• Contact Lenses will disappear if be pushed too far into the edges of the eye?

  YES.It is possible.But you should never try to push them.It may cause irritating to your eyes.

• Is there anyway I can get contact lenses without having a doctor prescription?

  It is illegal to sell contacts to anyone in the USA without a valid prescription by US federal law carrying a $10,000.00 fine for each offense. So I guess there is no way to get them.

• Do colored contact lenses affect vision when only use for fashion?

  If you wear them occasionally and keep them clean,it will not affect your vision. I have seen many girls use that for beauty without any problem. Don't worry.

• Is it true to make your contact lenses milky white by drops of milk?

  It is really an unusual but wonderful thinking.You can have a try if you are not afraid of ruining your contacts.

• Do I need to wear glasses while watching TV?

  For your prescription, it is not that necessary for you to wear glasses while watching TV, but if you really have problems while watching TV, you can buy yourself one which is only used for TV. It is possible that your vision will get worse if you wear glasses all the time.

• Can I still get lasik surgery to correct my vision if I have high eye pressure?

  Yes, in some instances it is possible for a person with glaucoma to have Lasik surgery. This is depends on many factors, and for glaucoma patients, you should consult carefully with your surgeon, at the meanwhile they will tell you all the risks. Patients should take a careful consideraton about all the risks and make his own decision.

• Should I take off my makeup before taking out of my contacts?

  Of course the contacts should be removed first. If you take off the makeup first,the dirt may come into your eyes and adhere on the surface of contacts. Your eyes would get infected easily.

• Has anyone gone directly to wearing contact lenses without wearing glasses first?

  Yes you can. But you need to get an eye exam for contacts and lens fitting first to make sure there won't be any problem to wear contacts.
