That's a very well-written review. I like a review with bullet points. :)

Where did you get this information? You sound very well-informed.

I'm sure alcohol won't do your contacts any good.

No one has hear from 512erika since post #1 of this thread since last January. About a week from now it will be one year.

Thank you for sharing, FirstDown.

Time for my dose.

*Gulp*

Hello. Shall we dance?

Thanks for the updated lists. I hope that you don't mind my obsessive placing of capitals in the quotation above. :p

It was about a year and a half between jrmymllr first two posts, so we may need to wait a while longer.

You sound like a happy camper. :)

Oh, you mean post #9 featuring sproutjps' daughter by the pool?

So you wear two lenses of the same brand, just a very different prescription in each eye?

Another contact lens professional. Welcome. Why don't you look around this site and see if there are any posts that you can answer or at least comment on?

Boy, that sounds really annoying.

Those are all good reasons to use peroxide solutions. Thanks for the information.

So you're going to try the Acuvue 2 Colours - Enhancers in Blue then? That's good. I'm glad Jawsome was able to help you. I look forward to seeing your pictures, Driver.

Thanks for making me look that up, DejaVu. Here's what I found on a website out of Ohio State University:

Almost one in 13 soft contact lens wearers in a recent study had abrasions on their...

That's an interesting site there, Timbo59. Part of it goes "Most people, in fact, do not have ideal blinking habits for contact lens wear but with a little effort and practice you should be able to...

I don't think anything magical happens on a certain birthday. No one is going to say "you will develop presbyopia when you're 43." Each person is different. Some people never develop presbyopia.

I hope that fitting goes well. I just want to remind all of my friends on Lens 101 that 99% of the time your contact lens prescription is totally different than your glasses prescription. If all you...

I know just what you mean, Goliath2001.

Where have you been? What kind of contact lenses do you wear now?

Doesn't matter. Dudes, chicks, we like to see pictures of our members.

I hope no one is too disappointed that the picture isn't of you, fletch78.

Hi Jehf. That was fast.

I understand your reluctance to get your hopes up for some new contact lenses. Will your eye doctor give you a free sample?

I've heard good things about Unisol, but the Blairex spray is something new.

What kind of contacts are you wearing these days? Is there a section for them here?

Let us know how that appointment goes.

I'm glad you like the forum. How did you find it?

What about that group of seven pictures up there? What kind are those?

What about the daily disposable contact lenses that Nursenacy recommended? You seemed to like the idea before.

Did you ask your eye doctor for a copy of your SA 32 prescription? Did you know that if you ash for it they are required to give it to you? It's called the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act. It...

When you got your Paraperm 02 contact lenses, did you ask your eye doctor for a copy of your prescription? If so, did he or she give it to you without any fuss?

Some have said that you have to wear these SGP contact lenses every day or they'll never be comfortable. Can anyone comment on that?

I don't see it now as often as I used to, but there have been some posts on this site where people didn't think you needed to be as careful with your contacts as they doctor tells you to be. Maybe...

Are you still paying for a previous mistake with your contact lenses? Did you wear them too long in the past and now there's permanent damage? Is the way you wear lenses today affected by how you've...

How is it to keep these lenses in good shape? Are they easy to keep clean? If they do happen to get a little dirty, do they clean up well? If you happen to leave them in their solution for a week or...

If you have chronically dry eyes, will wearing SGP II lenses help? If they won't make your dry eyes better, can we at least say they won't make it worse?

If you've got allergies, then you know how hard it can be to wear contact lenses. However, these Paragon Thin lenses might be just the ticket. Do we have any testimonies from people who have...

When you were fitted by your eye doctor for Boston XO2 contact lenses, was it a simple procedure that was quick and painless or did you have a bit of difficulty. Why don't you tell us about your...

It's one thing to wear Fluoroperm 92 contact lenses because you like them and they're fairly comfortable. It's another thing to like them so much that you tell your friends and neighbors to try them...

As I understand it, gas perm lenses such as Fluorex 500 are custom made according to your exact measurements. Is that something that's important to you as a contact lens wearer?

Do you wear Fluorex 300 contact lenses because they're custom made and you have an unusual prescription? Tell us your story.

Why, did it hurt to "pull the lens off of your eye"?

There are a lot of brands I've heard of for a long time, like Bausch & Lomb, but "Flosi" is new to me. I'm not even sure how to pronounce it. I think it rhymes with "saucy." Does anyone know how long...

That sounds like quite a surgical adventure there, Leslie. Was there any kind of bruising or anything afterward? I'm looking forward to seeing the new you. When will you be able to post pictures?

That's a very cute picture up there. Thank you for finding it and posting it Railfan.

Leslie, I wish you well in your recovery from surgery. Are you going to post a picture of your Asian self on...

So what's new gregnb. Have you test driven the Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism yet? If so, what are your thoughts?

Sure, I take a fish oil capsule and I'm magically transported to a beach where I dance with a pretty blonde lady.
I take six or seven a day. :p

It's like slipping off your shoes in a way, isn't it?

Good work lisaeckman27. Now everyone can see how pretty you look with your contact lenses in. :)

Very funny Peri. It's been almost a month so far.

So with RGP lenses you need the regular lens cleaner plus an enzyme cleaner but with PMMA you just need the lens cleaner, right?

Hi rslover. Thanks for your input. It may be from a post from "so loooong ago" but it's till useful. I hope you will tell us more about yourself and your FreshLook contact lenses. Did they feel...

Hi SoniaF. I just came from that posting you've given a link to and I like the picture you posted up there. The grey lenses look pretty good on you.

I bet a lot of people who have had LASIK wish they had done it sooner.

Hello bandana.

What would you like to know about contact lenses? Are you interested in changing your eye color?

I found this picture on line. You can tell that the person wearing them has brown eyes, because you can see it through the pupil openings, but it's not too bad. What do you think?

Okay, now that I've torn my eyes from that picture of that Zumba instructor, I can ask if you, dear reader of Lens 101, tend to carry spare contacts or spare glasses? If something happens to your...

That's all you can do, I guess. Carry on.

Yup, spooky candy vending machine all right.

That thread also features a picture of Benny Hill in drag.

Imagine that.

We still can't see the pictures Babi. :(

What does WM mean? Is that Wal-Mart?

I'm afraid I don't have much to say that would be helpful to Kryssa, but I like your mention of the "Big Four" contact lens manufacturers. It's good information to have on hand in case you need it...

Did you get your issues with your Boston XO lenses sorted out?

Why don't you just post the picture right here in the forum? I don't want to leave in case I get lost. :(
I saw that picture you referenced. Why aren't you smiling?

I hope you can get this disappearing dot thing sorted out, ridlas.

Can you get bifocal lenses with a prescription for nearsighted eyes at the top and no prescription on the bottom for people like Orionebula who need no correction to read? Could an arrangement like...

That's a good principle to know, Knotlob. Thank you.

We're still waiting from a report from bodyrock89.

Don't give up on color contacts just yet, colortime. Maybe you just need a different brand.

I agree with Knotlob that you should talk to your eye care professional about your concerns, because you can't change to a 9.6 lens without a prescription anyway, and there may be a better solution...

Knotlob, your views on wearing contact lenses overnight seem very conservative. I'm the same way when it comes to seat belts. When you get in your car and drive any distance at all, I believe you...

Did you say something about a plasma core?

I had a hard time reading the post as well. Hopefully jimmy's devoted will return to clarify.

Sorry to read about your night vision issues, Danielm. What happens at night? Is everything very dim, or maybe you can see the edges of your contacts when your pupils get bigger. That's because of...

"Take me to your--" You're so silly, LeeRoberts.

Ah, yes. Good old hydroxyethylmethacrylate. I can see why it's called HEMA.

Like on M*A*S*H when a Hawkeye said something to a reporter about an "EEG."
"What does EEG stand for?" asked the...

I suppose that's a question for the people who set up this website, and seeing that this post has been here for about six months at this point, they've probably seen it by now. As to whether they're...

Too bad it's a corporation. I think the name "Pilkington B. Hind" is pretty funny. Even funnier that some names I found on line like Ann Drogeny and Ho Hum.

Knotlob said that a someone who had pulled that scam was a truck driver, so a person might be tempted to cheat on an eye exam if it means they can keep their job, although I don't see why this truck...

That's a good question, DebiK. Too bad no one seems to be answering it yet.

They're both made by Bausch & Lomb, aren't they? Maybe they just didn't want their products to overlap. What do you think?

Where did you see that vending machine picture, Little E?

What colors do these contacts come in? That picture doesn't name them.

The site I found has three kinds of Airlock sunglasses and six kinds of Airlock Clip On Sunglasses. Maybe Aaroncablemom didn't see the clip on sunglasses, or didn't count them.

That fellow with the flashlight appears to be looking for a contact lens up his nose with that flashlight.

There is a lot of information about Clear Care on Lens 101. It sounds like pretty good stuff. Do a search in this forum to see what you can find out.

You can also go to their website:...

It may be that Lens 101 has become a means of spreading an urban legend.

See, I told you. We should play a game: "Stump Knotlob."

We love ya, knotlob. Alles Gute!

From what I understand you fill out the information about the contact lenses you want, such as base curve, diameter, and in the case of contacts like Natural Touch Opaque, color. You do this for each...

Welcome aboard, AyeAye. That sounds nautical to me.

Or possibly biological.

It's a aye-aye....

You're right, Vita_man. If your eye doctor is trying to "scam" you by telling you to change your contacts more often, it will cost more money to replace contacts more often, but it probably won't...

I've heard stories about people memorizing the eye chart to pass their exam, but I don't know anyone personally who has done that. Do you? (You don't have to mention any names. :p)

Yeah, two of the three pictures you posted are kind of dark and it's hard to see your eyes.

I'm glad somebody said it!

Thanks, Rush.

Hi Melisssa. Welcome to Lens 101. It's always exciting to welcome new members and that seems to be happening more and more these days.

I'm sorry that you're having problems with your contacts. I'm...

Hi Doctor G. Welcome to Lens 101.

I don't see how you can "horn in." To me that means to interrupt a conversation. In a forum such as this, these are not private conversations, so anyone is...

No kidding? So even if I don't wear contacts at all, my eyes still lack oxygen when I sleep?

"You said you need to 'get your camera'. Do you mean 'get it from where I put it' or 'order it and have it shipped to me'? "



I guess that means you put it in your friend's hands. :)

I love that wedding picture, don't you? My favorite part is the bride in the center, peeking over the top of her shades. I wonder if that was the bride's idea or the photographer's?

Look at the...

That's true, but couldn't there be a case where you don't notice the blurred vision until you get outside into the bright sunshine? You'd probably noticed the blurriness before that, but what if you...
