Help contact lenses

[katebug48]

Like everyone else has said, definitely go see on Opthamologist. They can better match a contact for you. When I was 13 or so, I had a floating asthigmatism, so I could wear the Fresh Look Color Contacts without problems. Now I'm 24, my asthigmatism has gotten worse, and is here to stay. The color contacts are now $100 a box for me. I stick to my lovely clear ones. I love the color of my eyes anyways, without the coloring.

LENSHOLIC.. omg, you cannot sign up for that. I have signed up TWICE to try to get in but NO ONE ever approves me. It's so annoying. I guess I can try and sign up again............................................. .........

Yep, once again the website won't let me join...

Account Pending Approval

Currently your account is waiting for approval from a staff member. Once an administrator has approved your account you will get access to this forum.

I will get this message for MONTHS, I have been trying to join since.. 03/29/2006.. OMG LOL, I have been trying to join the site for 1 yr. I have made 3 accts over the past year hoping at least one of them would get approved.

Anyways, sorry to get off topic.

I started with Freshlook but I am moving on to something else, just looking for the right one I guess.

Are your eyes dark colored or light? Freshlook looks better on light eyed beauties, you might want to look at a different brand if you have dark eyes.

lol, what a coincidence... they finally approved me *grin*

Annia, which one did you try, there was an old lensaholics and the person who made that forum, took off for a while and for months and months, no accouts were approved. But there is a new one LENSAHOLICS - Login they approved me right away. Hope you get on that one, there are so many great and helpful members with great pics.

Thank you, I tried again and it approved me. Maybe I was trying the old one.

I did get approved now, and I am loving the website. I haven't introduced myself yet.

Good deal!!

haha, yup. I sleep in my contacts. The contact lenses I have are soft disposable ones, which are made of thinner material, and safe to sleep in occassionally. To be perfectly honest I probably sleep in them for at least 10 days in a row. Sometimes my eyes dry out a little, but I put drops in, no issues.

I think I can agree when I say that it is important to see an optometrist to make sure that you've been properly fitted for whichever contact lenses you choose

 

[magosienne]

you can sleep with your contacts, especially if they're hard. i don't know for the others, i guess if they're monthly disposable you can sleep with them. one freind had daily disposables and she couldn't do that.

make sure you have drops with yourself, like physiological saline or other drops you find in pharmacy/optician.

 

[pinksugar]

I reckon. I used to have yearly disposables and I slept in them once.. they stick to your eyeballs. It's awful. I don't know why my current ones don't but they're only short wear ones. Not daily but 1-3 monthly i think.

Mago do you wear contacts too? coloured or prescriptive?
