I used to use Acuvue 2 biweekly contacts. I wear on average about 4-5 days per week, morning till late afternoon. In the beginning it was all good, much more comfortable than B&L which I used to use when I first started. Then after a few weeks, my eyes get dry very fast and the contacts get very uncomfortable.

So now I switch to Acuvue Oasys, which was also so very awesome and comfortable (like wearing nothing) for the first few weeks of wearing. But now even with a newly opened pair of contacts on the first day, I find my eyes uncomfortable even after 2 hours of wearing contacts. Its really frustrating and nowadays I rather wear specs than contacts already.

Does this mean I have dry eyes? Or should I change to other contacts? Or its the contacts solution? I use B&L Renu Fresh solution. What other ways to overcome this problem?

Can I know the full word for PC, haven't heard of it before. I'll go check with an optometrist.

Last time I used to wear those Korean colour contact lens bought online, for long hours as well. That was about 3 years ago.
Then one day my eyes felt like there was something inside even when I was not wearing any contacts. So I did went to check with an optometrist and she say under my eyelid got like bumps so have to stay off contacts a while and I was given eyedrops and some gel to put under the eyelid as well. From then on I've never use any colour contacts anymore and stop wearing contacts for about half a year. But now still like this.

I went to see doctor about 3 years ago, then after that stop wearing lens for 6 months. After that I started wearing lens again but mainly for short period (around 5 hours max) and have been more aware of taking good care of lens and eyes. But have still been feeling uncomfortable for very long already, that's why I have tried many types of lens and also contact lens solution until now.

Nowadays I hardly wear lens already, only on special occasions like formal dinner only wear. Other than that all wear specs, but whenever I wear lens also will feel uncomfortable even if its for an hour.

I started out with B&L monthly lens. I can't remember the exact name of it but I know I've tried two types of B&L lens.
Then after that change to Acuvue monthly lens, more comfortable than B&L but still uncomfortable sometimes. After that see doctor then I changed to Acuvue 2 lens which was much more comfortable in the beginning but after a while also not very comfortable. Latest one used was Acuvue Oasys which I would say is the best among all the other lens that I've used in the past. When I first wore it, it was like completely not wearing lens at all, don't feel anything at all. Of course price also more expensive compared to the rest.

As for solution, I find solocare aqua better. Is there a difference? Cause I see normally Guardian/Watsons also sell them almost same price.

Hi jialat, wanna ask about toric lens. If the shortsightedness is around 400 and astig is around 200, means have to custom make the toric lens? Are there different brands if custom make and which are the brands that you recommend, also the price range if possible.

I was also told that wearing toric lens can prevent the astig and shortsightedness to go worst. How true is this? And are the toric lens monthly or yearly or daily disposable? Completely no idea on toric lens. Thanks for your attention.

Oops sorry its the other way round, Astig is 400 and short sighted is 200. The last time I asked, I remember they say need to custom make as the ready made ones does not have that high astig.

I see. Will take note on the optometrist part.

Are there any brands available? Or can just go to any optometrist to make. And roughly how much is it. It's a yearly or monthly lens?

Okay, thanks for the info.

I see! Do you have any optical shops to recommend around klang valley to make toric lens?
Don't wanna spend RM600 on a pair andden find out that they didn't check properly.

Jialat, can I have their office number? And also the optometrist name? Planning to go tomorrow if possible. Need to make appointment right?
