Dry eyes, or people with dry eye syndrome, can have a hard time wearing contact lenses. There are few contact lens brands that would be the considered the best for dry eyes. Three monthly lenses that might work are Acuvue Vita, Bausch and Lomb Ultra, and Coopervision Biofinity. The best daily contacts will usually have more success with dry eye patients. Baush and Lomb Infuse, Acuvue Oasys 1-day, Alcon Precision 1, and Alcon Dailies Total 1. These are best contacts for dry eyes. Dr. EyeGuy does a quick contact lens review with each lens and explains why.

For taking out the Dailies Total 1 (or any contact really) - just move contact slightly off center and then pinch it off, manes it sooo easy to get off every single time.
Nice tip!
@@DrEyeGuy I agree with you , the Dailies Total1 were the trickiest for me to remove and Iâve tried about 8+ different contacts including the Infuse and Oasys Hydraluxe. Yes those tricks help - but still trickier to remove.
Did it the same. But i guess it was just because of the tighter curve they have. They dont float properly on my eyes.
I just drag them to the bottom of my eye and they come right out. These have been the most comfortable for me as well. The multifocal technology in the MyDay by Coopervision seemed to work better for me but they are very uncomfortable..
Thank you so much for this great advice ððð keep doing this videos Doc
Thanks for watching my videos. I really do appreciate it.
Thank you
Your info really help me out thank you please keep up the good work canât wait to see the next video thank you again
Thanks for amazing comment! I'll keep trying my best with the videos, I have a lot more planned.
Great suggestions! Thank you
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Great info!
Thanks!
ð great info
Thanks!
Just wanted to comment that as described in the video, the Dailies Total 1 are indeed tougher to remove at the end of the day. Totally put me off using them as I had to literally dig my nails into my eyeball to fish them out. The Oasys dailies are much better.
I currently use Total 30 by Alcon, love them. ðĪ
It's an awesome lens!
Ive been wearing the total 1 multi focal contacts for about 4-5 years now, just had to update my script though, slightly stronger. Still love these and wont give them up unless i no longer need them.
They really are awesome lenses!
Hi Dr. Neil,
Great video on contact lenses for dry eyes. This video has helped me make a great selection of contact lenses . I have only worn daily contact lenses. And so far my favorite daily contact lenses are the Acuvue Oasys 1-day and dailies total 1. I have tried samples of Bausch and Lomb Infuse. For me, the Acuvue Oasys 1- day and Dailies total 1 are better. I requested my eye doctor to give me samples of precision 1-day but told me they havenât been carrying them yet. I go to Costco optometry for my comprehensive eye exams.
Iâm currently wearing dailies total 1 and they are nice and comfortable to wear all day long just like the 1- day Oasys by Acuvue. I have also worn Acuvue Oasys 1-day before as well.
Iâve been wearing contacts since seven years. I started off by wearing 1-day Acuvue Moist and they were comfortable in my eyes back then. And then I tried Coopervision clariti 1-day and MyDay contacts and they were not very kind for my dry eyes. Acuvue Moist 1-day was a little bit better but they would still get dry up to 10 hours of wear. Once I tried Acuvue Oasys 1-day and Dailies total 1. Iâm sticking with these contact lenses from now on cause theyâre good for my dry eyes. I will never go back to wearing any of my older daily contact lenses because I get dry eyes very easily.
Thanks for the amazing comment! I always like to hear what has been working for people. The Dailies Total 1 and Oasys 1-day are amazing lenses.
@@DrEyeGuy Hi Dr. Neal,
I have noticed they were a few lenses on my current batch of dailies total 1 were defective or felt dry that I had to replace some with a new pair. Contact lens eye drops do not help as always and I have sensitive eyes. It kind of feels a bit frustrating when that happens because the lenses are quite expensive and thatâs how I get short on my supply. Do you have any suggestions? I think the 1 day Oasys might be better because I have had less issues with Acuvue. Dailies Total 1 is still okay but I have found some dry and defective. I am very hygienic on how I handle my contacts and I always make sure I wear the lens properly.
@@vt6857 you are not alone. I have many patients that prefer the Oasys 1 day lenses. I really think it depends on the patient eyes and what material they like the best.
@@DrEyeGuy Yes thatâs often true. Dailies total 1 is still not a bad lens when the lens feels good and not dry. My eye doctor has put Acuvue Oasys 1 day and Dailies Total 1 on my eye prescription. The next contacts order will be the Acuvue Oasys 1- day. It always feels good for me to change my lens up from time to time. Thank you ð
I have same problem, maybe your choice is good recommendation for me
Helped me a lot , thank you ððž
Awesome! Glad it helped!
@@DrEyeGuy definitely, I tried many brands already, supposedly for dry eyes but none of them had a really good comfort in my eyes .
I will try your best option ððžI hope they will work better for me.
@@carinaramos5590 I'll cross my fingers for you.
Wow, you were right on point! I sampled the Acuvue Oasys as that's what they had in the office and my eyes loved them! I had no problem with that contact hitting the waterline at all. Amazing! Today, I pick up the Acuvue Vita and if they are the same as the Oasys, I'll be ordering those. They do fold easily, but it's worth the extra time to not have a sore eye. Any tips on how to quickly know if they're inside out or not? It's kind of tough to see that number on there.
Awesome! Glad that did the trick. Its trickier these days to know if the contacts are inside out. Best way is the "taco test" kind of pinch the contact slightly together, and if the edges keep its shape or fold in a little bit, than it's correct... if the edges kind of flop out a little bit, than it's inside out.
@@DrEyeGuy Ok great. I've been doing that test as well. Thanks to you Dr. EyeGuy for helping me find the right contacts !!! I will always be a subscriber and look forward to your videos.
I can say biofinity contacts are great. They are so great that I have a hard time taking them off because they really donât stick to your eyes like other contacts when they start drying ð
Thanx doc.. Where Can we find them online cause they are not available in our region
I'm not sure if there specific online retailers for different regions, but if you can't get them from your local eye doc, you could try lensdirect.com. You will need a valid prescription.
Hii! I have recently been diagnosed with evaporative dry eyes(mgd). Will wearing contacts make my eyes worse and even more dry? I feel like wearing dailies total 1 feels good, however im consurned that the contacts will make my meibomiam glands even more blocked and irritated.. :(
Very informative. âĨïļ
But I have a question, are there good colored contacts out there in the market?
Air optix colors and air optix dailies colors are some good color contact options.
@@DrEyeGuy ok thanks âĨïļâĨïļ
I can wear precision1s for 16 hours with no discomfort. Accuvue, I can only do for 8 hours before my eyes start getting tired and cranky.
had sclerals and loved them when they worked, about 75% of the time, still had to use drops for blinking (low tears). lost one of them and freaked out so went to soft contacts, accuvue oasys : results about the same as sclerals but daily use was a plus, still about 75% effective..still had bad days as with the sclerals...still had to use drops for blinking. much cheaper than sclerals for same effect.
Wow! Thanks for this comment. Just curious why you were fit with scleral lenses in the first place?
@@DrEyeGuy chronic dry eye and to stabilize my cornea from flattening due to old RK with subsequent vision changes during the day.
Surprised Cooper Vision didn't make the list, this is the only brand I've ever been able to successfully wear, and I have extremely dry eyes!
They are, its the Cooper Vision BIOFINITY montly at about 2:37 they are great
Lol same for me... Dealing with dry eyes problems. I found out cooper vison helps a lot. Now im stuck to this brand
I wanted to like the Total 30 from Alcon but I could not stand them! I actually had a similar experience with the Total 1 as well. They both don't seem to last all day for me at all and no amount of drops helps. I couldn't stand my trial pair Total 30s after a week and went back to my doctor. We decided to try Oasys Daily and love them so far. They last all day with no dryness issues. I have to be careful because sometimes I get into bed with them on because I can't feel them. Biofinity was my first lens then I went in to Air Optix Day & Night. Both very comfortable. Any ideas why I had this experience with the Total lines?
I tried the total 30s and my right eye (my one dry eye) just would not stop feeling like something was in it or dry so Iâm gonna do a trial of the Total 1, Precision 1 and Acuvue moist. If those donât work then Iâll try the oasys dailyâs.
Hello! Between 1 dailies and precision what is the difference in comfort if both are made of water. I need it for astigmatism and they both have them now but still undecided which one to choose. Also is the UV a plus feature?
As a doc, I have liked the precision toric lenses better. The dailies total 1 toric are sometimes trickier to fit for some reason. But, you could ask your doc if you could try both and see which one you like better. They both have UV protection... im not sure of the amount though.
I came to this video looking for suggestions because the contacts I just took out left my eyes so dry. Lo and behold your #4 suggestion (B&L Infusion) for daily are the ones I just took out. I only had them on for about 7 hours and my eyes were so red and dry, it took me about 5 minutes to get them out. Now I don't know which to try next.
Have you been able to try any of the other ones on the list?
@@DrEyeGuy no. These were the first ones I was given to try. I made another appointment to try some different ones.
I have tried 2 monthly contacts but they my my eyes burn unless I used eyedrops every hour or 2 so my eye Dr. got me some Precision 1 lenses today and for the 3 hours I have been wearing them they are better than the monthly contacts but I am still experiencing dry eyes with some discomfort.
Infused donât drift and fit pretty tight but get blurry quickly
I use precision 1 dailies .
subbed! any contact suggestions that DONT have any indicator markings? such a "123" or "AV" or a number "4" or "2"?
help please...the markings irritate my eyes
At the end of the day it comes down to individuals and how much eye dryness tolerance they have, when I started using contacts I was so excited that I didnât have to see the world through a pair of 1 by 2 pieces of glass that I sidelined any discomfort or dryness. Even now I wouldnât trade this type of vision for glasses for comfort. But contacts make your eyes dry or dryer.
Great comment! Thank you.
i canât find the video about when the contacts get stuck can you link it for me ?
Hi doc still waiting for the upload of more eye floaters video please please please your videos are so good and need more information and support with eye floaters make us all feel better the community is massive for this problem
I have more videos planned, just need to find the time to make them all. Just curious, are there any specific questions or issues you want me to cover in the videos?
@@DrEyeGuy yes please doc can you tell us is there a certain type of diet we can try or supplements, does anxiety and stress make it worse, we they eventually fade over time and just generally have to be positive I think we all need reassurance.....really love your videos and thank you so much for taking time to make them.....you donât realise how many people you help
Thank you so much! I'll get to work
Hey doctor
I've been wearing glasses for 2 years
Now I'm planning to switch to baush and Lomb ultra , are they comfortable for playing cricket?
I'm 17 and very excited for contacts
I think you have a great chance with Ultra contacts. I like them a lot. Everybody is different however, so you will have to see how you like them.
These thing shot out my eye no harm done.
Do dailies total 1 have uv blocking too?
Could you comment on the most important parts for comfort?
I use total one now but they become uncomfortable at like 12 hours.
I'm considering air optix night and day to see if the comfort lasts longer...
Is oxygen or water more important for comfort?
I've tried b&l ultra, Oasis, vita, precision one, and total one. Total one is the best but still doesn't last 12 hours.
I don't understand how my brother can keep his night and days in for a month while I can't go 12 hours.
Hard to say what is more important, largely because it can depend on the person on their own eyes. A lot of times it can be the coating of the lens and how it interacts with the surface and tear film of the eye... thays why the total 1 lenses can work so well. Another one to try would be the new 1-day Acuvue Oasys Max.
Never had an issue taking out Total 1. HOWEVER, there is some quality issue. Sometimes I can't tell if the lens is inside out. I do both the shape test and the taco test.....for both sides...and they look the same! And the problem seems to be getting worse because there are more lenses that are like this with my recent batches and I have to throw these lenses out. I will be filing a complaint with Alcon. I see from your video that Acuvue Oasys has the "123" marking. I will be asking my doctor for some trial samples and see if they fit my eyes. If they do, I will be switching. It's really too bad. When Total 1 lenses are made correctly, they really are very good.
Thank you for commenting! I will have to look into the quality issues. You have me curious now.
@@DrEyeGuy I agree. I have a lot of QC issues. First they are often bended inside the storage, and they keep the shape for a while, making the correction wrong. Sometimes the correction is just plenty wrong. and as said by @HS248 sometimes (often nowadays...) you can't tell which side is correct. I am throwing more and more lenses to the trash, and I've been using them for many many years... I'm really considering switching because of these QC issues. Which one should I try first ?
Iâve tried few contacts. I was finally happy with Dailies Aqua Comfort Plus, I wear Toric on left and regular on the right. Then my eye office says the are discontinuing the size I wear. So they gave me Acuvue Moist, however the Toric one (Left eye) I see a blurry line on my peripheral vision and Iâm not sure if thatâs normal ? The non Toric (right eye) I donât see that. Iâve been wanting to try Precision 1 Toric but never gotten the chance. Any suggestions on the peripheral blurr in my toric?
(I wear one day contacts, forgot to mention)
You could be seeing the edge of the optic zone. Every contact lens has an optic zone, and sometimes with toric lenses people will see the edge of the zone. Not sure though. I bet you will like the precision 1 toric lenses if you like the dailies acp lenses.
I've used Acuvue 1 day moist for about 2 to 3 years. Overall, pretty fine for me except the astigmatism ones seem to dry my eyes out toward the end of the day more so than the normal ones did. I'm trying the precision 1's now and I really like them so far. The line could also be from the line the Acuvue's have on them so the ey Dr can see if they're sitting on your eye right. I've always been told to put those in with the lines straight up and down with me having an axis of 180 and a -1.25 astigmatism. It should be the same with any astigmatism contacts I'd imagine, i just know whenever i wouldn't put the line on the Acuvue's right, id either see blurry vision until it fixed itself or until i took it out and put it back in right. Hope this helps!
Hi Dr. Neal. Thank you so much for this recommendations. I have dry eyes from SJS ten years ago. I once tried bandage contact lenses to ease my eye discomforts (from my doctor's prescription), and it worked well... for the first 3 days. Then it caused scratch on my cornea and my doctor never let me use lenses again. But in recent years my distichiasis is causing a next level of frustration and i think i need contact lenses more than before this time. Do you think any of those product you recommended would suit my case? Thank you
It's possible. You will want to work with your eye doctor. But I have used some of these contacts as bandage contact lenses before. It is going to depend on the person and the condition of their eyes though.
I been wearing MYday contacts by Coopervision after putting them in and blinking my eyes I can feel my eyelashes. Do you know why is that? I do have dry eyes so I do use opti-free pure moist eye drop.
What do you mean you can feel your eyelashes? Does it feel like your eyelashes are touching your eye? Sometimes the actual edge of the contact can feel like you have an eyelash in your eye.
Hello Dr... good video I have saved it for future reference. The issue I have is my contact lens bumps into the area on my sclera (white area). I had a scleral buckle placed and the surgery left an area right next to my iris that is prone to feeling sensitive (and contacts bring this feeling on). I've been prescribed a trial for Total 1 dailies (multifocal) and I have good days & bad days w/ it. Also Acuvue Oasys Max, but am finding the lens too big and causing that bumping up, scratching issue and then my eye goes red. I'm getting discouraged. Any thoughts on anything else I should trial?
Sorry to hear that! If you are trying to avoid the scleral completely, then hard lenses (RGP) would be small enough to do that... but that would take some getting use to. With soft contact lenses... they are all around the same size... usually between 14.0 - 14.5 mm in diameter. The lenses that are usually thinner or have a thinner edge are the acuvue lenses. Maybe of Oasys max didn't work, you could try just the 1-day Oasys possibly if you haven't tried that already?
@@DrEyeGuy Thank you so much for your response! I have never tried hard lenses, have always had soft (pre surgery, etc) my prescription is quite high and I don't know all the options so this was so helpful!
Thank you for this video. Still experimenting with Biofinity.
I was curious how that was going. I still have a video about monovision and multifocals planned.
@@DrEyeGuy It's going good, thanks! I go back in two weeks to see if she can bump up the reading lens. My only concern is that one eye I mentioned to you about. I may have to see an ophthalmologist. I'm not sure if they can do cryotherapy on the waterline or not, but it rubs against my contact and feels a little like I have something in my eye.
@@GigLifewithLexi I understand that feeling. If you haven't yet, you could try a trial of the Acuvue Vita. It has a really thin edge and make it less noticeable to the eyelid. I still preferred the Biofinity lens, but your eyes like the Vita better.
@@DrEyeGuy Would that work in a monthly lens...the Acuvue Vita for astigmatism? If so, I will ask about trying it. See, this is why I'm glad you have this channel. I'm getting better advice from you. :)
@@DrEyeGuy Can't wait to see it!
Today I received my 30 days Alcon lenses. Itâs actually named ÂŦ Total 30 Alcon Âŧ itâs the monthly version of what you talked about.
I will try them tomorrow (currently using Biofinity Toric 30 days).
I will see if thereâs any difference, canât wait.
Is there a difference? Iâm currently using air optix plus hydraglade for astigmatism. They can get blurry sometimes and other times I can see clearly. I want to switch to either total30 or Biofinity Toric
Mind sharing an update?
I used to wear acuvue oasys for years. Then suddenly i just couldnt. My eyes starts to swell within a few hours of wearing them. The onyl other contacts ive tried were air optix. Those hurt sooooo bad. What do you reccomend? i do have astigmatism.
All of the contacts in the video are great. You could always start back in with some nice daily contacts. That would likely give you the best chance at getting back into wearing them.
I have dry eyes I am currently using monthly Bausch and loam Ultima for a stigmatism and multifocal, but I really like to get into a dailyâĶ my correction is only .50 in one eye for distance and the Bausch and Lomb for Near vision specified as high donât do much and I still need to use your Vision glasses. Any recommendations?
Biofinity sucked for me in terms of staying moist. I just went through a year of wearing them because I bought a year supply.
Bummer, sorry to hear that.
oh same i have biofinity toric and i found them quite drying and iâm not the type who complain about those small details because lenses are so life changing. iâm switching to menicon miru toric
I'm so frustrated! At 53 I've finally decided to get contacts and I'm on my 11th pair of trials, nothing is working! I have dry eyes, both near and far correction and I'm a nurse. The monofocal made me horribly nauseous. Every other pair has required "cheaters" which is a pain in the butt, especially at work. My Dr has said this is the very last option until new lenses come out. I picked those up yesterday and haven't tried them yet as I have a lense suctioned to my left eye currently and can't get in to see the dr until next Wednesday. Is there anything you can do, suggestions you can make, to help me find contacts. Will you also answer another question...why can't I have contacts just for near vision and then only need cheaters for distance and driving? It makes no sense to me.
I was told that precision is not available for high astigmatism. My eye doctor told me that I have only Acuvue oasis as my option for now. I am dealing with dry eyes as well and I am a beginner
Sorry to hear that. I know precision one does have astigmatism lenses, but you may have more astigmatism than they offer.
@@DrEyeGuy thank you so much. My eye dr. had me try Clariti 1 day and so far it is very comfortable. For some reason Acuvue oasis is not for me!!!
@@rohinisivamurthy5279 Good to hear!
im confuse....High-water content lenses are more likely to cause dry eye than those with low-water content. They tend to send more moisture to the eye when you first put them in, but can dry out faster. so, dry eyes should not use high water content contact lenses?
It really is confusing. What's tricky is that there are many other factors to consider...and everybody is different as well.
Which lenses are the best for varifocals?
Luckily there are a lot of great multifocal lenses. Dailies Total One come in multifocal, and they are great.
@@DrEyeGuy Tjank you very much.
What eye solution works best with biofinity contacts?
Idk but as a person who uses contacts and struggles with dry eyes all the time I suggest you drink a lot more water then usual so your eyes can produce more of its own solution, after all eyes are a gel like substance that are made of 98% water, make sure you also take a daily pinch of Ocean Sea salt for minerals which will increase water absorption! Hope this helps
Iâve been using dailies total 1 and they dry my eyes out very bad they make my eyes feel like sandpaper and when theyâre very dry the pop right out of my eyes
Wow, yeah, that's way dry. Have you been able to try any other lenses so far?
does total1 have uv protection?
Unfortunately I don't believe they do. Acuvue Oasys 1-day does.
I just started wearing contacts a week and a half ago, and was given a few samples. I already had dry eyes in the past and some of these contacts made them so much worse. But youâre number one is my number one! I hardly notice Iâm wearing them. Super light, and although I still can get a little dry here and there, itâs far better than all the others Iâve tried.ðð
Great to hear, I have the same dry eye problem when wearing every other contact I.v tried so far including Dailies Precision 1's but my Dr. ordered Dailies Total 1 and I hope they are going to be more comfortable for me to wear. I can't wear the others very long without them being uncomfortable.
What about scleral contact lens?
âĪïļ
Thanks for watching
Iâve only used contacts a few times before and they make my eyes burn, blink a lot. Is this a case of dry eyes, sensitive eyes or both? Thank you!
Just to add to this, I also donât experience very clear vision with contacts and itâs often very blurry too! What do u recommend I do/try out? Iâve only ever used the cheap ish contacts
When you say you have only used the cheap contacts, what do you mean? Have you been properly fitted with contacts from your eye doctor? You are right, the burn and blur can be from Dry eyes. It could also be from a sensitivity to the material of the contact. It also can take a few days to get use to the contacts as well.
Good lord dailies total 1 are so hard to handle
Okay but if I tried the total 1 lenses and it still burns me and stick to me eyes about 1hour after ? Is there any other that are better ? Or maybe I have allergy ?
Umm doc Nearsighted and myopia are same?
Yes. Nearsighted and Myopia means distance vision is blurry.
@@DrEyeGuy Doc what if u have dry eyes and u dint know that u have it. Then you go to the doctor and they said you are nearsighted. Is that a myopia too?
Yes it is
@@DrEyeGuy doc why my eyes is not blur when iwas a kid? If i have a myopia?
@@IyukiiToram Did you have myopia when you were a kid? Or did it develop as you got older?
Dailies are not better for dry eyes. At least not for everyone. Dailies actually made thngs much worse for me. Optometricians in US indiscriminately say that dailies are better but I finally heard different recommendations from other people trained in other countries. And I changed my lenses to monthlies and voila! A thicker contact gave me better comfort at the end of the day compared to dailies. With dailies (any one of them) I want to rip my eyes after 8 hours mark. But monthlies are much more stable. I feel similar at the beginning of the day and at the end. With dailies I feel amazing at first but it significantly deteriorates.
Please give monthlies a try if you are suffering from dry eyes. And don't use clear care, at least not everyday. Clear care somehow decreases the power of moisturising agents, surface elements on lenses. Use a solution with good moisturiser, preferably something same brand as your contacts. Be very thorough about end of the day cleansing of your contacts (rubbing and rinsing).
But no matter what you do, they will get dryer towards the end of the month. My tip is to give your eyes a rest, once a week. And maybe renew the lens before 30 days. I go for 3 weeks now. It is good.
For reference: I use B&L Ultra. It was a god send compared to all the other dailies. I may try a few other monthlies too. I am curious about Air Optix, Biofinity and Vita.
Thanks for the comment. I am actually the same as you... dailies are typically more dry compared to monthly lenses for me. But I do have to say the majority of my patients notice less dryness, inflammation, and irritation with dailies compared to monthly lenses. So it can depend on the person.
I agree, monthlyâs are more comfortable but some people have allergies to the proteins that build up easily on monthlyâs. If you have giant papillary conjunctivitis, dailies are really the best option even if they arenât necessarily more comfortable, they will prevent the allergy.
Dailes total 1 are incredible I had them in over 18 hours yesterday and I didn't feel any suction/dryness/irritation/soreness in the eye by the time I decided to take them out. Honestly just remarkable. I also have trials of Precision 1, while they are a quality lens that feel great during the day I do experience that eventual suction/awareness of contact feel that eventually requires me to take them out so far around the 15 hour point. I'll be trialing these more but so far dailes total 1 is a really comfortable, slick experience.
I wear the B+L contacts and they dry out in less than a minute!! ðŽ its the clearest lenses Iâve tried on but the dryness ruins it so much. Is there something I can do?? Iâm feeling helpless with contacts
What other contacts have you tried? Have you tried any of the other daily modality contacts to see if you can wear those?
The biofinity contacts bothered my eyes so much
Vita are the worse dry my eyes out in 5 minute ðĪĶ
Thought this was going to be a great video until you announced precision 1 as number 2. Worst contacts I ever used.
Wow, really? It still continues to be one of best among my patients. Everybody is different though.
@@DrEyeGuy well yes. Especially because they tend to go to the upper part of the eye and get stuck there and itâs a nightmare to take the off when that happens. Right now I am using the Alcon Dailies Aqua Confort plus toric but even those are starting not to cut it. I use them since Iâm 18 and Iâm almost 33 now so you can see how long they were good enoughâĶ
Total 1 is the worst lens Iâve tried, Iâm not sure about âwater technology â they feel like acid instead. Oasys 1 day is the only lens I can wear without eye drops
Oasys 1 day is a really nice lens. Some people just don't like Total 1... I haven't had anybody tell me it feels like "acid" though... that would be rough.
No mention of my day coopervision
Also a great lens!
