• How to get rid of red marks over nose with glasses?

• Which will look better, full color sunglasses or gradient tinted?

  I think it should depend on how you look on them, but I think gradient tinted sunglasses are more fashionable and the arrangement makes the wearer more at ease by enjoying the better sunshade as well as the better vision acuity seeing through the lower part.

• Can I save my daily disposable contacts if I only wear them half day?

  It doesn't matter if you wear them for another 5 hours in the next day. I have worn daily contacts for two days without any issue. But they are made to be thrown away at the end of the day, You are risking your eye health by doing this. If you are unlucky, you may get infected. So be careful with it.
