How Do I Know When I've Found the Right Contact Lens for My Eye?

I’m new to contacts and am a little perturbed on how to determine if the contact prescription I have is right for me. I have astigmatism and can see pretty clearly with my current prescription, but not quite as well as with my glasses. I’m also experiencing some discomfort in my eyes; they feel cold and they have that tired feeling.

I did try a trial pair of a different brand that I knew right away were not right for my eyes, but I’m wondering if should even bother with a third trial pair. Is it possible that my current lenses would become more clear and comfortable if I just experI ament with different saline solutions and refreshing drops? I’ve watched several videos online about inserting contacts correctly, so I don’t think that’s an issue, I just don’t know if they would be better with different drops/saline. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Contact Lens Help Please (:?

My contact prescription expired just a few days ago, and i hadn’t realized that it was going to expire, so I didn’t make a new appointment for a new prescription. So, this morning, one of my contact lenses ripped and i don’t have a pair of back up glasses as i just never wanted to spend the money on them as i knew i wouldn’t wear them.
So, now i have one contact, no more boxes, and no glasses. How do i go about to fix this problem?

I Am Looking for a Contact Lens… ?

Ok here is my situation…

I wear glasses all the tI ame and i fancied (after much courage building) to go and make myself a contact lens fitting appointment.

As i have been wearing my glasses since the age of 5 or 6 i have quite a "strong" optical prescription.

I also have astigmatism so therefore i would be requiring the "toric" lenses.

I have noticed that all of the contacts only go up to a power of + 6.00 diopters, is the glasses prescription the same as contact lense prescription powers.

My prescription is +6.50 and +6.75 in the other eye, will that make me not eligible for toric contacts?

Or could i just wear the +6.00? As the opticians did consider that to be a viable option.

Help please… Thanks

Contact Lenses Prescription.?

A couple of questions.

The name of my contact lens in SIH 48 (Monthly ultI amate). Having looked online I have found it under the name of biofinity, and they claI am they are continuous wear lenses (for up to 29 days), however my optician told me I could wear them for 12-14 hours per day. Is this right?

Second, my prescription for both eyes is the same, sph: -0.75, and cyl: -0.5 (I think, because I believe she has forgotten to put the minus sign).

This is different from my glasses prescription, right eye, sph:-0.5, cyl: -0.5

left eye, sph:-0.5, cyl: -0.25.

I really just want to confirm that this prescription is correct, since I have been searching on the internet and I am unable to choose a measurement for cyl for this type of lens. Is it possible she just wrote down the cyl even though that’s not for my lenses?
Footprintz, I live in the UK, and I assure you this is not a trial. I went for my final recheck yesterday, and these lenses were finalised. I went to Specsavers, and I definitely got a contact lens prescription, which has a cylindrical fitting. I am aware this fitting cannot be purchased.

Go to http://www.lenstore.co.uk/?_a=viewProd&productId=63&gclid=CNyBjKnA2pwCFd4B4wodpFG-LA

as here it sells them as CONTINUOUS wear lenses.
Thanks for your help Footprintz. To be honest I think I for my glasses my prescription should be the same for each eye, which would explain the contact lens ‘sph’. I phoned them up today and asked them to send me another prescription just in case, since I actually had to ask the optician for my prescription yesterday.

What Are the Benefits of Buying Anti-reflective Eyeglasses Instead of Normal Glasses?

I do not wear my eyeglasses that often. I only wear it at home. I usually wear contact lens. The owner of the eyeglassess persuaded me to get anti-reflective glasses instead of the normal one. I ended up pay CA extra. Is it worth to pay more? I still feel very uncomfortable paying the extra when I think i don’t need it.
honestly, I can’t notice the difference when I am wearing them. I can only see the difference wen someone else wearing it or I just look at the glasses with my naked eyes.

Why Does My Contact Prescription Change Yearly?

I am a 24 yr old male. I have been wearing contact lens & glasses for at least 6 years. My concern is regarding my change in prescription. It seems like every tI ame I go for my yearly exam I end up needing a new prescription. It usually changes for .5 or so each tI ame. I am just wondering when will my eyes finally stop changing? Should I be worried? Where will I be in my 30′s or 40′s? Am I going blind?

Also, I recieved a new prescrption several months ago (left eye -3.00, right eye -3.50). It may just be me being paranoid, but I feel like I dont see as clear as I did when I received the prescription.

Am I crazy? Should I be worried? Any suggestions…?

Buy Color Contacts Online?

I’m wanting to get some colored contacts to wear just for fun every once in a while and would like to buy them from an online store.

I dont wear or need glasses or contacts. I have hazel eyes and would want to get maybe an aqua or pink purple color lens.

Ive read that you have to get fitted for them an a perscription to buy them, but is that REALLY necessary? I wouldnt even be buying them from an actaul lens website like acuve.com or 1800contacts.com
the site i found ones i liked didnt require anything like that since they arent perscription lenses

so if i order them without seeing an eye doctors is there any SERIOUS problems that i could have with them?

know any good sites that dont require perscriptions and are purely cosmetic lenses?

    How Much Will My Lenses for Glasses Cost?

    I know that my contact lens prescription is -8.00. I figure my glasses prescription will be a little bit less. I am going for my annual exam tomorrow. Unfortunately, my glasses snapped in half so I need a new pair. Last tI ame I bought them, it was about 0.00. However, at that tI ame I didn’t really pay attention to the cost of the frames or anything, so I don’t know what to expect tomorrow. I’m looking for a cheap, but extremely durable pair of frames and then the lenses. So, about how much will my lenses cost?

    Are Glasses/contacts Lens Prescriptions Supposed to Be Different?

    I recently purchased some glasses lens. Problem is, I can barely see through these glasses. I noticed when I looked at my prescription that my glasses prescription had the exact same numbers as my contact lens prescription.

    Are glasses/contacts lens prescriptions supposed to be different? I have heard so in the past. This would certainly explain why I feel like I am underwater or something.
    SPH, CYL, AXIS

    OD -2.25, -2.50, 012
    OS -3.50, -2.25, 160

    I just realized that the two prescriptions are the EXACT same. I think my doctor screwed up.

    I Want to Order Eyeglasses Online Using My Contact Prescription, Help?

    I need to order a cheap pair of eyeglasses online and when I need to fill in my prescription, one of the options confuses me, and i DO NOT want to get this wrong.

    Heres the website…

    http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=386&cat=20&page=1

    Here is what I’m basing my prescription off of…

    http://hdI amage.org/viewer.php?file=5hpzyk3v65r3cf5zzoe_1650.jpg

    Now if you look at the page you see…

    OD-SPH OD-CYL OD-AXIS OD-ADD

    When i fill in my info from my contact lens I get….

    http://hdI amage.org/viewer.php?file=b5b290eezs3edeuxav_untitled.jpg

    What I don’t understand is what OD-ADD is, I don’t see anything else on my contact lens that can be used to fill it in. Also, my left eye contact lens (non astigmatism) doesn’t have the CYL or AXIS numbers. Are these for astigmatisms only?
    thank you for your help, i was afraid they wouldn’t give me the prescription info because I’m going to another source for my glasses.

    as long as they are required by law to give it to me I’m all good, i got my prescription a year ago.

    Contact Lenses Suck…?

    I got some to try for the week by my eye doctor and they’ve been giving me problems all week long. Right now they just fell off both of them, out of no where.. and i put one on a red envelope stamp to distinguish left from right and it decided to suck up the color of the stamp. So now one of them is useless… Oh and to finish pissing me off they decide to crunch up like leaves after i put the water thing they give me.. Why?

    Here what I need answered though..
    I paid 75 bucks for the contact lens exam, can i get a refund?
    I also was made to buy glasses so I got some that my insurance covered, (it covered ) can I get a refund or use the credit to by some designer ones? Since I’m not going to get contacts anymore?

    Do They Check Your Pupillary Distance During a Contact Lens Fitting?

    So a few days ago my bf got glasses on sale and they measured his PD at the actual place where he purchased his glasses. I have a prescription that I got for contacts and glasses, but they didn’t check mine when I went to buy from the same place. Did they forget or is the PD covered as part of the contacts fitting? They have my actual prescription so I can’t check it at the moment, but hopefully someone knows if any of the machines used to fit contacts also measure that distance?
