QUOTE(jialat @ Jan 25 2016, 04:13 PM) Malaysian suppliers dont carry it, have to custom made but they are either 3 monthly silicone hydrogel lens or yearly conventional lens. What are some of the brands for the custom made? you should consider multifocal semi rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens because it can masked some amount of astig and do not cause dry eyes. It last for good few years too if take good care of them.  I am a bit fearful of RGP as I've tried that before and I find it less comfortable compared to soft lens. |

I am looking for soft contact lens that can cater for myopia, high astigmatism and presbyopia conditions. Any recommended solution? Am currently using iGel toric lens but it doesn't cater for presbyopia.

QUOTE(jialat @ Jul 4 2017, 03:04 PM) igel toric has stopped production at least 2 years ago, but they never do multifocal toric soft lens. What would be a recommended replacement for igel toric lens then for both permanent and disposable type? Thanks. there is multifocal toric soft lens but they cost very high (ard 3k+ a pair) and vision not 100% clear due to small lens cant fit in all power nicely. |

QUOTE(jialat @ Jul 4 2017, 04:10 PM) how high is your astigmatism? I can't recall the exact number but it is somewhere between 1.0 and 1.75 on both sides. I know is on the high side.flexcon toric is the only permanent toric lens available in local market unless u order oversea lens but expensive. |
