Additionally, if you don't take them out whilst sleeping, they crust in your eyes, making it very painful. (Better to break cheap glasses, then inflict personal injury) Then again, I hear all this as 2nd-hand information from my dad so it may not be correct. Is it true that eating carrots helps your vision? I know they are a good supply of vitamin D, but I didn't know they possessed magical healing abilities as well. Edit: I just googled it and it is the vitamin A in carrots which aids the restoration of your eyes which in turn makes your vision better. (but it does not improve it) However, the same site also suggests the benefits of Vitamin C and Vitamin E so I guess just eats lots of Salad and drink lots of Orange Juice! Lastly, I must compliment your extraordinary typing skills. | ||

Hard contacts on the other hand are REALLY uncomfortable, but they do keep your eye in place, which prevents them from getting worse. What you need to do is get away from your computer a while, go outside and enjoy the fresh air or something. Let your eyes have some rest from bright screens (TVs, Comp screens). | ||

As far as contacts, almost no one wears RGP lenses (the hard ones) anymore. Only if you have specific irregularities with your corneas would you require those. Do you know why you wear glasses? You should definitely see an eye doctor to find out if contacts work for you or if you can get lasik or some other laser surgery | ||

The only occasion that I can think of where contacts are necessary is sports, but then again you could always wear protective goggles.

Vitamin A for vision, but in fact carrots are beta carotene heavy, which is turned into Vitamin A, which is important for maintaining normal vision. However, this is just a myth because only a small amount of Vitamin A is needed to maintain good vision. All the excess Vitamin A you intake gets converted into other areas in maintaining a healthy body. | ||

Yeah the good thing about my glasses being broken is that I don't watch as much as tv or use the computer, and I really wanted to play sc this weekend. I hjope I Get a pair before school starts back up on monday, I can't se worth crap on the board. | ||

I honestly cant even feel them Im pretty sure you can get some trial contacts; just keep in mind, the first time you try and put them in its going to take at least 15 minutes. It will get faster and easier the more often you do it | ||

I hate wearing glasses because they just sorta get in the way or can fall off, especially if you sweat. I went until college without wearing them so it's a hard adjustment. I generally put them on for driving or looking at chalkboards etc and take them off for other things... but that can be a real pain in the ass when I'm not at work with a breast pocket for ez storage. I spent a lot of money on a contact lens exam, and experimented with them a bit, and came to the conclusion that I'm just kinda screwed. You see, I have a mild condition (note one of my first blogs) where my eyes produce a slightly improper amount of oil in tears, which means contact lenses are slightly uncomfortable. I can mostly get rid of the symptoms by doing a warm compress on my closed eye (5 minutes each) every night as a sort of treatment. But when I don't do that, the contacts become uncomfortable. I also know nothing about hard contacts... soft contacts aren't all that expensive though. My other problem is that I absolutely hate reading with corrective vision on (I only need glasses for distance reading). That's a pain for glasses, and a real pain for contacts since I am forced to read often (at work, on computer). I'm really afraid of any permanent treatment of the eyes though =( | ||

I don't recall because I only got some last season, but since I would be an 'occasional' wearer, they would be pretty cheap. It's possible if I ran through the numbers it would add up quickly for daily wearers. I think I got a box of 3 pairs for ~20 or 20 and change dollars. A pair of them if kept in the solution properly would last for two weeks' worth IIRC but talk to an eyecare office about that. | ||

I use soft and they are fairly expensive, but I dont have to really pay for them thanks to the government :D | ||
