Where is the Cheapest place to buy contact lenses online?

Can eye contacts get stuck?
Contact lenses have come a long way since the glass lenses of old. with the introduction of silicone hydrogel materials contact lenses are less reactive than ever. there is no chemical or physical processes that can fuse the lenses to your eye, and the membrane covering the eye keeps anything from floating around to the side or back of the eye. The latter is less of a concern anyway since the shape of the lenses keeps them centered on your eye. They can become dried out which makes them very difficult to take out.
What are the cons of using special fx contacts?
Decorative contact lenses are often made from cheaper materials. They have a much shorter wear time than prescription lenses and let less air through to the eye. Also- they do not come in the same wide range of shaps and sizes as prescription lenses so you are less likely to find a comfortable fit. Only ever buy contat lenses from an Optical practice and never wear any lenses that haven't been fitted by an Optometrist or qualifies contact lens fitter.

Considering contact lenses Read on for helpful information you need to know.?
Contact lenses, also known as corrective lenses, cosmetic lenses, therapeutic lenses, or simply contacts, are used to correct deficiencies in vision. In many people, there is a disparity between the refractive strength of the eye and the length of the eye which causes a refraction error. A contact lens counteracts this mismatch and allows for accurate focusing of light onto the retina. Some conditions contact lenses can correct include myopia (near or short sightedness), hypermetropia (far or long sightedness), astigmatism and presbyopia. According to some estimates 125 million people use contact lenses worldwide (or 2 per cent of the population) including 28 to 38 million people in the United States and 13 million people in Japan. Compared to glasses, contact lenses are less disturbed by inclement weather, do not steam up, offer the wearer a wider field of vision, and are more appropriate for participating in sporting activities. Some people use cosmetic contact lenses in order to change the appearance of their eyes. Cosmetic contact lenses may also correct the wearer’s vision however some blurring or obstruction of vision may take place due to the color or design. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labels non-corrective cosmetic contact lenses “decorative contact lenses”. There are also differences in the length of use of different contact lenses. Daily wear contact lenses are designed to be taken out before going to sleep while extended wear (EW) contact lenses are developed for continuous overnight wear, usually for six or more consecutive nights (although some lenses, referred to as continuous wear (CW), allow for even longer use up to 30 consecutive nights). Generally, extended wear lenses are discarded after the specified length of time. Remember that your eyeglass prescription is different from the one needed to obtain your contact lenses. You will need to see a licensed eye doctor for an examination that will result in obtaining your contact lens prescription. U.S. law provides consumers the right to obtain a copy of their contact lens prescription and to fill that prescription at the provider of their choice. Roughly 5% of contact lens wearers each year suffer complications due to their contact lenses. The majority of these issues are caused or related to excessive wear of contact lenses, particularly overnight wear.

What are the best contacts if your eyes are getting really dry and blurry and you have astigmatism?
theres: Soft Toric Lenses - Toric lenses have two powers in them, created with curvatures at different angles (one for astigmatism, the other for either myopia or hyperopia). There's also a mechanism to keep the contact lens relatively stable on the eye when you blink or look around. To provide crisp vision, toric contact lenses cannot rotate on your eye RPG(rigid gas permeable) Lenses - Unlike hard plastic lenses, RGP lenses are gas permeable. That is, they allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. They are less expensive and more durable than soft contact lenses, and provide wearers with clearer, sharper vision. Unlike soft contact lenses, RGP lenses have a low water content and therefore, resist protein deposits and bacteria. Because they are rigid, they hold their shape when the wearer blinks, allowing for crisper vision. Other benefits include ease of handling and ease of care. Because they do not contain water, proteins from the eye do not build up on the lens, so the lens stays cleaner, and requires less maintenance. RGP's are not for every patient. Because of their rigid form, they require more break in time for the patient to become comfortable with wearing the lenses. Also, if you discontinue wearing your RGP lenses for a few days, it may be difficult to become used to wearing them again. RGP's differ from soft contacts in that becoming comfortable with wearing a rigid lens requires the patient to wear their lenses all the time. Soft contact lens users may discontinue wearing their lenses for a few days, and immediately be comfortable with having them inserted again.

How should I put my color contacts in?
For first-time colored contact wearers, Hamada says that it's best to start slow. "If you're a first-timer, it's best to wear them for less than five hours or what your eye doctor recommends Using tap water, bottled or even distilled water is never the substitute for contact lens solution." Tap water is not salty like tears are so contact lenses absorb the water and swell. Wash your hands thoroughly. Before you insert your contact lenses, it’s important to clean your hands to remove any dirt, hair, great, or bacteria that may infect your eyes. Open the contact lenses case. You should always leave your colored contact lenses in their storage case overnight. Place one lens on your index finger. Both your lens and your finger should be wet with contact-lens solution at this point. Make sure that the lens is clean.
Best hand soap for contact lenses wearers?
