hi,

what would be your advice for first time user of contact lenses? the market is fill with all sorts of brands and type rclxub.gif  is there any general guideline on how to choose the right lense for user?

i used to try B&L... i cant remember precisely which type. but feel that it is very dry and uncomfortable. after that i dare not try anymore... is this because the brand does not suit me?

Let me share with you my experience before jialat comes and give you his/her advice.
I tried various contact lenses before found a suitable one (Ciba Vision Air Optix)
I have tried both the cheap and expensive range from B&L and Acuvue and all made my eyes red and pain.
When I went to see an optometrist, straight away she said that I cant wear contact lenses bcoz my eyes are too dry and I have this condition which I cant remember what now.
I went to see another optometrist, he said there's nothing wrong with my eyes and because I have tried so many things before, he (randomly maybe?) recommended Air Optix. So now I can use already.Yay!
Been with AirOptix for two years now.
so maybe u shud keep trying until you find one that's suitable for you. Another tip that my optometrist shared with me is - dip say, a towel in warm/hot water and put on your eyelid for few seconds (repeat few times). good if your eyes are like mine oh.
