Hi jialat, want to know which brand should i go to for daily astigmatism contact lens? currently using Air optic monthly lens.

Noticed this B&L astigmatism daily lens but not sure if the moisture level is good enough as I tend to have dry eyes due to long hours of working with laptop/screen/phone

thank you

Thanks, but I rarely wear so I prefer daily lens. And no need to clean and can throw away at the end of the day

I personally prefer using spectacles.  Feel that contacts use for sports or special purposes will do. For looks, wearing specs looks good too, just need to choose the frame that suits your face.

However I have a friend, a bit concerned for her because she always prefer use contacts, says that wearing spectacles feel uncomfortable for her eyes. Got such thing? Thought spectacles is more comfy? Maybe her spectacles the power not right la. Any specs shop can recommend which does a good job for this?

I see. The power around 400+. Klang Valley.

I went to another optometrist to check my power and get a new pair of lens (Acuvue Moist 1 day)

Eyes no longer feel strained and tired but it still turns red after few hours...
Do you sell contacts lens in pairs? because i want to try various brand (oasys toric/air optix) before i buy a box.

Thanks Jialat this thread is like over 10years old already but you still actively helping the fellow lens users.

does anyone know about RGP lenses ? what's the typical cost in malaysia ?

Hey, Jialat! May I know if you have physical store? My contact lens is finishing soon. I am considering checking my power again and changing contact lens. My current one is coopervision biomedics 1-day and been wearing it for years when doing sports. My eyes becoming dry if i wear it for more than 6 hours. Looking for daily lens.

Hi all, my daughter is the only one in the family wearing glasses. Now need to get contact lens for her due to her sporting activity. May i know which brand and type recommended? Will only be using them during competition, exams etc...not daily. Thanks

Are there contact lenses for my power 800/900 blind eyes? :'D
I'm going to need them going snorkeling for a few days.
Just wear for a few days can liao, roughly how much like that?

I agree with this. Just tried Acuvue Oasys 1-day Astigmatism and so far it is the most comfortable one!
I used to have dry eyes and red eyes few years ago when trying different brand last time, but have no issue with this Acuvue Oasys 1-day.
Anyway I have a question..

My optometrist recommended this prescription for my contact lens.
Here are my RX of glasses and contact lens.
Current glasses prescription
............              SPH    CYL  AXIS 
R (OD)  -1.25  -2.25  175
L (OS)    -1.75  -2.00    5

Contact lens Prescription
............              SPH  CYL  AXIS  BC    S 
R (OD)  -1.25  -1.25  180  8.5  14.3
L (OS)    -1.25  -1.25  180  8.5  14.3
I see huge difference (-0.5) between the RX of my glasses and contact lens but for my right eye it remains the same. For astigmatism, both also have huge RX difference.

Is it normal?

Optometrist said my R eye has got slightly worsen myopia while L eye has got slightly worsen astigmatism, but I can choose to continue using my current lens as

Thanks. I will ask her again soon.

She said contact lens power is normally weaker than glasses because it sits directly infront of eyes, while glasses have like distance (1cm+) between eyes and glasses.

>Yes, it’s applicable for higher power, for example above -4.00.
>>Yes. this is what I read online as well.

I already bought the prescription as prescribed by my optometrist (1-day Acuvue Oasys with Astig) and will try it tomorrow and see how.

If it isn't clear then will try the prescription given by you.

Anyway, wearing wrong prescrption of contact lens won't damage the eyes right?

Thanks.

Just to give you an update. I tried the contact lens RX given by my optometrist and I feel that it is clear. Wearing the 1 day Acuvue Oasys with Astigmatism for 13 hours also no problem. I would say the clarity is like 95% of my glasses vision.

Will finish this box then see how again

Hi Jialat,

My current prescription are:-
R - sph:-6.75 Add: 2.75
L - sph :-6.75 Cyl:-0.25 Axis: 170 Add:2.75

What would be the best multi focal contact lens prescription?

Hi guys,

Where can i buy acuvue oasys daily for astigmatism in PJ area? Which has ready stock.

Thanks

By right, how long can contacts ideally be used? If let's say I wake up 7.30am and put, and only reach home at 10pm+ to take out, is that okay or not?

My friend uses monthly extended wear lenses, but he actually only takes them out to change once a month!!

He says he feels perfectly comfortable, been doing that for years...

What brands / model do you recommend please?
Wah have such lenses? Which type? Doesn't sound that safe

He's using Air Optix monthly disposable multifocal.

He tells me taking the lenses out to wash has a higher risk of infection...

The monthly or biweekly lenses have to wash in the solution right?

Any spectacle shop can do contact lenses for me, or are there things to take note of?
