You can actually wear soft contacts!
Plus, you can always just buy prescription goggles if you want.

Pocuclas them.
But you just can't do that with the soft ones.

It’s easy to say when you're just reading about it.
Let me show you what I can actually pull together. 😱
And that was just for an official letter.

I'm actually out here selling Herbalife,

which basically heals all of humanity's physical and mental struggles!

So, I basically "rehabilitated" my own lenses! 🙂 I bought them last year, but I only actually wore them for about two months. I kept them soaking in solution, but since I didn't touch them for almost a year, I was honestly terrified they might have gone bad! Luckily, the lady at the shop told me it doesn't matter and that they should be totally fine to wear!

The thing is, I'm not a huge fan of how they feel—they seem to stick to my eyes so intensely! Plus, whenever I take them out, everything looks super blurry, almost like they’ve peeled themselves right off my eyeballs! I haven't worn them in ages because of that sensation. Does anyone else get that feeling? 😬

Like I mentioned above, I'm not entirely sure, but I'd guess they're around $100. It really just depends on the brand and where you pick them up locally.

I actually get that exact same feeling when I take mine out! My eye doctor explained that it happens because they create a bit of a vacuum seal, and your pupils just need a little while to readjust and react normally again.

I usually stick to bi-weekly lenses. Right now, I'm using monthly ones simply because my specific prescription wasn't available in the other types. I just wear them as long as they stay comfortable—basically until they start getting blurry, scratchy, or just feel "off."
I've had some pairs that I absolutely hated after just a few days, and others that lasted way longer than they were supposed to. My absolute record? A pair of bi-weeklies that actually lasted me five whole months!

Susan Gonzalez4 said:I wear semi-rigid lenses—I'm nearsighted plus have astigmatism. I use all Allstate products, including the cleaning solution, storage, and the tablets. My prescription is just awful; it keeps climbing! I'm at -5 right now, and I'm only 26... so much change while my eyes are still developing.😢

Do you know if people with astigmatism can wear them too?
And about how much do they cost?

Back when soft lenses first hit the scene, doctors mostly insisted that anyone with astigmatism couldn't use them.
Nowadays, they generally say you absolutely can.
I'm 41, and I've been wearing contacts since I was 13! Back then, my hospital actually had to order my first pair from the USA because you couldn't just pick them up at a local shop. I could never get used to hard lenses—not even the semi-rigid ones. Soft lenses work perfectly for me.
Even if those other lenses supposedly stop your prescription from increasing, it doesn't mean much to me if I can't stand keeping them in my eye!
So, for me, it’s either soft lenses or glasses.
My vision kept changing until I was around 31 or 32. Since then, it's stayed steady at -7 with -1.5 astigmatism.
A friend of mine is actually still seeing changes, even though she's 40. She's currently at -5 and deals with astigmatism too.
The tricky part for me is a bit of ocular distortion; it makes everything seem to "pull" to the right. That's why contact lenses are such a lifesaver for me—they mask that distortion beautifully. Glasses make it so much more noticeable. It’s especially annoying when I'm driving at night.
My daughter wears soft lenses as well. She's at -5.5 with -2.5 astigmatism.
From what I've experienced, people with astigmatism can definitely wear soft lenses.

As for those daily disposables, I'm not entirely sure. I'd guess they aren't more than $100.
The last monthly pack of six I picked up at King Cross was $63.

Jonathan Harris74 said:I always take my glasses off before I jump in the pool, and then I’m basically blind! I’m asking because I have no idea what would work best for me. I read somewhere that there are those disposable contact lenses...

Oh, totally!
You should definitely look into soft daily disposables.
They are absolutely perfect for summer vacations, especially if you aren't the type who wants to lug around bulky cases, solution bottles, and little tweezers.
You just pop a fresh pair in every morning, and then at the end of the day, you just toss them out. It's so easy!
They come individually wrapped, and usually, a single box comes with 30 of them.

Angela Stewart11 said:I stick with semi-rigid lenses because my combination of nearsightedness and astigmatism means soft lenses just don't work for me.

Actually, I disagree!
Both my daughter and I wear soft contact lenses without any issues.

At the end of the day, if you have a lens that feels amazing, there’s absolutely no reason to switch.
For me, hard or semi-rigid lenses are totally out of the question.
It’s either glasses or soft contacts for me!
And when it comes to solutions, definitely just go with whatever feels best for your eyes.
I’ve always found Allergan products to be the absolute best—even compared to those times I struggled with hard lenses back in the day.

Just a funny little trip down memory lane: about 25 years ago, the "gold standard" for cleaning hard lenses was actually using Kossily baby shampoo! I even remember one of my coworkers used to wash hers with Charlie dish soap.

Our elementary school PE teacher actually suggested that we girls should chew gum more often.
Obviously, we have to be discreet about it—not like we're some cows out in a pasture!
She claimed it’s a great way to tone those facial muscles. Honestly, guys get to work on their jawlines every single morning with shaving, so why shouldn't we get a little workout too?

So, ladies, take her advice: grab some gum!

Right now, I am totally hooked on Wrigley's Big Red and Orbit Peppermint.

If you do, you'll be starving—your cells will be on a diet, just hungry and miserable... how terrible! 🙂

1. Well, you can always go back to your trade, like construction or something!
2. Plus, looking at that gorgeous physique in the photo, a little diet might actually do him some good!

nimbledriver81 said:Well, you definitely can't get something for nothing—not from the old-timers, and certainly not from those "nutrition consultants" out there! 🙄 )

Is this some kind of marketing scheme? I honestly can't tell!
If I can actually turn back the clock, heal up, and get strong like Popeye—while staying lean and looking great—people are going to be swarming me like flies!
Imagine if you and Mac could just walk out and buy a massive villa right by that busy downtown intersection in a week! I’m dreaming big today!

Man, if that actually turns out to be true, I'm going to end up paying double for this powder!

James Newman4 said:"It’s honestly much easier to just dive in and feel the difference for yourself. Here’s my take: if you're looking to level up your diet and actually see results—like more energy, better vitality, and easier weight management—you'll find exactly what you need in the cellular nutrition program."

Good luck! 👋

Well, that was exactly the point we were trying to make.
Get this: a little while back, I actually volunteered to be a test subject for a scientific study on how the cellular nutrition program affects your partner, Mac.
We went through the whole nine yards—set up a committee, appointed a chairperson and a treasurer, and even booked a venue!
And in the end? Absolutely nothing happened.

Sarah Gomez52 said:Whether it's hummer or MacGregor, who cares... 🙂
Stop copy-pasting your old posts and go deal with your issues elsewhere... (there's a bathroom for that, not this forum).
And honestly, take a look in the mirror before you try to act like one of those 2 million Americans, because there's no point in bragging about being healthy when you don't even look the part!

You totally beat me to it!
So true!

In many neighborhoods, senior fitness classes are often hosted at local elementary schools, community centers, or even preschools. If you're out for a stroll, just keep an eye out for the flyers posted on the entrance doors!
Retirement communities also frequently host exercise sessions that are open to the public, too.

Regarding HDM, I was browsing their site the other day and couldn't get an order through because they claim the website is under construction. 🙄

It works fine for me!
Just shoot them an email.

I've actually had mine for years now.
If I can help anyone out, I'm happy to!
I ended up ordering my own online through http://www.hdm.us/
With the way the laws are shifting lately, I think they can take organs unless you specifically tell your doctor that you don't want them used.
Someone else might know the specifics better than me.

Larry Lewis2 said:Man, if only we could actually learn medicine from comic books!🙄

Oh, you totally can.
First, you just head down to your local distributor and grab a Herbalife guide titled "Easy Learning: Just Ask Me," and everything falls right into place.
While you're studying your comics, you just sip on a Herbalife shake that nourishes your cells instead of your stomach.
Then, you sign up for an online forum and start acting like an expert based on everything you've learned.

See? It’s possible. You just have to know the trick!

mistybear4 said:I mean, what can I even say? A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, ... 😁 😉

They can be as offended as they want, but you really did show us both sides of the coin.
Let's just hope you're actually looking after both!

mistybear4 said:Anyway, setting that aside—I'm not actually here trying to hit on you, though I certainly won't rule out the possibility if you keep being this persistent! 😁

😂 It looks like mistybear4 is basically building himself a little harem here.
So far, vf9, nimbleskipper13, and I have all received these totally scandalous offers.
If I missed anyone, please forgive me!

Honestly, Mac, with how fit and charming you are, you shouldn't even need to be making these moves on the forum!
