As you say, Kodachrome will never die (in spite of the fact that you cannot buy it or process it anymore)- but you are on the right track; different emulsions and dyes have differing shelf lives, and they are also effected more by light. A lot of the earlier slides were Kodachrome- they had cornered the market. As more companies joined in and a diversity of developing processes was initiated a diversity of shelf lives of the images was also introduced.

I have worn contacts, and found them to be most comfortable.  You cannot tell they are in there and with a little practice can get the hang of easily putting them in.  I used to feel the same way, thinking I would never be able to touch my eye.  Also just to let you know, my Grandmother started wearing contacts around 65 and to my knowledge never had aproblem.  She is now 71.  I think you will do fine.

I'm pretty sure that a contact lense prescription is good for only 1 year.

How long have you been wearing your current lenses?  Have you been disinfecting them properly (as your doctor instructed you)?  Are you using a different brand of contact lens solution?  Sometimes you can develop a sensitivity to a solution after you've used it for an extended period of time.  Consult an eye doctor (optometrist or ophthalmologist) you trust for more specific answers to your questions.

You need to throw that old solution out!! You are setting yourself for a really bad infection because the solution is not cleaning the lenses as it once did. I used old solution for 4 months after it expired and my lenses started becoming harder and harder to get out of my eye. Eventually one of my eyes ended up getting infected because the solution no longer had enough of the ingredient to cleans off the protein buildup. Yuck that was worse than pink eye! \n\nMy advice is to get rid of it and invest a few dollars in some fresh solution that has everything you need to maintain clean lenses and healthy eyes!

I don't know what you should do but your colour is beautiful. Maybe it's a little different from usual eye colour but it's okay. Besides, it also mean that you're unique because not many people have them.\n\nBut... if you don't like it that much, I guess you could always use contact lenses. :)

I don't have insurance, so i would stop wearing my contact lenses for a couple days and wear my glasses. If it doesn't hurt and gos away after a few days no big deal.  Otherwise if after a couple days it is still there or really bothers you go see a doctor, because some infections can cause irreversible vision damage.

Try changing the solution you use.  Try changing your contacts if you have the disposable ones.  If nothing else then go to your optomologist and see if your eyes have changed.

Contact lenses aren't harmful to wear as long as you follow your eye doctor's instructions very carefully. There are certain types that you can wear for long periods of time no matter what you are doing. Your eye doctor should be able to answer all of your questions about this issue.

Overnight Monthly-wear contact lenses. They're one-way oxygen permeable.

Contacts are hard to get used to if you haven't worn them ever or in a long time.  You need to gradually get used to them.  Wear them for 1 hour the first day, 2 hours the second day, 4 hours the third day and try for 6 - 8 hours the fourth day.  Also keep some saline solution (or whatever the contacts manufacturer recommends) handy and use it as often as you need to remoisten your eyes.  If after trying this, the contacts don't feel any better then take them in to the optomitrist and see what he/she recommends.

If you're wearing a silicone hydrogel lens (Proclear, Acuvue Advance, Acuvue Oasys, O2 Optix, or Focus Night & Day), depending on what your doctor told you to do, you're probably OK.  Not all of these lenses are approved for overnight wear, so you should make sure that your doctor has specifically told you that you can sleep in them.  Regardless of how long you're allowed to wear them, you need to be disinfecting them properly.  This is especially critical the longer you wear them.  Most solutions require at least 4 hours for disinfection, so make sure you aren't just rinsing your contacts and putting them back in.\n\nAs far as complications go, it depends on the lens and how much oxygen it transmits.  But here's the general idea.  The longer you wear your contacts, the less oxygen the front of your eye (the cornea) gets.  When the cornea is deprived of oxygen, it swells and thins out a little bit.  When that happens, bacteria and other pathogens can get inside and cause infections.  Eye infections can be very serious and can lead to blindness.  Also, new blood vessels can grow into the cornea to try to bring more oxygen in - this is not good and is a sign of more serious complications.\n\nEven though you're a new mother, properly caring for your contacts really requires maybe 2-3 minutes of your time each day.  Please follow your eye doctor's instructions about wearing time, disinfection, and replacement.  He/she is the expert and has prescribed that regimen for a reason - the health of your eyes and vision.

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.
