Are perscription sunglasses worth buying or are they just to costly and a waste of money? I would probably only need them for protection from the sun, and of course, what my perscription is already for.

It would depend on how much the sun really bothers your eyes, and I guess does it matter to you how you look.  You can always buy the clips that go on your prescription glasses, which would be way cheaper.

You can get glasses for myopia over the counter. Tesco, amongst others, sell them  and they have the maginification factor on a sticker.\n\nHowever, with eyesight, and the fact that your eyes may differ, it's best to consult an optician.

It's good to rest your eyes--at least try to take them out in the evenings.  I don't think it makes your vision worse, but it can affect your eye health as far as the cornea and infections etc. I haven't heard of the Renu problem, but there was a Bausch & Loumb recall.

I was able to order different styles from most of the major catalogs. Try Fisher. I think I bought a red pair from them that were pretty cool.\n\nAlso, try ebay. I just got 582 items when I searched on "safety glasses." Browsing through quickly, I saw quite a few that were kind of cool. Lot of dorky ones too, but you might be able to find something you like. Have fun!

Did you buy glasses? It sounds about like the price and description of two lenses. If your didn't buy glasses, you'd better ask them, maybe they made a mistake.

I work for a state agency and its against our uniform code to wear sunglasses when addressing the public (indoors or out).  Same goes for cops (sometimes they do wear them to be intimidating, but its within your rights to ask them to remove the glasses).  Therefore, I'd say its incorrect to wear them when talking to other people.  Unless there is a medical issue, of course.

No.\n\nThe FDA is just releasing a massive study of various supplements, and almost none of them work.  This one seems less plausible than most.  What about vision would be related to a supplement?  Your body supplies your eyes with what they need, we evolved that way.

I have very sensitive eyes and have never been able to wear my contacts over night.   A couple times I've fallen asleep with them in.  It wasn't a nice experience.  It might be because they are toric lenses too...  Careful you don't get some odd eye infection leaving them in too long.

LOL!  Slow down. =)  I've been wearing them since I was 13.  I'm 36.  They won't fall out, ever!  They won't melt in your eyes, ever!  You should remove them before going into a tanning bed, but regular laying out is no problem at all.  They won't cut your eyes either, BUT you have to follow your schedule precisely to work into them.  Your Dr. will tell you how to do this.  The reason is that if you wear them too long before your eyes have gotten used to them, it can cause a corneal abrasion...a scratch on the eye.  If that happens, it doesn't cause any long-term damage, and it heals in a few days, but it is incredibly painful.  The good news is that if you follow your schedule this won't happen.  It is more likely to happen in hard lenses than soft.  Most people can wear soft lenses.  As for things flying into your eyes:  It happens, whether you wear lenses or not.  It's not any more common for lens wearers than for non-lens wearers.  You can usually just work it out, but on ocassion you might have to remove your lens, rinse it off with saline, and put it back in.  No biggie.\n\nYou're not supposed to swim in them, but I always have and have never lost one.  It isn't advisable though.\n\nThe only real risk with contacts is if you just don't clean them, or if you wear a pair that isn't prescribed for you.  In either of those instances, you can end up getting an infection, and that can be serious.  In the eye, you can get such a serious infection that your sight is risked before you even feel it.  Now that I've scared you with the truth, let me say that I am not aware of a single case of this happening.  So rare that it's hardly worth discussing, but it wouldn't be honest to not mention it.  Just clean them as your Dr. prescribes, and they will become as much a part of your life as your earrings or mascara.  There's nothing to be afraid of, especially if you get the more comfortable soft lenses.

I was having them daily for a while about a year ago. At first I had no idea what was going on I thought I was going blind or something. The worst part about it is how fatigued you feel. It also causes serious issues with driving when you frequently have ocular migraines. I talked to an optometrist and found out extended amounts of physical activity can trigger an ocular migraine. I have since toned down my work out and haven't had an ocular migraine since.

Has it really been that bad of a day to be wearing sunglasses at 10pm? Wearing sunglasses at night is fun though!

At first they can be annoying since you may not be used to having things on your eye.  Hell, I wore mine backwards when I first got them becuase I didn't know what I was doing. But then once you get used to it, you won't even noticed that you have them in. Putting them in and taking them out takes just a few seconds, its easy.

When I don't have my glasses on. I can't see where they are to wear them.\n\nSo I always complain: where are you so I can wear you? And so it wears me out me to try to find where they are so I can wear them. I get so tired, that I need to drink glasses, and glasses (of water), before I realize that I have been wearing then all along.\nAnd, as a matter of fact, I've been wearing these, for over 15 years..So, one could say, they are pretty worn out.

I'd suggest getting the right prescription for your eyes regardless of cost..  If you don't, you won't be able to see clearly, and will also lead to headaches...\n\nTake it from someone who has bad astigmatism. ;)

I wear both.  Contacts are great for rainy days (so you don't have to deal with glasses foggin up or rain drops on your lenses) and sunny days (for sunglasses).  However, you put them in everyday and take them out everynight.  If you get one tiny (miniscule - as in you can barely see it without a microscope) scratch or rip, you will have to through it away.  And your contact could fall out at any blink (nothing is more fun than having 20 people on their hands and knees looking for something the size of a dime on shag carpet!). Contacts are definetly more expensive and your eye exam has to be done yearly.  Contacts can be painful if your eye gets irritated.  All in all glasses are a lot less hassle, but contacts are great to have too.  That's why I use both.

That sounds cool. No, I am alergic to the metal on the band so I don't wear them. Leather and plastic makes my arm itch too. So, I read the sun unless it is cloudy or night.
