Contact Lenses

[Bethanie]

Yeah well my mum has finally gave in for me to get contact lenses.
My eye sight is bad and I refuse to wear glasses.
My appointment is on thursday at 3.25
Has anyone had them?
And what do they do in the fitting?

[Energizer]

yh i've got em and they're great. at the appointment they just tell you how to put them in and that i think. that's what they done at mine anywayz.

[Hazza]

Yeah, They are greatt. I got mine about a year ago now. In the fitting all they do is tell you which contact lense will be best for you and basically tell you how to put them in.

They are the best invention since sliced bread!:8

[Bethanie]

Lol! Thankyou guys =]

[lew!]

Lol, its ok if you get nice glasses, like if your under 1 then you can get discount on NHS.
But contact lenses do boost your confidance.. And in my first appointment, they looked at my eye and then the optician put one in my eye for me to show me whats its like, And then he takes it out for you.

Then on the second and you still want them, You go there and you have to put them in and out a few times before you can take them home.

Whats your eyesight actually like? + or -?

Mines -3.25 i think.

I wear them most of the time, soooo much better than glasses.
When I went to the opticians to get them, the optician but a weird orange dye in my eyes, not sure why, then put them in for me to see how they felt, and she took them back out for me again. Then I just had to put them in and take them out a few times by myself to show that I could do it.

[Ostinato]

I have them and love them!

The appointment will just be like a basic eye check but they will just see the type of contact that your eye suits so they can get them for you. For me, they just showed me how to put in / take out and let you practice a few times then you go away with contacts in for a couple of hours to see how you go!

By the way, having contacts can be a bit tricky for the first week or so as you won't be used to it lol. It kinda feels like you have an eyelash in your eye for a bit but once you just keep wearing you get really used to them and I don't notice them at all anymore!

There amazing

My mate was refused to have contact lenses because he couldn't put them in and when he got them in in the end they popped out again LOL
