Hi jialat bro.im a keratakonus patient done cornea transplant in both eyes few years back..now using sclreal leans..having severe dry eye too.currently using Boston simplus for cleaning and soaking..goverment hospital they recommend me to use separate Boston advance cleaner and conditioning for better cleaning..any other better cleaner or Boston is good enough..thank you

So I've just been to a store nearby. Is Bausch & Lomb a good brand for contact lenses?It's Soflens 38 apparently? Or should I just avoid?
Also, soflens 38 can wear for how long max? can wear for 12 hours like that? and compared to biofinity? which is the best for 12hours+/- wear?

Has anyone sleep in softlens 38? I take the commuter to work and sometimes take a nap for 20-30 min. If Im wearing softlens then is it a problem?

First time user (going to), I'll probably get the cheap softlens, and if I'm ok with contacts over glasses, I guess I'll make a move for the more expensive ones.

Yeah, quite true. Why risk eyesight for a couple bucks. There seems to be a few other options for silicon hydrogel lens too in the shop I went... altho i feel its better i double check here to see if its actually good.

What about Clariti Elite by Coopervision? How good/shitty is 86 Dk/t ? 12hrs +/- with nap boleh?

Yeah, I guess so, I tend to fall asleep easily and it's a bit of a hassle taking it out and putting it in each time (esp. outside the house)

Also, how does biofinity compare to purevision 2? Apparently its approved for up to 30 days 30 nights (wont wear it for that long la, but it sounds good), which is better?

what do you think of the air optix with hydraglyde?

is there anybody who have the problem where the eye is blurry after removing contacts and wearing glasses? what does it mean? the contacts are fine when i put them on but glasses seem like they are of lesser power even though they are the same power.

thanks really relieved! both power are -3.5 should be ok rite? how long will it take for it to go away? (cos its already been a day i havent worn them) and yeah, im using a shitty pair of encore a lenses. will be ordering better ones online.

stupid question but all contact lens power the same right? like my encore a is -3.50 and I ordered biofinity from online.. can use the same power -3.50 uh?

Quick question, are eye wetting drops necessary to have with you at all times (esp. outside the house) when wearing contacts? Don't really have dry eyes and all so far, but I guess that will develop over time when wearing contacts based on what I read online? Newb to contact lenses haha

I see I see. Also, what are your thoughts on opti-free replenish solution? wanted to get biotrue after reading your posts in this thread but the places I went didnt seem to have it and I was in bit of a rush... Is it alright, or do I have to consider getting a new one soon?

Ok so I had an eye test again and apparently my eyes are now -4.00. the optician ordered -4.00 lenses. is it fine, should lower? Wordings on the chart were blurry with -3.50 if it helps

Its also a bit shocking that my eye power went from -3.50 to -4.00 in around 2 years. is that normal?

Hi Jialat, can you recommend the better ones for daily use, long hours, sensitive eyes, and suitable for water sports if that should be a concern. Also, are daily lens better than bi-weekly or monthly? Thank you.

My glasses prescription:

Right -4.25 / -0.50 x 132
Left -4.25 / -0.50 x 175

I used to be a daily contact lens user. I have tried Air Optix monthly but not comfortable. Have switched to Acuvue Oasys bi-weekly but eyes were still dry that I needed to apply eyedrops (perhaps affected by long working hours back then OT until midnight in front of laptop). After that I stopped wearing contact lens on daily basis.

I am now using Coopervision Clariti 1 Day for gym, water sports and parties. But I can feel my eyes are slightly warm everytime after removing the lens. Not sure why..

Thanks. Self collect from ur store or delivery?

Hi,

Need some feedback here.

I used to wear contact lenses without any issues, but lately (i.e past 2 years), quite frequently after wearing for short duration (i.e 2-3 hours), I felt like a dust/particle went into my eyes. After I removed my lenses, it’s still in my eye (so confirmed something went in). Happened to both the old Air Optix and the recent new Air Optix HydraGlyde.

It sound simple enough, dust just went in, but I just cannot figure out the reason why it only happen mostly when I wear lenses only, and cannot be so much dust wherever I go.

Can only think of these possibilities:-
- contact lens not suitable
- some medical condition
- really that much dust haha but cannot really make sense

Hi there eveyronee! I've been using contact lenses for a few years now. I started off with acuvue moist daily, and then air optix monthly. Most recently on and off also, I've been using some Freshkon coloured lenses (daily).

I would like to switch back to clear lenses now as I find my eyes getting dry quite easily esp in AC areas.

So i've been looking at Air Optix day & night, Air Optix Aqua and also Biofinity. Which do you think will be a better choice for my case?

Thanks

Hi, i have been using acuvue moist daily for around 2 years now but its always dry at the end of the day.
Can you recommend me most suitable daily contact lens for dry eyes?
Also i want to try weekly contact lens so can you recommend for dry eyes?
One eye have astigmatism and one dont have
Power for one eye is 350 and another is 400

Hi Jialat,

I just went for an eye check and got my glasses changed. My new powers are:

L -4.75/-1.00/35
R -4.75/-0.75/155

It was suggested that I get contact lenses of the power below:

L -4.50/-0.75/40
R -4.50/-0.75/160

My old contact lenses (Acuvue Moist for Astig) are of this powers:

L -4.75/-0.75/60
R -4.75/-0.75/160

Question:
1) Can I still use my old contact lenses?
2) I don't use contacts very often, they make me dizzy and it is uncomfortable. What is causing this? has it got to do with the power or the type of lenses?

TIA!

Are you an optometrist? Do you sell contacts lenses? How much do you sell?
