I strongly recommend you try Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism by Johnson & Johnson.

The following toric soft contact lens in the market:

Soflens 66 by Bausch & Lomb

Pure Vision Toric Soflens 66 by Bausch & Lomb

Soflens Daily Disposable Soflens 66 by Bausch & Lomb

Air Opix for Astigmatismby Ciba Vision

Focus Dailies Toric by Ciba Vision

Biomedics Toric by Cooper Vision

Biomedics 1 Day Toric by Cooper Vision

Biofinity Toric by Cooper Vision

All these toric lenses use gravity stabilize technology, in simple words, if you stand or sit straight, then the lenses work, but if you don't stand straight, such as lie on the sofa all bed, then the lenses can't work at all, you will have poorer vision.

Only Johnson & Johnson's Acuvue brand has the advanced blink stabilize technology, no matter you stand or lie down, the lenses work just when your eyes blink.

Hi, my power is 150 and 175. I have been using air optix for quite some time now, but I don't use it all the time. ie only when i get enough sleep and don't need to be out for more then 8hours.

I realise that after 4-5hours it become quite dry and tired. I've tried putting eye drops but it seems to feel okay for a while then the symptom came back.

Any recommendation?

Air Optix by Ciba Vision is the first generation of silicone hydrogel contact lens. Its disadvantage is a bit hard.

You can try the second generation Acuvue Oasys by Johnson & Johnsn, or the third generation Biofinity by Coopervisin. Acuvue Oasys has wetting agent inside the lens, and Biofinity is wetable itself.

sorry, i dont carry this italian lens. you can try B+L softlens daily or Acuvue moist, they should be equally good, thanks.

Thx for the reply. I have a lot of 1 Day Acuvue Moist and Trueye at home. A few days ago, one optician gave me a pair of Safe Gel 1 Day. Yesterday I put 1 Day Acuvue Trueye in my right eye and Safe Gel 1 Day in my left eye. During the whole day, I can feel Safe Gel 1 Day is more comfortable and moist than 1 Day Acuvue Trueye. But its price is also very high. Hope can buy online~

hi, i have been using B&L Softlens daily disposable lens recently. they really give this HD feel which i love. but i feel like they stick firmly to my eye. giving this tightness feel. not happy with that. any othe recommendation?

another question is how to avoid/reduce eye redness while wearing lens? i am wearing B&L Softlens daily disposable lens and sometimes Acuvue moist daily lens. they are comfortable but both make my eyes slightly red. not pretty at all.

1 Day Acuvue Moist is much better then Soflens Daily Disposable. Do you know in the two brands' motherland US, Soflens Daily Disposable is much cheaper than 1 Day Acuvue Moist? Actually, Bausch & Lomb is a very shame company, looking down upon consumers from developing countries. In US, many contact lens wearers have basic knowledge about each factors of contact lens, they know Soflens Daily Disposable is not as good as 1 Day Acuvue Moist which is more comfortable, breathable and with UV block. So in US, if Bausch & Lomb make the price of Soflens Daily Disposable higher or similar to 1 Day Acuvue Moist, then nobody will buy. So Bausch & Lomb has no choice, making the price much lower. However, in other developing countries, such as Malaysia, most consumers don't know the difference between Soflens Daily Disposable and 1 Day Acuvue Moist, and Bausch & Lomb even employs super star to advertise, so it's a good opportunity for Bausch & Lomb to make the price higher.
