Is there such a thing as clear theatrical (non prescripiton) contact lenses?

My lil cousin (15 yo) wants them. Why? I dunno. Its her birthday present. I asked her if shes sure and she said she was.Could you tell me where i could get them if they do exist? maybe a link and price?Is there such a thing as clear theatrical (non prescripiton) contact lenses?
She means non prescription colored lenses.





It isn't as easy as going out and buying some though. She needs an eye exam and a fitting done at an optometrist office.





Contacts are a medical device and controlled by federal laws....because they aren't toys and can cause damage to peoples eyes if not properly fit and taken care of.Is there such a thing as clear theatrical (non prescripiton) contact lenses?
She probably wants contact lenses that have a design on them. It comes in nonprescription, clear lenses. However it is stupid to wear contacts if you dont need them because you can develop a serious eye infection which can cause BLINDNESS.


You need to search online for stores that carry them.
They definitely exist -- we use clear contacts with no prescription as 'bandage' contact lenses occasionally. I'm not sure where you'd buy a set of them though, or why you'd want to. Presumably anywhere that sells contacts should be able to order them from their suppliers with no prescription?

  • I accidentally dyed my clear contact lenses brown with tea recently (don't ask!) any idea how i can undo this?

    I have been wearing contact lenses for almost 49 years. One of the best things I learned many years ago was an inexpensive way to clean hard contact lenses. It is not used for soft contact lenses. You use baby shampoo. You dilute it about half and half. I soak my lenses in this every night when I take my lenses off. Baby shampoo does not burn your eyes. In the morning, the smudges are completely gone off of your lenses. I would surely try this to remove the tea stains. If this does not remove the tea stains, I would not wear the lenses.I accidentally dyed my clear contact lenses brown with tea recently (don't ask!) any idea how i can undo this?
    Try Hydrogen Peroxide. It gets tea stains out of cups and is non-toxic. I would rinse it out thoroughly afterwards though.I accidentally dyed my clear contact lenses brown with tea recently (don't ask!) any idea how i can undo this?
    you cant. you have to get new ones. if you put those back in your eyes, then you probably will get a major eye infection, in BOTH eyes. i would just cut my losses.
    Don't even think of wearing it anymore in the first place. Are you insane? You wanna go blind then savage a pair of lens?
    step away from the contact lenses!


    Throw them away. Never never never fool around with your eyes like that. I learned the hard way that if you are not extremely careful with what you put in your eyes (I wasn't as careful with cleaning them as I should have been), and now I am no longer able to wear contact lenses due to microscopic scabs under my eyelids. (feels like a piece of grit that never goes away)


    Take great care of your eyes, and use caution with contact lenses!
    i am not sure you can undo it. and i'm not sure what the effect of tea is in your eye. can you still put them in? do they look funny? I would replace them, if they are disposables.
    are you sure that was a accident ? what happened you were having breakfast and accidentally dropped it in your tea and decided to retrieve it after you finished your meal?
    you can't! buy new ones!
    It might soak out in the saline solution, but I doubt it, the tannins in tea are a strong dye. It is probably permanent. Try it in your eye, after you soak it, if it doesn't block your vision, it might be OK.Probably best to just pitch them. Lenses do come in colors. They are dyed by professionals, hint, hint.. LOL, Rivers is fishing for information on how in the world your lenses came in contact with tea.


    Come on, tell us. We are all anonymous here, poopsiegig.
    ok, you say dont ask... but im soooooo intrigued as to how you could possibly do that!!!
    don't wear them anymore..they are no good
    make a solution of bicarbonate of soda (you can get it in the supermarket with the home baking products) and soak it in that. Make it quick thick, almost a paste but make sure its not still grainy. Rinse it well afterwards, bi carbonate of soda is harmless to humans but I still recon that it would smart, like anything else, if you got it in your eyes.


    (PS I AM asking???)
    Dip them in dilute 'steriliser' - that is bleach used for baby's bottles. Then give them a prolonged soak in water before wearing them.

    Hi, I wear contact lenses and I'm intrigued to know how you managed to put your lenses in tea!!!! Were you a little bit out of it? Brahms %26amp; Liszts? LOL
    Don't trust us Yahoo's for something like that-call the optometrist and see what they say about it.
    Trust me... I have done this also [you can ask if you want to]..





    I was advised to use bleach... yup... that's what I thought... but it actually works!





    Make sure that you wash them clean with a saline solution after though and then rinse them with distilled water.
    um...throw it away
    For the sake of your vision,don't even try!


    Chuck 'em out, start again.


    A tip? The little pot that has two receptacles, one possibly marked with R and one marked L or with a heart symbol, is the one that is ok to put the lenses in. The bigger pot, that can be hot to the touch and has a handle and steam coming out of the spout, not recommended for soaking contact lenses.

    Will an image be clearer through a telescope if the lenses have a shorter or longer focal length?

    My sis needs it for a science report :)Will an image be clearer through a telescope if the lenses have a shorter or longer focal length?
    For a given lens diameter (aperture), less precision is needed in grinding the lens if the focal length is longer. Therefor, it is more expensive to get the same clarity with a shorter focal length. If you pay the same money for two lenses, the one with the longer focal length probably makes a sharper image. However, the cost of the whole telescope may be more because it needs a longer tube.





    You get more magnification by having an objective lens with a long focal length and an ocular lens with a short focal length.





    Most astronomical telescopes use a mirror instead of an objective lens because mirrors don't have as many kinds of aberrations as lenses do.

    Is it normal to continously go from clear to blurry vision with toric contact lenses?

    I've been wearing toric contact lenses for astigmatism for 3 years now. The new eye Dr I saw recently made some changes to the prescription, and now the new lenses cause my vision to go from clear to blurry all day long. Sometimes it will be one eye, then it will be the other, but it never stabilizes. He is certain he got the prescription correct, but this is really annoying. Can something be changed to the Rx (such as the fit) to make my vision more consistant?Is it normal to continously go from clear to blurry vision with toric contact lenses?
    Sounds like the lenses are maybe rotating more than they should and going off axis at times when you blink .





    Torics are very difficult to diagnose what the problem could be without actually seeing them on the persons eyes.





    Did he switch brands or base curve from what you always had ? If one of those were changed, that opens a whole new can of worms....lol





    Your Doc has all the info and what changes he made...there really isn't an obvious solution that can be found without actually seeing them and knowing the history.





    ****





    There ya go...changing the axis 20 or 30 degrees looks like the culprit. Most likely the lenses don't center well anymore and rotate to a wrong axis now. But they should be able to see that while you are wearing them on your follow up visit...

    If i wear contacts lenses in the pool, will i be able to see clear like goggles?

    Nobody ever stars me anymore :(If i wear contacts lenses in the pool, will i be able to see clear like goggles?
    No It would probably burn like hell.If i wear contacts lenses in the pool, will i be able to see clear like goggles?
    no they would fall off, and your eyes will burn!
    Well I was about to star you until I saw that last bit. Go beg some one else.
    No, The chlorine in the pool will damage them, and burn your eyes. After getting in the pool with them, you'll still have to have your goggles....to look for your lenses...they'll be long gone.





    OK here's a star. * lol
    The thing is that lenses aren't recommended for pools. They can slip out of your eyes. When you keep eyes open. And if you keep your eyes shut - you can see nothing.
    unless you wear goggle your contact lenses will float away, but I don't think TROLLS wear contact enses
    nope -- they will most likely lost....
    Could lose em, under the water.
    There's a good chance your contacts will detach and simply float away.





    I wore contacts while swimming in the Pacific once....a wave knocked one of my contacts right off! I was laughing until I realized it was a problem.
    nooooooooo... do not open your eyes under water with contacts in...they will come out.
    No you won't. Don't wear your contacts in a pool because the chemicals in the pool damage the contacts.
    no

    On a hot, dry day, set them on something black outside. This should evaporate all the water.

  • Transition Lenses, do they go back to clear or are the still light grey?

    I have just received an order direct from the U.S. and I cannot tell if I have been provided with genuine Transition lenses or an inferior photocromatic lense, is there any way to tell? The ones I have still look grey in the shade.


    ?Transition Lenses, do they go back to clear or are the still light grey?
    do not get them they suck because they are so annoying they're always changing and i really don't like them


    but whatever floats your boat-they do go back 2 claer unless you have ordered naturally tinted onesTransition Lenses, do they go back to clear or are the still light grey?
    my father has them....they go back to clear....but it takes MUCH longer for them to go back to clear than it takes for them to get dark
    I have them. They go back to clear. Did you order tinted transition lenses? if not, contact the company and/or request they replace the lenses.

    I carelessly sprayed top clear coat on my headlight lenses. How to remove?

    I was coating my bumper with Dupli-Color clear coat when I accidentally gave a shot on my left headlight lens. I quickly wanted to use a cloth to wipe it. Still it left a haze on the lens. I tried Windex, Alcohol and dish detergent, couldn't get the haze away. Help !





    BTW, is the coating corrosive ?I carelessly sprayed top clear coat on my headlight lenses. How to remove?
    You can try buffing it out or use oil base paint thinner like varsol (not lacquer paint thinner,too corrosive), with some hard scrubbing will remove the clear coat. You can try lacquer paint thinner but test it first on a piece of plastic. If it dulls the plastic, don't use it. Or you just leave the headlight lens alone. the clear coat will peel off sooner or later. Or you can go to auto body shop for clear coat remover.





    don't forget to cover the other head light before painting.I carelessly sprayed top clear coat on my headlight lenses. How to remove?
    You can try paint stripper. It comes in a spray can, but be careful with it. Its powerful stuff. It would probably work on headlights.

    Of course it's okay, but just never wear colored contacts to sleep even if they don't bother you they will mess up your eye and take away the oxygen that goes to your eye and cause damage. But evetyday wear is fine just no sleeping with them.. Hope you like your new lookContact lenses?is it ok to wear them even though my vision is clear,wear them,just for the nice color?
    OK to wear contacts just for the color... just remember, our bodies are resilient and built to withstand pressures from all sorts. If your eyes start to bother you, then something must be going wrong.





    Skip the Ipod, it's a waste of money. You can get a cheaper MP3 player as low as $19.99 just about anywhere.
    There is no problem in doing this. They do make colored contacts that do not correct vision in any way. Merely cosmetic.
    Why not? I saw this girl with red contacts once. It was very startling and I liked it. Try whatever color you think would be fun.
    they have contact lenses that are non-prescription and have just the colors on them, get the damn iPod...I have the same one and I love it...they have these new ones that are different colors, I dont understand the phone question, but if u like it then get it.
    It's ok to wear them as long as you don't get perscription ones. Make sure you follow the directions cause your veins in your eyes can become attached to the lens after a long time in use.





    don't know about an ipod, so not willign to spend any. I have a radio and cd player need nothign else.





    as for phone I have nokia 1100 because it's cheap and I don't talk on the phone. I go to work and come home. I just have the phone for it's original intent. Safety!

    Who makes the Clearest sunglass lens?

    I know most companies claim they have the clearest but who actually does? Any links to unbiased comparisons of sunglass lenses?





    I would say some of the clearest would be Oakley, Maui Jim, Rudy Project, Kaenon, and Costa Del Mar 580 lens.Who makes the Clearest sunglass lens?
    this is a bike question why?





    wleWho makes the Clearest sunglass lens?
    I'd probably say the manufacturers you already listed on a general level.





    It can vary with individual models and how they're used though.





    With the Oakley models for example, if you're exercising and the lenses are getting smudged from sweat, they're not exactly clear, even if they may be great in normal situations. I'd swear by Oakley's hydrophobic lenses for such things instead.





    And someone like Kaenon makes every single lens hydrophobic. They don't have quite the lens and frame options though, so if you're in settings where the lens isn't dark enough, etc., you won't exactly find it ';clear'; in practical terms.





    Anyway, for exercise purposes (like running and biking) I quite like Oakley's models like the Flak Jacket and Radar. All lenses are hydrophobic, and lenses can be swapped out for situation. There are a couple other Kaenon models I prefer for more ';fashionable'; settings, but as nice as the lenses are, I don't find them as useful on a practical level for athletic activity. I know some swear by their Kore and Hard Kore models for biking -- I think their C28 lens can be popular, especially if you're going through shaded areas at times or mountain biking. It's also a polarized lens, unlike Oakley's G30, but probably more comparable to Oakley VR28 polarized in light transmission, etc.





    Though there can be somewhat objective measures of lens clarity, it's also going to vary with how you're using things, too, when you get to a practical level.
    i believe oakley has the best clarity

  • WHICH ARE BETTER CONTACT LENSES: ACUVUE OASIS OR CLARATIN CLEAR?

    WHAT DO YOU THINK??





    the contact lenses!!!!!!WHICH ARE BETTER CONTACT LENSES: ACUVUE OASIS OR CLARATIN CLEAR?
    It really depends on where you buy it... and if it fits your prescription.





    If you just called in or bought in online without filling in your prescription...neither.








    Edit. I can't believe a top contributor and another person copied me...





    %26gt;%26gt;About your latter question, my pick would be Acuve Oasis!WHICH ARE BETTER CONTACT LENSES: ACUVUE OASIS OR CLARATIN CLEAR?
    Neither are better...or worse.





    It depends which one happens to be the best fit and vision for you.





    The Oasys is great for some people but terrible for others...just like every other brand.





    EDIT ************************





    As you can see by the answers wiseguy...assuming that one is better doesn't make any sense.





    There is no such thing as better. The same lenses don't work for everyone.





    If any one brand was always better, then the other brands wouldn't exist anymore.
    it depends on your eyes, and what you feel. some brand of contacts can be perfectly comfortable for one person, and torturous for another. you really just have to try them out to see what works for you.

    My contact lenses dilemma? it aint so clear compared to wearing glasses? normal?

    i just got my eye tested and bought a month supply of contacts.. i put that on it really wasnt that clear compared to wearing my glasses... in fact it was a lil blurry i cant make out the site add on my com screen about a meter away but is totally fine with my glasses..but funny thing everytime i yawn my eyes start to tear up i get a lil clarity but got back to normal soon after? not enuf moisture or am i just new to this? thanks!My contact lenses dilemma? it aint so clear compared to wearing glasses? normal?
    I don't get near perfect vision with contacts. I wear one in my left for close up vision and one in my right for distance. But its always a bit blurry, I think it's probably normal. If they are so blurry you can't read, you should apply rewetting drops because they will get especially blurry if they start to dry out.My contact lenses dilemma? it aint so clear compared to wearing glasses? normal?
    well your eye dr should have made you 'test drive' a pair before writing you a perscription. maybe they are too thick for you. Some are. like Oasis. I use acuvue 2. Been wearing contacts for 20 years. never a problem. It may take a while before you get used to them. of course you may have too weak a perscription. Take them out and clean them, or just get a new pair. If after a week it doesnt get any better go see the dr for a new script.
    Today just about everyone can wear contact lenses, and there are more healthful and convenient contact lens options than ever before. Contact lenses are used to correct the same conditions that eyeglasses correct. For all details, information and remedies about contacts check out http://use-contactlens.blogspot.com/

    Do glasses give clearer vision than contact lenses?

    If the contacts are coming from my actual opticians, in the post, etc... IS IT FACT that glasses are BETTER than contacts?Do glasses give clearer vision than contact lenses?
    Not always, it depends on the prescription in your eyes. If you have astigmatism, then glasses will give you better and more stable vision as a contact lens can rotate a little in your eyes and so the vision can often fluctuate. If you have minimal astigmatism, then contact lenses can often give you vision as good as your glasses.





    With rigid gas permeable lenses, your vision can often be better than in glasses as the firm shape of the lens allows your tears to mask any irregularities in the front surface of your eye (cornea) and hence give you sharper vision.Do glasses give clearer vision than contact lenses?
    It's a personal fact for me. I've has so many problems with contacts, irritation, dryness, not being able to use them when I need them.





    I've always hated glasses, now it's my only choice.





    Then I began to notice that all my eye doctors were wearing glasses, so to me that says something. If they wear glasses and not contacts then there is a good reason. Good enough for me because now that I use my glasses I haven't had any of the problems that I had with contacts and my vision is clearer.
    Hmm well.... Glasses you don't have to shove anything onto your eye and you still get clear vision... With your contacts, you poke yourself in the eye, making it water and burn... but clearer vision. And it varies from person to person... it depends on what you like more... everyone has their own preferences. Good luck!

    I've been having problems seeing clearer and/or sharper with contact lenses, should I see a different doctor?

    I don't seem to have luck with Coopervision contacts. Doctor says I have astigmatism and Acuvue doesn't make a contact with the power I need and Coopervision's the leader in toric lenses. In other words my power is too high for Acuvue. Always feel I need my glasses for clearer, sharper vision, but I really want to wear contacts.I've been having problems seeing clearer and/or sharper with contact lenses, should I see a different doctor?
    YOU MUST TAKE ANOTHER OPINION. MAY BE THAT THE FIRST DIAGNOSIS WAS WRONGI've been having problems seeing clearer and/or sharper with contact lenses, should I see a different doctor?
    If you have very high astigmatism, soft contacts will rarely give the quality of vision that you can get from glasses. What usually works better is an RGP (hard contacts) which will often give better vision than both soft contacts and glasses. You just have to get used to them.

    Clear Care contact lenses solution stinging my eye help?

    So the other night I put my contacts lenses in the Clear Care case that came with it and left it there for 6 hours (as said); I was out of regular solution so i just filled my regular case (not the clear care one) with the clear care solution. The next morning; I tried putting my contacts in my eyes and it RIGHT AWAY it stung SOOO MUCHH; the pain was unbearable. So that afternoon I bought the opti free regular solution and replaced it in my regular case. So the DAY after ( this morning ) I tried putting it in and RIGHT AWAY it didnt sting but a couple seconds later it was that pain again (not AS worst).





    Should I RE do the clear care 6 hour process again and see if it goes back to normal ?





    HELPP;


    Are my contacts lenses ever going back to not burning my eyes?


    l:Clear Care contact lenses solution stinging my eye help?
    Clear Care is a hydrogen peroxide system. Hydrogen peroxide is the stuf you sometimes use to disinfect cuts. It stings a little when you pour ir on your skin so I can imagine how much it hurts when it goes in your eye. If you use the correct case, the hydrogen peroxide turns to water and oxygen over night.You should never rinse your lens with Clear Care after it has been disinfected. You should never use another case with your Clear Care. Used properly, Clear Care can be one of the best systems. They try to give you as many warnings as possible. They even make the top of the bottle red so you can see what color your eye will be if you use it wrong.Clear Care contact lenses solution stinging my eye help?
    i accidentally used my sister's clear care to rinse my contact off just the other week.


    rinse your contacts off with regular solution, use some eye drops in your eyes (like one that gets rid of red eyes or something) and keep your contacts out for the rest of the day in a regular solution. then tomorrow, rinse your contacts off and see if it feels better





    if you don't want to wait a whole day to make your eyes feel better, i just left them out for a few hours and they felt fine afterward.





    hope that works
    I would do the Clear Care process again making sure it neutralizes the solution this time. Leave them in all night in that case with the neutralizing disc. Your contacts probably still have some of that Clear Care solution on them since it didn't neutralize in that regular case. That could be why they are still stinging.
    The clear care should be used ONLY with the disk that came with it. You have to get another solution such as Opti free (green box) that comes with a different case in order to temporarily store contact lenses in. ONLY use the clear care at night while you are sleeping.

    if you must then check out evilbayI'm looking for Women's Oakley sunglasses with clear frames and pink rainbow shiny lenses. Can anyone help me?
    Given Oakley readily does lots of custom stuff, that description could be almost anything. You'd probably have to browse their website, and even then they might not be something current.





    I might suspect one of the recent Frogskin collector's models. There's one that's clear with violet iridium lenses for example, but it's going to be a little hard to find.





    Any more info you can provide would help. For example, if the frame outright said ';Oakley'; on it and that's how you're sure it's Oakley, then it's indeed likely the Frogskins. Most Oakleys just have an ';O'; these days.
    I think it's a custom made sunglasses that you are describing or either a frogskin type. If you want you can get your sunglasses custom made then.

    Only because if you use them for cosmetic reasons, you probably aren't responsible and won't take care of them. I had one pair, once. It was cool, but I can't afford cosmetic enhancements.

    you said you have high-index transition lenses? How high is your perscription? I know that sometimes has a little to do with how fast the lenses change color. Also I've seen transition lenses slow down because of the temperature (extreme cold) but I'd give them some time. It takes a little time to ';break them in'; If you still have this problem take them back to the optical you got them from. Also, don't expect the lenses to work like sunglasses in the car. Car windows filter UV, and it's the UV that causes the lenses to darken! I hope this helps!Aren't transition lenses(with prescription) supposed to be as clear as regular prescription lenses?!?
    I love my transition lenses, but they do have a slight tint all the time, as the years go on they will gradually remain darker.

    Has any one heard/seen of sunglasses with white lenses. I dont mean clear i mean white like paper.?

    Im looking for a pair of sunglass with white lenes instead of black lenens. White like paper white. Has any one seen a website with them on it or anything. ThanksHas any one heard/seen of sunglasses with white lenses. I dont mean clear i mean white like paper.?
    No, never.





    Closest I've seen to what you're describing is mirrored sunglasses.





    I'm not sure what you're describing is even possible. To appear to be white, the glasses would have to reflect light at all wavelengths. I don't see how you would be able to see out through them.Has any one heard/seen of sunglasses with white lenses. I dont mean clear i mean white like paper.?
    The pair on this page seems to have white lenses: http://www.gonesurfing.com/store/itemid=鈥?/a>

    Do I need a different precription from clear contact lenses to coloured contact lenses?

    I've previously had coloured contacts yrs ago, but got them through Specsavers (was well expensive!!) but now I want to buy them online as they're so much cheaper these days!! I know a lot of websites don't send to you unless you have a current prescription for that specific type of lenses ie coloured, dailies, monthly etc but that's a chance I'm willing to take as I have a precription at the mo with Specsavers for monthlies. Anyway my question is will my precription for coloured lenses be different than my normal one for clear monthlies? Thanks in advance guys!Do I need a different precription from clear contact lenses to coloured contact lenses?
    The prescription for clear ones is the same for colored ones. The script has to be less than a year old or they wont take it. If it is more than a year old the script is invalid and no one will fill it.

    How long will it take to see clearer with contact lenses?

    I got contact lenses for the first time last Friday. I have been wearing them according to the schedule they gave me. However, I'm still not seeing as clearly as I did with my glasses. How long will it take for my eyes to adjust - or is it possible that they messed up my prescription?





    I have astigmatism, but they said that I could wear either normal lenses or toric lenses. I'm going back to the eye doctor on Saturday, so if there is a problem, they will be able to take care of it then.How long will it take to see clearer with contact lenses?
    To everyone who says they don't make normal lenses for astigmatism...





    You're wrong. They ARE starting to make them.





    Now to the asker...





    It is certainly possible that you have normal lenses. I just got contacts a few weeks ago, so I completely know what you mean. It took me quite awhile to get used to them. For many days, it seemed like they only made my vision much worse. In fact, I still think I'm getting used to them. My vision still isn't perfect, but it is getting better! It's possible that they gave you the wrong prescription; however, I would advise to just stick it out another week or two. If at that point your lenses still seem awful, then it's probably the wrong prescription.





    The best of luck to you.How long will it take to see clearer with contact lenses?
    You should have right away. I know what it's like when you just wear them according to the schedule at first, but you just should be getting used to the feeling in your eyes - you should be able to see clearly. And probably more clearly than you did with your glasses, since the contacts should be a more up to date prescription.


    I have astigmatism, too, and wore regular soft contacts. Thanks to you, I googled and now know what toric lenses are!
    I have never heard of anyone with astigmatism being able to wear regular contacts, but I suppose it could be possible. It's also possible that they might not have gotten the prescription right in your contacts. Sometimes eye drops made for use with contacts will help clear your contacts if you are experiencing blurry vision at times.
    I don't believe it's true that you can wear normal lenses with an astigmatism. I've always been told that I need to wear toric lenses (I have an astigmatism too). Besides maybe some minor discomfort or dry eyes while you're getting used to wearing lenses, you should be able to see just as clearly with your lenses as you did/do with your glasses. I do think they gave you the wrong prescription.
    It is most likely the astigmatism. If you have a small degree of it then you can't wear toric lenses. I have -.50 of astigmatism in addition to my nearsightedness so I wear normal contacts. I don't have glasses so I am not sure if I would see clearer with them or not but I do know that things definately aren't 100% clear to me. When you go back you can tell them that you don't see clear and maybe they can try something else.
    When you see the doctor again, he will check your vision and likely adjust the power of the lens or you may need toric lenses.





    This is normal when getting contacts for the first time. Especially with astigmatism, it may take several tries to get the power right.
    the only problem you should have is getting used to the feel of them in your eyes.


    If you can't see clearly it's possible that they messed up your prescription or that your astigmatism isn't being corrected enough.





    -----





    and yes, people, if your astigmatism is NOT too severe you can wear regular contacts.

  • Clear corner lenses for a 95' chevy pickup???

    Hey guys! I just bought some clear parking and head lights for my 95' Z71. Also I was going to buy some corner lenses but I was looking at the box and it said that the top corners had to be amber. Is this something that they would stop me for? Is this an Alabama law?Clear corner lenses for a 95' chevy pickup???
    this is normal and to correct this simply purchase amber bulbs rather than clear ones and problem solved. Most states require the amber lens or bulb...but it's a simple fix...buy them they will look good..put the amber bulbs in and problem solved.Clear corner lenses for a 95' chevy pickup???
    all states have same laws, its basic car laws.





    check w/ your local BMV but some will let you do the clear corners if you have a amber bulb. its a turn signal, it has to be amber by law, any state.

    Clear contact lenses?

    I'm a 14 year old girl and i really hate wearing my glasses because i think i look better without them but the problem is i can't see so well (my eyesight is not that bad) So I'm planning to get myself a contact lenses. but I'm not so sure about them because first, does it hurt when you put them on and take them out? and how much does it cost you to have one (i want the clear one not color) Clear contact lenses?
    You will need a separate prescription for contacts, just FYI.





    When you first start wearing them it feels really weird, but it doesn't hurt. If it hurts then you have some speck of something or you have it in backwards (yes, this is possible). After wearing them for a lot of hours in a row, your eyes can get kind of 'scratchy'. Like, they are irritated, but no, still not really hurting.





    Putting them in and taking them out is just a matter of practice. It can be strange to basically stick your finger in your eye, but you get used to it.





    Most peoples' eyes have different prescriptions, and each box of good-quality, disposable contact lenses (good for 2 weeks each, box of 6) is somewhere between $25 and $35, per eye. Unless you are lucky enough to have both eyes with the same prescription, like I do.Clear contact lenses?
    Well i got my contact lenses about a month ago,they are clear.It doesn't hurt when you put them in the first time but it feels different. I didn't have problems taking them out. I think its easier taking them out then putting them in. The only way my contacts hurt me is when I first got them,i couldn't get them in right away so they dried out by the time i put them in it burned. An other thing thats hurts is if you just have a little spec of dust on the contact and put it in it burns really bad. one more thing MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE THE RIGHT WAY WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN!!! The price depends on how many you buy. I bought a month suply to try them out.



    my first time putting on contacts was 14, and took me about 30mins. just b/c i wasn't use to touching my eye, and when i did they watered. but u get use to it. The first time is the hardest after that ur a pro, i wouldn't no how much they cost, my insurance pays 4 them. COLOR is Way Better than clear!! but more expensive
    depends on the contacts and where you live. they are about 50.00 a box. and no they dont hurt to put them in. wash your hands, touch your eye. thats it!!!!!

    Why is is that every time I wear green color contact lenses( with vision), I can't seem to really see clear.

    My eyes don't have sigmitism or anything. And clear contact lenses works perfectly with meWhy is is that every time I wear green color contact lenses( with vision), I can't seem to really see clear.
    Many people do have this problem with colored contacts, the Freshlook colored contacts in particular. I know that when I first got mine, I could see a ring at night when my pupils would dilate and overlap into the colored part of the contacts. I got used to that after about a week though, and now I don't have any trouble with them at all. But this does seem to be a very common problem among Freshlook colored contact users, and I'm not 100% sure why, unless it just has something to do with the quality of the contacts themselves.Why is is that every time I wear green color contact lenses( with vision), I can't seem to really see clear.
    Probably because part of the colored pattern is covering your pupil. I don't wear color contacts myself, but I'm told this is a common complaint.

    Using the new 8'; dob. from meade, what lens to use to get the biggest clearest image of planets?

    An 8'; scope is 200 mm. I'd go with 200x at the most. And, i might even go that high for the planets.





    But let's say you're talking about the 8'; Lightbridge. This has a 1219mm focal length. Divide that by 200, and you get about 6 mm for an eyepiece.





    You can also divide the focal length of the scope by the focal length of the eyepiece to get the magnification - for when you're shopping. So if you see a 7mm eyepiece, 1219 / 7 = 174x.





    The SN-8 AT has a 812mm focal length. So 200x is about 4mm for an eyepiece. Hmm.





    You know, it's really expensive to make these really short focal length eyepieces with high quality. If you've got a nice 10mm eyepiece, it's going to be pretty good. I do use my 10mm with a 2x barlow frequently. And i like the results much better than my 5.1mm eyepiece.





    Using the new 8'; dob. from meade, what lens to use to get the biggest clearest image of planets?
    Bear in mind that shorter and more powerful eyepieces also have a smaller field of view. The image will be larger, but will move out of the field quickly. On planets, even on a scope with tracking, I rarely go above 200X.





    I think 100X is a bit pessimistic for an 8'; scope. Under reasonable skies you could crank it to 300X, and more than 400X under excellent skies, but you can't look at planets for very long like that because the field is very small, and the slightest touch of the scope while trying to keep it there could actually knock it out of the field.





    And as mentioned, bigger and clearer don't go together. The more powerful the EP, the greater the magnification not only of the planet, but of everything between the planet and your eye, including atmospheric movement, optical imperfections on the (probably excellent) scope, and even distant footsteps or your own heartbeat.Using the new 8'; dob. from meade, what lens to use to get the biggest clearest image of planets?
    It depends on the atmospheric conditions. With excellent seeing conditions, on a well collimated 8'; scope, after it has had time to cool down to the ambient temperature, you will probably be able to get a nice sharp image all the way up to 300x. The results will vary widely from night to night. You just have to start with your longest length eyepiece and work your way up, for as long as you are able to get a nice clear image. Most of the time I am happy with 100-150x or less, but I have taken it up to 450x on some extraodinarilly clear and steady nights. .

    Contact lenses question........(clear comfort)?

    hi i got contacts about a year ago the doctor prescribed me clear comfort toric lenses. I want to buy another set online but i cant find them no website and sites like 1800contacts.com and others dont offer this brand?


    does anyone know where i can get them or what brand i should switch too?Contact lenses question........(clear comfort)?
    Hi, it sound to me like the 'clear comfort' lenses are just a re branded lens. This is very common for company's like Ciba Vision or Coopervision (both contact lens manufacturers) to re label their lenses to suit high street opticians or smaller independants. For instance, Specsavers have there own contact lenses with the 'specsavers' logo on the box but the lenses are in fact 'Focus Comforts' made by Ciba Vision. I wouldn't worry too much about getting exactly the same toric branded lenses as most toric lenses on the market today are very comfortable to wear.


    A good and reasonably priced toric lens is the 'options comfort' made by Cooper Vision which you can buy from most high street opticians.

    Yes.IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET CONTACT LENSES In CLEAR?
    They... are clear? What? Most contact lenses are clear, and even if they have a bluish or greenish tint to them, they're still clear...
    yes, usually they are priscription, otherwise its pointless to wear them.
    Sure is and here is the link
    they all come in clear
    they came in clear way before they came in color, just talk to your eye doctor
    Yes thats what i use.

    Are clear contact lenses noticeable?

    I mean the contact lenses that have no color in them, they are just clear or see through.


    I'm thinking of getting a prescription, but i don't want them to be entirely noticable.


    Thank-you..Are clear contact lenses noticeable?
    No, you can only tell when you are up really close and can see the ridge of the lenses.Are clear contact lenses noticeable?
    I wear both contacts and glasses and they are not noticeable unless someone has great vision or is less than a foot away from your face or even nose to nose.. they are clear and may make your eyes seem a little shiny but they are not really noticeable the way the edges are beveled they are fit to the eye and size you can even get them to where the lenses are not the size of the color part of the eye or go around the outter edge .. mine go outside the color part of the eye and are not noticeable really
    The clear contact are not noticeable at all. Unless someone is specifically trying 10mm from your eyes to see the outer rim. Naturally the contact has a slight blue tint. It helps in taking it out of the case.
    I have contact lenses and no one noticed I had them until I told someone. If you look really closely you can see kind of a blueish color but only if you look really really hard.
    No they are not noticeable unless you are close to a mirror and you can see the outside edges.
    nobody can see you contact lenses while you are wearing them! Believe me, because I have a lot of friends who wear contact lenses.
    definately not. i wear them and so does my friend and there some really bad bullies at our school and if we look weird they beat us. it doesnt attracts their attention

    How come I cant find the Clear Care cleaning solution for contact lenses made by Ciba Vision.?

    I can't find them in the usual stores like Walgreens and Target, are they discontinued or found hazardous?How come I cant find the Clear Care cleaning solution for contact lenses made by Ciba Vision.?
    It has NOT been discontinued and there have been no studies saying that it isn't an effective cleaner/disinfectant. What really happened is that there was a protocol violation at Ciba's only manufacturing plant. Nothing was contaminated, but Ciba shut down the plant to get everything back the way it was supposed to be. 3 or 4 weeks ago they resumed production of Clear Care and shipped the product to their distribution center in Kansas. Before any of the product could be distibuted, a tornado hit the facility. Ciba can only manufacture one product at a time (Clear Care is first on the list), so it will take a little time for it to get back on the shelves - but it IS coming back!! If you're out of solution, call your eye doctor to find out which one you should use in the meantime.How come I cant find the Clear Care cleaning solution for contact lenses made by Ciba Vision.?
    I don't know. Is it really discontinued? I finally found (a rather beaten up) twin package (last on the shelf) at K-Mart the other day but no luck at Walmart...


    I liked it. It was easy to use.
    Its not available anymore because recent studies showed that its specific solution doesnt remove protein as it claims it can.. get Renu Bausch %26amp; Lomb.. its better...

    How do you make your plastic headlight lenses on your car look clear again and not all foggy looking!!!?

    Try buffing them, there's a compound made just for thatHow do you make your plastic headlight lenses on your car look clear again and not all foggy looking!!!?
    Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish. It works twice as good as the ';Special'; plastic polish that is made for polishing plastic. Rub it onto the plastic housing until it turns a yucky yellowish color, let dry and buff off with a clean cloth. do it 2-3 times and you'll have just like new headlights.How do you make your plastic headlight lenses on your car look clear again and not all foggy looking!!!?
    Clean the inside first then ask to a car shop for a chemical that can clean the outside of the lenses dont just use any rubbing compound because it may make it worst.
    buffing and those kits are all temp fixes. the yellow always comes back. best thing is to do is go to a local junk yard or buy new aftermarket.
    My bet is if you can't scratch it off and the lens feels smooth then is it water vapor build up INSIDE the lens. soo either deal with it or replace the lens.
    Rubbing compound, one of the fine grit ones, and elbow grease!! use a silicone lube twice or three times a year to prevent the problem from coming right back
    they sell little kits at automotive stores to fix that problem. never used it before so i can't say how good it works.
    i agree with jenny, because ive used everything the guyz above is tellin you to use( on my 94 eclipse ) and at the end it always comes back, so save the headache and buy some new ones. ps some of those lens cleaner packs are as high as $15 an up so save the money an the headache.
    There is no way to fix this other than replacing them! Don't waste your time with the cleaners they do not work!
    I bought some plastic polish at wal mart, it worked perfectly

    Clear Lenses for Wiley-X Prescription?

    Okay, I know nothing about prescriptions and eye glasses, but I'm going back to the optometrist in August and I think I'll be getting a prescription. I've got slight myopia in my left eye and some astigmatism in my right eye.





    If I were to buy these glasses with my prescription: http://www.wileyx.com/EcommSuite/PrescriptionPackageOptions.aspx?ItemCode=556F





    And I selected ';Clear'; for the Lens options, could they act as regular eyeglasses and not sunglasses?Clear Lenses for Wiley-X Prescription?
    Yup.

    Is there such a thing as clear theatrical (non prescripiton) contact lenses?

    My lil cousin (15 yo) wants them. Why? I dunno. Its her birthday present. I asked her if shes sure and she said she was.Could you tell me where i could get them if they do exist? maybe a link and price?Is there such a thing as clear theatrical (non prescripiton) contact lenses?
    She means non prescription colored lenses.





    It isn't as easy as going out and buying some though. She needs an eye exam and a fitting done at an optometrist office.





    Contacts are a medical device and controlled by federal laws....because they aren't toys and can cause damage to peoples eyes if not properly fit and taken care of.Is there such a thing as clear theatrical (non prescripiton) contact lenses?
    She probably wants contact lenses that have a design on them. It comes in nonprescription, clear lenses. However it is stupid to wear contacts if you dont need them because you can develop a serious eye infection which can cause BLINDNESS.


    You need to search online for stores that carry them.
    They definitely exist -- we use clear contacts with no prescription as 'bandage' contact lenses occasionally. I'm not sure where you'd buy a set of them though, or why you'd want to. Presumably anywhere that sells contacts should be able to order them from their suppliers with no prescription?

    Which 3D glasses are better the red and blue ones or the Gray/Clear Lenses (Pulfrich Style)?

    They aren't interchangable, they have to match the format of your 3-D movie. Most movies on DVD require the red-blue (analglyph) glasses. But if you are showing a film on a screen with polarized light, the polarized glasses are the ones you want.





    The red-blue version of 3-D movies results in loss of color, so if you have control over the format and the projection, I would definitely opt for the polarized glasses.





    ----





    Edit: I just looked up 'Pulfrich' and realized you are talking about the dark/light lenses that aren't actually 3-D glasses. They trick your eye into seeing 3-D on standard video moving from left to right (assuming the left lens is the darker one).





    They used this effect in the Superbowl Halftime Show a few years back. It takes awhile for your eyes to adjust to the two shades and it only works on L-R motion, and is only a simulation. This doesn't sound like what you want...Which 3D glasses are better the red and blue ones or the Gray/Clear Lenses (Pulfrich Style)?
    It sounds like you're trying to decide how to make a 3D movie. The glasses are the least of your concerns. First you need to decide what you'll need to make the movie. The grey lens ones (I'm assuming you're not talking about active ones, such as are used with Imax 3D, which are quite expensive -- about $300 each), are actually polarizing, and the two lenses are polarized at right angles to one another. So to make the movie, you need to be able to film/video and then do the playback with appropriate polarized light. (I'm not sure you can do this with video; I only see how to do it with a light source.)





    The polarized ones give a better quality image and better color faithfulness than the red/green.Which 3D glasses are better the red and blue ones or the Gray/Clear Lenses (Pulfrich Style)?
    it depends on the 3D format of what you are looking at.


    if the movie uses interlaces, get the gray ones.


    if it uses red and blue overlays, get the red and blue ones
    The red and blue ones because 3-d is in blue and red!!!

    Does clear window cleaner cause Chromatic Abberation On glass lenses?

    I am coloured blind, but still see some distortion occasionally through my glasses.Does clear window cleaner cause Chromatic Abberation On glass lenses?
    If the distortion and the color dispersion you are seeing through the lens is truly from chromatic aberration, cleaning it won't help. Chromatic aberration results from the lens dispersing the different wavelengths of the visible spectrum slightly differently. As a result, the different colors end up being focused at slightly different focal lengths. It's the lens itself that is messing it up. Being color blind doesn't negate seeing blurry images from chromatic aberration. Even though you won't see the color dispersion, you are still seing the image focused at different focal lengths on your retina.





    To correct it, you would need to get higher quality lenses.

    Are Oakley clear titanium iridium lenses mirrored? Or do they have a mirrored effect?

    I want to order clear lenses and I found these at Oakley.com, but wanted to know if they are mirrored? I do not want to order them if they are. I also saw just plain clear for $20 cheaper, but also wanted to know the difference between these and the titanium iridium lenses.





    http://oakley.com/pd/2002Are Oakley clear titanium iridium lenses mirrored? Or do they have a mirrored effect?
    The titanium iridium clear would have some degree of mirror effect and stronger light filtering than the plain clear. You can read reviews of them below:

  • Can I get clear/fake lenses replaced with real lenses?

    If I bought glasses with clear lenses ...


    say these ones, for example:


    http://www.wholesalecelebshades.com/417.鈥?/a>





    could I take them to an eye doctor or some place and get those lenses replaced with prescription lenses?Can I get clear/fake lenses replaced with real lenses?
    Frames like that aren't of a good enough optical quality usually to be able to put real lenses into them.





    The frame has to be heated to get the old lenses out, and heated again to put the new ones in. Very often cheap plastics like that won't take it, and either burn or break.





    At that price, the construction of the frame is going to be real cheap and liable to break within a short time anyway, then you are stuck with expensive lenses and no frame.





    All in all...not a good idea.Can I get clear/fake lenses replaced with real lenses?
    Yes, if you go to the eye doctor they will examine your eyes and write you a prescription for lenses if you need them.
    Yes- but those frames look a little dorky-

    Camera lenses. Everyone else's pictures seem so clear and mine don't, what are some reasons?

    Plus I have a couple lenses (zoom and wide angle) but I was wondering about another one I've seen on others camera. It's quite large in diameter, do you what this lens is?Camera lenses. Everyone else's pictures seem so clear and mine don't, what are some reasons?
    There are a lot of reasons your photos might not look as clear as others, without seeing your photos, the photos you're comparing them to, and your equipment, it's impossible to say for sure. Some reasons for ';unclear'; photos might be:





    1) lower quality lens -- this is unlikely, since generally even a ';bad lens'; will get you a sharp image, especially if you're not making big prints from it





    2) grain/noise-- Smaller image sensors and higher ISOs produce noisier images, which affects the clarity of the image.





    3) light/exposure -- underexposed images often look muddy, and if the lighting is bad they may also look flat and murky





    4) photoshop -- contrast adjustments and ';sharpening'; effects can also make an image look ';clearer.';





    5) focus problems/ slow shutter speeds -- you may actually have trouble getting a focused, sharp image. Sometimes cameras have trouble with autofocus in low light, or if you're using slower shutter speeds with moving subjects (or a slow enough shutter speed that it's recording your own slight movements), these will reduce the clarity





    and re: the lens you've seen, it really isn't possible to tell from your description, lots of different lenses have similar physical appearances

    I hate to be the one to give you bad news but they do not make euro style taillights for your 87 Monte Carlo. My best suggestion to you is to find a maker of euro taillights and contact them and see if they can give you some assistance or leads.





    As far as I know there is not a place you can take your OEM taillight and have one made out of a clear lens and the cost would probably be high.





    If you don't have any luck the only other way I see you possibly getting the look you want with a euro taillight is by finding one you like of a similar size and have a body shop modify you car to fit the light again cost may be high.(I had a friend of mine do his truck this way) Sorry good luck.

    Can you buy clear lensed glasses in opticians...?

    I really want a pair just as a fashion thing, so i just thought if you could still buy a pair as they are on the shelves...Can you buy clear lensed glasses in opticians...?
    You can do this, but legally the optician has to test your eyes first, to see if you have a prescription, even if it is very small.





    However, if you do have a prescription and you do not wish to have the prescription put into the glasses, then you will probably have to sign a disclaimer saying you hae requested non-prescription lenses. Reason being, if you are wearing the glasses and you are involved in an accident that could have been prevented had the lenses been prescription, the optician would be liable unless they could show you had told them not to give the prescription.Can you buy clear lensed glasses in opticians...?
    You can't wear them with the lenses that come in them already. They often have writing or something on them anyway, that doesn't come off.





    Those are just a cheap mica lens that is not only full of distortion , but are very dangerous to wear because they break easily into very jagged pieces.





    You can get real Plano lenses ( meaning 0 power) put into any frame you want though. Any optical store can do that for you.
    That is a very common thing to ask for presciption free glasses (fashion wise). Just go into the optician and say you just need plano lenses and volia, they'll most likely have the lenses in stock and do it within an hour depending on the service they provide.
    Yes you can, the lenses are known as plano lenses, you could probably get them cheaper off eBay.

TIA!Which contact lens solution is the best? aquify vs. opti-free vs. clean clear?
    It really depends on your eyes. My optometrist told me it doesn't matter which solution you use - they all perform the same. The only difference is that they have their own unique preservative that can irritate your eyes.





    I've used Opti-Free all my life with no problems; I've used 3 other name-brand solutions as well with no issues.





    The only problems I've encountered are the cheaper store-name brands. It seems quality is a bit lacking in terms of cleaning and disinfecting power.

    Filter...67mm size (18-135mm lens) for Nikon D80, what brand and difference between skylight, UV haze, & clear

    i will be using the lens for mostly just lens protection, however, if the skylight/UV haze (by the way, what exactly is the difference between these) enhances the image compared to just a clear filter, then thats what i want.





    PLEASE provide specific BRANDS (whats the best between tiffen, hoya, heliopan, formatt, or B+W, or the Nikon brand....i need a filter (either skylight or UV haze thats 67mm....on bhphotovideo.com, there are NO nikon skylight filters, can anyone help me???)Filter...67mm size (18-135mm lens) for Nikon D80, what brand and difference between skylight, UV haze, %26amp; clear
    All three are lens protectors. If you ever plan on using the lens on a 35mm camera then the Skylight would be the choice. It removes the slight blue haze sometimes noticeable on certain color transparency films. The UV filter is good for cutting through a little haze. I have really never seen a clear filter, but while it will protect the lens, for the money I would get one of the other two.





    Of course Nikon would be the first choice for polarizing filters. Hoya and B+W are both fine filter companies and are used by many pros. Except for some VERY critical photography (like forensic or scientific) or if you routinely shoot into the sun or other light source, Tiffen, heliopan and others are quite good..Filter...67mm size (18-135mm lens) for Nikon D80, what brand and difference between skylight, UV haze, %26amp; clear
    Personally, I'd say the first place to start for effects is a polarizing filter. You want a ';circular'; polarizer. Some people use a skylight or UV filter to protect the front glass of the lens, but you can also buy high quality plano glass filters for that purpose. Whatever you do, at least buy a decent quality filter instead of trying to get off cheap.





    As far as all the rest, you can do this in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Okay, I don't want to argue with anyone about how it's better to use the real filter, but ATX can try a few in Photoshop (etc) ';for free'; and see which ones will be the most useful.





    Or, go here http://www.thkphoto.com/products/hoya/in鈥?/a> and see what you can learn.





    Or here http://www.tiffen.com/tiffen_filters.htm鈥?/a> Tiffen makes a kit to get you started on filters, if you think you want more than one. They include a polarizer, a UV filter and a warming filter. B%26amp;H Photo and many other places sell this kit.





    Many people use a UV filter simply to protect the front element of their lens from damage. ';UV filters absorb ultraviolet rays which often make outdoor photos hazy or indistinct.'; (from: http://www.thkphoto.com/products/hoya/gf鈥?/a> )





    We get this question often enough that I decided to upload a sample to Flickr showing the same subject taken with and without a UV filter. Download the image, cut a small section out of the top half and drag it to the same section in the bottom half and see what you think. The photos were taken about 15 seconds apart in subdued sunlight, so I think the lighting was virtually identical for each. There was no post-processing at all so you can make a fair comparison. I will not comment any further and let you decide for yourself if there is any color shift.





    http://www.flickr.com/photos/7189769@N04鈥?/a>





    The picture was taken with a Nikon D200 at ISO 100 with the Nikon 18-200 VR lens @ 112 mm at f/5.3.





    Buy a name brand like Hoya or Tiffen. Don't get cheap junk to put on the front of your fine lens.
    I also have the same camera and the same lens. To protect the lens, I bought the UV filter at a camera store. I bought the Quantaray filter - mainly because that's they one they had at the store - and, though it may not be that great of a brand, it's doing what I wanted it to do: protect my lens.


    I know Hoya is a good brand because I've used it before, but I don't know how good the filters of the other brands are.
    UV %26amp; haze is the same thing--it blocks UV light. This is a carryover from film days as film is much more sensitive to Ultraviolet light than a digicam sensor. There is some disagreement as to whether you need a UV filter or a clear filter on a digicam because of this. There's not much price differece so go with the UV--it doesn't affect exposure it you get a good one.





    There's also a skylight filter -usually marked 81a or 81 b. These were used to adjust white balance in the film days and give the picture a warmer look. You don't need that with the WB adjustment on a digicam.





    Get the best filter you don't mind ruining--because that's their function--to protect the lens. No matter how careful you are you will eventually scratch the filter and have to replace it. Get a good one but don't spend $100 on it. You might consider having a good one for everyday shooting and then a cheaper one for harsh environments (i.e. beach or situations where it is very likely to get damaged).





    I bought a Pro 1 Digital Hoya UV Filter from Robin Kanta Photographic. Love it and it's highly rated. Best prices on the net too. www.photofilter.com. Very thin ring so vingetting is not an issue.





    Polarizing is the other filter you will want to get. Get a circular polarizing one. They work best when you are 90 degress to the light source. Nikon's CP filter is expensive but very highly rated. I'm saving up for this one.
    Any of the major brands will do an excellent job. If you've noticed, the 'Skylight', 'UV', and 'Haze' filters each have a slight 'pink'-ish cast to them. That's to remove some of the UV/blue rays and/or sky haze without significantly altering the color recorded. My personal preference is the Olympus line of filters, especially the newer 'thin-line' models. Stick to the major brands and you'll do fine. Check your local camera shops and see if they have a 'used filter' section - mine does, and it usually saves me at least 50% off retail. You'll be able to put it on your camera and test it in-shop before you pay if your shop is like the one I deal with here in Memphis. Good luck.

Is sounds as if you are collecting lenses for no reason....set up a goal, aim only at lenses you will need for your photography, and stick to it. Otherwise, you are wasting a lot of money. No one else cares what lenses you have,...this is not a ';I've got more lenses than you.'; game here. IF you do not shoot telephoto, then forget about telephoto lenses. GoldwingCanon 50mm/1.4 lens. This is a reposted question from yesterday to clear up confusion.?
    Which lenses are best, really depends on how you use your camera and your budget. That said, the 50mm f/1.4 is a great lens and generally gives very sharp results on my 40D. Everyone sets up their kit to meet their own needs so far be it from me to tell you what lens to buy.





    I will say that because you have that focal length covered with other lenses, it wouldn't be unreasonable to sell the 17-50mm f2.8. Still, I probably wouldn't if it was my kit because I find having a 17-55mm f/2.8 to be a good general purpose lens for available light,especially when shooting indoors. Primes are still a good idea because the allow higher shutter speeds than possible with even an f/2.8 zoom indoors.





    My current kit is as follows:


    EF-s 10-22mm (Landscapes and architecture)


    EF-s 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM (Used mostly indoors)


    EF 24-105mm f4L (This lens stays on my camera most of the time)


    EF 50mm f/1.4 USM (Indoor candids and portraits)


    EF 85mm f/1.8 USM (Indoor performances/sports)


    EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM (Anytime I need a long lens)


    EF 300mm f4L IS USM (Anytime I need something even longer, especially with a 1.4x extender)


    Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM (Indoor candids and portraits)
    It really depends on your own shooting style, for what you would want next. If I were you, I would sell the 28-135 because it is more of a full-frame lens. It doesn't go wide enough to be a good walkaround general purpose lens, which is why if you notice, all digital SLRs come with a general lens that starts at 17-18mm.





    Are you happy with the Tamron? Looking at some reviews, I think I would be impressed with the overall quality and would keep this lens. The rest of your lenses are special circumstance, and I would keep them (10-22 ultrawide and 100mm supersharp macro).





    The lenses you are looking at are all prime and large aperture. Are you wanting these lenses because you are shooting in low light? If you are happy with the lowlight performance of your Tamron, then for me, switching to a prime as an everyday walkaround lens is not something I would consider. I have a 35mm and a 50mm for when I need lowlight performance, but in general I have a walkaround zoom, which for me offsets any image quality or aperture gains I would attain from a prime.





    Since you have a 100mm which is suitable as a portrait lens, your next purchase should not be just to get a new lens, but to get a lens which fulfills a role. You need to tell us what you are wanting to shoot, and how your current lenses are falling short. A logical next step in my opinion would be a good sports lens, like one of Canon's 70-200's (whichever fulfills your needs/price range).





    This is, of course, considering that you already have all of the essentials, like a good tripod, a decent flash, and a solid camera bag that carries what you like to take with you most of the time?

    Clear vision in the day without wearing any contact lens.?

    im interested in the contact lens which are used in the night when we are sleeping.when we remove our lens we will be able to have clear vision for the whole day.how true is that?any cons for wearing that type of lens?Clear vision in the day without wearing any contact lens.?
    Debbie.........Dont count on it. You have fallen prey to an advertising scam. There are no magic cures for eyesight. If you want to correct your vision problems your choices are:


    Glasses, Contacts ( and only when your eyes are open ), surgery. There is no magic lens that heals your eyesight during the night while you sleep. They do offer contact lenses that you can sleep in, but the side effects are not worth the risk. Your eyes need O2, and contact lenses cut off the supply of oxygen. If you must wear contact lenses, I recommend the extended wear contacts. You remove them daily. I have heard of a surgery called Crystalens. That envolves the removal of the eye's natural lens, and then a corrective lens in put into place. It completely eliminates the worries of cataracts, but then again, you do have someone digging around in your eye.


    Here are a few sites that will help you understand what is real, and what is hype:

    I hope these few websites can give you the ANSWER to your question. Good luck, and don't believe everything that you hear.Clear vision in the day without wearing any contact lens.?
    When I decided to get contact lens I considered those type lens but decided against them because one of my friends use them and she said it hurts like hell and sometimes her eyes bleed! I dont know how true that is, maybe she was exaggerating, but I decided against having those. Also consider that this is still a very new type of technology, and who knows what type of long-term effects that they will have on your eyes when you're 80?





    Do you have ordinary contact lens now? Because if you do, seriously I would stick with them. Mine at least dont bother my eyes at all and although taking them off and on is a bit of bother, there are types of contact lens that claims that you can wear it overnight. I have that type, it's called Night and Day and it's made by a company called Ciba Vision. However when I bought them they recommended they you still dont wear them for over 12 hours.





    Its your choice. You should probably talk to your optician about this, (s)he will be able to give you more information.
    Why not just find a way to restore your vision so you don't need contacts


    I personally know of 2 ways the friends and family have improved there vision





    1. Improve Your Vision With Eye Exercises

    too early to tell you an honest point of view

    I am getting clear, prescription Contact Lenses tomorrow...?

    If you can, please tell me everything you know about contact lenses so that I may be aware or the precautions and the things that I need to know about putting them in, and taking them out. Thanks so much.I am getting clear, prescription Contact Lenses tomorrow...?
    keep your hands clean, wash before touching your lens and eyes, be patient when putting them it, it will take you a while to get one in your eye, you will tear up, and your eyes will blink so much that you think you'll never get it in. if your contacts hurt while in , they are in wrong, or there is dirt inside the lid. if everything is okay, you will not feel anything!


    good luck,I am getting clear, prescription Contact Lenses tomorrow...?
    You should let ur doc know you have never worn contacts. They should have someone sit down with you and explain everything. Also they should teach u insertion and removal. And, if they don't you should find a diff doc.
