I figured if Everyone knew it was fake I might as well go with those colors but clear is good too

but Black Rob said: Whoah!!!


Before you run off to buy contacts...you might want to check with an optimitrist first to see if any thing can be done to correct the problem.

From what I've seen, often glasses and contacts WORSEN the problem by making the eyes weaker and dependant on them.

I know plenty of people who's eye sight actually impoved when they changed thier diet and stopped wearing glasses.

Ahmeed can you tell me what changes can be done to my diet. I started wearing glasses about a year ago and hated it I have recently started wearing contacts (plain) and feel less self-conscious. However I do not want to have to depend on these for the rest of my life.

Wait a minute, I ain't Jesus bringing sight to the blind.

I said I knew plenty of people who improved thier sight by changing their diet but that doesn't mean your diet is always the problem.


But as for the people I know who's sight HAS improved.....

For one, they stopped eating so many refined carbohydrates like candy, pastries, and drinking pop and it regulated their blood sugar and insulin levels.

Too much sugar/starch in your system acts like an acid and not only makes you sluggish but also eats at the nerves in your eyes and other parts of your body.


Also, I know a few...actually more than a few...who said their eyesight got better after they stopped consuming "diet" products.

It seems that the aspartame (nutrasweet) contained in these products were f*cking up the nerves in their eyes.

Well I say if you want contacts for style, get them but if your vision is just a little bad, stay away from glasses and prescribed contacts because you will see over time, your eyes will definitly get worst.  When I was a kid I wore glasses and my eyes were just a little blurry.  I wore prescribed contacts for years and now that I'm an adult, I can barely see without them let alone drive a car or something.  You better off just using your own eye muscles rather then weakening them and becoming completely dependent on glasses or contacts like me.  If your black even if your lightskin, stay away from blue and rich bright green colors because it looks stupid and very fake.  Try something like the blended colors contacts thats hazel and green mixed or chestnut, they look more natural and detailed depending on your complexion and hair color.

blkclapWell said,ChubbiChix (cool name btw) i saw a beautiful dark skinned black girl last month on the train. But when i sat opposite her i could feel myself staring at her she had baby blue contacts!

She looked like a alien even the little boy sitting on the other side of the train asked his Dad "whats wrong with that ladies eyes Daddy?"bighairlol

ahmaad has a point people! i've had the need to wear glasses to nine years but for the past two i have reduced the amount of time i use them. being short-sighted, i'm expected to wear them all day but its rare as i use them at uni for reading a projected presentation. my eye-sight has noticeably improved but i know its never going to be as perfect as it was when i was a kid.
 
laser surgery is an option if you've but the cash however.
 
btw, carrots don't improve your vision at all, they only help to maintain what you already have and so reduce the likelihood of deteriorating vision.

i have fair black skin and i am getting contact lenses, i think these blue ones look really good.

http://www.freshlookcontacts.com/html/colorselector.shtml

i think sometimes it does look a bit fake to have blue eyes on a black person, but i just really want some. my indian friends wear green ones, and some of my black friends have light brown ones.

do you think these blue ones look stupid?

what do u think of blacks with coloured lenses?

niceone.gifWell put my beautiful little POP-EYED sista!

When I was 9 years old I was told I needed glasses too,  but my mother couldn't afford them and now decades later my sight in only slightly worse but I can still function without them.

 


TheBrotha:

Do you know what else affects you eye-sight and can give you problems?

You car windshield.


If  it has distortions and defects it can give your eyes unnecessary strain along with head-aches and you wouldn't even know the cause.
