better not to wear when you go swimming, because germs might get into the contact lenses..

find a reliable optometrist and consult him what kinds of lens is suitable for u. get a trial pair...(usually free) and try out for urself...
practise hygiene at all times -
I have just bought the lens lately. The shop owner said, when you bend the lens, it's lid close fully, it should be correct side; and if it don't cover fully, wrong side.

Make me wonder if you really that short-sighted, are you be able to see the bowl or concave side?Originally posted by coolger03:oic.. din know abt that leh... always see the bowl thing... learnt something new today... -
When the contact lens is on the correct side it should look like this:
or this
It looks like a bowl as everyone has pointed out.
If it's on the wrong side, the edges are flat and curving outwards.

usually the shape will be abit "funny" when its at the worng side...
u will feel very uncomfortable if u wear at the wrong side...
contact lens are not suppose to come into contact with water..let along chlorine water...
coz when the water at the surface of the contact lens evaporate.. it will make yr eyes very very dry..... -

Go operation better. Lens might spoil your eyes or just wear specs.
-
operation has its pros and cons too....and i think its a matter of whether you can afford the op or not... if i could afford it of cos i would rather take the operation.
-
hmm... but op i heard the eye will become lousier after time.. its not permernent?
and its kinda dangerous? if the doctor screw up.. like twitch abit then the lazer cut thru your eye how? -
lasik is a relatively safe operation.
it's done by machine's so not much worries about doctor slipping up.
however, not all patients have perfect vision after operation. i.e. not 100%. also, few may experience night vision problems.
but generally most who went through it are satisfied. -
I have done Lasik 2 years back
, it is safe and good. -
