Hi, I would like to try contact lens and consulted my optometrist who discourages contact lenses to everyone. According to him, contact lens power and glasses power is the same if it's below -4.00? And also, can I ask why I checked my eyes power in two other shop using the computers came out R-1.50 and L-2.00 but the uncle use the way where u put glasses in front of u and said my R-1.25. I actually have a pair of Air Optix R-1.5 and L-2.00 so I dunno should I continue using. Pls advice. smile.gif

yes, power below 4.00 doesnt need any adjustment.

A 0.25 difference is common and no problem with that, u can continue using ur existing lens. thanks

Thank you for your reply. smile.gif I noticed that u sell Air Optix and O2 Optix. O2 optix looks cheaper and I plan to change to O2 after my air optix aqua is finished. Can I know the difference between the two? I got slightly dry eyes but Air Optix works fine for me.. (hehe.. first time wearing lens) Thanks!

hi dear, i sell almost all lenses except those not recognised as safe to be wore lenses, like korean color lens.

the difference of O2 and air optix is written on my 1st post in this thread on page 1.

air optix optic is quite different from o2, they can be the same power but 1 can be clearer than the other. very bad optic from ciba vision.

Hi Jialat~~Can u help me out here? I've been wearing normal contact lens and recently went to have another eye exam. I have the prescription but not sure if I have astig because I feel like lights at night are quite bright so I've avoided driving at night.

Can u help me translate my eye readings?

<R> S=-1.50 C=-0.50 A=29
<L> S=-2.00 C=-0.50 A=114
