QUOTE(aries9 @ Mar 9 2015, 09:23 AM) Hi jialat, Can i know how long can Biofinity contact lens for maximum wear in a day? Thanks. Its extended wear, meaning more than 12 hours. FDA approved for 7 day 6 night continuous wear but must let a good optometrist check to make sure 1st. Solution u used is important to help keep long hours wear comfortable, not just lens. Stop using those low hours moist keeping solution. This post has been edited by jialat: Mar 9 2015, 02:33 PM

QUOTE(aries9 @ Mar 9 2015, 01:48 PM) Oh I see. Thanks for the info, but I don't wear continuous normally. I wear it normally for office hour 9am-6pm, weekend maybe few hours The solution I using currently is opti free replenish,after take out, use opticare saline solution to wash it as I have very sensitive eyes. Can I use it this way? Btw, what does slow hours most keeping solution mean? eg solution like? Thanks. opsss sorry not SLOW, but LOW hours moist keeping. solo care aqua and optifree express, complete, freshkon solution all cant moist long hours. yes if u used optifree replenish then need to rinse with saline. if biotrue then u can skip that.

QUOTE(superlym4896 @ Mar 15 2015, 06:01 PM) hello there. i have been wearing contact lens for a long time probably 5 years. but i always have an issue, that is the dry feeling of my contact lens when i am wearing them. my blinking rate will increase dramatically to the point that i will notice that i am blinking due to dryness. (i was told it might be the air pollution) I am currently using Bausch and lombs with Pure moist solution also by BnL. (which i believe is the best solution out there) Do you have any advice on my case? I hate blinking too much especially when i am dating  try air optix or biofinity, then use biotrue solution. puremoist is no better than biotrue but more expensive. puremoist is by alcon, not bausch & lomb.

QUOTE(silvadesk @ Mar 17 2015, 03:13 PM) Hello. My left eye developed pinguecula recently. Almost 3 months not wearing lens as my eye is still a bit reddish. The first 2 months, I didn't do anything about it as I also have sinusitis infection and thought my red eye was related to it. My sinusitis infection finally subsided but my eye was still a bit red. Only until last month, I noticed the yellow-ish bump in my eye. Doc prescribed me with eye drop to soothe the redness and doc suggested that I can try my lens again as the redness has been reduced. I tried it on once last week. The first 2 minutes was a bit irritating but afterwards it was okay the entire day. Quite comfy but feeling dryness. I hope to get some recommendations: 1. I read from a blog that I need to use some steroid (drops) continuously to avoid further dryness and redness. What did they mean by this? 2. While wearing my lens, what would be the best eye drop to keep the eyes moisturized? Thanks in advance for any advise. DON'T use steriod because it can cause cataract and other eye complication. just use normal eyedrop / artificial tears, with lens i personally use comfort drop. if without lens, u can use any eye drop.

QUOTE(shadedevil @ Mar 21 2015, 12:05 AM) Hi, Need some advise for future purchase, I just bought 2 boxes of 1 day acuvue moist in midvalley, costs me around rm250 which is very expensive from the price I see in the internet. Since that is my first time wearing and also buying so I had to approach an optic shop to learn of course and they recommended me to buy daily lenses instead of monthly, so if i ever break the lenses i dont have to worry about throwing the lenses away since its a daily lens. My question is what brand should i buy after i get used to wearing lenses? heard from my friend that air optix is quite comfy. and what lens solution should i buy? can i buy lens solution like renu in watson? thanks in advance for your help. Monthly lens u can try air optix or biofinity. Its cheaper but not so suitable if u using them for sport. Daily lens is the best for sport. Try get biotrue solution if possible, renu is fine if u only plan to wear lens for short hours.

QUOTE(alvia @ Mar 26 2015, 02:48 PM) Hihi.. actually i need some suggestion between this 2 brands air optix and biofinity..Since the very first time I tried acuvue but I forgot which product (since 9 or 10 yrs ago) and it feel uncomfortable..even now I also cannot wear all product under acuvue cause it very fast dry even I jus wear it for 2 to 3 hours… and ciba vision, bausch and lombs , also same…after that I used colour lens… freshkon, adore is the most better lens for me … and solution I use alcon replenish until I changed to puremoist.. I like alcon more than renu and solo care…but i wonndering y the 1st weeki wear lens it feel comfortable but after 2nd week it will feel like uncomfortable u can try biofinity combine with biotrue solution, u shall see improvement on lens wear duration. after 1 week then the lens get dirty and caused discomfort is very common with dry eyes. color lens have more problem like that cause they are high water content lens.

QUOTE(Awesomefroyo @ Apr 4 2015, 01:22 AM) Hi, I have been using acuvue oasis for almost a year and I find my eyes dry. I usually wear them for more than 12 hours a day facing computer in air conditioned room all the time. For solutions I am using optic free replenish. Any contact lens and contact lens solutions that you would recommend ? I read through some of the posts and it seems like there's no one best brand for everyone but rather it varies. Appreciate your advice. try switching the lens solution to biotrue 1st, if no improvement, then only change lens.

QUOTE(tthyoo @ Apr 5 2015, 02:12 AM) Thank you for your recommendation. Typically, how long will the orthoK lens last before i have to pay another rm3-5k again? if not mistaken, every year u need to buy a pair of new retainer lens to maintain the power control, may be slightly cheaper only than original price u paid for during the 1st time.

QUOTE(Veepp @ Apr 7 2015, 01:37 PM) Hi @Jialat, I'm a loyal fan of B&L. Been wearing soflens 38 for years until recently my eyes are getting red and dry easily due to my work condition. - facing PC for 8 hours and in a cold room temperature. Is there any suggestion that i should change the contact lense brand? I need sth that i can wear for long. Tried B&L softlens 59 and it's getting worse. Thanks in advance. hi, u can try air optix or biofinity and see whether they improve the dryness problem, these 2 are high oxygen lens and will keep your eyes healthy even wearing extended hours.

QUOTE(Veepp @ Apr 15 2015, 09:15 AM) @Jialat Hi Jialat, I ended up using biomedic as recommended by the opticians but what is the actual difference between biomedic and biofinity? I tried out for a pair and it cost me RM25. Thanks in advance Biomedic is normal hydrogel lens, low oxygen and cause dry eyes even wearing short hours. Rm 25 a pair is very expensive. Biomedic 1 box has 6 pieces, meaning rm 25x3= rm 75. I m selling biomedic rm 60 only a box. Biofinity is high oxygen lens, suitable for all even dry eyes to wear long hours. But this is not the best yet, night & day is the best among all i have tried. Too bad they dont have astig lens.

QUOTE(shadedevil @ Apr 29 2015, 06:00 PM) hi jialat, am gonna buy monthly lenses few weeks later but I do not know which to choose, either biofinity or air optix because some of the opto shop says biofinity is better but bad thing is they do not have astig. but astig for my left eye is a tad too high compared to right eye (cyl/axis for left eye -2.25, right eye -0.75) so i am afraid that it might blurred my left eyes vision. btw is optifree replenish any good? bought it in set with 2 replenish and one small bottle optifree pure moist biofinity comes with toric also, they have astig correction till -2.25. RM 170 a box, with 1 extra piece. optifree replenish can keep moist for 14 hours max, puremoist max 16 hours, biotrue 20 hours.
