Contact Lens Solution Ideas

LensMan — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:13:09 +0000

While most people spend all of their time focused on their contact lenses, they’re energy and money are also spent reseraching these contact lenses. Most people tend to ignore the fact that contact lens solution is also as important as choosing the right contact lenses.

Each contact lens solution is designed for a purpose. Some are very specific, some are general. If you have a special eye condition, you might want to think about researching the type of contact lens solution you buy before settling on anything that Wal-Mart has on sale. All of this solution research can be done online. Another great reason for buying contact lens solution online is the plethora of reviews. There are thousands of people who have reviewed contact lens solutions online and you can easily find them by searching Google or any other search engine.

If you’re one of the many people that suffer daily from astigmatism, don’t worry, you can still wear colored contacts! Many doctors are torn on the issue, but many more are beginning to come around and allow their patients to wear colored contacts even though they have Astigmatism. I always recommend talking to your doctor before making a decision about wearing colored contact lenses if you have any eye disease.

Colored contact lenses for astigmatism come in all different colors. If you’re looking for baby blue contact lenses, deep red contact lenses or even white and black dragon contact lenses, you can find them for astigamtism sufferers. Don’t give up your search if you’re having a difficult time finding someone who sells contacts for those with Astig.

You’re not alone in wanting to wear colored contact lenses, in fact, many celebrities wear contacts every day!

Custom Halloween Contact Lenses

Halloween contact lenses are all the rage this year. However, getting contacts that look exactly like everyone else is definitely out. Time for some custom Halloween contact lenses! Custom contact lenses aren’t anything new, but custom cosmetic contact lenses (that’s a mouthful!) are pretty new.

In the last few years, halloween contacts have gone for regular, plain contacts to custom in just about every way including design. You can get custom designed contact lenses that are hand painted in China and custom hand crafted lenses that are made in Sweden and Germany.

Once you make the switch to custom Halloween contact lenses, you won’t ever feel the need to match and look just like everyone else at the Halloween party!

Red Contact Lenses

While red contact lenses will be seen as “creepy” and “dark” by many people, others will simply love and adore the idea of taking their eye color and transforming it into a beautiful deep (or light) red with their contact lenses. A single red contact lens can make your wolf or vampire costume really look great and once you have red contact lenses, you’ll probably want to wear them at other times, not just Halloween.

Most red contact lenses are disposable, while some can be reused. For more information on that you’ll need to check with the manufacturer of the exact red lenses that you have. Red lenses (cheap red contact lenses) really reflect light and flash bulbs from cameras. You’ll be the apple of someones eye at the next Halloween party you go to! You can check out ABC contacts for more information on red lenses.

Navy Blue Contact Lenses

Most people looking for blue contact lenses want either the baby blue contact lenses or blue costume contacts. In the past few days I have had 2 different emails asking about the darker navy blue contact lenses. Of course we can talk about dark blue contacts as well as light blue!

Navy blue contacts don’t usually serve the same purpose that their lighter cousins do. You won’t find very many celebrities wearing navy blue contacts. Most people looking for blue contact lenses want to appear to have beautiful blue eyes, or like Arnold Schwarzenegger, they want to appear to be kind and gentle, not the first thought that comes to the mind.

In any case, navy blue contact lenses have made a very popular appearance in award shows with the younger MTV generation. For you music fans, you could have seen FoB at the New Years’ Eve party wearing navy blue contact lenses.

There are a few different stores online that sell navy blue contact lenses. My most recent purchase of navy blue contact lenses was through 1800 Contacts
. The lenses arrived quickly and I had them just in time for use as Halloween contacts.

Sharing Contact Lenses Can Be Dangerous

LensMan — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:55:41 +0000

While everyone knows that getting a deep cut and not cleaning and treating it can lead to infection, so can sharing contact lenses. The difference is that you don’t need a deep cut to get an eye infection from a pair of cheap contact lenses. Contacts often times, when shared, get tiny particles of dirt on them. That dirt can’t be seen, but can scratch your eye.

Other contacts aren’t designed for your eye and can leave you with blurry vision and could cause you to fall down and get a cut and then get a normal infection.

The Capital Blog has a great article about Ohio stopping the selling of colored contact lenses. Check it out.

Contact Lens Prescriptions, What Do They Mean?

LensMan — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:00:58 +0000

At my first visit to InfoMean blog, I found something that immediately caught my eye. They posted a great article about contact lens prescriptions and how to understand them.

One of the biggest misunderstandings explained my Mike Schwartz in this article was the difference between vision correcting contact lenses, and contact lenses that still required a prescription, but aren’t vision correcting. This is typically how must people get a prescription for cheap halloween contacts and then use that prescription to buy cheap contact lenses and solution.

The two types of contact lenses are marketed and talked about by Schwartz as traditional and cosmetic. This is a great way to remember when you are talking to your eye doctor.

Lasik Eye Surgery Links for 10/29/2007

LensMan — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 20:48:23 +0000

With halloween just around the corner, and contact lenses on everyone’s mind, here are some notable links regarding Lasik eye surgery.

From the blogosphere:

Unmused has posted a followup article regarding her recent lasik eye surgery. She says, “Four days later and I’m still not seeing quite as well as I’d like, especially up close. I know everyone heals differently and while some people see perfectly in the days after the surgery other’s can take weeks before their vision stablizes. You always want to be in that first group though. So, poop.” Don’t worry unmused, it’s a major surgery and will take time to heal. If you aren’t seeing any better after two weeks, call your doctor and schedule an appointment for an evaluation!

Jantra has posted a recent post about her experience with Lasik, while quite different than Unmused, it’s still a great read. Jantra was given two different choices between her Lasik doctors. Most of the time you don’t get a choice!
