Hi guys, I got some questions. Years ago I got try wearing contact lens, like back in 2008 then stopped. Then tried again in 2011 then stopped. My experience with contact lens was even when I cleaned the lens and washed my hands sometimes i'll get burning sensation when I put it in like someone put salt on my contact lens, this is what frequently happens. I can't remember the solution I used but 2 different optometrist said to try and my sister uses it with no problem.
The first time in 2008, I always feel the contact lens in my eye to the point where it's really bothersome to wear. Then in 2011 I tried again, and I get that same feeling once in awhile but can get used to it already. BUT I had other problems. I kid you not, this happened. I took the contact lens out and put it on, drove like 15-30 minutes to somewhere, and the lens became dry to the point it was hard. When took out from my eye it was like solid, not soft at all.
Now in 2019, my friends keep telling me that contact lenses are so much better than before, and I'm pretty sure I have sensitive and dry eyes. What's a recommended contact lens to use now for someone like me. I need it for performance purposes, and might as well jump on a monthly lens if it works out for me. I have astig so I would prolly need a toric lens?
Thank you for reading and for any advice you can provide >.<

QUOTE(jialat @ Mar 25 2019, 06:09 PM) U need a thorough eye check on why u cant wear contact lenses even after so many years. year 2011 lens is considered quite good quality unless u chose those cheap one, then it wont be comfortable. u do sound like u have severe dry eyes. please get an optometrist to check your eyes first before getting any contact lens. Now im using air optix astig for my left eye and hydraglyde plus for my right eye, seems to be ok already now can wear. But left eye astig, keep going blur, read online and I think maybe the brand doesn't fit me and the lens not sitting correctly to fix my astig even after putting eyedrops. Right eye has no problems, and the optical shop even gave me an additional sample lens to try, but both lens also doesn't work for my left eye...any other recommendation for monthly brands? Also can't keep on spending money to buy new boxes that I can't use...where can I find that can have an optometrist help me check my eye and find a brand that can I use...

Thanks for the quick reply! If I order from you, how long would it take to arrive? Biofinity toric. I think i'll also go check my power again with another optometrist.
