Yeah, that does sound kind of goofy, doesn't it? I guess Columbia didn't read it carefully enough before posting it. It happens. I'm glad you caught it, Shamrocker.

Hi Frustrated. As far as I know, multifocal lenses are your best option. Sometimes contact lenses can only do so much.

On the other hand, I'm not an eye doctor so I can only do so much. Maybe...

That's a very good point, kbosem0600. I'm glad you mentioned it.

Yeah, but what about the glasses?

I agree with Rejor and the person who said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" in another thread. Your lenses may not be intended for astigmatism, but if your doctor gave them to you and you can see...

Hey Jesterhester. Bears fan are we? Good lad.

I went to the site that ipadtwb suggested (Despite that "tighty whities" thing.) and it shows the product in it's package and it looks to me like Dr....

I'm glad I could help, sorta.

That Babel Fish translator can be so . . . literal.

My Mamma always said I was a bright boy.:)

Personally I would rather rely on colored contact lenses to change the color of my eyes.

It's too bad you couldn't accompany this with an illustration unless you drew it yourself or maybe stuffed a soup can in a snowball and then took a picture and posted it here.

It's been almost a year, 512erika. What's happening?

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

You're probably right. Foxyboxer. Let's say it again. "Libation."

I've never heard of contact lenses from Holland. Do they have a lot of different brands to choose from?

Sure, that's a word I use in conversation every day.

I'm not sure where Spongebob got that picture. I did a search for it myself, but the only think I found was when Google found that picture right here in this thread. Maybe someone took it down. I can...

You would have to give them your doctor's phone number if you want to order them, so when they call your doctor to confirm your prescription, hopefully he or she will approve the 10 axis.

Geek out! Here's a picture of one of the good old liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen rockets of the space shuttle in a test firing. No hydrogen peroxide there.

Your question makes me wonder what your eye doctor has to say. Do you have a prescription for contact lenses? When you said you "bought a supply of the cheapest lenses [you] could find" it led to to...

So your prescription says you need a base curve of 9 and a diameter of 15.5, and these Neo Dali lenses have a base curve of 8.6 only and a diameter of 14.2? Sorry, but those probably won't work. If...

Hi tom jones. Welcome to Lens 101. Allow me to quote from Lens.com for the answer to your questions:

"Boston XO 2 are gas Permeable contact lenses produced by Polymer Technology. Boston XO 2...

Thank you for the update, sylvia. :)

Cool. Do you have any pictures that you've taken personally of the Pyramids? Anyone can just copy and paste. Even I can do that.

That or they wanted to look the opposite of scary.

That's what I always though. As soon as the light rays touch the outer surface of the lens they are deflected, right?

Good; a happy ending. What precautions are you going to take to make sure that doesn't happen again?

Your barrel case seems to have gone missing, don't blink. I couldn't find it, so I hope you don't mind if I post a picture of my own.

Either that or a fit . . .

Sorry. I forgot what forum I was on. :o

I'll go now.

What's the latest, kph15? Have you found something you like?

Hey, I'd make a pass at that girl with glass . . . es.

Yeah, you'd need quite a pair of contact lenses with that kind of prescription.

I wonder if someone had to sit down with them and start naming colors? "My shirt is blue, and yours is red, and this orange is um, orange.

I suppose, although the word "logic" may not apply in this case.

Why do women look so sexy when they're putting on lipstick?

Then you can play the Carpool Game. "Good guy, bad guy. Good guy, bad guy."

You're a nerd, I can tell. :p

So what else has bones besides mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians?

Rot . . . ? Oh, I get it. "Rot cheer" is another way of saying "right here." Sometimes when people say "right here" it sounds like they're saying "rot cheer." Clever.

Have you found the instructions on how often to look away and for how long here on Lens 101?

Wow. That sure is an ugly old mug, herbking.

I wouldn't bother with a watermark either. I wouldn't even know how to add a watermark anyway, even if I wanted too. I'm not all that worried about...

I don't think the omission of the phrase "such as myself" really significantly changes the meaning of the posting. "A myopic person . . . can see [their] keyboard and monitor just fine without...

I'm guessing it's because "zombies" are portrayed as having strange eyes. Think of all the movies and TV shows where you clue that something bad is about to happen is the eyes. Think Incredible Hulk,...

I'm sure color correcting contact lenses work better than that "color TV filter" thing. I don't know how they work, but it's got to be a bit more complex and involved that just blue on the top and...

Yeah, I did the same thing. I was scrolling down the page of this long thread and suddenly my eyes detected the presence of a bikini and my finger stopped scrolling. Even though I've seen this page...

So tell me . . . were you a "hotmm" before you started wearing the FreshLook ColorBlends contact lenses or did they bring about a magical transformation in you?

Thanks for sharing your experience here with your contact lenses. I'm a bit confused though. You said "I have the B&L Softlens MF . . . Have the AirOptix MF mid add left and low add right and find...

So "anyone permitted under state law to issue prescriptions for contact lenses" is defined as " . . . licensed opticians who are permitted under state law to fit contact lenses . . . "

That's...

Okay, when they look like that, does it mean that they're right-side out? How do they look otherwise?
I think it's great that you can tell that your contact lens is inside out by just looking at...

That picture makes me think of another question. Maybe I should start a new thread but . . . oh well. Here's my question. Ladies, when you're wearing your FreshLook Dimensions contact lenses and you...

Yup. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get people to come on this site and talk about why a person's eyes may be swollen after wearing Fluorperm 30 contact lenses. They're gas permeable, or...

I'd really like to see that.

This picture look funny when you're scrolling down the page. It's like the girl pops up and goes "Bleah!"

How much longer?

Still waiting on HydroRunner.

Well at least you shared your experience and now maybe someone else will avoid the same mistake.

It looks as though all the Durasoft lenses are being discontinued now. What's your next step?

Nice. I like the dark lines radiating from the center.

I'd like to see Deejayt with Caribbean Aqua eyes. Anyone else?

Have you been prescribed Preference Toric XR lenses that are thicker than the average contact lens? How do they feel?

I've read a lot about how contact lenses that are made of silicone hydrogel are more comfortable to wear because they let more oxygen get through. Are Hydrocurve 3 Toric contact lenses made of...

Then how come the above illustration is titled "Myopia" with the word "nearsightedness" below it as if it was two names for the same thing? Is that title wrong?

Okay, so with UV protective contact lenses, is it like wearing sunglasses? You don't squint in the sun as much?

So the Amethyst lenses wound up looking kind of pale pinkish purple? Was that the final result?

Cool. Score one for FreshLook Colors.

Good work, ICU2. Those "wide eye" lenses--you don't mean anime lenses, do you?

Awesome. Good call, Bessie.

What about the puffy swollen eyes thing that started this thread?

Hi Contact Lens Fitter.

Hold it, what? "Near-sighted and far-sighted have nothing to do with what distance a person can see at"? I went to my eye doctor and got glasses because I couldn't see the...

Keep us posted, djezewski. I hope things continue to go well for you and your Air Optix lenses. I guess we won't be seeing your posts in the Gas Permeable section for much longer.

Well keep our fingers crossed, Frank. Until then, enjoy those contact lenses and here's to staying young.

Yeah. I like it too. How did you find it, friendlinzh? I'm sure the people that created it would love to know.

Oh, so that's why ppl lev posts lk ths.

Now to address your most recent post. Obviously, if someone is uncomfortable wearing RGP lenses, then they should try something else. That's a no-brainer....

How do I like the replica brand of Spy Sunglasses? Which replica brand? Is there more than one?

How do those XR lenses feel after they've been in your eyes for 12 or 15 hours? When do they start feeling bad, and what does "bad" feel like?

Tell me about the doctor who has prescribed your Proclear Toric XR lenses to you. Would you recommend them to a friend? Have you? What did you find this physician?

When you're working on your computer at home, do you have a bottle of rewetting drops nearby just because your eyes always feel dry when working on the PC?

Do you find that your eyes feel tired and dry when you're reading? Sometimes when you're engrossed in the latest Pulitzer Prize winner ;) your eyes start to feel dry because you don't blink as often....

This is an interesting thread if you start at the top and scroll down, looking at the pictures.

If the lenses cover your eyelids but slip and slide around then maybe the base curve is too big.

Maybe by "regular lenses" cattt means "not colored."

I call myself Steuhrob because my name is Rob and I have a big brother named Steve. Sometimes my parents would get confused and say "Ste--uh, Rob . . . "

There you have it.

Now, here's a...

Well, I suppose that if they didn't do much to change the color of your eyes, then it could be said that they give a "natural" appearance, right? What's more natural than your own eye color?
...

When you say that your reading correction in glasses is 1.50 to 1.75, is that the sphere or the add?

Shuttlebuggy . . . That's an interesting name. I know what a shuttle is, and I know what a...

Hi Yasmin. What do you mean they're "too big"? Do they slide down on your eyes? Do they cover your iris and some the the whites if your eyes, too? It is definitely possible that your contacts can be...

Let us know if you decide to take Carly's suggestion and try the Oasys lenses.

Hi there, JustMe. I'm glad you decided to join us here on Lens 101. I don't blame you for being careful about what you reveal in your very first post. I hope it won't be the last.

I'm not a...

Hi Janine407. Welcome to Lens 101. I'm glad you could join us.

I looked up ColorBlends and Colors on Lens.com it it said "FreshLook ColorBlends are the ideal contact lens for a subtle change and...

Hi there Dragon_eye. I didn't know you could post a picture your first time here. I'm glad you were able to do it. They look good on you; very natural.

You gave us a picture that's copyrighted and...

"If you only knew the power of seasoning. I MUST obey my recipe."

I used to hang out with these two sisters and stay quite late. I noticed that once or twice while I was there they took their contact lenses out and put on their glasses. Have you ever done that as a...

If you've got company over and it's getting late, do you take your 1-Day Acuvue TruEye lenses out as a way of saying "Well, it's been fun, but I'm going to bed now. Get out"?

Don't know about Ray Ban, but most people I know who wear contact lenses also wear glasses that they wear when their contact lenses are being cleaned or when they've taken them out for the evening.
...

Yeah, I'm sure D and k are like that.

Wow. Maybe you should have ordered from Lens.com. According to the contact information, they're in Missouri. Not Cyprus. If you're in the US, they'll probably get to you in less than a month.
...

Do you know how to quote someone else's post in your reply? We don't know what you think is stunning. Most importantly, they person who stunned you (Is that right?) doesn't know either.

Yeah, Grafite, giraffe, it's all good. :)

Solotica got your vote for what?

Thanks, TomTom. I was wondering about that, too. Have you tried dry fingers too?

Wow. I think the picture of sproutjps with her glasses on will disprove the saying that "Guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses." She can probably refute that from experience. :D

Sometimes people like to wear glasses instead of contact lenses so that can let their eyes rest, or maybe clean their contacts or whatever. For all you Fluorex 300 contact lens wearers, how often do...
