    He's young-lookin' now, but LotR was more than a few years ago, so you got an even younger dude, then he's in makeup that makes him look all young and cutesy...

    I can see how it might feel odd, but nah, dude's in his thirties. He's probably in "older man" territory for most of ya.

    Also, apparently he's 5'6"... that's not that short, unless you spend your life standing next to tall brawny supermodels (he spends his life next to tall brawny supermodels)

    gahhhh.

    who has contacts? talk to me about contacts. I've worn glasses since I was 8. which would be like 24 years ago now. but I think i'm getting tired of the glasses and I'm not sure I want to do Lasik. anybody have any good tips/brands/experiences?


    this could likely just be another phase for me. lol.

    go to your optometrist

    I've needed classes since I was 12 and have worn contacts since I was 13 (yay sports)

    I've worn varying types of Acuvue lenses all my life, currently wearing Acuvue Oasys which are obscenely comfortable

    my experiences have been largely positive - I'll post more about them later on today

    I didn't think the Oasys were much better than the 2's, so the main difference to me is that they were a lot more expensive. So I went and found an optometrist that would let me switch back to 2's.

    This is definitely a YMMV kind of thing though.

    yeah my optometrist was vehemently against the 2's - he reckons it's good that they'll be discontinued soon

    that said, I also developed a really bad reaction to the 2's after using them for a couple years, and the Oasys are just so much more comfortable than them in the last 3 months I've been wearing them

    I've been thinking of getting contacts again. Or maybe even get the operation and do full on LAZER EYES. but i'm not sure i want to take away that type of accessorizing

    or what my face would look like sans glasses. or how i would effectively pump up the Dad Factor when staring down my nose at someone

    I went on a trip to do orphan stuff in Romania. One of our volunteers was a Pentecostal preacher who for some reason thought sheep-shagging was the funniest thing ever.

    We'd give him dirty looks every time we passed a pasture.
    He was pretty cool for a preacher. He was also the first to notice that the Romanian word for pie looked almost exactly like "placenta"...

    i wear contacts, they're soft thirty day wears

    I like 'em, i definitely wouldn't go back to glasses permanently. Especially convenient for exercising.
  • FutoreFutore Registered User regular
    see, that's what i want new contacts most for. the excercising/sweaty working.

    I wish I had more opportunities to wear fitted vests. They make it look like I actually have an upper body.

    Casual vests are a thing that's in, but they don't have the same effect. Fitted vests alone just look incomplete without a jacket...

    I just wanna look buff without having to work for it.

  • VivixenneVivixenne Not Mad... Just DisappointedRegistered User regular
    okay so now that I have some time to do a proper post

    @lonelyahava - obviously none of the following replaces an optometrist's opinions; you should deffers talk to one if you are interested in contacts

    for context, I wore contacts from a young age because my volleyball coach suggested it

    my original optometrist put me on Acuvues - monthlies, if I recall correctly

    I was using those for forever until I moved to Shanghai and they were no longer available, so I switched to Biomedics lenses (monthly) for a while

    then I swapped to Acuvue 2 (fortnightly), and now Acuvue Oasys (fortnightly)

    I wear contacts almost every day, but do default to glasses on days where I don't need to leave the house

    the monthlies were cheap, but I think the problem is that if your eyes get easily irritated, any bacteria or protein buildup in them is gonna suck, because you can't throw them away as you'd waste up to 4 weeks' worth of wear

    the dailies (in packs of 30 or 90) are very expensive, but don't need to be stored (i.e., minimal use of contact lens solutions) so in some ways can weigh up well against fortnightlies or monthlies, especially if you don't wear them all the time

    I have always worn soft lenses; I tried hard lenses for 2 weeks and my eyes WERE NOT FANS and thus I swapped to soft ones... back in the day there was talk for younger kids that they can wear certain hard lenses to sleep at night and it shapes their eye so that they don't have to wear contacts during the day - I have had friends who did this who swore by it, but this is not a popular option for some reason as I think most optometrists aren't okay with it

    in terms of storage, there are two basic ways - one is the old school boob case (two separate compartments each with their own lid) filled with cleansing solution, the other is a case where both lenses are stored facing each other, then dipped into hydrogen peroxide

    AO-SeptCase.jpg

    depending on the case, you'll either pop a little tablet into the hydrogen peroxide, or there will be a metal component that reacts to the hydrogen peroxide and turns it into oxygen, which flows up through the lenses to clean them... it's pretty cool, and I do this two to three times a week to prevent irritation

    which type of contact lenses with which type of frequency and which type of storage will differ based on your eyes

    yes, it is weird to touch your eyes. that totally takes getting used to, but you do get used to it; I've been known to try to remove contacts that weren't actually there which meant I was poking around my eyeball looking for them :P

    The thing I really like about vests is that you can wear crazy loud shirts that are really too much and the vests help cut them down to something that looks good.

    It definitely helps now that he is often scruffy. Fresh-faced Frodo just did not inspire that in me.

    nope

    nnnnnope

    It isn't necessarily so, but it is so.

    Any fitted vest I've seen on the rack has pretty much always had an unfinished back. Vests made to be worn alone (and so fully finished) are usually more casual, and so not closely fitted enough to do what I want.

    I'm sure lady clothes are different, and I'm sure I could find what I want if budget weren't an issue, but nope. No instant fake shoulders for me.
