- Are you going to costco or your eye doctor? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 19, 09:58 3
  - Eye doctor. Costco also wanted me to schedule a separate mid-week appointment (roughly an hour long) to go over how to insert and remove the lenses. - elf kelly Dec 19, 10:03
  - The really important question is why does kelly not want to wear sexy geek glasses anymore -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 10:00 1
    - Hurricane Toddler broke my good pair and has done...something...with my spare pair. (Hidden? Thrown in a garbage can? Who knows.) -- nm - elf kelly Dec 19, 10:04
- simple simple. they ought to give you a free one. - Reagen Dec 19, 09:40 14
  - yep, and you should replace them every so often (they are really cheap) -- nm - decline Dec 19, 09:56 1
    - And, depending on what type of cleaning solution/saline you use they often come included. -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 19, 10:11
  - Yeah. And the saline is something you could just keep loose in your glove compartment or purse -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 09:48 1
    - don't keep it in the car. the temperature extremes could affect it. it's not just saline; there are stabilizers and crap. -- nm - zork Dec 19, 10:21

      - seriously. wtf -- nm - JaxSean Dec 19, 09:57
      - Heh. I wasn't sure either. I assumed picking up a fallen lens or something? -- nm - elf kelly Dec 19, 09:45 3
        
        If you're getting soft lenses (i'm assuming) trying to pick them up with tweezers would tear/rip them, so you wouldn't want to do that. :) -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 19, 10:03 1
        
        if you don't use metal ones and you don't clamp down with all your might, they should be fine. As I said above, plastic ones can help some people. -- nm - zork Dec 19, 10:24

        [deleted]
        
        Calling it a 'floor' is slightly misleading. It's a pretty tiny section of glass, unless it's been updated since 2001. -- nm - Shaun Dec 19, 09:44
