Hi jialat, I am currently using Proclear Toric monthly disposable lenses because I have poor vision + astigmatism. I usually wear glasses on weekdays and contact lenses on weekends, so maybe at most wear contact lenses about 3 days a week. Do you think I should switch to daily disposable lenses instead, since I don't wear contact lenses everyday? If yes, can you recommend any daily disposable lenses for me? Also, if I stick to monthly lenses, any to recommend or should I stick to my Proclear Toric? I have been using this for more than 10 years now, so thinking if got better ones to try? Thank you

Thank you Hi, u should consider daily toric lens instead of monthly to reduce wastage and risk of infection. I recommend acuvue moist daily toric, good and comfortable. If u plan to stick to monthly, then try biofinity toric lens which is much better than proclear toric.

With the Acuvue Moist Daily Toric that you recommended, do you mean Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism? (see link) https://www.clearly.com.au/1-day-acuvue-moi...iew=1&listPos=9Thanks and appreciate your advice, jialat! This post has been edited by Oriental: May 3 2019, 07:21 AM

Monthly lens is easier to be contaminated if u dont clean it regularly and keeping them soaking in same solution for days without changing the cleaning solution. Yes acuvue moist for astigmatism is what u need.

hi jialat, how do I determine the correct base curve of lens for my eyes? is it possible that both of my eyes have the diff basic curve ?
I am asking this because some of the lens fit my right eye just nice but when it comes to my left eyes, I always feel like there is a foreign object in it.

Hi, u need to find an optometrist to check by keratometer or topographer. Yes, right and left eye can have different keratometry reading and thus require different base curve contact lens.

Try biotrue by bausch & lomb. Keeps moist in lens for 20 hours after soaking overnight.

Hi, are the Dailies Total 1 any good? For reference, I have only been wearing clariti 1 day and I don't find them particularly comfortable nor too uncomfortable. So I wonder if the Dailies Total 1 will be an upgrade to my current Clariti 1 day. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. yes, total 1 day is much much better lens than clariti 1 day. the best is Oasys daily lens, more comfortable than total 1 day.

Thanks! Biofinity toric more difficult to remove after wearing long hours. Kazzou color toric lens price depends on your astigmatism power and axis.

I have sensitive eyes :/ None of the monthly lenses is good, even the new vita monthly lens by johnson & johnson is crap. U should consider acuvue oasys biweekly lens if your eyes are very sensitive. If that still failed u, then u try the oasys daily lens.
