America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses (Portland,OR 97204)

• How to make my ski goggles fit better?

  If the strap can be loosened, try that. If there is nothing you can do for it, take it back to the place where you bought them and ask the staff there to adjust it. Otherwise you need to get a new pair.

• Is there any permanent solution for eye allergies?

  I think the eye allergy won't go away until you find the true cause of this allergy and avoid it as much as possible and take preventive measure to it. There is no permanent solution for eye allergies.

• Are Extended Contact Lenses really safe to use?

  When you wear extended contacts for a long time, potentially dangerous microorganisms can adhere to the lenses and get trapped between the lenses and your eyes. These microbes thrive in the warm, moist environment under your contact lenses, especially when your eyelids are closed during sleep. And because contact lenses reduce the oxygen supply to your corneas, your eyes are less able to fight off infections. So many doctors began encouraging patients to always remove their contacts before sleep.

• Why do I have blurry vision when using too many allergy eye drops?

  Most over the counter eye drops contain preservatives and using it excessively may a rebound effect. You can try to use cold ice bags to numb your eyes for comfort. The problem should go away later. If it still exists, you need to see the doctor.

• Is it ok to use allergy eye drops during pregnancy?

  First, you should try to relax, anxiety and stress are not good for the baby. There should be no big deal to use eye drops. If you are quite worried about this, go to the hospital and have an exam to make sure the baby is all right.

• Do extended wear contact lenses also have different colors?

  NO, extended contacts can't come in different colors. Because the extended wear lenses should have high oxygen transmission levels and enable our eyes to breath more, but with colors, they can't. So they won't accept the colors.

• Can I wear Ski Goggles over prescription Glasses?

  Yes. A lot of companies make OTG (over the glasses) type of goggles, but they are not convenient to use. Why don't you choose prescription goggles? They offer more convenient and effective solution and sharpen much of the clarity that can be lost between two separate lenses.

• Do I have to remove contact lenses before using allergy eye drops?

  You should put the eye drops at least 5min before wearing contacts. Most eye drops contain preservatives and the pharmaceutical agent which may get stuck in the lens over time. So you should not use eye drops when wearing contacts.
