Actually, they're more similar than you might think.  Any contact lens has to be prescribed by an eye doctor because contacts are technically medical devices.  Contacts come in many different sizes and fits, so your eye doctor has to select a lens that fits your eye properly and lets enough oxygen through.  If your contacts don't fit you correctly, serious damage to your eyes can occur.  What you mean by cosmetic contacts is probably colored contacts that don't have any power (prescription) in them.  These can be fit and prescribed by your eye doctor as well.

if you take care of your contacts, there shouldn't be any discomfort or side effects.  Every contact brand I have tried was ok.  I use the monthly ones, but i normally just wear them until they aren't comfortable any more.  They shouldn't fall out at all if you have the right RX for your eyes.

I would spend less time worrying about what other people think.  You aren't going to make everyone happy with you all of the time, and why should you care?  It is your money, you should be able to buy day glo blue contacts and wear them if you want to!

I've had them for over 20 years. \nTips:\nWash your hands before touching them.\nUse fresh solution every night. Scrub out the case once a week.\nIf you have disposables, wear them as directed, not longer.\nIf they aren't the kind you can sleep in, don't sleep in them--they'll stick to your eyes. If that happens, pour saline into your eyes until the contacts loosen.\nYou'll need to get a good pair of 100% UV sunglasses as your eyes are more senstitive to light with contacts in.\nIf you get an eye infection or pinkeye, go right to your medical doctor for the drops. You'll have to toss that pair of lenses and put fresh ones in when your eyes are better.\nDo whatever your eye care person tells you to do.

I don't think wearing contacts makes it worse. In an old wives tale, carrots made your vision better. You can get a lasar procedure to make you not have to use glasses or contacts!

dermatologists & plastic surgeons gets tons of samples from kinerase...make a friend at an office & i'm sure that they would hook you up...we have so much kinerase at my office, we can barely give the stuff away...and it really is some good stuff...all in little single serving sample packets!

If they are the same prescription they will work the same, but you see differently out of each, just give your eyes about a minute to adjust from one to the other.  ]\n\nI used to wear glasses, but I have wore contacts for about ten years now.  I don't like wearing my glasses anymore...only before bed-time!

i also have myopia and astigmatism and i've been wearing contacts since i was 12. the only visible diff. between toric contacts and the regular ones are the three lines near the bottom. they're about the same in comfort as the regular contacts... dry eye is the usual prob for me. but you get used to it. i got an extended wear pair that i change every 6 months.

I have had contacts for about 20 years and still remember first putting them in and taking them out. I have a real sensitivity to things coming close to my eyes, so it was a challenge. The only reason I got them in there was because I had wanted to go without glasses so bad. I had to chase myself around the room...it was pretty funny! There I was with a contact on my finger, pointing at my eye and I was running away from it. Once I got the contacts in though it was just a plain unreal experience, to see things clearly without looking through those "jail-cell bars" (frames) gave me a euphoric feeling. From then on it did get easier and easier to get them in and out...For the 20 years that I have had contacts I never had a problem. The only way that you can tell that they are in is by the way everything is in focus...Unless you have you have dry eyes, but there are drops and sprays for that. You really have nothing to worry about. Don't be a goof like I was. I learned that if I use one hand to hold my eye open and the other to put the contact in while I look away, it is no problem. Just keep in mind whatever the reason is that you wanted to get them in the first place and you'll be golden.

you can buy colored contacts with no correctiveness, but they're expensive. most any place that sells contacts has them

There is this direct sales company called Girls Night In.  It's very new and only has a few consultants.  They have some cool stuff for everyone (not makeup or skin care).  You may want to check out this website for more direct sales companies.  \n\nhttp://www.internetbasedmoms.com/direct-sales/

Maybe try a different brand of contacts?  I had some that were very painful and my doctor switched me to Acuvue 2.  I love them.  Contacts shouldn't be uncomfortable, but if you had corneal scratches then I wouldn't recommend going back to the old ones.  You could get a painful and dangerous eye infection from a scratched cornea.  Acuvues are very soft and they might be better for you.  Definitely do not keep the ones you have if they're bothering you, but also don't go back to the old ones.

look up as you pull them to the bottom of your eye... pull your bottom eyelid down with one hand and the with the finger tips of the other hand pull the bottom of the contact to the bottom eyelid and then pinch them and theyll come right out\n\nand to put them in look up and pull your eyelid (the top eyelid) up and then put the ontact on your fingertop and just pop it in ... dont be scared\n\nyoull get used to it\n\n\nwhen i first got contacts it took me 20 minutes\n\nand id be like YES i did it in 20 minutes im awesome\n\nnow i can do it in like 5 seconds\n\nit just takes time and practice\n\nyoull get used to it dont worry

I'm unfortunately not familiar with them, but if you're still doing your research, I can suggest a good resource. This website has info about breast augmentation and other surgeries, and also a nationwide directory of certified plastic surgeons:\n\nhttp://www.plasticsurgeryportal.com\n\nHopefully you'll also get some response on Elyzea, though, too. Good luck to you!

I prefer contact lenses because they reduce glare.  Glasses tend to get heavy after a while.  Although, glasses are fun to put on top of your head to hold the hair back out of your face.

It is OK, but it is highly recommended that your use the daily contact ones. Remove the old ones in order for your eyes to breathe. If you wear contact lenses for a very long time the water in your eyes might dry which will make it even harder for you later for wear any contact lenses.
