Love it! Keep it up!
OMG doctor eye health actually commented on my video holy heck I’m fanboying pretty hard atm
@@AntonioTheOptom i shared one of his eye memes on my IG story and he mentioned me on his story 😭🥺
Thank you for being so transparent, clear and straightforward with the information! Very informative video!
Someone needs to sponsor you. These videos are so informative and great in production quality
My pleasure! 😁
SUPER Helpful video! Thank you so much!
Great review and comparative!
What a great overview! Just tried CooperVision's MyDay Torics, and am amazed at the comfort and clarity of vision they provide over CooperVision's slightly cheaper/older Clariti Torics. There were a couple of variables you forgot to include though with each lens: Thickness (equates to comfort the thinner it gets, although maybe Modulus is a better metric to use denoting flexibility/softness), and also clarity of vision (upon blinking some contact lenses rotate/dislodge in the eye due to inconsistent thickness etc., but MyDay Torics are much better in this regard).
Just switched from Acuvue Moist to BioTrue one day. I also found the lenses hard to handle and definitely had them pop out several times rubbing my eyes over the year I wore them so that’s definitely not just you :) The biotrues are way easier to handle for me and my vision seems better for not much more $$$.
My optometrist recommended BioTrue years ago. Great for my dry eyes. I wear my glasses most of the time but never really had an issue with these.
Hi Antonio, great video. Can you review the new B&L Ultra One Day lens. It's supposed to be premium- same level as Dailies Total 1 and Acuvue Oasys.
Acuvue Oasys are the best for me too!
I love Precision 1 lenses! So comfty! Just be sure when removing them your fingers are dry to touch.
Alcon has Precision 1 and Dailies Total 1 in astigmatism/toric now! Hoping you’ll be reviewing them in a 2022 video!
I’d love to hear your take on the whole range of Menicon’s soft lenses;i.e. Miru 1 day and Premio. Their technology seems very innovative and I love their eco friendly packaging!
Understood! Will do!
I was recommended to use CopperVision MyDay daily disposable toric contact lenses as a first-time wearer. I found the contact lenses' vision was very clear, except it was hard to put on because it was too soft and my fingers tend to fumble, worrying that the lenses would be damaged or little contaminated. Moreover, it was hard to remove and almost had trouble taking out due to the dryness. I switched to using ACUVUE OASYS 1-DAY with HydraLuxe Technology for ASTIGMATISM Daily contact lenses and found this was easier to wear on and take out, did not experienced much dryness compared to CopperVision where I had to put eyedrops almost all the time. The diameter for both contact lenses had a difference about 0.2mm, which does significantly impact how it fit onto my eyes.
Thank you so much! it was days i was looking for some review like this one ! Very useful !
Why lenses with more water content seem to have less permeability to oxygen though ?
Thank you! Very informative and to the point.
Thank you 😁
Can you review the new Coopervision Life lenses pliz, thanks! Keeo up the amazing quality!
Hi,
I am looking into getting contacts and I tend to bit of an overthinker when it comes to decisions like this. I am trying to decide which is better, monthlies or dailies, and I am a bit confused about the oxygen permeability. All the places say that dailies are suppose to be more breathable but when looking at dk/t values (what I understand to be as oxygen permeability) dailies tend to quite a bit below the dk/t values of monthlies. Not even a bit, the differences are huge (sometimes as much as much as 100 dk/t of a difference).
So what am I missing? How are dailies more breathable while the material is a lot less permeable. Very confused.
Very informative and very cute guy 😊❤️
😂😂😂 you’re too kind
They now have a toric for Precision1. I've been wearing it for the last two weeks or so and really like it. Coming from MyDay Toric, it moves less in my eye and just seems to fit better overall. It stays quite moist, even at the end of the day. Now if Alcon would only make a toric for Dailies Total 1...
I trialed the Oasys 1-day toric several years ago and just didn't like the feel of the toric design. For lack of a better word, it felt "heavy" in my eye each time I blinked... I guess I am used to the prism ballast-type toric designs.
Yea still waiting patiently for the precision1 torics in Australia 😢 and thanks for sharing your experience !
Mike, what is better Precision1 or Dailies Total 1?
Bausch/Lomb has a new one out that im trying out. Infused, and im on day 5 and so far so good. They are pricey though
What are your thoughts on the Bausch and Lomb Ultra 1 day? (I think known as the Bausch and Lomb Infuse in North America)
Acuvue oasys daily or cooper vision my day? I have both samples and need to decide soon. Acuvue has sharper vision but I get dizzy reading things unless it’s a foot away. Myday slightly blurry vision but probably more comfortable and no dizziness
Great buying guide! I think I'll go with the Acuvue Oasys with Hydraluxe! BTW, what do you think about the new Precision 1 Astigmatism contacts?
I would actually love to try them but they aren’t available just yet here in Australia 😡 so I’m just patiently waiting.. 😢
Which one do you recommend between Total1 and Oasys if money and Astigmatism is not a concern and which one is the best for astigmatism.
My left eye is Astigmatic with perfect vision while right is not astigmatic but 1.00 powered.
Please advice. My biggest concern is comfort and I normally wear these lenses for more than 12 hours.. sometimes 16 hours…
Please help!
I want to try the Precision 1 toric lenses, but they are only available in up to a -1.75 cylinder. If my prescription says I require a -3 cylinder, can I still wear them?
I use dailies total ones for everyday use....cost is £50 per months, similar cost to a mobile phone contract. Oxygen permeability is highest so best for eye health.
Nice video. Why do showers dry out contacts? Wouldn’t the humidity be good for contacts?
What do you think about the Acuvue Oasys Max 1Day? I use them for monovision correction. I'd love a video on them. Just came out Sept 2022. Thanks! ~P
Keep making videos!
I sure will! It’s tough work though haha
Thanks for the review. I am a long time Soft Lens wearer looking for a replacement and tried the acuvue oasis. I don't appreciate the blue tint and prefer a lens without the blue tint. Do any of the toric lenses you showed, not have the blue handling tint? It's hard to find that information. Thank you!!
Pretty sure the Coopervision clariti doesn’t have a tint
I’m 20 years old and been with Acuve for 6 years. Didn’t know there were other contact lenses brands. Should check the other 3 you mentioned, I lived in the USA btw
Yeah have a play around with different ones!
@@AntonioTheOptom Could you make another video for the 2023? I'm still using Acuve :D love your educational videos about each and every single one of them. Can you include on on which value to price ratio is best for each of these contact brands? Thank you happy new years
My eyes are really dry so I can only wear dailies total 1 as others start irritating my eyes after 3-4hrs. However, Dailies total 1 are very expensive. I wanted to know if Precision 1 are good enough for dry eyes (patients reviews etc) as they are a little cheaper than dailies total 1.
Good question! I do get a lot of people not being able to use any other material once they get a taste for the Dailies Total 1’s. Most optometry practices here in Australia offer a free trial so I’m guessing there might be something similar where you are located! Might be worthwhile trying Precision 1’s before making that decision!
Was recommended Soflens by the optometrist when I started using contacts so it was my 'standard'. Tried acuvue oasis but it was not too comfortable and then I also tried the locally manufactured silicone hydrogel that was supposed to be for longer days but also hated it. Now I'm using soflens daily 😅 I do not use contacts everyday and I'm not yet feeling the urge to experiment with brands again
I’ve been looking at different brands of contact lenses, but they all have different base curves. The ones you were showing are different base curves does it matter that much?
What glasses are you wearing their sooo nice
Trying to decide between the dailies total one and the MyDays. Seems like the difference is total1 has higher DK and my day have UV blocking
Hey Antonio, I’m going to be the first patient at the Optometrist I go to to try the Coopervision Biofinity Multifocal Toric contact lens. I’ll let you know how I get on.
Yes please do! 😄👍👍
My optometrist recommended getting spherical contact lens since my astigmatism is mild (0.5 to 1.0). Is this safe or should I still be getting toric lens?
I have -1.0 astigmatism in my glasses prescription but I use spherical contacts. It's not as perfectly clear as with glasses but still 20/20. I tried toric lenses when I was younger but found them very irritating and unstable.
Hello, theres a new daily contact lense from Cooper Vision, it called Live. Can you make a review of the lense? I havent seen any professional make a review about it, especially Doctor Eye Health. Hopefully you will make one. Its very very very cheap(less than $8 perbox of 30pcs) and affordable and i already tried it and its very comfortable but i wonder why is it so cheap?
I only wear dailies 1-2 times per week. I am astigmatic. I've worn Moist for years. But today I received samples of Oasys. They were easy to put on, and noticeably thicker. However, they were AWFUL to get out of my eye. I never have a problem with getting the Moist out. So I'm scared to order them.
My tip: Do what your optometrist deems the best for your eye’s condition
Which lense would be best suited for outdoors activities such as trail running or hiking for 10-16 hours e.g. ultramarathon?
Probably the one with the lowest water content (i.e. dailies total 1 or Oasys 1-day)
i have a question, hydrogel lenses are the ones? cause i heard polymacon lenses can hurt your eyes and i was interested in some colored lenses but they're made of polymacon so idk what to do :(
I mean every eye is different but if it works and your optometrist is happy with them it should be fine
@@AntonioTheOptom THANK YOUUUU
What is a minimum dk/t to avoid hypoxia? 42 in biotrue and 21 in moist seems a lot lower if you compare it to most contacts on market but still they made it to top tier list?
I don’t think the minimum dk/t matters as much as how long you have them in for. Low (relatively) dk/t but briefly wearing them should be okay too
@@AntonioTheOptom I use to wear my contacts for months at a time sleeping with them in every night.. I saw a doctor after a few years and she told me that blood vessels were showing and if I kept sleeping in my contacts and my eyes didn't breath it could get real bad. I stopped it and didn't wear contacts for a few years except when I traveled for poker tournaments and when I went back to her (eye center in Walmart) she said it was a lot better. I think we caught it in time. I'm sure Walmart Eye Center is not the best place to go but I'm glad I did. No more sleeping in contacts and I'm about to get dailies. Any advice for dailies and and also color contacts. I have brown hair and eyes and thought it would be fun to try color lenses. Any advice on colors? Thanks
Dailies Total 1 are incredibly comfortable but in my experience there's one big downside which is product consistency. Out of a box of 30 I sometimes find 4 or 5 misshapen lenses. They never quite settle on the eye and leave you with blurry vision. I've found no solution other than to throw it away and open a new one. Oasys never gave me that problem although I'll admit they're second place when it comes to all day comfort.
BioTrue vs Dailies Total 1. Anybody got any thoughts?
have they made dailies total 1 for astigmatism? i’ve seem them online but idk if they’re legit?
I think in the US they have, still no DT1 astigmatism in Australia tho 🥲
I have recently started using contacts.. Its been only few days.. Buy i have notice that when i put my left contact i feel bit uncomfortable and dizzy and blurry.. I have been using glasses since 8-9 years. I also have dry eyes? Should i go to my eye specialist or the blurriness is due to my dry eyes. Please reply
Yep
I have the bio true daily disposables and I find that they dry quickly and have to refocus many times throughout the day. They become so dry, that sometimes they tear when I rub my eye and and it's garbage
Time to switch to something else!
i had the same experience with bio true daily disposables!
Both the total 1 and the precision 1 come in toric in the US now
I hope they come to AUS real sooon!!
are they available in a larger basecurve now？
I still get confused how to understand whether the transparent lens is inside out or not. Next week I will be getting my lens delivered. I am really scared. In my state they don't teach how to wear it. Is there any trick to understand for a beginner like me🙃
If you haven’t seen my contact lens tutorial video yet then I would recommend watching that first. In that video I talk about how to tell the difference, if it’s flipped inside out then the edges of the lenses will point sideways and be pointy!
Are you wearing prescription glasses in this video? I don't see any eye distortion so wanted to ask
Good pick up! Wearing contact lenses + non-prescription glasses on top
@@AntonioTheOptom okay thanks. Do u wear dailies or monthly? I'm glass wearer so planning to try contacts and confused between alcon , acucue and b&l. Im planning for Alcon toric lens because it's lot cheaper so I'm considering it.
@@schandanui I’m a daily disposable lens wearer mainly. For value, Coopervision lenses work well although it’ll be best if you saw an optometrist to see if it fits well too
@@AntonioTheOptom thanks I have appointment next week hope I'll get best dailies :)
Had a stye for about a year now wat should I do
Best thing is to see an optometrist but from the papers I’ve read it’s safest to do hot compresses and massage. Watch my hot compresses video if you don’t know how!
I am new to contacts…my doc gave me acuvue 1 day moist…I did my own research and wondering if the 1 day oasys is better?
Better but more pricey! 👍
@@AntonioTheOptom thank you for the response
Switched from Accuvue to BioTrues. The BioTrue daily is the most comfortable contact lenses my eyes ever experienced. You could actually wear them multiple days easily, just don't tell your Dr that.
Hello Kristopher,
I would like to ask about the Base Curve as I see the BioTrue is 8.4 and the Accuvue is 8.5
Do you feel the differences between them?
@@brianke8879 Brian... I wore the Accuvues a long time, the minute I put BioTrues in it felt 30% more comfortable.. I could wear 1 pair for months without even removing them, they are that much better. Sleeping is no problem. All I can say is test a pair, I don't think you will be disappointed. Depending on the curvature of your eyes, it probably could make a difference... It definitely made mine much better though. Test a pair! Everyone is different.. The curve change actually fit me even better going to BioTrues. These contacts easily beat Accuvue 👍
@@kristophercantu9935Thank you very much for your reply. But there is no way to try a pair unless I need to see an optometrist. However, the optician where I go to, they do not have Bausch and Lombs.
(@@brianke8879 ) Gotta go somewhere that carries them, total game changers for myself. Maybe try a different Dr
I have -1.5 eye sight. May I reduce this
What for?
What about for sports? Does it matter?
Shouldn’t 👍
First
Ayyy!! 😍
Do one for monthly also please.
Coming right up!
Er dkt values are underestimates for instance total 1 has dkt of 156!
Sorry if I missed that info 😖 and thanks for contributing! 👍
@@AntonioTheOptom right. Not sure where you are getting your dk/t number from. The precision1 dk/t is 100 not 90.
@@henerybui7174 it’s 90 for us Toric folks. 😊
I find acuvue moist to be incredibly comfortable and great vision
Is Lasik eye surgery risky ? May I know why have you not done surgery and remove your spectacles ?
Aquacomfort Plus are terrible. Half of them already broken by the time I open and worry the others will break and do permanent damage to my eyes.
😿
Silicon hydrogel was a game changer for me. I used Acuvue moist before (low DK) and changed to Trueye in 2007 in the old formulation (narafilcon B Dk 50). At some point in 2013 J&J upgraded these to narafilcon A (Dk 118) and since then my contact lens tolerance, even with long hours, has been perfect. It’s only now that my beloved Trueye has been discontinued that I’m becoming aware of all of this. Hypoxia is at the core of every contact lens complication, so oxygen transmission should be the first factor to consider I think, for people who wear contacts daily. I’m starting Oasys dailies now, hoping they will be comparable to Trueye. I tried them once before and still thought Trueye was better 🤷♀️
Trueye is not discontinued. I verified this with j&j
@@zodel8631 they don’t sell it anymore in Europe or UK as of June 2022 and everywhere I tried to buy them I was told they were being “phased out”. I don’t know if they do somewhere else.
@@Cicelyize ok, apparently in the USA they are not being discontinued. They are on back order. I called acuvue, they said there is no plans on discontinuing Trueye. I told them if you googled search it says otherwise. They said regardless what is out there it’s still available. It does not show it on the discontinued list on acuvue website either. Because of production issues I went with hydrolux 1-day
@@zodel8631 I have been using Dailies total 1 and I’ve been pretty happy, very comparable to Trueye. They also have a very high index of oxygen permeability (140) and are daily disposables. Acuvue Oasys daily disposables would also be equivalent and I have a box and used them a few times- also good and comparable.
Alcon needs to release total daliy 1 toric.
They did
@@Anthony-lm8fx when I look them up it says 2022
@@PlankGFX my eye doctor got some trials in
@@PlankGFX you’re right though it’ll be available to all 2022
Why do you even talk about lenses with a dk/t under 100? They will definitely harm your eye over the time
