According to what I've read here and several other places, the only way you can "stretch" three month lenses to last for six months is to only wear them every other day. The problem here is defining...

I wonder if andyaycw's doctor would be willing to go along with that plan?

Isn't it cool that Coleman, makers of fine camping gear for many years, is now in the business of selling glasses?

How did you know that you needed new glasses? Did you get an actual eye test and go "Hm, I guess my vision can be better," or did you make an appointment because you were having trouble reading...

These glasses come in two colors: Dark Gunmetal or Brown. Can you guess which color this is?

These glasses are called "Kennedy" and are made by a company called "Budget." Have you ever known a Kennedy to be on a budget?

These Bratz glasses are based on the ever-popular Bratz dolls. The dolls are geared toward teenagers. Instead of feeding them and burping them, you dress up your Bratz doll with trendy clothes and...

We all have a certain shape to our faces. Some have round faces, others are more oval. Then there are those who have a broad forehead and a narrow chin, forming a triangle. What shape is your face?...

When you bought your Adensco glasses, did you bring a friend or two along with you to help you decide on a style? We're they pretty helpful, or did they just say "Those are fine, let's go."
That...

Ah, yes, the good old Bates Method. Have you read what Lens 101 members had to say about the Bates Method? You may find this thread rather long, but informative:...

Do the Biofinity lenses stay in focus for you?

Six lenses to a box. Thanks.

I'd go with the PureVision HD2 and the Clear Care.

I went to 9mmsfx and they have a lot of interesting special affects lenses, but their ordinary Natural Green lenses are $300 each! They look great, but still. Three hundred dollars for one lens?

I'm glad the people of Lens 101 could help you.

An interesting situation. The thing that comes to my mind is that children grow and change very quickly when they're about 11 years old. Perhaps your daughter is simply experiencing "growing pains." ...

The contacts look good on you, but I'm curious about something you said in your post. You said you didn't go back to your eye doctor for a refit. Does that mean you ordered those lenses with an...

Wow, 8 boxes. How many lenses to a box?

That looks like a good answer to me, jassenjj.

Hi rollo. I don't know about the others, but I can't see how anyone could recommend a prescription to you over the Internet. I also don't understand why you'd want to change your prescription if your...

Would you recommend Boston XO and/or Boston XO2 to someone with dry eyes who has never worn RGP lenses before?

Looking forward to it. :)

Thank you for that introduction, ravenj. It looks like you're going to stay with the Proclear lenses. Why don't you tell us what you like about them?

Hi curiosity. I'm loving those Mars pictures. :)

I hope you intend to post pictures.

If your left lens goes into your eye and disappears, then I think it's reasonable to expect the right one to do the same. Ask your doctor about it at your appointment. There may be a reason you will...

As far as monthly multifocal lenses, you have Proclear Multifocal, PureVision Multifocal, Soflens, Air Optix Aqua, Biofinity, Frequency 55 or Acuvue.

I found all that information on...

I watched your video and you're a very pretty lady. Too bad I don't have speakers on my computer, or I could have heard what you were saying.
The lenses looked nice, except for the large pupils....

Let us know how you like the new contacts when you get them. If they don't work, I think it's time for a new eye doctor.

I wonder if TNT really looks like a bundle of red candles?

That sounds like a good recommendation. Thanks. What was so special about Progent? Did it have a special ingredient that others didn't or something? Judging by the picture down there, it looks like...

Let us know if there's anything we can do to help, pmc524.

Score one for Columbia.

Okay so when you say "NA" you mean North America, right?

Yeah, I feel bad when we lose touch with someone. Especially when they come with an unusual question, and after they wait a while with no response, I guess the give up and move on. I usually stop by...

Yeah, over three hundred dollars for a pair of contact lenses is a lot, even for colored torics. Just out of curiosity I checked what Lens.com had. All of their vial lenses seem to have been...

Isn't the idea of sunglasses to make things darker, though?

Why, what happens after six hours?

Wow, that's too bad, mik. I don't know whether to tell you to try a different doctor or just cut your losses and wear glasses.

That guy looks like an astronaut and he's got a lot going on in that picture. It looks like everyone's trying their favorite experiments on him at once.

Air Optix Aqua contact lenses are listed on Lens.com as monthly disposable lenses. That means you wear them for six days and nights, and then you give them a good soaking to clean them up, then you...

I hope your boyfriend also respects the fact that you tell people they're as sweet as he is. ;)

As long as he's getting so much press in this thread, does your boyfriend wear contact lenses too?

That's good. We're glad you're doing better. How are things now that you're a little further along after the surgery?

That's a possibility, Timbo59. What do you think about the possibility that a refitting may be in order?

Hi supercakesniffer. (Great name.) I tried to find those pictures you mentioned, but the links didn't seem to work. I went to AClens and just searched for "Giallo" and got an error page.

Then I...

Wow, you're on call for whole week sometimes, day and night? Do you have trouble getting them in your eyes? Could you possibly sleep in them so you don't have to keep putting them in?

The woman wearing the contact lenses on that site has some severe eyelashes. :eek:

What an interesting observation, Amanda. I don't get of fly very often. I got on a plane for the first time in my life when I was in my thirties, but if I have a chance to take to the air again, I'm...

Sorry that you've got such a dark circle issue. What products have you tried? Have you done any home remedies like tea bags or anything like that?

"Duetts." Are those hybrid contact lenses? I don't recall anyone mentioning them here in this thread. How did you find out about them, jasont?

Did you find anything useful that you might want to try here, CzecheredPast?

Hey there, CzecheredPast. That's a great screen name. So I guess you're a Texas Czech, then aren't you? What kind of contact lenses do you wear now? Did you switch because of allergies? Do you feel...

That's awesome stefanobona. Are you going to add your pictures to this thread? You need to have a certain number of posts first, I think.

Hi there taniles13. Thanks for your question.

I'm hesitant to advise you on which prescription to get because I don't know anything about fitting contact lenses. My guess would be to either ask...

I think a lot of people on this site would recommend Clear Care. It seems to do a really good job of cleaning contact lenses.

As for the rinsing question that Niner asked, here's what...

Do we have anyone on the board who wears these contact lenses specifically because they're thin? Have you tried two or three other brands and wanted something thinner?

Lens 101 is a pretty good place to go when you need to know something about contact lenses. It's pretty easy to know how long to wear the lenses because they're organized by wear time--except vial...

Can you wear Vantage contact lenses if you have allergies? Do they feel okay when you wear them? Do contact lenses like these wear out faster if you have allergies?

Is there a time when these contact lenses are recommended for an adult? When I needed medical attention I used to go to a children's hospital. For various reasons, I saw doctors there and had been an...

A person who is aphakic has had the natural lenses of their eyes removed. I don't know why, but somehow I imagine that people with this distinction must need to wear very soft, comfortable contact...

We all know that not every contact lens is for everybody. Sometimes you try a new brand with high hopes, only to admit that the contact lenses just aren't for you. Have any of you had this experience...

There are probably people out there who will tell you that this or that is good for your eyesight, but don't eat it themselves. Who among you can tell me what foods make Mini contact lenses work...

The work "aphakic" means "someone lacking the natural lenses of the eyes" according to thefreedictionary.com. Is there medication that has to be taken with this condition, and can this medication...

Have you found that the comfort of your contact lenses can be affected by what you eat and drink? What are some good things to put in our bodies that help contact lenses work and feel better?

Did you start wearing SGP I lenses after you stopped wearing a different brand? What makes these better than the other brand?

Does anyone here know if smoking can affect SA 32 contact lenses? If so, in what ways are they affected?

Do you notice a buildup on your OP-10 lenses? How can you tell if it's protein or not?

I just was reading a thread that was discussing a brand of contact lenses that had been discontinued. Does anyone here know of a website that has current information about lenses that are no longer...

Cool. I'm glad you were able to get help here.

Is that right? Have you tried to order them and they told you that they were being discontinued?
I checked Lens.com, and usually when something is being discontinued they put a notice on the web...

(Snort.) Ed Grimly. That's funny.

Maybe.

That or they're just too cool to make eye contact with mere mortals like me.

Maybe they saw a guy on a CD cover with shades on and they thought it was a groovy look. :cool:

Very funny, cc(,``o. I'm sure Banditcat is too busy laughing to order a cheeseburger like in that picture above.

I hope those feet have healed by now.

I think you made the right glasses choice, cc(,``o. It sounds like the place where you got those glasses has a very patient sales staff for them to wait for you to look at the pictures.
Have you...

I read the beginning post in this thread and it sounds like you got two bad pairs of lenses in a row. If you had put on four lenses total and one of them wasn't quite right, I'd try another pair....

I think you're right, Uhura. Maybe the eye doctor in question squeaked through fitting part of the exam.

By that I mean he or she barely passed. I'm not talking about making noises during the...

Great, that's good to know. In one of your previous posts you sounded a bit unsure of the 1 Day Acuvue Moist lenses. It's a good thing you gave them a try anyway.

What about the others you talked...

Yeah, I hate it when that happens.

You mean you'll post a picture? Great! I'm looking forward to seeing your smiling face.

That's a neat picture. In black in white it looks like one of those ancient educational films we used to watch on school.

So you're saying they look nice, but they don't feel so great in your eyes. Is that correct?

I've never worn vial lenses either, so I did a Google search, but I couldn't find anything that mentioned "Lens-Eze" and "vial" on the same website--except this one, of course.

Acuvue-now.com says the same thing. No inversion mark on Air Optix Aqua. They are probably sister sites.

Perhaps he was on his way to the computer but stopped short . . .

I kid, `cause I love!

How's that contact lens handling thing going, Shoowan? Has the practice session that was supervised by your optometrist paid off?

Sure, just go to the post that you like and click on that "Quote" button on the bottom right. That's how I got your comment to show up in my post, see it?

Great screen name, AlwaysSmile. Welcome to Lens 101.

So tel me; what looks nice on whom? Do you know how to quote other posts?

The important thing is--how did her eyes look?

Yeah, she can play a new character. "Sarah Palin With Contacts."

I saw six brown eyes on that page and one brown eye with some blue along the edge. Is that one of the "green" lenses you mentioned earlier?
I like to look at lenses and see how natural they look,...

That doesn't sound right. If you have to be told how to insert contacts, then you probably should look away.

I think yournamehere is right. Have you done anything to get your money back since we heard from you last?

I hope they work better than handling arcade tokens with tweezers. ;)

I would think that a vial lens would be too flimsy to handle with a tool like that.

What's that little spinning machine called?

I saw the same half of a posting in another thread.

What? Did you say something about a contact lens tool? There's one called a "Lense Eze." Is that what you're posting about?

Hi olives. What kind of lenses did you try and didn't finish?

Oh, you poor thing. :)

Akilinc doesn't look so bad either.

Hi KatKatKat. It looks like this is your first post here on Lens 101. Allow me to have the honor of welcoming you here. I think you're going to like it.

Thank you for a really helpful post. It...
