^ I don't know, I'm kind of confused now too.
Yes, i am confused too.
as mentioned, the beauty forum has advised this rule:
4. DO NOT ASK FOR SPECIFIC MEDICAL ADVICE
Obviously, the majority of soompiers are around the same age and thus the knowledge is equal as well.
Soompiers are not certified to give serious medical advice, so PLEASE consult your doctor.However, the person that started this thread gave advice. I'm not an optician and by law (at my province), i'm not suppose to offer any medical advice at my work place and only licensed opticians can. People that are interested or have questions in regards to contacts are advised to seek medical help, or EMAIL CERTIFIED CONTACT LENSES SITES (THAT HAVE OPTICIANS) TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. So.. why isn't this sensored? I'm confused here too. yes there is a disclamer but I still don't get it.
Disclaimer: This thread is to share pictures and discuss all things related to circle contact lenses. To keep the thread open, please follow the rules :]. If you want to know where to find them, you can PM other users and keep those kind of questions out of the thread. Soompi will not be held responsible in any ways should you buy the lenses and have any complications.
Can people with astigmatism wear circle lenses?
This depends on the brand and seller. For example, G&G DOES make Circle Lenses for astigmitism, BUT these are not the same as their Circle Lenses or Cosmetic Circle Lenses. Research the brand to find out the best choice so you don't order the wrong kind.
How do I take care of my circle lenses?
You take care of them like any other contact lenses. You should only wear them up to 6 hours at a time and always keep them in a contact lense case with solution when you aren't wearing them. It's very important to put your contact on and take them off with CLEAN HANDS! If your hands are dirty, you can get debris or harmful substances in your eyes which can lead to irritation and even blindness! Wash your hands before putting them in/taking them out and make sure to rub your fingers with contact solution after washing your hands.
Clean your lenses before and after you wear them. To clean your lenses, with clean hands, pour some solution onto the lens and rub between your thumb and other finger. When storing, always replace the solution and clean the case so your lenses can soak in fresh, clean solution.
Help! My contacts are hurting my eyes!
TAKE THEM OUT.
Are they clean? Did you put them in on the right side? If your lenses are causing discomfort, do not wear them! Remember, they are cosmetic, just like eyeliner or foundation. If your foundation was giving you a rash, you shouldn't wear it anymore. Same as contacts!
Should I put in my contacts before or after applying makeup?
I reccomend putting your lenses on before putting on your makeup. You fingers can easily catch makeup residue and washing them doesn't always get it off. However, if your hands are perfectly clean, it doesn't matter.
However, it IS easier to put in your lenses after you've curled your lashes.
How long to these lenses last?
They all depend. You can get them as daily desposibles, weeklys, monthlys, 3-month, 6-month, or 1 year. Ask the seller and check the company website.

Maybe I'm just a bit sensitive because this hasn't happened to me before. I've been on soompi for a long time... and I follow the rules religiously (even when soompi first started, the rules weren't complicated), I wouldn't do anything stupid or say anything offensive because I strongly believe that even though this is online, I should treat everyone with respect and follow the rules.
