Ladies- colored contact lenses w/o prescription

[JVKn'CVO 11]

Well, if it was up to her she'd quit wearing them, but I act like a child and complain incessantly when we go out and she doesn't wear them! She's fcuking hot when she wears them!

When we were dating she never wore them until about two months into the relationship and BAM, one day she put them in and the rest is history.......

Too bad this country's so backward about certain things. We could buy these anywhere in the ME over the counter, as many as we wanted...I bought my Rx contacts in Spain once when on an extended business trip and again, over the counter!

Geez, what's next, controlling Viagra, Cialis? Oh wait, they already do that too, don't they????? Lot's of online stores making gazillions on that!

Nanny medicine that serves no purpose other than to artificially support an industry through mandating what can, and cannot be purchased without a Rx.

Dumb.

Anyway, the original vendor didn't stop selling them at all but took their website down to do some redesign. I have them on order as we speak. All is right in the world as the natural order of the universe has been restored!

Good for you, if your wife wears them and you like it, that's all you need

And yeah, I agree that Rx for cosmetic lenses is maybe a little too much

Ah, you are a breath of fresh air in this thread. Too many respond with a narrow POV based on only their experience in the USA and take judgemental stances.

I never judge people or their motives in these forums.

BTW, I remember a time when condoms could only be had with a Rx. I guess the doctor had to "fit" them to the individual and make sure that the individual knew when, and how to use them, sigh........

Not everyone is being judgmental! I think the posts about safety are certainly valid. Because OTC sales are now illegal in the U.S., the concern is that there's no way to ensure that you're not getting knockoffs or an inferior product packaged in an Acuvue box. I suppose the assumption is that a company selling prescription products to consumers without a valid script (like all the companies trying to sell you Viagra, painkillers, etc. ) is dodgy by nature and may be selling defective #######. There's no way to know, and because many operate and distribute from overseas, you can't hunt them down and give them da business if you're harmed by their product.

The 2005 law requiring a prescription for even noncorrective lenses was a result of a number of eye injuries, some causing blindness, that resulted from OTC cosmetic lenses. I haven't read the studies, so I don't know if a lot of the users were just inexperienced w/ lenses, or maybe the lenses themselves were defective.

It does seem that people should be able to get their hands on safe, name-brand cosmetic lenses at a U.S. pharmacy w/o a prescription. The whole prescription/OTC thing in the U.S. is weird. There's a ton of stuff that's OTC now that used to require a script--not too much stuff goes the other way around.

Come on, spendthrift! Spring for an eye exam! Your wife may find that hawt!

This is nonsense. I'll bet you'd be an advocate of making condoms an Rx device once again, eh?

This is nonsense. If you want to go back to 1985 then perhaps. Whatever the rational in the USA it's backwards and thankfully the rest of the world isn't so regressive.

They should have stayed in the realm of birth control devices such as the condom....mine still doesn't fit over my nose and I need a medical professional to help me in its proper use!

Reread bolded text, please, Mr. Grumpy.

I'm not saying they should be prescription, just noting that the fact that they are changes the safety situation in terms of where the products come from. The fact is, buying prescription anything without a prescription carries with it some risk. I'm not talking about consumer misuse (although I'm sure there's plenty of that going on, especially with painkillers), but the authenticity of the product itself. I don't know what the risk might be w/ cosmetic contact lenses ordered from overseas, but it stands to reason that there's some; you don't know who you're ordering from or what entity, if any, is regulating it. Acknowledging this is different from agreeing w/ the policy that has created the situation in the first place.

Hmm...maybe they should rewrite the instructions to include illustrations.

You'll get there!

Oh please Agnes....I don't really have the time here to go through this. The bottom line is all that you've written here is from your perspective, one that's clearly biased to believe that what you purchase here in the U.S. is somehow of superior quality because its (supposedly) been vetted by some government agency.

You ignore the fact that simply because you obtain an Rx to use a product that you're not assured the genuine product and its earned quality assurance is guaranteed.

They are mutually exclusive. The Rx and the product prescribed are not related in terms of risk of using the product.

There are many other countries in this world that have controls just as severe as our own in terms of quality assurance.

It's your assumption that if it's not bought here that it's possibly counterfeit, or of lower quality, or it may be genuine. Your argument appears to be that if one does not have an Rx for a product, how can one know one way or the other?

This is snobbery typical of most Americans and it's based on the false notion that only in America can one be assured of quality products.

I can assure you that in places like the UAE, where many Brit expats reside may I add, as well as I myself resided for a few years, that they are even more so intolerant of counterfeit and inferior products.

When I bought medical supplies, those of a brand that were from major manufactures, including my own contact lenses and my BP medication as well, I never once questioned the quality or authenticity of the product.

Getting back to my previous point, pursuing an Rx for contact lenses assures you nothing in terms of product quality. There's no guarantee that you're getting the drug, or medical device your doctor prescribed. That's a whole other argument.

My wife has been measured for, and fitted for the lenses she's worn for years. I see no reason to repeat the exam to come to the same conclusion, wash your hands before putting them in......There's no correction nor does she need any according to her yearly employee eye examination, which is a requirement given she works in a factory that uses Lasers, an OHSA dictate.

This is all moot given that I have the lenses on order.

and my BP medication as well

I think you should take some...you seem awfully worked up over a contact lens discussion.

[britty 1]

A friend of mine, with lovely deep brown eyes, used to wear blue colored lenses to make herself more attractive. If you look at someone side on who is wearing colored contacts, they look like they have advanced cataracts. Her particular genetic make-up did not lend itself to natural "cobalt blue" eyes so people always asked "why are you wearing colored contacts?"...duh. She doesnt wear them now - thankfully.

[Amby 490]

I still think you should just love the eye color you were given. Why change it?

Wow, how deep. You're absolutely right! My wife argues incessantly over my Genetic natural ability to grow thicker, and longer than usual nose hairs. I personally take pride in this and believe it to be a "chick magnet" but my wife insists on emasculating me and having me shave them so they can’t be seen!

I think I'm so freek'n hot with them but I think that she's a bit insecure when I'm around other ladies as they always seem to be whispering and looking at my nose.......

Ahh, what I could have been! My mother would be so proud!

Dude, it's OK to be wrong. I am all the time. But why all the resistance to a simple eye exam?
