'WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN O2 OPTIX & AIR OPTIX, WHICH IS BETTER?"

i usually directed them to another member's thread in kopitiam, but i would summarized it here.
both o2 optix & air optix are manufactured by ciba vision.

AIR OPTIX has the same material but with copolymer 845 to improve surface properties, to mousse foams and form clear, smooth-feeling, non-tacky films on lens surface.

air optix is aspheric design while o2 is spherical design.

aspheric lens offer thinner periphery thus less lens edge sensation, so better comfort. some said it offers better visual acuity but i personally did not feel any difference compared to spherical lens.

i tried both before, even with 1 piece o2 optix on 1 eye and air optix on another eye but honestly i cant feel any difference in terms of vision and comfort.

Will wearing contact lenses be harmful to the eyes? Will it affect our vision in the future?

Hi, I have astigmatism and would like to try coloured lenses. I have drier eyes and am currently using Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism(very much enjoying the lenses). Do you have any recommendations for colour toric lenses that aren’t that drying? Thank you very much!

Also, initially I was thinking to try biofinity. But I read your post you were saying biofinity are harder to remove. May I know is it because the lenses are thinner?

All color lens are more dry than clear lens, especially u used to oasys. Color toric lens RM 240 a pair if u interested but its a 3 monthly lens.

Biofinity harder to remove because its thicker and suck on to cornea stronger.

Thanks! May I know the brand of the coloured lenses you’re about to recommend? I am interested but afraid at the same time.. 

So I guess I’ll stick to oasys.. 

Btw for daily toric clarity vs Acuvue Moist may I know your opinions on it? Thank you so much

Hi,

I have astigmatism and I've been wearing glasses for 3 years.

I'm looking for contact lens for working out - around 1-2 hours/daily. Any recommendation?

I have no experience with contact lens, how much would it cost? Would it be more than RM100 per month? how long does it last?

Is there contact lens available for 500+ short-sighted?

Wondering what the cost of disposable lens

RM 50 a box u can get some good lenses for that power

How many pair of lens in a box?
