Hi. What is the difference between normal and toric lense? And also what are good and affordable brands for monthly contacts?

Toric lens is for astigmatism (rabun silau) of -0.75 and above.

Monthly lens recommended is Air Optix as you always heard on radio nowadays, its suitable for dry and sensitive eyes. 5 times more oxygen compared to other normal hydrogel lens can passed thru the lens to reach your eyes.

i have very light power, 175. I am looking for daily lens, usually wear for about 7hr a day.

any lens that suits me? may i know where do you cod?

Any daily lens will suit you because only 7 hours wear a day. COD in my friends shop if u wish, thanks

location in？

Location is subang jaya area. If too far, then pos laju, Rm 6. Thanks

compared to soflens, air optix is better?

air optix is definitely much better than softlens. 5 times more oxygen, and much easier to take care and handle. thanks

The price?

Usually if soflens RM45 will got 1 box = 3 pairs.

air optix is also rm 45 a box, but only 3 pieces.

ts, i would like to know if ortho-k lenses available in malaysia? my spec power lense is below 150, but i have little astig n dry eye. if i want to wear CL, which one is good? RGP or softlense?? tq

yes, its widely available but it depends on the ortho K lens fitter skill.

u can try air optix for a start, its suitable for dry eyes and healthy with more oxygen passing through it.

Dear TS,

I'm using B&L Multi focal BC:8.8; PWR:-6.5 ADD: Low and also
using B&L HD soft len with reading glasses.
I don't really fancy multi focal lenses as it only able to last about 6 hours, then my eyes get very tried and dry.
I need lenses for long hours wear, that why I switch to the HD lenses.
My question are:-
1. Any alternative soft lenses you can recommend for both Multi Focal and not multi focal.

2. Is Ortho-K suitable for me?

3. Have you heard of LOYAL Eye Clinic, Pakar Ortho-K, Mata, 26 Jalan SJ 17, Taman Selayang Jaya, Batu Caves 68100, Selangor.? They seems to provide Ortho-K lenses.

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon, I would recommend you to try air optix multifocal as your eyes are dry and tried after long hours wear. Vision might not be as clear as softlens multifocal but no harm trying. The same goes for normal lens too, just try air optix to see.

orthoK is not suitable for you, unless you prepared to go for monovision, 1 eye for far vision and 1 eye for near vision.

Yes, i saw the advertisement in newspaper before. I find it weird because they also provide chinese traditional medicine, i dont know how good they are. But as far as i know, hospital selayang eye clinic team doesnt refer any patient to them.

any recommendations on contact lens solution? I'm currently using acuvue. Need something that is suitable for me since i usually wear it for more than 12 hours a day

Hi, u can try Bausch & Lomb biotrue because it keeps the moist in contact lens for 20 hours, longest possible among all the solution that i have tried before. Its not stingy too, very close to our eyes natural pH.

Just make sure u dont use solo care aqua because my friends in singapore said they have problem and have stopped selling it.

I'm toric lenses wearer.
Tried SoftLens Toric, PureVision Toric, Bioclear Toric - Neither satisfied me (not comfortable)

Now using Oasys Toric - Quite satisfied and comfortable.

The only problem with Acuvue is its hefty price in the long run.
Do you think there are other brands that can give me at least the same level of comfort with Oasys Toric? I'm considering to try Air Optix.

how much is it in the market? Only optic shop sells it? And what kind of problem? I am using solo care aqua and to me, its actually more comfortable and better to Renu. Last time when i use renu, my eye get sore very easily

Yes, oasys toric is very expensive in long run. And recently more and more complaints of dry corneal problem beneath the lens due to its edge design that some optometrists think it reduced the tears exchange. Most of these patients have switched to air optix toric without any problem, and its cheaper also. check out my price and u know its worth. u can buy 1 pair to try 1st if u worry. thanks


Buy now because biotrue has rm 10 off now. I am not sure pharmacy sells it or not but some optical shops sell them.

I am not sure, but my optical shop friends heard from many ciba vision salesman that it will be stopped by end of this year also.

Thank you very much.

By the way, what would be the price for Air Optix Multifocal and Air Optix normal softlenses be?

Thanks
