I agree with this. Just tried Acuvue Oasys 1-day Astigmatism and so far it is the most comfortable one!
I used to have dry eyes and red eyes few years ago when trying different brand last time, but have no issue with this Acuvue Oasys 1-day.


Anyway I have a question..

My optometrist recommended this prescription for my contact lens.
Here are my RX of glasses and contact lens.


Current glasses prescription
............ SPH CYL AXIS
R (OD) -1.25 -2.25 175
L (OS) -1.75 -2.00 5

Contact lens Prescription
............ SPH CYL AXIS BC S
R (OD) -1.25 -1.25 180 8.5 14.3
L (OS) -1.25 -1.25 180 8.5 14.3



I see huge difference (-0.5) between the RX of my glasses and contact lens but for my right eye it remains the same. For astigmatism, both also have huge RX difference.

Is it normal?

Optometrist said my R eye has got slightly worsen myopia while L eye has got slightly worsen astigmatism, but I can choose to continue using my current lens as

hi, if follow your Current glasses prescription then contact lens power should be
............ SPH CYL AXIS
R (OD) -1.25 -2.25 180
L (OS) -1.75 -1.75 180

Not sure why your contact lens power dropped so much from glasses power, right u can consider -1.25/ -1.75 X 180 also but dropping astig correction to 1.25 is a bit too much.

Thanks. I will ask her again soon.

She said contact lens power is normally weaker than glasses because it sits directly infront of eyes, while glasses have like distance (1cm+) between eyes and glasses.

Yes, it’s applicable for higher power, for example above -4.00.

Otherwise its too minor to warrant a drop in power.

If she insists to give u her calculated power contact lens, then u get 1 pair of what i counted for you and u compare the vision clarity between them to check.

>Yes, it’s applicable for higher power, for example above -4.00.
>>Yes. this is what I read online as well.

I already bought the prescription as prescribed by my optometrist (1-day Acuvue Oasys with Astig) and will try it tomorrow and see how.

If it isn't clear then will try the prescription given by you.

Anyway, wearing wrong prescrption of contact lens won't damage the eyes right?

hi, wearing lower power will blur your vision, might cause headache if long term.

Thanks.

Just to give you an update. I tried the contact lens RX given by my optometrist and I feel that it is clear. Wearing the 1 day Acuvue Oasys with Astigmatism for 13 hours also no problem. I would say the clarity is like 95% of my glasses vision.

Will finish this box then see how again

That’s great.

Hi Jialat,

My current prescription are:-
R - sph:-6.75 Add: 2.75
L - sph :-6.75 Cyl:-0.25 Axis: 170 Add:2.75

What would be the best multi focal contact lens prescription?

Hi, u can try -6.00 high add on both eyes for the first trial.

Noted with thanks

Hi guys,

Where can i buy acuvue oasys daily for astigmatism in PJ area? Which has ready stock.

Thanks

No store keeps stock for oasys dialy for astig correction, except for regular customers power only.

By right, how long can contacts ideally be used? If let's say I wake up 7.30am and put, and only reach home at 10pm+ to take out, is that okay or not?

hi, get those with high oxygen then you may wear them longer hours. silicone hydrogel lens allow you to wear them more than 12 hours safely during open eyes time, not when you sleep.

My friend uses monthly extended wear lenses, but he actually only takes them out to change once a month!!

He says he feels perfectly comfortable, been doing that for years...

hi, it's not recommended to do that, his cornea might have grown blood vessels trying to supply oxygen to the cells, when light pass through them, will cast a shadow on his visual field in future. cornea is supposed to be avascular organ.

What brands / model do you recommend please?

Wah have such lenses? Which type? Doesn't sound that safe

if monthly lens, you can consider biofinity

if biweekly lens, acuvue oasys is good.

dailies lens are expensive and good for those only use lens once or twice a week, can consider oasys dailies.

He's using Air Optix monthly disposable multifocal.

He tells me taking the lenses out to wash has a higher risk of infection...
