Contact lens help required

[Brian d marge]

I) wear +7 in both eyes ( too much pron ,,,me thinks ) Anyway for years I have been getting my lenses from Coastal contacts in America .....

then it went pear shaped , coastal opened a new branch in Japan , who do not stock my size ... Coastal America will not ship ,,because they say you should go to the site in Japan catch 22

The opticians over here cant get +7 ( +6.5 at a stretch ) and the opticians in NZ will not cough up without a prescription and this is proving to be a major pain in the arse to get as I take +5 for driving ,,,which is what they want to write on the prescription ...ok for driving but not ok for reading ( dont ask ..that pron is dangerous )


SOOOO Seeing its easier to buy a Kilo of Cocaine than it is +7 lenses , If anyone wants to do a trade , Ill send a K of Coke in exchange for a pair of +7 lenses

Any takers???

+7?? Holy Monkey.

Have you considered using one of those "mail to" companies in the States?

You buy them, they get delivered to the States address, and they forward them to you. There's a fee involved, but it doesn't sound like that's you major.

Have you considered LASIK - I've never regretted it?

We use www.lensesonline.co.nz . I've got a weird torric lens and they seem to have no probs getting them. We havent supplied presciptions to them just select the lens we want and hey presto our moneys gone and I can see again

I just looked at lensesonline.co.nz and they list +7 lenses in Oasis type. I can recommend these guys. Good price and the gear turns up before you log off the computer. If they won't deal with you overseas, I could forward them on for you. You have an honest avatar,,hehehe.

How about http://www.contacts2go.co.nz/ ? Here them advertised on the radio every now and then.

My eyes are so shot I require glasses while riding, they don't make contacts that are strong enough to fix my vision.

thanks for all the help
yes Lasik has been considered .... Have got onto the NZ site , seem ok ..I managed to order some through an American company , spoke to a nice lady called mARIE ..with ya 'all have a nice day now you hear ,,,,,,,,( they REALLY DO speak like that!)
So will give them a chance .....

Oh well I supose I will just have to use the coke myself and get back to posting on KB

Google.

I've used contacts2go.co.nz (slightly cheaper in multipacks) and lensesonline.co.nz (cheaper for low-volume orders, 2 boxes does me 3 months). When I went looking a mate was getting 6-12 months worth ex-Canada, cheapest he could find. One of the above is the same company operating locally, IIRC.

Most NZ sites have a tick-box to declare you've seen an optician in the last 2 years, or something.

My friend's eyes were too far gone for Laser surgery, so they inserted a lens inside the eyeball. It's a newish technique and she seems happy with it

It is the weird shit that is so disturbing

One of my exchange kids offered me up something she was positively drooling over. Mark had already turned her down. I thought he was bing a girl and not wanting to offend Yoko I said "yes please".

Worst thing I have ever put in my mouth, bar nothing

Dried octopus If I think about it I can still taste it

I dont want to put the words up describing what it might have tasted like, but vile is the closest word I can think of. That was a definite spit! YUK!

Will bear your very kind offer in mind though.
