Questions about contact lenses?!
Question: Questions about contact lenses?
So anyways, here are my questions:
- (If they do) How do optometrists measure your eye?
- If they do measure your eye, does it hurt?
- How long do regular ( as in no color ) contact lenses last? (If your nearsighted and you wear them from 12 hours to 16 hours a day from 5-7 days a week)
- How much do they cost? (On average or for you)
- Do you have to be a certain age to have contact lenses?
- How do you prevent contact lenses from folding in half while you wear them? My sister's friend wears contact lenses and when she was playing Guitar Hero, her contact lens folded in half.
- How do you prevent getting germs in your eyes? My Mom says that you can get eye diseases or something from wearing contacts? Something like that...
Please answer my questions, thanks(:
Have a happy Valentines Day!

Hi there,
Not sure if I can answer all of your questions, but I can try...
Don't be scared of the eye doctor, all you do is look at a spot on the wall while they shine a small flashlight type light at your eye... It is easy and painless.
They will also do an eye chart test and some other painless tests, believe me... Not bad at all!
