Hi everyone,
I've tried many different brands of contact lens some with higher water content & silicone hydro-gel type. Yet i still feel my eyes dry quite fast.
Is it normal or I naturally have dry eyes.

Hi Jialat,

Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism lot numbers B00GW4Z and B00HRMG, which contained lenses being “off power”. “Off power” lenses cause distortion or blurriness for the consumer. I just know that off power can happen. So the recall only in Singapore?

hi, i really wonder what test they did on ur eyes to conclude that ur eyes are prone to irritation. are these people optometrist? or just optician?

the 3 days trial lens thingy is either acuvue moist or trueye, they are daily lens and those 2 are not for sensitive eyes. i seriously doubt their intention to find u a suitable lens, they are just trying to sell u the most expensive lens in market so they can rip more profit from u.

trueye is silicone hydrogel daily lens but these lens have been causing a lot of problem in oversea, johnson & johnson has recalled many of this lens, pls google for more information, just type trueye recall.

acuvue moist is 1 of the best daily lens in market but its not designed for sensitive eyes.

u should use acuvue oasys if u really have sensitive eyes, its 2-weekly lens and 1 of the most comfortable silicone hydrogel lens.

Wow. It has been three years! So those who used sure already kena lo.

How about 30,000 boxes of contact lenses that found to be contaminated with foreign substance. So far only Japan, Taiwan and Singapore take action? I only saw a post by online news, called the coverage.

It mentioned those products that are affected were reportedly manufactured between March 2013 and June 2017. Not sure how serious it was, but seem like J&J have poor products control.

Hi Jialat,

How do we know or realized the contact lens are off power? Does it means that we can't see clearly and will feel dizzy?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

Do you see the below brand sell in Malaysia? I found out that this brand is new and own by Malaysian. So, I wonder will it be cheaper and good in quality.

Those affected stocks were recalled long time ago.

The most recent recall stocks are not distributed to Malaysia, thats why we dont get any info from local j&j.

I am not sure whether the brand is OEM product or not.

Lower quality control?

Thank you very much.

Still looking for a clearer and sharper vision for presbyopia.
So far tested most still can't find one that is suitable. Further to that, now a days, most optical shops don't carry out proper test for you as I guess not much profit to make after they prescribed you, you can actual buy from else where.

contact lens prices are terrible nowadays but they still should do over refraction on top of lenses to find the best prescription.

Look for those individual outlet run by optometrist, dont go chain stores which mostly hire optician who dont perform over refraction on contact lens.
