Thank you for your kind words about Lens 101. I think it's a very helpful site as well. I've learned a lot during my time as a member here.

I like your award idea. Some kind of Certificate of...

Boy, that's too bad. So how did he or she explain you discomfort? Did they suggest it was just your imagination?

Thanks for sharing the pros of RGP contact lenses with us, and I like your use of the term "softies." :)

You don't have a character limit, ironically-named excess3. Go ahead and tell us the whole story.

It sounds like you've found your contact lens niche, sylvia.

I feel strange not capitalizing your name, but I guess that's they way you like it, huh?

I thought Soloticas were those world-famous Brazilian lenses everybody is talking about. Oh well.

More importantly, I'm sorry you had such a bad time with Paranalentes.com. I'm tempted to take...

Would you mind summarizing your breakthrough to create a little excitement about that other post? Kind of like advertising? "To hear the rest of this exciting adventure, go to . . . "

What about hose patients you mentioned before, the one who uses just one lens to read, and the other who wears one lens only to read? Did they ever report this "one shoe" feeling?

I read the other thread and even responded to it. With a little help from above, someone might even find my response useful. :)

True, but you don't want to get lake water on your contact lenses either. I agree with you that you need to be careful what you clean your lenses with.

Yes, I agree. I don't see anything really bad about someone posting about a brand of contacts that they really like, even if that brand doesn't happen to be sold by the sponsor. As you say, that's...

Well, sorry about that, sylvia. I guess there are those on this forum who are fiercely loyal to their brands . . . and their forum.

I do have to wonder though, about those places that will sell...

For those of us not familiar with the procedure, refractive lens exchange, or RLE is defined as "a type of vision correction surgery in which the eye's natural lens is removed and replaced with a...

Yeah I see what you mean. Thanks for the map.

That's a good guess, Type40. Thanks.

[Cricket sounds.]

Well, I sure told her, didn't I? :o

Maybe. Or maybe she travels with a color expert who makes sure that her eyes always look the same color in photographs.

Do you think people really go to such lengths just to maintain their...

That's great, Shakibabe88. I'm glad you like your colored contact lenses.

Speaking of unstoppable, it looks like this is post number 100 in this thread.

I found an article about a new generation of Focus Night and Day lenses. The article is dated in April of 2011, so I guess it's about the current generation of contact lenses:...

I haven't had that happen in the area of contact lenses, but I have had the opportunity to gain wisdom in that manner.

What happened when youstarted using contact lenses for the first time? Did they feel as dry then?

Have you ever had a problem with wearing contact lenses in very hot weather? How about a sauna or steam room? Are they okay in high temperatures and humidity?

Maybe I should have said "Proclear Multifocal in the Twilight."

Ah, there you are my little TV vampire fans. Tell Google I said thanks. So tell me . . . what you think about Proclear Multifocal?

If you can give the doctor who prescribed Frequency 55 Multifocal contact lenses to you a grade from A to F, what would that grade be?

Check it out. Megan Fox wears glasses, too. Here she is hawking some kind of toy or something and she still looks smokin'.


(I can't believe I just said "smokin'.") :rolleyes:

Do we have anyone around here who's "40 or better" as they say, and wearing Air Optix Aqua Multifocal lenses? How do you like them? How do they compare to the lenses you needed when you were younger?...

Oasys is a well-know and well-liked contact lens brand. Are any of you wearing Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia after wearing other Oasys lenses? How do they compare?

So, did Clearly Contacts "look into it" yet?

I've been posting in various thread where she appears asking her for more pictures. I hope that helps.

Oh yes, the picture helps. Do you have any more? Those contacts look so good with your smile. I want to see more.

So when are you going to show us your striking eyes again? We want more pictures!

Thanks for putting in that picture of Starlite239. I hope she comes back here and realizes she needs to post more pictures if she wants to catch up to Deejayt in the category of Number of Pictures in...

Hi gowingstjc. I just read your post and I hope you're still just as happy with your contacts now as you were when you posted this.

I know what you mean. I haven't been here in about six weeks and things have progressed. This is a happenin' thread.

How are you cartagia? Have you had any more trouble with migraines?

If your eye doctor reaches into his tool bag and pulls out one of those--run.

Oh, were we discussing green lenses? I didn't even notice. :D

How do your Hydrocurve II Aphakic contacts feel right as you wake up in the morning? Do they hurt a little after sleeping in them all night?

One reason why people don't like glasses is because they can hide your face. Do you wear Hydrocurve II so people can see your pretty face?

For some of us, hiding our face isn't such a bad idea ....

If you're like most H4 wearers, you got contact lenses because you don't like wearing glasses. Still, sometimes that's a necessary evil. How often do you find yourself wearing your glasses instead of...

I notice that a lot of pictures here on Lens 101 of people modeling their contact lenses seem to be taken in the bathroom. For those of you who have contributed such pictures, I wonder if it's...

All the better to see your contacts with, my dear. They look nice. Thanks for showing us your face--and your upper arm, too.

I just saw your profile picture, Lorien. Why don't you post a picture of your full face so we can see how those contacts in context with your face?

Okay, for those of us who don't know, what are circle lenses?

This forum is brought to you by the people of Lens 101. They sell contact lenses on line at pretty good prices. Has anyone here ordered from Lens.com? How would you rate their products and service?

How comfortable are these Trans-aire contact lenses? For those of you who are contact lens veterans, how would you rate them among other comparable lenses. I'm looking for someone who can tell me...

I just posted a question and it made me think of another one. Contact lenses like SGP III sometimes fall out. I wonder if they've ever fallen in someone's drink? If it had alcohol in it, could you...

Have any of you dropped one of your SGP III lenses in an unusual manner or in a strange place? Tell us about it.

Do Polycon II fall out easily if you're being jostled and pushed? Maybe you're waiting to get into the stores on Black Friday and you really don't want your lens to pop out in that initial push...

Gas Permeable lenses like Paragon HDS 100 are a little smaller than soft lenses and so they're a little bit more likely to fall out or slip out of position. For this reason I was wondering if Paragon...

I've read that "monovision" is using one eye to read with and the other eye to see distant objects with. Do you have to use two different brands or can you have the same brand in both eyes, just with...

PMMA lenses aren't the most comfortable lenses right out of the box. You have to stick with them until you can come to some kind of agreement. Has anyone here stuck with their PMMA lenses a long time...

You probably saw this one then: http://www.lens101.com/soflens-daily-disposable/11896-soflens-daily-disposable-inexperienced.html

There's a post in there by someone called "Knotlob." He's been on...

Cool. We're looking forward to hearing about your trials of Avaira and Biofinity. May the best lens win.

Welcome to Lens 101 Linda/JazzInTN. You've got a lot of questions, now let's see if we can sort them out.

First off, you said you "don't know all of the right terminology," but it all seems in...

How are those PureVision Multi-Focals when it comes to seeing things in the distance, like when you're driving?

Hi there hbwright and welcome to Lens 101. I'm glad you're here, I just wish it was under better circumstances.

I can't really explain why your eyes are sore and tired without actually seeing...

I think you just did.

Another way is to look at the blue line that's going across the top of this page. The one that has the date on the left hand side. On the right side is a triangle with a...

Yeah. That would be even better than having an army of garden gnomes.

Thanks for that PS, 3scompany. It's important to follow your eye doctor's instructions.

Those are pretty specific directions, mgash. I'm sure there are going to be lots of people coming to this site and they'll appreciate your careful instructions.

So bedtime is 11 pm and then you get up at 5 am. Right? You take out your contacts a few hours before you go to bed, which gives you about . . . 15 hours of contact lens wear on a typical day?

Thanks for your help dsteinschneider. I'm glad your eyes feel better now.

It's been about six months since rosie51 checked in. I wonder of he or she will be back?

So you're not one of those people who live in a dark apartment with passages cleared out to get around your piles of "useful things"?

I just came from there. It's nice, but kind of lonely.

You're probably right. Havoc.

Okay, let me try one more time. How do you carry your X-Games clip on sunglasses with you?

What kind of lenses are those? Are they the vial lenses than come in the little jars?

I can't say I've noticed that, but this is the place to find out if the Oasys contacts really have changed.

From this distance, your eyes look the same color to me. Maybe you need to post another picture where the camera is a little closer. It's a nice color though, inside out or inside in. Thanks for the...

Wow, were you typing without your contacts or what? :D So much for "eagle eyes."

I think you meant to say . . . I mean type . . . "You know what you've got to do."

Right?

I'm gratified that you appreciate it.

Yeah, we haven't heard from Basil in a while. I hope things are going well for him/her.

I like to think about all the other nice people who use this website. I don't want to ruin it for them by posting a picture of a ride-up unitard.

Yeah, it seems like people on this site would rather start their own thread that contribute to an established one.

These sunglasses have triangles on them.

Now why would you say something like that on a website that's sponsored by a contact lens company?

And now, some hail. (If you're confused, see the title.)

No pictures just yet, but I'll be patient.

I was gonna say, looking at the different pictures of Deejayt's eyes, I noticed that on some of the pictures, she not only has a contact lens in one...

Let us know the next chapter in this saga. You might want to hold off and see if another month will do the trick like your eye doctor said. That way you can tell her "you said I'd feel better in a...

I didn't have the nerve to post an example of a "ride-up unitard." Sorry.

Yay, Lens.com!

Wow. Fast reply.

I'm glad you're able to go on with your life despite these strange visions.

You said "stop the pain after." So your head doesn't hurt when you see the aura? That's kind of a...

I keep a pair of regular sunglasses in the car so I will have them handy when driving on sunny days. Perhaps some members do the same with clip-on sunglasses.

Wow. That's awful.
These ocular migraines probably don't scare as much as they did PrincePlanet do they? Is there some kind of medication you can take to prevent these strange events?

Still can't find a picture. Is this the right name for these glasses, for sure?

This is fun.

Check this out. "I think you'll find it interesting to know that toota mishka Jabba du Hutt? is actually an only very slightly distorted sentence in Polish:Tutaj mieszka Jabba du...

You're very clever Building63. Here's what uvexsports.com says: "Three lens Interchangeable System: gray flash mirror for sunny days, orange flash mirror for flat light, and a clear lens when you...

Yeah, that was pretty clever. Let hear it for Lens 101 and Avaira contact lenses.

That works for me. I've been told by some people the the caps on plastic soda bottle cannot be recycled, and some say they can, so I just take the caps off and put them in the recycle bin with the...

On behalf of PTUser and myself, thank you for clearing that up. I see some posts here from time to time about people trying to take shortcuts with these things that actually touch your delicate...

If I remember correctly there were several people on Lens 101 that complained about being switched from Air Optix Night & Day to Oasys.

Here's where you can find out more about Biofinity Toric...

I have to agree, Walkaway. I'm more interested in how the contacts affect the way a person's face looks than I am in taking a close, magnified look at the pattern of the contact lens color. Who's...

Yes.

"Watch out new show! It's about vampires, you know! Vampires with teenage angst! Good-looking vampires with teenage angst!"

*Yawn* What else ya got?

I think I read someplace that you only have a few seconds for your website to attract someone's attention and get them to buy your product. I looked at this site and I saw some nice-looking lenses,...

Oh, so they're called "Natural Colors." No wonder Eldradmustlive had such a hard time finding them. So are you going back to FreshLook Colors contacts since the Natural Colors have let you down?

Not as far as I know, so until someone comes along and corrects me, I'm going to stand by my Ray Ban identification.

Fantastic, Purpleiris. That's just what I was looking for.

We still haven't heard from Slade, but I'm glad you found that post helpful Superschwin.

No, I think Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism has the blue ribbon for the longest contract lens brand name.

Yes, it's true that if you go to bed earlier you will find it easier to respond to the alarm clock. Just don't do what I day and stay up past midnight surfing the Internet. :rolleyes:
