Vadim S asked: My glasses prescription is -1.75 yet my contacts is -1.50. I understand that contacts sit right on your cornea but I am reading that it only really matters when you are above 4 diopeters..
I can tell you first hand though that if I wear -1.75 contacts they are too strong but if I wear -1.50 they feel just like the -1.75 glasses…
it feels like its a .25 difference between contacts and glasses even when you are at a perscription below 4 diopeters…
Am I right on this or am I just crazy??
thanks!

snookersmyhero asked: I used to wear a pair of ‘monthly’ Bausche and Laumbe contacts. To take them off, I would look up, slide the contact ‘down’. It would get big air bubbles underneath it, and I could ‘pinch’ it to remove it.
I tried the same process with my new contacts, a pair of focus dailies. But man these things stick like crazy… when pulling them down they were being filled with ‘air bubbles’, and I was afraid I’d push them under my eye.
Is there a trick to this I don’t know? I wonder if my eyes were too dry, and that was what caused this?

Steven Lee Curtis asked: I didn’t do it, but someone I know has a stupid friend that does crazy things and I guess that’s how it happened. Anyways, what is this, and why does it happen?

rehanblue asked: I did a little checking on the TSA website and I can’t make out if my contact lens fluid, which is stored in a a opaque large 500ml bottle is allowed. Does it count as a saline solution or what? I don’t want to have to pour it into 3 oz bottles…what is a 3 oz bottle you crazy non-metric people???

Anonymous asked: Hey guys,
This may sound odd, but I’m trying to get contact lenses in and out, however my eyes blink like crazy. 3 people, including my optemitrician, have tried showing me how to hold my eyelid open, however it’s impossible.
I’m 15 years old, and I’m wondering if I should keep on trying, or if I should just get surgery or something.
It’s really hard not to blink, I tried for literally 2 hours with my eye doctor.
Help?

Maxilos&Spinax asked: Me and my friend are making videos for youtube and were wondering if you can wear red or crazy design contacts even if you have perfect eyesight or will it damage our eyes.

lolwat asked: Use Nonprescription contact lenses?
I want to buy some crazy colored contacts off of amazon.
They do not change your vision, just the color of your eye, is there any risk?
