Fuck contacts.
 

Just woke up and went to put them in like usual, except no matter which way I put my left one in, it still burned like a mother fucker. The right one went in fine and didn't hurt or anything. After about 7-8 times of taking the left one out, flipping it around and recleaning it, it still burned. So I took it out and put it in the case, and went to take the right one out but it was ------- stuck to my eyeball. Once I finally got it out it had already ripped in half, so I just took both of them and ------- threw them in the trash and put on my glasses. I'm through with contacts.

Any of you nogs experience problems like these?

yeah i used to sleep in mine for a week or two at a time because i hated putting them in. it sucks.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

what i do is put a few drops of the solution in the contact before i put it in my eye and it dont burn at all makes them more comfortable i have worn them for a month staright before

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

Mine don't burn at all when putting them in. Use some drops before removing them and they won't tear.

I'm super cheap so I make my 2 month pack last a year.

I have had mine since like 5th grade. I really don't see how people have problems with these things.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

I've never had problems with them before, it's always been a smooth process that took me about a minute or two. It's just that this morning apparently everything decided to go wrong, and before I knew it I was aggravated and was throwing my contacts away.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

I've never had a problem with them. If you take them out nightly and put them in solution, you shouldn't have any problems. Only time I've ever had burning contacts is either when they're way way way past their "recommended usage mark" or when I'm cutting up habaneros and don't wash my hands 20 times before removing the contacts.

I make my 6-pack of contacts last about 2 years and then I have to get a new exam when I try to get more. Only time I throw them out is when one gets damaged or I have them in for a half year and they start burning :)

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

i was never able to get them on, got tired of it, so i just wear my glasses. 8)

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

i haven't taken mine off for about 3 months now and never have any problems getting them in or out or drying out. can hardy tell their there most of the time. wich reminds me i should take them out and clean them just in case.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

the problem i have is it sticks to my finger even if its soaked... some times it burns ...i've noticed if after waking up i put them on it burns more...soo i usually wait a while hour or so ???

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

I've had contacts since like the 5th grade. I've had some probs before with them burning my eyes like you described.. and i'd just change em out and put new in, because they were just getting old.. or sometimes they can infect your eye.. in which case you should wear ur glasses for a few days to let em rest. If it occurs again, try a different brand of contacts.. i had to try 3 or 4 different brands before I found a brand that was comfortable.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

Like I said mine usually only burn when they get really, really old. When you get new ones you'll notice they're a lot more flexible than the old ones.

And yes, you can get an infection or worse from not cleaning them or using them too long. I've heard of people having to get them surgically removed after they've had them in too long, and I believe it after leaving mine in for a few days they become noticeably more difficult to remove.

Acuvue Oasys (how it's spelled lol) ftmfw! Gotta be with Hydraclear too. They have the highest water content out of any lenses and are incredibly comfortable. I take mine out before bed every night though. ---- will stick to my eyelids if I sleep in them.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

i use to take them out everynight for awhile, and i remember a couple times it burning a little but goign away. but for the last like 4 years i just leave them in till its time to put a new pair in. so around a month. everyonce in awhile ill put some contact sollution in my eye.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

Never had to many problems with mine, but if I take a hot shower with them in they stick to my eyeballs like glue.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

had mine since the 6th grade and in the last 2 years i had some nasty eye allergies flare up and i have switched around between about 4-5 types of contacts. im using dailys now because the 2 week ones would only last less then a week because they would get all fogged up from the allergies. also got 2 staff infections in my eyes since then cuz i always ---- with my eyes, those are real fun.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

Yeah I went in yesterday and he told me that I had "allergens" in my eyes and to use these drops for 5 days and come back. I think this brand of contacts just sucks, but I already bought 6 months worth of these.. :1

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

Brush your teeth after you put in your contacts. Took me forever to realize why my contacts were burning. Turns out left over oils from the toothpaste weren't getting all the way washed off before I put in my contacts. I started brushing afterwards and the burning stopped

lasik

---- glasses and contacts

i got lasik ddone a year ago and its ------ amazing, 20/15 vision... better than perfect

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

Same thing here! Next step laser operation :y

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

hand soap, toothpaste, oil from your face, tap water all causes burnings.

And how do u guys wear them for months without taking it off :o , I would be blind if i do that coz ---- will dry up after like 12 hours and my eye will be tired as ----

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

How much was lasik for you folks and did insurance cover any of it?

Next company I'll (hopefully) be working for has free insurance with $0 premiums from bluecross, it'd be sweet if it was covered even partially. I'm just worried about getting someone that's not "good" or have less than optimal results. At least with contacts I can get a new exam or prescription, you're stuck with that for life.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

its was 2400 for me and no insurance didnt cover it, its considered "cosmetic". ------- bullshit if you ask me but god damn it takes 5 minutes and the laser/operation is done. 2-3 days later and your seeing like a hawk

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

do you know that you WILL REQUIRE glasses later on in life

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

did i mention clearly lasik offers lifetime enhancments for like 300 more.

id rather not wear glasses untill i need somnbody to whi[e my own ass mmkthx

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

Lasik here start at 490$/eye, but I don't know how it can cost total... When I finish school I'll go there for sure!

I always scratch my glasses after a month or two... Insurance pay for lasik partialy. Could be interesting.

Re: Fuck contacts.
 

My eye wouldn't be tired, but after a day or two they would be damn near impossible to get off.
