Yea cause Menara is a franchise, so the franchisee don't have much freedom in pricing.

True also, prices all marked up by their principal.

Have been wearing contact lens for 10+ years. What do you think about lasik?

Lasik is ok for those age 20+ to below 40.

my recommendation:

Daily toric : clariti daily toric
biweekly toric: oasys toric
monthly toric: biofinity toric

best comfort wise: oasys toric, much softer and higher oxygen

I bought a contact lens. When I try to put, after a few blink it will came out. Then i try other brand. Disn't came out but i feel uneasy in my eyes. Feels like there's a small stone inside it. Is it normal? I thought when wear a contact lens, you dont feel anything inside your eyes. Help. Wasting so much money on contact lens

Hi

Ive been using B&L38 contact lens for the past 10 years.

Recently felt uncomfortable because i wear for more than 12 hours daily. So i tried air optix aqua since last week and i experienced blurry image, not as sharp as when i wore b&l. What could be the reason?

And any recommendation for better lens?

Thanks.
*
There are a few better options but its best you find a good optometrist to perform over refraction to check your latest contact lens power.

Jialat I remember once you recomended a shop to get eye sight tested and buying lenses from it was reasonable too. Somewhere in puchong? Can pass me the address again?

Not in puchong, go to usj optometrist in taipan, 28 jln usj 10/1E, subang jaya.

Must be but the old place I got is willing to offer same old pricing. Anyway at least the seller was friendly. For eye sight they just use the machine. I was expecting them to do more than just the machine.
*
Normally they check on top of contact lens, unless the power same like your old lens power and vision still clear. U can go back for recheck if contact lens vision not clear, thats the most accurate way of getting the lens power.

I have been using acuvue clear monthly, for like forever. Then, all shop said it has discontinued. Anyone knows and can propose similar lenses with same range of price? Tried B&L but not comfortable wearing it.
*
Acuvue clear has been recalled and discontinued because it allows very little oxygen to pass through the lens lead to many unhealthy eyes as people tend to overwear it for long hours.

Better lens cost much higher than acuvue clear, but its better for your corneal health.

Lens with low oxygen, Cornea becomes less clear without you notice it.

Hi jialat, I've been using Acuvue Clear for years but since they've discontinued the product, can you give me some recommendation on which brand I should switch to?

Looking for monthly use and I wear them to work at least 5 days a week, 8-9hrs a day. Dealing with computer and microscope.
My readings are 2.75 and 3.00. Curvature is 8.4 (which i think is quite small and not many brands have it?)

Thank you in advance smile.gif
*
Hi, i afraid none of the remaining monthly lens has 8.4 bc, you can get a pair of biofinity or miacare monthly lens to try first before getting them in box.

That's a bad news..What will happen if I wear lenses with different BC? Will it cause discomfort or fall off?
*
most monthly lens are 8.6 mm, difference of 0.2mm only from acuvue clear, u wont feel the curvature.

the material is different now, so u will feel its more difficult to remove after wearing long hours.

I need another brand of contact lens. My power is about 1.50 and 2.00.

My current contact lens (forgotten brand name)  tends to make my eye dry and discomfort whenever i wear more than 6 hours. 

Any brand to recommend for monthly?, and price?
*
miacare monthly clear lens not too bad, rm 50 a box, buy more for better discount. Oxygen flux is 187.5, much higher than air optix or biofinity.

I tried Miacare color daily lens but end up my eyeballs got redness, around the lens and it normally takes more than one day to go off.
Not a frequent user but just wear it for function.
*
Best color lens is infiniti color monthly lens, soft and very comfortable. Miacare color daily is still thicker than normal color lens.

Hi Jialat, with the risk of 3 & 9 o'clock staining and upper lid ptosis from wearing RGP lens, do you think it is better to avoid RGPs if there are no major prescription issues like high astig etc.?
*
3&9 o clock staining is due to poor fitting lens. Ptosis not really caused by RGP which is much thinner nowadays, mainly due to pulling the eyelids too hard after many many years lead to weakened lid muscles.

Low astig can go for soft toric lens.

Hi jialat, what is your opinion on dailies total ? Saw advertisement about it.. I want to buy daily contact lens . My eyes tend to dry very fast whenever I wear contact lens and this caused discomfort. The last one I tried is acuvue clear toric
*
There is no such lens as acuvue clear toric.

Total 1 day is very good daily lens but no astigmatism correction, no toric available.
