At this point you've got an "ugly dark brown growth on the...

Hi Bunnyfer. I'm so glad that the good people at Lens 101 was able to help you with your contact lens needs. Enjoy the view with those Purevision lenses.

Hi trinitygrace.

I checked Lens.com and Illusions have indeed been discontinued, which surprised me. They offered this helpful advice: "CIBA VISION has discontinued the sale of Illusions contact...

Every time I see a product with the number 3 or higher after the name, I always want to know what happened to the previous versions. What was wrong with Hydrocurve and Hydrocurve 2 Torics?

Do any of you wear contact lenses such as these at work because glasses would get in your way? What kind of work do you do? Did you make the switch from glasses to contacts recently and can tell us...

Do we have anyone here who wears Durasoft 3 Optifit Toric UV and works on stage in front of an audience? In an environment like that glasses may not suit the character you're playing, and so you rely...

Hi Shoonie. Look at the posts for today. I was just telling someone else about the diameter of FreshLook ColorBlends. They have a diameter of 14.5 millimeters.
They way I see it, you have two...

I don't know. Do I understand correctly that you've never worn contact lenses before? I think the best way to find the right sized contacts is to get measured by an eye doctor. If you have worn...

Those pictures of Jellymelly14 in the other thread that Hottchick mentioned look pretty good close up. I don't think they look fake, anyway.

Looking at the pictures there, the two blue lenses...

You do look like you're kind of squinting in that last picture with the two different color contacts. Maybe that's why the colors are hard to see there.

I guess the silly faces should have been a clue, but there are some people on this site that have an unnatural fear of posting pictures. Some have pretty much said the same thing you did, only they...

Seven weeks? Wow, that's an awfully long time to wait for your contact lenses. How long can you wear them? I hope it's at least seven weeks.

How are your eyes feeling these days, Mr. Marcel?

Good, I'm glad you got it sorted out. I hope the things you read here on Lens 101 were helpful to you and you didn't just figure it out despite them.

Yeah, it sure doesn't look like a model in front of a painting.

Would you be willing to use all those letters they gave you to answer some of the questions here on the forum?

Thank you for the product recommendation, Smanzi333. The picture of the box really helps, too.

Yeah, it's been about three months and counting since we've heard from the Italyman.

Were you able to find some Natural Touch contact lenses somewhere?

Yes, and Marge Simpson is a good example of a cool Mom on TV.

Bus driver Otto once said "Dude, your Mom is hot."

So that makes her cool and hot.

I'm so glad Lens 101 has been helpful to you. Don't forget to tell all your friends about us.

Thanks for the explanation, mtmtngoat. Lens 101 can use a person like you with a bunch of letters after their name. Dig in. :) Have you see the eyeglasses section here? It seems like it's badly...

I heard the same thing, but I'd be wary of buying contact lenses from an individual if I were you. I'm not saying that someone will try to sell you deliberately poisoned contact lenses so they can...

That's probably true, contact lenses. I'm not an eye doctor, so I can't say for sure, but your explanation makes sense.

Greetings, my Norwegian friend.

I looked these up on Lens.com and found them here: http://www.lens.com/contact-lenses/lens551.asp

They are available in -8.50 power, cylinder of -1.25 and an...

Is that another picture of your lovely self, katkarma? Something's not right . . .

Yes, they do, but the ColorBlends are more expensive than the ones you can get at Lens.com. For the price of one pair of ColorBlends from coloredcontacts, you can get a whole box at Lens.com. Like...

I'm not nidzrulz4eva, but I know what you mean, Curlupndye. :(

I wonder why you couldn't access Lens.com? Just click on the big red rectangle up there at the top of this page that says "Lens.com" and then enter "aspheric" in the box that says "search" at the...

I went to that site, contact lenses, and there's some neat information and offers, but they're a bit pricey. I saw a price quoted as $29.95 per pair of FreshLook ColorBlends. On Lens.com you can buy...

Oh yeah? Here's a picture of a brown-eyed girl wearing one FreshLook ColorBlends Sterling Grey contact lens.

Hi jarodia. Welcome. Why don't you start a new thread and tell us about yourself? What kind of lenses do you wear? Do you like sunglasses?

Wow. It sure took a long time for those members of Lens 101 to figure out what kind of contact lenses you didn't like! I'm glad it all worked out, though.

Whew. Like Petra, I was worried that your experience on Lens 101 was not fulfilling for you. (We're still talking about a website, right?)

I've seen your picture in other threads in this forum...

I thought that gas perm lenses were custom made also.

Oh, and if you're shy about calling people on the phone, you can reach Lens.com via email at Service@Lens.com.

Is it common practice for eye doctors to give their patients free spare soft lenses?

That's interesting because here in the United States, even plano lenses require a prescription. Planos may not correct your vision, but as you said, an eye doctor needs to be there to make sure the...
