Look for those individual outlet run by optometrist, dont go chain stores which mostly hire optician who dont perform over refraction on contact lens.
Noted with thanks!Contact lens information, as requested by members

Well, I'm new to this, and I'm planning to get contacts. It seems that I should opt for monthly contacts, as it's cheaper? Just normal use.
Also, how much is the cost, per year? Including the price of the contacts, maintenance and all. This post has been edited by roy595: Jan 14 2018, 09:02 PM |

Scleral lens is filled with artificial eyedrop, it should not caused dry eyes because your cornea is soaked with eyedrop all time when wearing the lens. |

So I've just been to a store nearby. Is Bausch & Lomb a good brand for contact lenses?It's Soflens 38 apparently? Or should I just avoid?
Also, soflens 38 can wear for how long max? can wear for 12 hours like that? and compared to biofinity? which is the best for 12hours+/- wear? This post has been edited by roy595: Jan 29 2018, 12:12 AM |

Soflens 38 are very very basic lens. Max 8 hours per day.Also, soflens 38 can wear for how long max? can wear for 12 hours like that? and compared to biofinity? which is the best for 12hours+/- wear? Biofinity has much more oxygen than soflens 38. More than 12 hours also no problem. |

Has anyone sleep in softlens 38? I take the bus and sometimes take a nap for 20-30 min. If Im wearing softlens then is it a problem?
First time user (going to), I'll probably get the cheap softlens, and if I'm ok with contacts over glasses, I guess I'll make a move for the more expensive ones. This post has been edited by roy595: Feb 2 2018, 09:03 AM |

You only have one pair of eyes. Dont take risk with low oxygen permeability lens.First time user (going to), I'll probably get the cheap softlens, and if I'm ok with contacts over glasses, I guess I'll make a move for the more expensive ones. |

Yeah, quite true. Why risk eyesight for a couple bucks. There seems to be a few other options for silicon hydrogel lens too in the shop I went... altho i feel its better i double check here to see if its actually good.
What about Clariti Elite by Coopervision? How good/shitty is 86 Dk/t ? 12hrs +/- with nap boleh? This post has been edited by roy595: Feb 2 2018, 09:02 AM |
