How to make dark brown eyes look lighter?

Easy. This is how you could get lighter eyes. If you want a light brown, and don't want to go crazy with purple eyeshadows like some people Re suggesting, this is what you do. First, you put black eyeliner on your top waterline, and bottom. Black around your eyes really stands out brown eyes, causing an allusion to make them seem lighter. Also, you could wear a bashe/tan eyeshadow because it also pops out your brown eyes and makes them camafluage into a lightish tanish color. A few good tips that REALLY help, is to drink a lot of water, and eat carrots. Another one, is to be around green things. It may seem strange but I've noticed my friend with dark brown eyes' favorite color was green, and she always starred at it and admired it and had green objects all in her room, and the bright color your eyes get used to seeing forms camafluage pigments in your eyes, causing your eyes to be a really light brown. Her eyes almost look hazel, not only because of that, but because she changed her lighting in her house to flouresant, and drinks water and eats carrots. It really works. If you want hazel/green eyes, on your top waterline on your eye, get a green eyeliner pencil and apply it there. From away, people just see the green and your eyes look green, it also works better if you put it on your bottom waterline, because from far away and up close they look hazel when your brown eyes are in the middle and its surrounded by a light green liner. I promise this works. Your welcome :)

Can you wear contact lenses for long sightedness?

Of course you can, but I think you may only need them when you get older. Yeah, just like your father. And I strongly suggest you to get your dad bifocal contacts, which can be good for his eyes, for both distance vision and nearby vision. To be honest, you had better tell your father not to wear contacts. As your father is getting older and older, some of his eye functions also decrease with his age. If he wears contacts for a long time, it will be easy for him to get his eyes to be infected. Anyway, this totally depends on you.
