I actually switch between both contacts & glasses
Every single time I watch your videos, I learn something unexpected. For example, I didn't know for clearest vision, eyeglasses reign supreme. This is huge, as I no longer have FOMO for not trying contacts. You are amazing, thoughtful and you explain things really well. Thank you.
Contacts were good for me up until recently when I went to order more and saw that price ðŪ. Made the switch back to glasses and my eyes (and wallet) feel much better
Loving the videos! Keep âem coming
Thanks Dr. Chism!
I think the biggest take-away from this is that everyone's circumstances are specific to them, and the "best" solution is whichever works best for the patient. For myself, I don't have any of those advanced conditions you speak of--just general presbyopia--and I get the best clarity with monovision contacts. I recognize that my experience may not be typical, and that's the point--there are some generalities, but at the end of the day, everyone's experience may or may not fit the general guidelines listed in the textbook.
Exactly. Awesome comment!
You are my favourite TH-camr ever ,I always feel reassurance when i look at ur videos because I always stress about my eyes ,keep up the good work ðâĻâĪïļ
Wow! Thank you so much!
Thank you for presenting the pros and cons of wearing glasses or contact lenses. I prefer to wear glasses because I'm not too coordinated when it comes to putting in contact lenses. And I think I look nice with glasses.
Switched to contacts after 30+ years and since Iâm into cosplay, itâs more convenient. I got rewetting drops for occasional dryness. Iâm happy
@DrEyeGuy thank you! love your videos. i do have dry eyes... and now presbyopia, and I keep wanting a contact lens option, but maybe I have to just resort to glasses.... sigh.
I am getting prescription safety glasses for work and my contacts will be for everyday wear
I'm new to your channel and still searching your videos but do you have any in regards to strengthening and improving vision through exercises? I recall the past overall professional opinion that none of these have been proven the last time I checked but it goes against my intuition to agree with that considering vision loss is often directly caused by muscle degradation.
I have plus4.25 in my os and plus 1.75 in od. I have tried progressives and couldn't get used to them . tried bifocals and cant get used to that. do you think contacts can help?
Lasik eye surgery ftw
But also i have astigmatism so glasses ð Excellent quality glasses from zennis can be as low as $18!
Sir plz tell me ,tmj disorder casuses dry eye?
Good evening ! I am from indore and work in the software industry. Recently, I had 1.25 addition power lenses made for both my eyes using Verilax Liberty progressive glass. However, I did not feel comfortable working on the computer for long periods of time, so I switched to intermediate lenses, which work better for me, but without the added power.
I have a question regarding Eyezen lenses. Is it possible to customize them to include only intermediate distance as well as our own add power of 1.25 from Rx prescription into their lens? I am looking for a computer lens with an added power of 1.25. Please advise if this is possible.
Yes it is possible to make that type of lens, and I could see that working really well.
I have always had astigmatism with blurry and double vision. I wore hard lenses in high school and found it strange that my lazy I would straighten up when they were in. Then in my thirties I tried soft lenses and could just never get used to them. 6 years ago I had an iridotomy done on both eyes and I wouldn't use contacts again. The one thing I miss about contacts is the peripheral vision.
I stay with glasses now that I'm almost 50. I wear sports goggles when I work and they have saved my eyes a lot of times. One thing I would recommend when buying glasses, is to ask for them to order a new set of frames and not take the ones that are in the store on display. I have always had problems with expensive frames snapping in the bridge or the hinge with the display frames. I believe too many people pull on the arms and twist to show that they Flex.
Recently I ordered from VR wave lenses for my Quest 2. I hope that it makes my VR experience more enjoyable. And wanted to say thank you for the 5% discount.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad the VR lenses worked out for you!
Dr. EyeGuy, I have a question. I've been wearing contacts for about 3 weeks now (about 4 to 5 days per week). The problem I'm having is that after wearing them for a few hours my eyes start feeling dry and get a little blurry. I have to keep using re-wetting drops. I use Opti-Free drops. When I get to about 8 to 10 hours of wearing them it gets even worse and I'm having to use the rewetting drops more often until it's just unbearable and I need to remove the contacts. Are my eyes still adjusting or do you think there is a fitment issue? I've tried several brands but found that the most comfortable ones for me are the Alcon Total 30 lenses so far. Thanks!
hard to say..... I have had patients that had these symptoms, and we ended up needing to try the dry eyes more aggressively to make it so they could wear their contact lenses longer.
I've never cared to use contacts, I have some hang up about putting them on my eyes. Perhaps a lingering effect of having three eye surgeries as a yong child.
I had an optometrist tell me that soft contact lenses can be cleaned and reused. So I did that for many years using an enzyme soak solution as well as the daily cleaning soaking cleaning sterile storage process. So I used to buy disposables and make them last for many months until they tore or just stop feeling comfortable. Any views on this? I haven't used contacts for years though but I'm considering it again.
There are different types of contacts, dailies, weeklies, and monthlies. Some you replace every day, every week, and every month, but you definitely arenât supposed to wear them for months on end.
Hey, thanks for your videos, some of them have been really informative for me. But, I was wondering, I really need your help, my eye doctor in the VA has not been taking my issue seriously, and I can't find anything on the internet talking about it. It involves sleeping on one side and seeing halo/rings in my eyes, also waking up after a night of sleep with halos/rings in my eyes, these rings cover my central vision and don't move. It goes away after a little bit but it is terrifying, they also are a lot worse in the morning if I drank alcohol the night before.
That is an interesting symptom for sure. Do you see the rings right when you lay down to go to bed, or is just in the morning after you have been sleeping a while?
I wear Multifocal contacts and it corrects my level of presbyopia the best. I don't get the clarity with my progressive lens glasses as with my contacts. Progressive lenses definitely take some getting use to.
i wore glasses for around 7 years for myopia but they recently started giving me headaches, i tried changing the prescription, the frame, adjusting itâĶ nothing worked. I have been using contacts for two months now and it has been a game changer. I do feel some discomfort towards the end of the day but itâs mostly solved with a couple of rewetting drops.
i have been playing vr, airsoft, and many other things, my glasses are always getting in the way of everything and they always get smudged with anything i do. Im thinking of switching to contacts
pls do its better 4 u
I wear both. I find contacts can be annoying to put in & remove and can be a bit blurry. I wear them socially only.
7:36 could that distortion cause ghost/false images? As in you think you see something out of the corner of your eye, you turn your head to look, then there's nothing there. Prescription is approximately a -5 in both eyes, with esotropic strabismus.
It's very possible to have enough of a distortion to cause abberations of light to make you think like you saw something.
@@DrEyeGuy and they do appear grayâĶ
Brother, I am the same subscriber whose hetromiya eyes ð ð, ðŪðģ,ðð
I remember! I can't forget those eyes.
Can you please advice the best contact lenses with latest technology in india
I actually don't know what all contacts are available in India
@@DrEyeGuy okay thanks for replying :)
Hello sir. My eye sight is+5 , i am using spectacles from 15 years, still I am not able to select suitable spects size. I think due to small or medium size spects frames, i am not feeling well while I am reading books. Due to this reason I think, i backwardness in studies. If i wear contact lenses I am feeling good, and i can able to focus on studies perfectly. But due to side effects of contact lenses I am not using contact lenses. If i use spects, i am not able focusing on studies ðððððððð.
Can you help me sir, pleaseððð , how to overcome this problem. Please
For a pack of six 30day contacts is 140 bucks in my case, granted, my prescription is in the 1% so they are very custom made
If you donât have any specific needs, then, if you look sexy with specs, go for specs. If you look ugly with specs, go for contacts. Itâs as simple as that.
I am terrified of it, and I am panicking every single day thinking I'm going to go blind
Itâs not gonna happen
I just dont understand why do people dislike glasses , glasses make people look intelligent theres nothing wrong with them , surgery is also amazing , but contacts are the worst piece of shit ðĐ product
Honestly both are uncomfortable for me..ð
Man the internet is a fantasy , because real life is different , so in real life all of these videos on the whole internet are a fantasy , a lot .
