BEWARE! This company has many names, such as 'Contacts1st', 'Lensdiscounters' & 'Opticontacts' (etc)... All companies are at the same address '1010 Niagara St, Buffalo, NY' ... So check the ABOUT, or CONTACT tabs on all possible websites, or just ASK THEM if they are part of the same conglomerate. THIS COMPANY IS BAD AND I AM ...

I am using contact lenses since the age of 20 and now I am 32 it means it has been twelve years now. I have tried loads of brands and out of them I find Dura soft weekly wear contact lenses best for me. I preferred to use weekly wear colourless contact lenses which are also called extended wear contact lenses. My eye consultant advised ...

I was diagnosed with a lazy eye when I was about seven and prescribed glasses for it. Being a typical seven year old my mum had a struggle on her hands to get me to wear them but she fought gamely and for the most part I did. However despite this I have ended up with my left eye being long sighted and my right short sighted. This meant ...

I've been wearing contact lenses since I was 13 years old, and it isn't just vanity it is about more than that, especially to a 13 year old girl. Personally I think it is a matter of confidence even if they don't make you look better they definately make you feel it, and they way you feel definately affects how you act and ...

I have been wearing glasses since the age of 11 for short sight. Without them I would climb on a fire engine instead of a London bus. Gradually, through the years, my short-sight has worstened, and consequently, so has the thickness of the lenses in my glasses. By the time I'd reached minus 8 strength, they were like the bottoms of bottles, ...

I have recently had a bad experience with an American online contact lens company called VISIONDIRECT.COM. At first glance, these American companies seem a better bet than the UK ones - cheaper prices (even including postage and packing), no prescription needed (if you are like me and tend to lose these things!) and a delivery time of 5-10 days. ...

How did I ever manage without these amazing little pieces of plastic called contact lenses? I am really short sighted and as a kid I used to have a lovely pair of pink NHS glasses. Do you remember those? Available in brown, pink or blue. Disgusting I think is the word I am looking for. I used to be a dancer and competitions and ...

I have had rapidly deteriorating eyesight since the age of 15. I can remember sitting in my GCSE maths class, squinting at the black-board, it was then l realised that l needed to go to see an optician. So off l went to Curtis Opticians, Carlisle Road, Londonderry, where l was told l was short sighted with a slight astigmatism in my right eye. So ...

Ever since I was a wee laddie I’ve been forced to parade around a pair of spectacles on my bonce, using only the power of the bridge of my nose coupled with a pair of slightly deformed ears. For 15 goddamn years, like a conjoined twin they have stuck to my face, never to be removed lest I be rendered blind to the world. Every morning I have ...

I started wearing contact lens about a year ago. Surprisingly, they were very comfortable-most people think it is like putting glass in your eye. (just for the record, contact lens’ are made from a special kind of rubber and water) I buy my contact lens on prescription, which means they are used so I can see better, not for me to have ...

Eyesight is a very strange thing. When I was an 8 year old who attended primary school, I had perfect eyesight. 11 years on, I have absolutely dreadful eyesight, and am wearing contact lenses. But my eyesight began to deteriorate when I was about 9. When my eyes were fine, at the time when I didn't need glasses, I used to almost feel ...

I can't say I prefer my contact lenses to my glasses but they do come in useful sometimes! I wear my glasses all day but because I work with a computer (all day!) I find that if I wear contact lenses my eyes dry out and get sore (nice thought!!!). So I have to wear my glasses for that. When I go out after two drinks I ...

http://www.allaboutvision.com/ I wanted to know whether I can swim whilst wearing contact lenses and found this site. It has masses of information about all kinds of vision products and problems plus a section where you can e-mail the Eye Doc with any specific questions. It's an unbiased site which doesn't promote any specific ...

Introduction This wonderful little invention has helped millions improve their visual potential and their use has been widespread, but it is important that people are fully informed of the risks before using them so they can make an informed choice of whether lenses are right for them. Using lenses automatically commits you to looking after ...

I've been wearing contact lenses now for over twenty years and despite the occasional time when you get dust in your eye and it hurts like hell I'm very glad I don't have to wear glasses all day. I was advised not to get lenses until I reached 16 and was delighted when I got my first pair, hard contact lenses at that time. ...

This website is an absolute must for all contact Lens wearers. They were originally established as a mail order company before the internet took off which explains why their customer service and order logistics run smoothly and are far more efficient than any other web etailer I have used. The main reason I use this site is of course the price, it ...

I've had contact lenses for 10 years and I think they're great. I'm very short sighted and have worn glasses since the age of 8. I've never really felt comfortable in them and just before I married decided to try contacts. I was surprised at how quickly my eyes adjusted to having contacts. I thought it would take weeks ...

I have worn contact lenses for over 20 years and think that they are fantastic. I have very poor sight, short sighted, and find that most years my eyes get weaker. I have glasses for night time and if my eyes are sore or tired, a very very rare occurence. I would not swap my lenses for the world as they allow me to have normal vision without ...

I started wearing contact lenses at the age of 14 because my eye specialist decided it would be the easiest way to slow down the deterioration in my eyesight. It did too. At 14, I was already wearing glasses for short-sightedness at a level higher than -6 in both eyes and in the years that followed they only got worse by 1 point. ...

I've worn contact lens for over 15 years now! First hard, and then gas permeable. I suffer from very dry eyes, so I need the most porous gas permeable lens available - the Quantum 2, which is expensive at 100 pounds a lens! However, I am in the Dolland and Aitchinson Contact lens care scheme, so I get 50per cent off when I need new ones - ...
