Contact Lense Chat

~GreekNeptune~ asked:


I am really tired of wearing glasses and I’ve been wanting to get contact lenses. The thing is, I don’t know where to begin. What’s a good price? Where can I take the exam and for how much? Lastly, how many types of contact lenses are there? I would appreciate any help.

It seems like everytime the doctor orders me a different set of contact lenses, I never seem to see as sharp as compared to my eyeglasses. If I want to look at something up close, my eyes just blur.

Hi, being shortsighted, I hate wearing glasses and release discovered a “treatment”called orthokeratology in which I need to wear hard contact lenses at night, which will reshape my the front of eye so that I can see clearly for the next 12 hours.
According to the optometrist, it works for me, however the only problem is that I can’t remove the hard contact lenses from my eye. Can anyone please help!!!

I just got my contact lenses today and they aren’t THAT clear. im not sure if they are flipped inside out or not… at times they are somewhat clear and most of they time i can feel the ‘weighted’ part rotating and not staying in place.. any tips?

People have told me that they notice that whenever I wear my contact lenses, I start to blink and squint and do weird things with my face. I do not do those things in my glasses. What could this be caused by? Thanks!

I have been wearing my contacts for longer periods of time than I was advised to. When I take my contact lenses out, the area which is covered by my contacts starts to sting a lot. Can this be healed? Will I have to stop wearing contact lenses permanently? HELP! I look super bad with glasses and I think my self-esteem would be crushed if I had to wear them every day.

I’m going to the optometrist tomorrow, hopefully OPSM. About how much would the contact lenses cost? I have astigmatism. How much would the solutions cost? I need an estimated cost to know before-hand.

Thanks!

I have dark brown eyes and I’m getting contacts this weekend.. I prefer that they look natural. I prefer lighter colors like green and blue. I want contact lenses that are completely comfortable and won’t annoy me when i’m wearing them… any ideas?

I bought the Alcon 2 soft contact lenses for my eyes. How long should I wear them before replacing ??
I take them out and wash them everyday with Alcon lense solution. Will they affect my eyes if I use the same contacts too many times ??
Sorry, my bad, it’s called the Acuvue 2 contact lenses.
