i see.. any other brand recommended?

Best to check your eyes first, whether you are suitable for lens wear or not. If u have high astigmatism then u need toric lens.

Ask the optometrist check your latest refractive error and pupil size.

I wear ACUVUE oasys. Have been seeing some ads for new contact lens brands and thought might be time for a change to give my eyes something new, I've been wearing ACUVUE for more than 10 years!

ACUVUE hasn't been giving me problems, but just wondering if there could be more affordable alternatives that are just as good.

monthly lens cant beat oasys 2 weekly, only oasys daily lens are more comfortable than the 2 weekly, but much more costly.

Oh I see... so oasys is really the best out there? Not keen on daily because of the price. Have stuck with biweekly because of hygiene and comfort factors (compared to monthly) - looks like this was the right move? Haha
*
yup, the oasys biweekly is a very good choice.

Just wondering, how often do you recommend an eye checkup for contact lens prescription? My current prescription dates back to 8 years ago! Wondering if it's time to do an update.

For sharing, I have been checking on my degree (made new spectacles etc) but there hasn't been much change. My degree slightly lowered, but nothing too drastic.
*
Once a year check for anyone above 20, far power stabilise after 20 also unless u torture your eyes with alot of near work. Contact lens check every once a year also for above 20 will do.

For monthly lense, is air optix hydraglyde better than softlens 38?

Air optix has higher oxygen but thicker than soflens 38.

Simply pondering, I know it is anything but a sound practice. I will in general wear my contacts when I have an inclination that it, as in when I'm heading off to some place that is decent. In fact I wear my contacts just like one or two times every week. The rest I simply utilize my glasses. Also, I think that its a loss to toss it following one month opening it. So I will in general still use it considerably following a month considering I once in a while use it. I realize you would state that it isn't prudent, eating games however what can occur if state I keep utilizing it for in any event 3 months? Much obliged!
*
If u can take good care of the lens hygiene then you can still use it until it causes discomfort. The more you used it the more frequent you need to clean it, thus the shape will be distorted.

i plan to wear contact lense daily, is Cooper Vision Clarity 1day good? my eyes very dry and oily.

Oasys dailies lens is the best.

Second choice is 1 day total dailies.

Clariti is not as comfortable as the above 2 lenses.

Hi, i think they are closed now until 31/3.

Rgp definitely is cleaner and vision clearer if compared to soft lens.

Hey jialat, can plano soft contact lens be made smaller than the corneal diameter just like rgp lens? Any possible issues since if it is not used for vision correction?
*
hi, normal cornea size is around 11.5mm, yes you can customize the soft lens to 11.0mm.

rgp is even smaller, but soft lens move much more than rgp, a smaller lens will tend to dislocate easily, thus its not a good idea.

Ultra is no better than miacare or air optix.

Oasys biweekly lens is much better. U should give it a try. Thanks

Hi all , I am new to contact lens and I am thinking to purchase it as well. My SPH is -0.75 and CYL is -1.5 with my left eye. While my right eye has SPH of -0.75 and CYL of -1.25. I think I need a toric lens, maybe ?

I think I would wear it during sports or as usual too.

Could anyone recommend which brand of contact lens that would not break the bank as I am still a student.... Thanks !!!
*
Go for monthly toric lens, high oxygen material. Either air optix toric or biofinity toric, both are equally good. U can pm me for price if u interested. I can give u student discount.

Hi, i am trying to switch from glasses to contact lens recently.
i am using clariti 1 day toric, but after around 3 hours putting on the lens, my eyes turn red at the sides and my eyes feel strained/tired, but the sclera near the pupil still white though, just can see the red nerve appears at the back of the eyes.

my eyes tend to dry easily even without lens.

should i change my lens or i should try using lens drops like blink-n-clean?
*
please change the place you get the lenses from

wrong lens, wrong power

dry eyes not suitable to use daily lens which has high water content to draw more tears from your eyes

eyes feel strained and tired, means wrong power

I have dry eyes as well, does that mean I am not suitable for Acuvue Moist Daily with astigmatism? I thought Moist is supposed to provide water to your eyes instead of drawing more tears from your eyes
I am thinking either to buy daily Acuvue Oasys or Moist with astigmatism

i personally prefer oasys biweekly toric lenses, J&J recently launched their oasys daily toric lenses also, and its very comfortable too.
