My Contacts/contact Lenses Don't Fit! I Can't See Out of Them!?

I bought some contacts online…maybe not a good thing to do, I know I should have ordered them from the doctor’s office..but when I put them in I couldn’t see out of them! The opening for the pupil was too small, and my vision was fuzzy and hazy because the lens was obstructing my view. I can’t return them to the company because they’ve been opened. What can I do with contact lenses that don’t fit, that I spent on??
These are colored lenses, by the way…brown.

Buying Contacts Online?

I want to order a pair of contacts from lensmart – I wear Ciba lenses, but have never tried Freshlook (they are disposables made by Ciba). I have a copy of my prescription – the only problem is that Freshlook have one diameter size, which is larger than what I normally get (8.6, 13.5 – Freshlook only come in 14.6). Does diameter matter a lot when it comes to contacts? I want Freshlook because I want brown colored lenses. I used to get Baush and Lomb lenses that were slightly larger than Ciba’s and was ok with them. Since the diameter isn’t even written on my prescription (I had to look on one of my contact lens boxes to get the diameter), they shouldn’t have a conflict when ordering, right? Since my prescription has to be verified, how do they do that? I typically order lenses from my eye doctor, but I’d really rather bypass them and order online. I’m afraid since I want to switch to Freshlook (even though they’re made by Ciba like my current lenses), they’d want to have me in for fittings. Maybe this is a good idea, but I’m quite certain I’ve already had lenses in the larger size before. There are Ciba SoftColors in the diameter size I’m used to that are available in an amber shade (these are daily wear lenses, which I prefer to disposables), BUT these are designed for lighter eyes. I have hazel eyes, and want a browner shade. The picture looks brown, but I don’t know if they’d be enough color for darker eyes like mine? Should I just go ahead and go with Freshlook, or go with the Softcolors? OR stick with what I have?

Could I Get Colored Contacts Without Consulting My Doctor First?

I have been wearing contacts for about a year now and I would like to start wearing colored contact lenses. I know my prescription and I know what color I want; do you think I could just go online and order some colored lenses without consulting my optometrist? Or should I talk to hI am about it first?

Questions About Contact Lens Sizing?

So, Ive been fitted for contact lenses in the past and now I’m looking into buying colored lenses just for giggles and occasional wear. The ones I want to buy do NOT require a prescription, however, mine matches their size almost perfectly. The only thing is my diameter is 14.00 and the lens diameter is 14.5. So! My questions to you are..

Is it REALLY that much of a difference? What would happen if I wore them anyways?

Thanks :)

Contact Lenses to Darken Light Eyes?

I have light green eyes and I am having problems finding a contact to darken them. I would like to find a lens that turns them a dark brown – not any type of golden, light brown or hazel shade. I can find lots of colored lenses made for people with dark eyes, but am having problems finding something for my light eyes.

Any suggestions??

I love whatever colored contact lenses that Kristen Stewart has on in the Twilight movies – she has light eyes, too. The darker colored contacts make her eyes look so pretty.

Could Someone Help Me with Understanding Colored Contacts?

Well, I have two unequal pupils, both of which respond to light. It is hereditary, and there is nothing to worry about. This week, I am getting a new pair of contact, which I want to be opaque colored contacts. I am looking into getting the Acuve2 colored lenses for myself and want to know how well do colored contacts perfom for covering up this aberrant sizing of my pupils. I have brown eyes and will get brown colored contacts. Will nobody notice that my two pupils are of different sizes? Will I still be able to see with the opaque colored contacts? What happens when the pupils dilate and contract with colored contacts?

Best Monthly Contacts?

Well, I’m on a free trial right now from my eye doctor.
But I was wondering…what brand is the best (if I decide to go with a different kind)?
I have astigmatism in my left eye for which I need toric lenses, but my right one is normal.

I’m not looking for colored lenses or anything, just monthly disposable soft lenses.

Can You Get Contact Lenses Even for a High Prescription?

I have a slightly high prescription (-7.00) and I was wondering if they have contacts for that.
If it varies from company to company, then I am specifically looking for FreshLook colored lenses.
Thank you for all your help!

Contact Lenses / Colored Contacts Question.?

I want contacts / colored ones. And my parents seem to let me. Yes, i do wear glasses. And i feel like i want to try some contacts. Before i start, my friends told me that it can cause eye infections, they’re dirty, and stuff like that.

What are some bad things about contacts? What happens if it makes your eyes really dry? And i know that this might be the stupidest thing ever, but could you die from wearing contacts? ( Really bad infections as i have been told from my friends )

What are the requirements you need in order to wear contacts? ( A specific age, etc )

Also, How much do colored and non-colored lenses usually cost, and where would be a good place in Canada to get contacts?

I Want to Buy Colored Contact Lenses..?

hey,I am a 16 year old guy..
Well,just like anyone else,i’d like to wear those colored lenses just for fun (also,to see what its like)..for a few days..
but my parents wont get them for me because they think its only for girls..they actually think that its gay for a guy to try them..and they know theyre safe..
anyway,i know that in many places,yoyou can get them without a prescription from an optician..but i dont know how to wear them? (my parents obviously wont take me to an optician)
i heard that you can damage your eye if you dont know how to wear/remove them..
could anyone tell me how to wear/remove them? someone who has worn contact lenses?
So, basically,is it enough to ask for advice on how to wear them? or is there anything else that the optician warns you about them?
10 points for anyone with the best answer :) )..

Does America's Best Sell Colored Contact Lenses?

I know America’s Best is known for their glasses and contacts are affordable prices. I heard that America’s Best sells boxes of contacts for .49 a box. Do they sell colored contact lenses too? I don’t like wearing clear contacts.I want to stick with the violet and gray contacts I been wearing since I was a teen. When I wear clear contacts, I’m just another face in the crowd.Some of my relatives don’t notice me when I wear clear contacts.I don’t get any male attention, hardly. The elderly don’t bombard me with pinches on my cheeks when I wear clear contacts.I’m just another face in the crowd. When I wear violet or gray contacts I get the elderly pinching me on my cheeks and telling me how adorable I am and I get male attention and my relatives don’t walk past me.I prefer that versus being another face in the crowd.I don’t like to be like everyone else.Please tell me that America’s Best sells colored lenses.
My eyes are close to dark brown.I once was forced to wear clear contacts for a month bc mom didn’t have money for the colored ones that month, and it was so bad.My aunt walked right past me and didn’t notice me.I had to say hi in order to get her attention.But when I wear the violet or gray contacts, my relatives notice me right away.I didn’t get any male attention.When I wear clear lenses I look like the rest of my black race.I’m just another face in the crowd and I like to stand out, so I want to continue wearing the gray and violet lenses like I been doing since high school.These are my trade marks.When I had to wear those clear lenses I even got ignored at my church.I ended up having to say hi out loud to get attention.They said sorry didn’t notice you and that I don’t stand out as much without the violet eyes.Even my little cousins overlooked me.I just don’t stand out without them.
