latest are biofinity multifocal (monthly) and acuvue moist multifocal (daily). they are equally bad, none stands out better than the previous multifocal.

is wearing contact lens advisable for someone who spends lots of time in front of the computer like me?

also my glasses' lens are pretty thick. does that mean i won't be able to wear contact lens? i think my power around 500+.

thats considered low power.

u can wear contact lens or glasses, no difference as long as u can see clear and comfortable.

i struggled so much putting my right lens and end up with red eye. should i keep the contact lens on?

nevermind i left it on and it was fine.

Hi jialat. Ive just started using contact lenses. Did an eye check r 550 with 1.0 astig. L 500 with 0.5

Are astig lenses necessary for my astig conditions?

Yes your right side need toric lens that correct astigmatism. Left side no need

thanks for the reply

any particular brand that u would recommend for left and toric lens for right eye?
I usually wear for 10-12 hours (normal office hours + occasional sports). and night time driving

editted (i would prefer monthly prescriptions but open to others as long theyre economical. hehe.

thank you

monthly lens are quite worth, just take good care of them for long hours usage.

biofinity for left, biofinity toric for right, this lens is quite comfy and high oxygen flux.

I am looking for soft contact lens that can cater for myopia, high astigmatism and presbyopia conditions. Any recommended solution? Am currently using iGel toric lens but it doesn't cater for presbyopia.

igel toric has stopped production at least 2 years ago, but they never do multifocal toric soft lens.

there is multifocal toric soft lens but they cost very high (ard 3k+ a pair) and vision not 100% clear due to small lens cant fit in all power nicely.

What would be a recommended replacement for igel toric lens then for both permanent and disposable type? Thanks.

how high is your astigmatism?

flexcon toric is the only permanent toric lens available in local market unless u order oversea lens but expensive.

I can't recall the exact number but it is somewhere between 1.0 and 1.75 on both sides. I know is on the high side.

its actually very low, u get me the exact power then i can recommend you better lens than those yearly lenses.

Ok, great. Will need to go hunt down those numbers.

you can go for eye check by optometrist and get the latest power is better.

Hi
Biofinity and Air optix considered soft type of contact lens?

yes, both are soft. quite similar in terms of softness.

Hi, I am currently wearing glasses and plan to get a contacts to wear occasionally. For my type of usage is it preferred to get daily lens or monthly type? Also, what are the recommended brands? I've only heard of Bausch and Lomb and only Airoptics after reading the first page. Will get a prescription from optician soon but would like to know some info beforehand.

hard to recommend without knowing your prescription and purpose of contact lens usage.
