Ok, I know this is bad and I should not be wearing contacts while in the shower but I did and had a lense fall out while washing my face. The lense ended up sticking to the top of the shower head.
I just got the precision 1 contact lenses and they work amazing for me! I've been wearing contacts for a few years now but most of the brands i used in the past have always dried out my eyes, so I preferred glasses. Love wearing my contacts now.
@@DoctorEyeHealth - I've tried numerous monthly and daily contact lenses including Biofinity Energys that I'm doing a trial in now and the NEW BAUSCH & LOMB INFUSE (just launched mid-last year) are the most comfortable lenses I've worn so far. Low Modulus - and so they're flexible and soft - making them super comfy on the eyes but yet still easy to handle to insert in your eyes. Fabulous 134 Dk/t (oxygen permeability) and they were also designed to help tackle those with dry eyes. Of course it's not going to be a 100% fit for everyone. Night vision is also a bit crisper than a lot of other lenses - at least for me - because of the aspheric lens design....it reduces glare from lights. The other plus for me is that they are also a bit easier to remove at the end of the day versus Alcon Dailies Total. Plus Infuse has UV 2 protection. So in any case - another good option to try in the daily premium lens market....and I was glad my Optometrist was a bit aware of these newly launched lenses late last year and ordered trials for me.
I have been wearing soft contacts since they came out in the 70's and just recently switched from monthly wear with daily disinfection to daily wear disposables (Cooper My Day) and the difference is remarkable. My vision is much clearer than wearing glasses and I can wear them a full day without any discomfort. And the extra cost is worth not having to do the cleaning regimen and risking eye problems.
I have very dry eyes and its hard 2 get out do the make presicion 1 lenses in light blue so you can see to take them out and do they come in disposal please answer in commemts
Precision 1’s are great and comfortable, but they are not as sharp as other contacts.. I’ve worn them and I couldn’t really see 20/20 but I strongly recommend Dailies Total 1, they’re super comfortable with crisp and clear vision.
The challenge with Dailies Total for some folks is that their slippery texture can make them a wee bit more tricky to remove at the end of the day. I've read numerous folks having a bit of that challenge but ok for others.
@@Kenster-man So annoying, I tried them out and I was so mad at the end of the day having difficulty removing them. I never ordered them again. you seriously have to scoop your eyeball out to remove them multiple times, and it irritates your eye afterwards.
For it's the opposite, I tried first dt1 toric and couldn't see. Blurry vision. After 2-3 days started getting better but still not happy with my vision. Precisoon1 toric much better vision from the first moment I put them in
@@Kenster-manthey also slip around if you blink alot and that moisturizer thing in them can be a bit too much. I never had dry eyes so it made me feel like I'm a telenovela character always on the virge of tears.
@@DoctorEyeHealth So Dr. Joseph could you please advise me what I should wear for multifocal stigmatism in right eye. I would like to have a daily contact with a high water continent since those are the ones that fit better and are more comfortable.
I was wearing Acuvue Moist Toric Dailies for a few years now. Recently switched to the Precision 1 torics...wow. Huge difference. The Precision 1s daily I can wear 16 hours without issue - they feel natural. The Acuvues get tiring within 8 hours.
Hi, Joey. Love your videos. Can you do an episode about daily toric contact lenses for astigmatism? Also would be interested in your thoughts about "contact lense vacation" e.g taking a significant break from wearing lenses and the effect on eye health. I've been wearing lenses for 20 years, but have given my eyes a break and not worn them for two years, and my eyes feel so healthy.
I started wearing Bosch and Lomb lens as my first ones , I have astigmatism and my eyepower is -1.75 in both the eyes , it was hard to put them on at first but it was better later on and it feels just fine
I use daily total lenses. I am going to buy Precision 1 too. I cannot see perfectly fine with my contact lenses that my eye doctor prescribed for me. He told me you cannot see 100% fine when wearing contact lenses as good as glasses. I really needed my contact lenses be as good as glasses. This is why I use them at parties only and use glasses when writing and working in front of PC. I hope one day we will be able to see 100% perfectly fine with contact lenses. Thanks for sharing this video. It was very educational:-)
"We also continue on plan with our manufacturing expansion, which will enable us to introduce new options for people with astigmatism, with a much anticipated launch of Dailies Total1 toric and Precision1 toric later this year." -Alcon's Q2 Earnings Call on August 19, 2020
I tried just about every lens we carry at our clinic and the precisions were the best! I wish we prescribed them more because they are amazing. The total 1’s are pretty good, but I can’t wear them as long before they dry out on me. I’m convinced it came down to the BC for my eyes.
I personally take a nap with them on but make sure to use moisturizing drops for my eye before and after the nap....cause if I take them off I find it difficult to put it back on cause as he said its made mainly from water so it dry out and shrink in size if you take it out and leave it
My doctor said they're okay to leave in solution and put on later. They said contact lens companies just like to make money. They did however say not to wear them more than one day and also not to sleep in them or shower in them. Hope that helps. I've done it and I've had no problems.
@@harithaj9351 I'm not the doctor, but I've always been told it's fine to put them in solution for a short time and put them back in. And I've had no issues doing that. I've even just set them back in the liquid that comes in their packaging for a little while.
I tried the precision ones when I first started wearing contacts and hated them. then I switched to the acuvue daily moists and those were better, but it seemed like I had redness all the time while wearing them and they always dried out pretty bad at work. now I'm trying out the Bio True one day lenses. I hope these will do better.
Just started wearing contacts yesterday. The biotrue one day is now sold under Walmart's in house brand eureka. So far the only complaint I have is the learning curve of putting them in, would recommend
Thank you doctor for valuable information. Actually I had stye on my eyelid then I watched your video about stye and i followed your advice warm compression and got relief pain and reduced swelling within a day. Then I subscribed your channel and watched this video too.Thanks doctor. God bless you.
I'm using the two week Acuvue oasys for astigmatism but have just recently ordered the daily version. I'm very good about washing my hands and properly sanitizing my contacts, but I'm a bicycle mechanic and I feel no matter how clean I get my hands I can still have deposits in my fingerprints, from all sorts of grime and degreasers and lubricants. My contacts appear clean but I don't feel confident scrubbing them in my hands so daily contacts should lower the risk of contamination.
I wear Acuvue Moist Daily Multifocal contact lenses. I am using mid on R eye and low on L eye. It took me quite a while for my brain to adjust. They are pretty comfortable if I handle them minimally before getting them into my eyes.
After 15+ years of wearing glasses, I finally tried contacts. My first-ever have been the Acuvue Moist dailies, and they have been a nightmare. They are flimsy and do not adhere to the eye consistently, with some repeatedly crumpling up and falling out in a blink yet a different one will adhere without issue. Once in, I do admit they are nice but it is not worth 25 frustrating minutes. I need an alternative. The information in your videos is awesome, thank you! I am going to try out the Precision 1s, turns out they are about the same price as the infuriatingly annoying Acuvue Moist dailies...
My optometrist said that they are moving away from the Acuvue Moist Dailies because there are better options out there for similar pricing or just a bit more. I've tried them too and they are not for me! Vision wasn't as clear as other contacts and they don't remain as comfortable and moist for all day wear. Also the Oxygen permeability (Dk/t) is fairly low - I prefer lenses with much higher Dk/t as I do wear lenses 16 hrs/day.
Tried the CV 54% hydrogen and DT1...vision at close range was better in the CV, but DT1 seemed slightly blurry though much more comfortable and no issue taking the out. My question is, is there any real difference between the low, med and high ADD ranges that DT1 and other contacts come in please?
Hi, how about about a video for daily contacts for astigmatism + dry eyes? I've been wearing Biotrue (and have dry eye disease + astigmatism), and they are trash (dry out fast, irritate my eyes, feels like a suction cup rather than contact). My conditions worsen severally and symptoms last for days
The question I have is this ! I'm moving to dailies because of complications with the 30 day version. Is there a time frame to have the dailies in ??? Most consumers are up by 8:00am then go to sleep by 9:00 or 10:00pm ! That's about 12 or 13 hours with the dailies in... Any thoughts from anyone ???
Thank you for making this so simple and easy to understand! Since wearing masks back in clinic, I need to make the switch to contacts but didn’t know where to start! Appreciate your video!!
Thank you for the recommendation of Dailies TOTAL1. I tried a couple of different daily lenses and TOTAL1 are really the most comfortable! These lens are my favorite now.
Thank you ! My experience was with Walmart optical. The Dr put them in and said the optician wold show me how to take them out and put them in . He said he didnt have time right now . I left thinking i could do it myself. Wrong. Wore them all night and went back to Walmart. Said id have to wait till dr. Came in . A week away . I was lucky to have a friend that puts her husband's in and out every day . Success. My next attempt was watching you video. I got them in first try .! Im confident i can get them out . Ill update you on getting them out ...
I have tried so many brands and I like Comfi the best, followed by Coopervision one you mentioned and also the Proclear ones. I found the Bausch and lomb ones hard to use and drying on my eyes. Focus Dailies ware very hard to remove
thanks, Dr I'm a practitioner from the UK I agree with 100% in the classification of cls I use all the cls you mentioned except Alcon precision we don't have it here in UK yet, keep the good work take care Ali
Doctor is it normal for the vision to be "slightly" blurrier upclose with nearsighted glasses? I got my new glasses, everything seems crisp and clear in intermediate and far distances (with ghosting double vision unfortunately which dosen't wanna go away ever 😞) but upclose it's a little blurrier, my previous glasses also had blurriness up close and I think I could see better without them while reading or doing other near work tasks.
Depends, are you over the age of 40 and have presbyopia? Do you have accommodative issues? Perhaps your glasses are just causing you do accommodate (use your focusing muscles) more - flexing the crystalline lens (which may cause a minification effect with the glasses) vs seeing without the glasses.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Lol I am 17 doctor, I didn't put in my pd measurement as it could leave my eyes in that spot for the rest of my journey with my glasses maybe that's causing issue Idk, I do have convergence insufficiency though for which I am doing vision therapy exercises (Brock String and Hart Chart) ones from past 3 weeks and I've noticed whole lot of improvement, but still it persists and hopefully would go away somehow ;)
Hi Doctor Allen. What is your nr. 1 tip for choosing a soft contact lens for a patient? Since K-readings are seemingly a poor indicator of which lens to choose, how do you usually make your choice? Thanks a million!
I use both the Dailies Total 1 and the Precision 1 contacts. The only annoyance I have is with how slippery the Total 1's are when I'm removing, but it's not too bad with practice. Between the two, I can't tell a difference in comfort or moisture. I wish they were cheaper, the reason I've got a supply of both is because the Total 1's were actually cheaper online due to how long they've been on the market. I look forward to the Precision 1's dropping in price over the next couple of years, because I find them easier to handle and I like that they have UV protection.
That is surprising to me that you got the Total 1s cheaper! Mind boggling. But I can tell you there are some new lenses coming very soon which you may like. Stay Tuned!
So glad you mentioned the My Day contacts. Total 1 was not great for me so waiting to try out My Day. If they don’t feel as good as my monthlies then I am going back to Night and Day! Thank you for all your great advice.
I got contacts on friday and I thought it was great! But then realized when I tried to drive the next 2 days I can’t read upclose on my phone, or labels on products, nor can I read street or exit signs!
That's because you're a new wearer but trust me soon in like a week or 2 ur eyes get used to it and you can see more clearer when it comes to being up close to your phone and close surroundings
Anything wrong with Air Optiix? That's what I use and only order for one eye. My Dr knew I couldn't afford 2 different prescriptions so she kinda combined them. They are inexpensive compared to others. I have very dry eyes., even tried the eye duct things but didn't work. Yes, I drop mine and sometimes find it the next day 😂.
First time contact wearer here! Started 5 days ago and my Dr. gave me Precision 1 trial lenses but by the 3rd day I couldn't handle how blurry they would get toward the afternoon and my Dr. told me it was because they were drying out so she gave me Dailies Total 1 trial and these are so much better. Bad news is my insurance doesn't cover Dailies Total 1 and they cost +$900 at the office! Good thing I have a Costco membership cause they are much cheaper there, but make no mistake, they are still a pretty penny.
I use alcon dailies aqua comfort plus, they are very comfortable although sometimes my eyes dry out after just a few hours. I searched up their DK/T and noticed it was really low, coming in at a 26. Not sure if that effects eyes too much as its a daily contact.
Hey doc I had a question. You mentioned in another video that you wore toric lenses before, but now you are wearing the dailies total 1 which is a spherical lense. How are you correcting your astigmatism? With increased sphere power?
I have astigmatism in one eye. I want to try the dailies aquacomfort plus Toric lenses. The biotrue astigmatism lenses have been so dry and rip easily from me rubbing my eyes. Is switching from thos to toric lenses, a big adjustment?
Hey! I am currently on DAILIES Aquacomfort plus (they're super comfy, and I barely feel them) trial before my prescription is finalized. My prescription is multifocal with the correction for the presbyopia being +1 - I can still see stuff close by properly without any visual aids tho. I was thinking about maybe switching to the single vision contacts since the multifocal are so expensive. Will my eyes get used to that or just sticking with multifocal is the best thing to do? Also, if you can do a video on multifocal contacts that'd be great.
Any tips on how to get used to multifocal contacts? I am myopic, see fine at arms length, and need 1.25 readers. I am just so frustrated with glasses and do not like progressives. Any ideas?
Well there are several multiocal lens options on the market, not 1 seems to work best for everyone. Most work best with good lighting though, so make sure you are in a well lit area.
Hi, Doctor. I had a question about using colored contacts for fun. I only want to use them for a few select days, not every day. This obviously isnt an emergency, so theres no reason to break quarantine. On the other hand, I have no perscription yet. Do you think an online exam like 1800-contacts would be comprehensive enough for single-use lenses? Thanks!
Not contact lens related (I'm wearing A contact lens does that count?) 33 years old, just had cataract surgery in 1 eye, Toric IOL for distance vision (Great vision, I could read the bottom two lines of the eye chart which apparently most people can't do without glasses, so stoked about that.) Question about if I had chosen a Toric IOL for Near vision, and the depth of focus for that IOL? I can wear my old glasses and read with them, but my focus is only about 10cm or 4 inches. If I had chosen a Near IOL is that how it would have been? Or would I have seen from very close to about 1 meter/3 feet away?
I have a question! Recently I went to my local Costco to try other lenses than the ones I have (Acuvue Oasys Daily with Astigmatism) which are ever so slightly uncomfortable. They suggested I try normal lenses without astigmatism (I have low astigmatism) and OH MY GOD. Night and day. Why is the astigmatism version of the lenses less comfortable?
My left eye has astigmatism but my eye doctor prescribed me with 1 day Acuvue Moist with Lacreon... she had me tried the Oasys for Astigmatism first but it was so uncomfortable... so she ended prescribing me the normal ones..
Erm not sure if it right video but im gonna ask a question... I wore contacts usually.. was outside for fresh air walking. It was snowing that day... i think snow went in 1 of my contact eye...but i took them out to cleaned already... few days later suddenly soreness around the eye strange feeling due could be rubbed eye too hard or that snow...sorry im kinda paraniod just want advices what to do... should i try get eye appointment?. I tried to use cold compresses to help the pain but its still there around eye skin. Ive took the paracetmols but think its not working. I know the risk of water n contacts dangerous getting infection. Help thanks
I love dailies total one. I have very sensitive eyes and for the most part they are great. I still get times where they hurt. Probably from all the dust I'm around when working with horses. Also they cause me to have blurry vision up close like my eyes can't focus on what I'm looking at.
I tried the Dailies Total 1 Alcon Multifocal lenses. It's true they are very comfortable and provide sharp distance vision; however, I did not find them at all satisfactory for near vision work. I could not read with them at all. They really are not multifocal. So, in terms of contacts, is there anything better for multifocal vision?
Hello doc, idk if you'll even see this but I recently got a the optimix color contacts and I got a few doubts. First, they're pretty comfortable, I can easily say that I could wear them for an entire day no problem and the dk/t is 110 so I personally don't feel any dryness. My issue is that even tho they're supposed to be prescription, I dont really see any better and I kinda get this feeling that I have something btw my eyes. I just wanna know the why of this and if there is any solution
Hi doctor, I am wearing the biofinity toric monthly contact lenses and recently started to use the opti-free pure moist as my contact solution. I am just wondering do I need to use a protein remover tablets to remove all the proteins, deposits etc. or it is enough to just use the opti-free pure moist to disinfect the contact lenses? Would very much appreciate if you could answer my doubt! Btw I love your videos, they are really informative!
I just started wearing these same lenses but I can sometimes feel them in my eyes. I was wearing hydrasoft toric until they discontinued them. I’m so heartbroken. Do you feel a discomfort while wearing these lenses?
Sir please 🙏 : what to do to after the surgery of amblopia to improve the eye. -It's been 3 year but I don't see any improvement in Amblopia. My both eye are have different number with lazy. Can u tell what should I do to improve it. Please
Sir pls sugest which eye glas is best. -50 those eyes cilindrical power. Regular user . Mobile. Pls help sir. Some time iritating glas . Readings. im waiting for ur reply
For peeps that have an astigmatism and need bifocals... would the multi focal or astigmatism lenses be best? Correct for the astigmatism and then use readers as needed? Or would the multi focal work adequately? Thanks, Dottie
The oasis lens is blink stabilized and I find that it does not stay in place enough for someone with higher toric RX also they would float up and rub my limbus. I like ACP. I tried precision for fit I can’t wait to see them in toric
The Astigmatism in my right eye is to bad for daily soft lenses. However, I'm in the Coopervision Clariti toric monthlies which work great for me! I am just thankful I can get soft lenses in my prescription. I'ts true what you say about the lack of blue tint in them. But they have UV protection and I rarely drop my lenses so yeah :) My previous lenses had the blue tint though.
I love my Daily Total 1 lenses. However to save money my eye doctor just prescribed the brand new Bausch and Lomb Infuse contacts. I haven't tried them yet as I'm using up my Total 1 lenses. Have you heard anything regarding comfort for the Infuse lenses? My ophthalmologist said I was the first patient he has prescribed them to. I work 12-16 hour shifts and dry eyes is a major concern, so I need a moist contact
I have a question.. so my left eye has astigmatism. My eye doctor had me tried the Acuvue Oasys with Astigmatism but boy it was uncomfortable... so she ended up prescribing me a regular one. Will that not worsen my astigmatism??
Hello doc this has nothing to do with contacts but i Just wanted to ask something cause im Concerned Soo sometimes for example when i wake up and get our of bed and take a few steps my vision goes completely White for a few secs and goes back to normal Is that something serious? Is there something wrong with my eyes? This morning i tried to reach something on my selve and it happened again for a few secs:/ Im nearsighted btw and have astigmatism as well
If you have a 40dkt lens like the B&L, would you recommend to wear them shorter or less often? Or can you go 16h/7days without having to fear consequences because of a lack of oygen?
I am confused by you saying that the Precision 1 have a "low modulus". I presume you are talking about Young's Modulus. Is that right? I thought that a lower Young's Modulus meant that it was more ductile (less stiff), and yet you say that they hold their shape better. Surely if they hold their shape better, they are stiffer and therefore must have a higher Young's Modulus. What am I failing to understand here?
So funny enough, I was really confused by that before I made this video, as a product engineer gave a presentation and they had it switched up. I asked them to confirm it for me...but it turns out they had it backward the whole time😅 SO you are correct. Thanks for catching that.
Love Alcon lenses but really struggled with the Total 1's for some reason. At first they'd make my eyes feel like they were swimming in water which I found disconcerting, then after a few hours wear my eyes would be screaming 'take them out!!' lol as they became so dry 👀🤣. I still regularly use their Focus Dailies and Aqua Comfort Plus...both sooo comfortable but appreciate not as healthy for your eyes due to lower dkt. Can't wait for Precision to be launched in the UK!!!
I've been wearing contact lenses for 28 years. I tried the coopervision 54% hydrogels (BC 8.4) and the daily total1 lenses (BC 8.5)... I have GPC and for whatever reason the coopervision lenses caused a mild dull pain after a couple hours.. Daily total 1 definitely won between the 2.. however I cant afford them, so I went back to air optix night and day (BC 8.6).. they are still more comfortable than the coopervision daily hydrogels. Although I know switching to dailies would be better for my GPC. not sure if it had to do with the BC because I'm 8.6 and I believe they were 8.4.. at same time why would my eye doctor give me the wrong BC???? My eye doctor of over 30 years retired and finding a new eye doctor that I trust hasn't happened yet and I'm not going back to this last one.
You have been wearing contact lens for 28 yr???? that is so long. do you have any eye disease or irritation. Can i ask how long do you normally wear them . Do you wear occasionally??? or every day??
I hope i can wear contacts lens so long time like you. I am wearing contacts mainly and my glassess only at home. I can't go out with glasses cuz i look so weird...
@@samanthaharr9927 how long do you normally wear your contacts? I wear early in the morning until i go to bed, take them off. Am i wearing too long?????????
@@s__bang1894 I am not an ophthalmologist. I wear morning til night when I do wear them, but I'm trying to use glasses more often. On occasion I will take a 7 day break from contacts. My issue with glasses is periphery and I don't feel safe driving and also fear that if they get knocked off my face in public, I will be rendered handicapped (its happened and its scary trying to navigate when impaired) so for me thats why I have chosen contacts as primary eyewear. Glasses are healthier and you should definitely try to wear them more than contacts.
Do you have any videos on contact lenses for very high astigmatism? I'm at least a minus 25 and don't know what my options are if there's any new better options out there, I know that soft lenses only come in a minus 20 as the strongest prescription I also was thinking of gas permeable again but I tend to lose those because my eyes water a lot and when I blink they always pop out
Please HELP! My eyes get really dry when I use contacts! My doctors made try two different brands. They both still make eyes dry. I have the monthly ones, but was wondering if it’s worth risking my eyes like that with contacts? I always have to put in eye drops( Artificial tears 6+ times a day) Should I just revert back to glasses?( I work with computers a lot, could that be the reason why?)
What brands of daily lenses caters for a prescription with astigmatism? i have failed three contact lens practice trials at the opticians (i am in London) as they don't use daily ones and i have heard they are far more comfy and easier to use for a big baby like me lol!
Thank you for your post! I'm curious. I have GPC and issues w/ preservatives. Do you feel like dailies are an option? I've always wanted to try them, but I worry about the solution that they're stored in...
i dunno if you made video about it already eye disease called toxoplasmosis you should very helpful 5 years ago they said i got toxoplasmosis i had 19 blood tests all negative results this year in may i went hospital i had pinkeye both eyes yellow discharge i had clear film over eye this time they said its uveitis where i had toxoplasmosis before on same eye
This may not be related to this video (or not.. I dunno i wear glasses ) but I've noticed that when not wearing any correction, that while still "vision impaired " while closing one eye. The other sees double (or tiktok like). Is this a problem? What's the treatment?
Hello, I started using contacts very recently and I am still not sure about everything. If it's not a problem I'd like to ask two quick questions. Are contacts supposed to be entirely imperceptible on your eyes or is it normal to have this feeling of something in your eye (like a grain of sand or an eyelash)? And if they're (contacts) starting to feel uncomfortable can I use eye drops to moisturize the eyes? Thank you a lot in advance!!
@@madison4570 After a year of wearing both daily and monthly eye contacts I think I can answer both questions 😁 good contacts are supposed to be imperceptible on the eye! If at any moment during wearing them they feel uncomfortable on the eye or cause any pain, it's a sign to contact your eye doctor. And moisturising your eyes with eye drops is absolutely necessary for keeping your eyes healthy and preventing contacts from drying during the day. There are special eye drops for contacts lenses, you can find them at the pharmacy or at your doctor's 💜 hope this helps 🥰
Hello, I have nighttime contacts so i sleep in them everyday. They feel great although some days are clearer than other days. Some days when I take my contacts out, i have blurry vision. On other days, when i take out my contacts my vision would be really clear. I don't know why thats happening. How am i suppose to sleep with contacts in? Should I sleep on my side or back? Thank you!
even if they are night time contact, if you can take them out before bed... definitely do so. I always fall asleep without warning so I'm guilty of doing this and I have a whole extra eye condition from doing so called GPC, it didn't matter that I had night time ones. Its not going to matter how you sleep regardless. Try to take them out before bed as much as possible. And if youre going to sleep in them youre going to have to make sure you clean them really well. I soak mine in supraclens.. and if I'm out of that I soak in Clear Care.. Its a lot of maintenance to sleep in them and it hurts your eyes.
Awesome video as always ! I like the monthly b&l ultra and will have the biotrue week as the infuse is not available at my store :( how do they compare ?
I started struggling with dry eyes when I had my first baby 6 years ago and it's never really improved since. I never had a problem before then with just the normal 2 week lenses, even wearing them long hours. My doctor recommended the Total 1 and they were comfortable, but I was still getting itchy eyes near the end of the day. I've pretty much switched to full-time glasses at this point and it's annoying (although fashionable!); I feel like I just can't see as well. If those weren't working, am I out of luck with contacts? Can those temporary hormonal shifts cause a permanent dry eye issue? And LOL, yup - totally struggled to get the Total 1's out of my eyes!
I’m not sure if you already tried them but I really didn’t like them. At first when inserting they are very comfortable and soft and barely notice they are there but very quickly they started to dry out in my eyes. Like an hour later. 3 hours max and I had to take them out. I tried for six months. They just didn’t work for me.
Ever lost a contact lens somewhere? Where is the weirdest place you have found them?
Had to remove a Rgp lens due to dust particles. Just sat down at a booth at Applebee's and the lens was nowhere to be found after i popped it out.
Could you tell me if there is a soft lens in colors for astigmatism, a toric lens...thx!
Stuck to the side of a wine glass 😂
Stuck onto a light switch.
Ok, I know this is bad and I should not be wearing contacts while in the shower but I did and had a lense fall out while washing my face. The lense ended up sticking to the top of the shower head.

I just got the precision 1 contact lenses and they work amazing for me! I've been wearing contacts for a few years now but most of the brands i used in the past have always dried out my eyes, so I preferred glasses. Love wearing my contacts now.
That makes me so happy to hear! 👍👍👍

I have been wearing soft contacts since they came out in the 70's and just recently switched from monthly wear with daily disinfection to daily wear disposables (Cooper My Day) and the difference is remarkable. My vision is much clearer than wearing glasses and I can wear them a full day without any discomfort. And the extra cost is worth not having to do the cleaning regimen and risking eye problems.
I have very dry eyes and its hard 2 get out do the make presicion 1 lenses in light blue so you can see to take them out and do they come in disposal please answer in commemts
Can you please answer me
Precision 1’s are great and comfortable, but they are not as sharp as other contacts.. I’ve worn them and I couldn’t really see 20/20 but I strongly recommend Dailies Total 1, they’re super comfortable with crisp and clear vision.
The challenge with Dailies Total for some folks is that their slippery texture can make them a wee bit more tricky to remove at the end of the day. I've read numerous folks having a bit of that challenge but ok for others.
@@Kenster-man So annoying, I tried them out and I was so mad at the end of the day having difficulty removing them. I never ordered them again. you seriously have to scoop your eyeball out to remove them multiple times, and it irritates your eye afterwards.
Have you ever worn Acuvue Oasys? Does BC matters?
For it's the opposite, I tried first dt1 toric and couldn't see. Blurry vision. After 2-3 days started getting better but still not happy with my vision. Precisoon1 toric much better vision from the first moment I put them in
@@Kenster-manthey also slip around if you blink alot and that moisturizer thing in them can be a bit too much. I never had dry eyes so it made me feel like I'm a telenovela character always on the virge of tears.
Thanks!
Welcome! Thank you so much!!!!!! You made my day!
Big benefit of Acuvue Oasys 1 Day for me is it’s available in a flatter base curve, unlike most other daily disposables from other brands.
OOh yes, that is true. Post LASIK?
@@DoctorEyeHealth No, not post-LASIK. Just born this way:)
@@DoctorEyeHealth So Dr. Joseph could you please advise me what I should wear for multifocal stigmatism in right eye. I would like to have a daily contact with a high water continent since those are the ones that fit better and are more comfortable.
I was wearing Acuvue Moist Toric Dailies for a few years now. Recently switched to the Precision 1 torics...wow. Huge difference. The Precision 1s daily I can wear 16 hours without issue - they feel natural. The Acuvues get tiring within 8 hours.
Hi, Joey. Love your videos. Can you do an episode about daily toric contact lenses for astigmatism? Also would be interested in your thoughts about "contact lense vacation" e.g taking a significant break from wearing lenses and the effect on eye health. I've been wearing lenses for 20 years, but have given my eyes a break and not worn them for two years, and my eyes feel so healthy.
I started wearing Bosch and Lomb lens as my first ones , I have astigmatism and my eyepower is -1.75 in both the eyes , it was hard to put them on at first but it was better later on and it feels just fine
I use daily total lenses. I am going to buy Precision 1 too. I cannot see perfectly fine with my contact lenses that my eye doctor prescribed for me. He told me you cannot see 100% fine when wearing contact lenses as good as glasses. I really needed my contact lenses be as good as glasses. This is why I use them at parties only and use glasses when writing and working in front of PC. I hope one day we will be able to see 100% perfectly fine with contact lenses. Thanks for sharing this video. It was very educational:-)
Can’t wait until the precision and daily total lenses come out for astigmatism 😩
Me too. Daily Total seems amazing but without that astigmatism is a deal breaker.
Sarah I am not sure if I reading what you wrote correctly. But I wear daily’s for astigmatism.
@@neonluv40 i will clarify. I also cant wait for daily total for astigmatism. But without the astigmatism i cant even try it out.
"We also continue on plan with our manufacturing expansion, which will enable us to introduce new options for people with astigmatism, with a much anticipated launch of Dailies Total1 toric and Precision1 toric later this year." -Alcon's Q2 Earnings Call on August 19, 2020
@@Christian-ed5uc 𝕒𝕨𝕖𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖❕
I tried just about every lens we carry at our clinic and the precisions were the best! I wish we prescribed them more because they are amazing. The total 1’s are pretty good, but I can’t wear them as long before they dry out on me. I’m convinced it came down to the BC for my eyes.
Can you take your 1 day contacts out to take a nap and use them again the remainder of the day? Thanks for all the great info!
I want to know the same please doctor answer.
I personally take a nap with them on but make sure to use moisturizing drops for my eye before and after the nap....cause if I take them off I find it difficult to put it back on cause as he said its made mainly from water so it dry out and shrink in size if you take it out and leave it
My doctor said they're okay to leave in solution and put on later. They said contact lens companies just like to make money. They did however say not to wear them more than one day and also not to sleep in them or shower in them.
Hope that helps. I've done it and I've had no problems.
Same question. Can we remove it for taking a shower or a nap while storing in solution for the meantime .
@@harithaj9351 I'm not the doctor, but I've always been told it's fine to put them in solution for a short time and put them back in. And I've had no issues doing that. I've even just set them back in the liquid that comes in their packaging for a little while.
That is the most unique and beautiful shade of blue I've seen in blue eyes ❤
My mom found her lens in the soup we ate for dinner once XD
Lol
LOL one of my first pairs of RGPs became soup incredients in my first week of wear 🥴 about US$100 gone 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you so much! I am switching to using daily contact lenses after using monthly contact lenses for 6 years.
I tried the precision ones when I first started wearing contacts and hated them. then I switched to the acuvue daily moists and those were better, but it seemed like I had redness all the time while wearing them and they always dried out pretty bad at work. now I'm trying out the Bio True one day lenses. I hope these will do better.
What are your thoughts on the Acuvue Moist 1 Day Lenses?
"I know 2020 is already half over with." You didn't need to hurt us like that Dr. Allen lmao
halfway through 2021 be like
2022 over here just going down hill
I'm just getting new contact lenses today! This is perfect timing!!
Just started wearing contacts yesterday. The biotrue one day is now sold under Walmart's in house brand eureka. So far the only complaint I have is the learning curve of putting them in, would recommend
Thank you doctor for valuable information.
Actually I had stye on my eyelid then I watched your video about stye and i followed your advice warm compression and got relief pain and reduced swelling within a day. Then I subscribed your channel and watched this video too.Thanks doctor.
God bless you.
Omg thanks doc great timing I’m getting my contacts todayyyyyy
I'm using the two week Acuvue oasys for astigmatism but have just recently ordered the daily version. I'm very good about washing my hands and properly sanitizing my contacts, but I'm a bicycle mechanic and I feel no matter how clean I get my hands I can still have deposits in my fingerprints, from all sorts of grime and degreasers and lubricants. My contacts appear clean but I don't feel confident scrubbing them in my hands so daily contacts should lower the risk of contamination.
I wear Acuvue Moist Daily Multifocal contact lenses. I am using mid on R eye and low on L eye. It took me quite a while for my brain to adjust. They are pretty comfortable if I handle them minimally before getting them into my eyes.
After 15+ years of wearing glasses, I finally tried contacts. My first-ever have been the Acuvue Moist dailies, and they have been a nightmare. They are flimsy and do not adhere to the eye consistently, with some repeatedly crumpling up and falling out in a blink yet a different one will adhere without issue. Once in, I do admit they are nice but it is not worth 25 frustrating minutes. I need an alternative. The information in your videos is awesome, thank you! I am going to try out the Precision 1s, turns out they are about the same price as the infuriatingly annoying Acuvue Moist dailies...
My optometrist said that they are moving away from the Acuvue Moist Dailies because there are better options out there for similar pricing or just a bit more. I've tried them too and they are not for me! Vision wasn't as clear as other contacts and they don't remain as comfortable and moist for all day wear. Also the Oxygen permeability (Dk/t) is fairly low - I prefer lenses with much higher Dk/t as I do wear lenses 16 hrs/day.
@@Kenster-man Do you think 90 Dk/t are good for contacts? Those are the ones I have right now (it’s easy vision but they also offer 171 dk/t).
Tried the CV 54% hydrogen and DT1...vision at close range was better in the CV, but DT1 seemed slightly blurry though much more comfortable and no issue taking the out. My question is, is there any real difference between the low, med and high ADD ranges that DT1 and other contacts come in please?
Hi, how about about a video for daily contacts for astigmatism + dry eyes? I've been wearing Biotrue (and have dry eye disease + astigmatism), and they are trash (dry out fast, irritate my eyes, feels like a suction cup rather than contact). My conditions worsen severally and symptoms last for days
The question I have is this !
I'm moving to dailies because of complications with the 30 day version.
Is there a time frame to have the dailies in ???
Most consumers are up by 8:00am then go to sleep by 9:00 or 10:00pm !
That's about 12 or 13 hours with the dailies in...
Any thoughts from anyone ???
I wear Dailies AquaComfort PLUS, and can wear them up to 14 hours a day. Hope that helps
@@oo-mp4ol
Very much so ✌️
Thank You 🙏
I just got daily lenses, the samples were Precision 1 so that's what I continued with. Very happy as I barely notice I'm wearing them
Thank you for making this so simple and easy to understand! Since wearing masks back in clinic, I need to make the switch to contacts but didn’t know where to start! Appreciate your video!!
Thank you for the recommendation of Dailies TOTAL1. I tried a couple of different daily lenses and TOTAL1 are really the most comfortable! These lens are my favorite now.
Thank you ! My experience was with Walmart optical. The Dr put them in and said the optician wold show me how to take them out and put them in . He said he didnt have time right now . I left thinking i could do it myself. Wrong. Wore them all night and went back to Walmart. Said id have to wait till dr. Came in . A week away . I was lucky to have a friend that puts her husband's in and out every day . Success. My next attempt was watching you video. I got them in first try .! Im confident i can get them out . Ill update you on getting them out ...
I have tried so many brands and I like Comfi the best, followed by Coopervision one you mentioned and also the Proclear ones. I found the Bausch and lomb ones hard to use and drying on my eyes. Focus Dailies ware very hard to remove
I was just considering going into daily contacts and this helped a lot!
thanks, Dr I'm a practitioner from the UK I agree with 100% in the classification of cls I use all the cls you mentioned except Alcon precision we don't have it here in UK yet, keep the good work take care Ali
Great video. I would like to hear your recommendation of lenses that you can wear more than a day (weekly, 2 weeks, monthly).
Doctor is it normal for the vision to be "slightly" blurrier upclose with nearsighted glasses? I got my new glasses, everything seems crisp and clear in intermediate and far distances (with ghosting double vision unfortunately which dosen't wanna go away ever 😞) but upclose it's a little blurrier, my previous glasses also had blurriness up close and I think I could see better without them while reading or doing other near work tasks.
Depends, are you over the age of 40 and have presbyopia? Do you have accommodative issues? Perhaps your glasses are just causing you do accommodate (use your focusing muscles) more - flexing the crystalline lens (which may cause a minification effect with the glasses) vs seeing without the glasses.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Lol I am 17 doctor, I didn't put in my pd measurement as it could leave my eyes in that spot for the rest of my journey with my glasses maybe that's causing issue Idk, I do have convergence insufficiency though for which I am doing vision therapy exercises (Brock String and Hart Chart) ones from past 3 weeks and I've noticed whole lot of improvement, but still it persists and hopefully would go away somehow ;)
Hi Doctor Allen. What is your nr. 1 tip for choosing a soft contact lens for a patient? Since K-readings are seemingly a poor indicator of which lens to choose, how do you usually make your choice?
Thanks a million!
Dr allen really encourage me to try contact lens for real.. i finally try daily contact with fresh kon alluring and i just ordered dailies total 1.
I use both the Dailies Total 1 and the Precision 1 contacts. The only annoyance I have is with how slippery the Total 1's are when I'm removing, but it's not too bad with practice. Between the two, I can't tell a difference in comfort or moisture. I wish they were cheaper, the reason I've got a supply of both is because the Total 1's were actually cheaper online due to how long they've been on the market. I look forward to the Precision 1's dropping in price over the next couple of years, because I find them easier to handle and I like that they have UV protection.
That is surprising to me that you got the Total 1s cheaper! Mind boggling. But I can tell you there are some new lenses coming very soon which you may like. Stay Tuned!
So glad you mentioned the My Day contacts. Total 1 was not great for me so waiting to try out My Day. If they don’t feel as good as my monthlies then I am going back to Night and Day! Thank you for all your great advice.
I got contacts on friday and I thought it was great! But then realized when I tried to drive the next 2 days I can’t read upclose on my phone, or labels on products, nor can I read street or exit signs!
That's because you're a new wearer but trust me soon in like a week or 2 ur eyes get used to it and you can see more clearer when it comes to being up close to your phone and close surroundings
I have a contact stuck under my lid tried what you said so i made appt.with eye doctor for Thursday to see if they can remove.
Anything wrong with Air Optiix? That's what I use and only order for one eye. My Dr knew I couldn't afford 2 different prescriptions so she kinda combined them. They are inexpensive compared to others. I have very dry eyes., even tried the eye duct things but didn't work. Yes, I drop mine and sometimes find it the next day 😂.
First time contact wearer here! Started 5 days ago and my Dr. gave me Precision 1 trial lenses but by the 3rd day I couldn't handle how blurry they would get toward the afternoon and my Dr. told me it was because they were drying out so she gave me Dailies Total 1 trial and these are so much better. Bad news is my insurance doesn't cover Dailies Total 1 and they cost +$900 at the office! Good thing I have a Costco membership cause they are much cheaper there, but make no mistake, they are still a pretty penny.
How is the Costco pricing? I’m doing contacts and I’m looking to take my prescription there
I use alcon dailies aqua comfort plus, they are very comfortable although sometimes my eyes dry out after just a few hours. I searched up their DK/T and noticed it was really low, coming in at a 26. Not sure if that effects eyes too much as its a daily contact.
Thankfully they are above the low 24 dk. Minimum.
2 years late but if that's happening to you, it's because you're not blinking enough
Hey doc I had a question. You mentioned in another video that you wore toric lenses before, but now you are wearing the dailies total 1 which is a spherical lense. How are you correcting your astigmatism? With increased sphere power?
Can you do a video on ortho k lenses?! I’m just now hearing about these. Very interested
I have astigmatism in one eye. I want to try the dailies aquacomfort plus Toric lenses. The biotrue astigmatism lenses have been so dry and rip easily from me rubbing my eyes. Is switching from thos to toric lenses, a big adjustment?
Precision only comes in 8.3. I'm currently wearing cooper vision biofinity 8.6. will I be able to wear the precision?
Hey! I am currently on DAILIES Aquacomfort plus (they're super comfy, and I barely feel them) trial before my prescription is finalized. My prescription is multifocal with the correction for the presbyopia being +1 - I can still see stuff close by properly without any visual aids tho. I was thinking about maybe switching to the single vision contacts since the multifocal are so expensive. Will my eyes get used to that or just sticking with multifocal is the best thing to do? Also, if you can do a video on multifocal contacts that'd be great.
This is just the video I needed!! Why is it painful when I take the contacts out? I would go running for my eye drops as soon as I take them off.
Any tips on how to get used to multifocal contacts? I am myopic, see fine at arms length, and need 1.25 readers. I am just so frustrated with glasses and do not like progressives. Any ideas?
Well there are several multiocal lens options on the market, not 1 seems to work best for everyone. Most work best with good lighting though, so make sure you are in a well lit area.
Hi, Doctor. I had a question about using colored contacts for fun. I only want to use them for a few select days, not every day. This obviously isnt an emergency, so theres no reason to break quarantine. On the other hand, I have no perscription yet. Do you think an online exam like 1800-contacts would be comprehensive enough for single-use lenses? Thanks!
the contact stuck to the door knob joke is LMAO love your humor doc!
The ultimate review. Once you get to this video you don't need to search any more. Well done 👍 and thanks
Not contact lens related (I'm wearing A contact lens does that count?) 33 years old, just had cataract surgery in 1 eye, Toric IOL for distance vision (Great vision, I could read the bottom two lines of the eye chart which apparently most people can't do without glasses, so stoked about that.) Question about if I had chosen a Toric IOL for Near vision, and the depth of focus for that IOL?
I can wear my old glasses and read with them, but my focus is only about 10cm or 4 inches. If I had chosen a Near IOL is that how it would have been? Or would I have seen from very close to about 1 meter/3 feet away?
I have a question! Recently I went to my local Costco to try other lenses than the ones I have (Acuvue Oasys Daily with Astigmatism) which are ever so slightly uncomfortable. They suggested I try normal lenses without astigmatism (I have low astigmatism) and OH MY GOD. Night and day. Why is the astigmatism version of the lenses less comfortable?
My left eye has astigmatism but my eye doctor prescribed me with 1 day Acuvue Moist with Lacreon... she had me tried the Oasys for Astigmatism first but it was so uncomfortable... so she ended prescribing me the normal ones..
Erm not sure if it right video but im gonna ask a question...
I wore contacts usually.. was outside for fresh air walking. It was snowing that day... i think snow went in 1 of my contact eye...but i took them out to cleaned already... few days later suddenly soreness around the eye strange feeling due could be rubbed eye too hard or that snow...sorry im kinda paraniod just want advices what to do... should i try get eye appointment?. I tried to use cold compresses to help the pain but its still there around eye skin. Ive took the paracetmols but think its not working. I know the risk of water n contacts dangerous getting infection. Help thanks
I love dailies total one. I have very sensitive eyes and for the most part they are great. I still get times where they hurt. Probably from all the dust I'm around when working with horses. Also they cause me to have blurry vision up close like my eyes can't focus on what I'm looking at.
I tried the Dailies Total 1 Alcon Multifocal lenses. It's true they are very comfortable and provide sharp distance vision; however, I did not find them at all satisfactory for near vision work. I could not read with them at all. They really are not multifocal. So, in terms of contacts, is there anything better for multifocal vision?
Hello doc, idk if you'll even see this but I recently got a the optimix color contacts and I got a few doubts. First, they're pretty comfortable, I can easily say that I could wear them for an entire day no problem and the dk/t is 110 so I personally don't feel any dryness. My issue is that even tho they're supposed to be prescription, I dont really see any better and I kinda get this feeling that I have something btw my eyes. I just wanna know the why of this and if there is any solution
Hi doctor, I am wearing the biofinity toric monthly contact lenses and recently started to use the opti-free pure moist as my contact solution. I am just wondering do I need to use a protein remover tablets to remove all the proteins, deposits etc. or it is enough to just use the opti-free pure moist to disinfect the contact lenses? Would very much appreciate if you could answer my doubt! Btw I love your videos, they are really informative!
I just started wearing these same lenses but I can sometimes feel them in my eyes. I was wearing hydrasoft toric until they discontinued them. I’m so heartbroken. Do you feel a discomfort while wearing these lenses?
Sir please 🙏 :

For peeps that have an astigmatism and need bifocals... would the multi focal or astigmatism lenses be best? Correct for the astigmatism and then use readers as needed? Or would the multi focal work adequately? Thanks, Dottie
The oasis lens is blink stabilized and I find that it does not stay in place enough for someone with higher toric RX also they would float up and rub my limbus. I like ACP. I tried precision for fit I can’t wait to see them in toric
What is your professional opinion on rewetting drops, I think this would be helpful
The Astigmatism in my right eye is to bad for daily soft lenses. However, I'm in the Coopervision Clariti toric monthlies which work great for me! I am just thankful I can get soft lenses in my prescription. I'ts true what you say about the lack of blue tint in them. But they have UV protection and I rarely drop my lenses so yeah :) My previous lenses had the blue tint though.
I love my Daily Total 1 lenses. However to save money my eye doctor just prescribed the brand new Bausch and Lomb Infuse contacts. I haven't tried them yet as I'm using up my Total 1 lenses. Have you heard anything regarding comfort for the Infuse lenses? My ophthalmologist said I was the first patient he has prescribed them to. I work 12-16 hour shifts and dry eyes is a major concern, so I need a moist contact
I have a question.. so my left eye has astigmatism. My eye doctor had me tried the Acuvue Oasys with Astigmatism but boy it was uncomfortable... so she ended up prescribing me a regular one. Will that not worsen my astigmatism??
Hello doc this has nothing to do with contacts but i Just wanted to ask something cause im Concerned
Soo sometimes for example when i wake up and get our of bed and take a few steps my vision goes completely White for a few secs and goes back to normal
Is that something serious? Is there something wrong with my eyes?
This morning i tried to reach something on my selve and it happened again for a few secs:/
Im nearsighted btw and have astigmatism as well
If you have a 40dkt lens like the B&L, would you recommend to wear them shorter or less often? Or can you go 16h/7days without having to fear consequences because of a lack of oygen?
Would you say it's worth it to pay that extra bit and get the MyDay or save some money and go with the Clarity1🤔
I am confused by you saying that the Precision 1 have a "low modulus". I presume you are talking about Young's Modulus. Is that right? I thought that a lower Young's Modulus meant that it was more ductile (less stiff), and yet you say that they hold their shape better. Surely if they hold their shape better, they are stiffer and therefore must have a higher Young's Modulus. What am I failing to understand here?
So funny enough, I was really confused by that before I made this video, as a product engineer gave a presentation and they had it switched up. I asked them to confirm it for me...but it turns out they had it backward the whole time😅 SO you are correct. Thanks for catching that.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you for taking the time to reply. I love your channel. Keep it up.
Dr. Allen, I would really appreciate a video on multifocal contacts, especially multifocal toric contacts Thanks!.
Love Alcon lenses but really struggled with the Total 1's for some reason. At first they'd make my eyes feel like they were swimming in water which I found disconcerting, then after a few hours wear my eyes would be screaming 'take them out!!' lol as they became so dry 👀🤣. I still regularly use their Focus Dailies and Aqua Comfort Plus...both sooo comfortable but appreciate not as healthy for your eyes due to lower dkt. Can't wait for Precision to be launched in the UK!!!
I've been wearing contact lenses for 28 years. I tried the coopervision 54% hydrogels (BC 8.4) and the daily total1 lenses (BC 8.5)... I have GPC and for whatever reason the coopervision lenses caused a mild dull pain after a couple hours.. Daily total 1 definitely won between the 2.. however I cant afford them, so I went back to air optix night and day (BC 8.6).. they are still more comfortable than the coopervision daily hydrogels. Although I know switching to dailies would be better for my GPC. not sure if it had to do with the BC because I'm 8.6 and I believe they were 8.4.. at same time why would my eye doctor give me the wrong BC???? My eye doctor of over 30 years retired and finding a new eye doctor that I trust hasn't happened yet and I'm not going back to this last one.
You have been wearing contact lens for 28 yr???? that is so long. do you have any eye disease or irritation. Can i ask how long do you normally wear them . Do you wear occasionally??? or every day??
@@s__bang1894 yes, GPC. Contacts are my primary eyewear, but I do wear my glasses as well.
I hope i can wear contacts lens so long time like you. I am wearing contacts mainly and my glassess only at home. I can't go out with glasses cuz i look so weird...
@@samanthaharr9927 how long do you normally wear your contacts? I wear early in the morning until i go to bed, take them off. Am i wearing too long?????????
@@s__bang1894 I am not an ophthalmologist. I wear morning til night when I do wear them, but I'm trying to use glasses more often. On occasion I will take a 7 day break from contacts. My issue with glasses is periphery and I don't feel safe driving and also fear that if they get knocked off my face in public, I will be rendered handicapped (its happened and its scary trying to navigate when impaired) so for me thats why I have chosen contacts as primary eyewear. Glasses are healthier and you should definitely try to wear them more than contacts.
Do you have any videos on contact lenses for very high astigmatism? I'm at least a minus 25 and don't know what my options are if there's any new better options out there, I know that soft lenses only come in a minus 20 as the strongest prescription I also was thinking of gas permeable again but I tend to lose those because my eyes water a lot and when I blink they always pop out
I have astigmatism and nearsightedness, Can I use the same prescription for any brand?
Please HELP! My eyes get really dry when I use contacts! My doctors made try two different brands. They both still make eyes dry. I have the monthly ones, but was wondering if it’s worth risking my eyes like that with contacts? I always have to put in eye drops( Artificial tears 6+ times a day) Should I just revert back to glasses?( I work with computers a lot, could that be the reason why?)
Congratulations on reaching 200,000 subscribers Doctor!!!
Is aqua colour lens from lenskart good for eyes?
Great Review.. Your FROG POSTER is fantastic! Please share where we can acquire that...
Haha thank you!!! I got that small poster off of amazon of all places. My clinic also has a giant copy but I am not sure where they purchased it.
What brands of daily lenses caters for a prescription with astigmatism?
i have failed three contact lens practice trials at the opticians (i am in London) as they don't use daily ones and i have heard they are far more comfy and easier to use for a big baby like me lol!
Thank you for your post! I'm curious. I have GPC and issues w/ preservatives. Do you feel like dailies are an option? I've always wanted to try them, but I worry about the solution that they're stored in...
Would you say it’s worth switching from percisons to totals because if the higher oxygen permability?
Also, can people switch between brands without any issue or requirement to consult our eye doctors?
i dunno if you made video about it already eye disease called toxoplasmosis you should very helpful 5 years ago they said i got toxoplasmosis i had 19 blood tests all negative results this year in may i went hospital i had pinkeye both eyes yellow discharge i had clear film over eye this time they said its uveitis where i had toxoplasmosis before on same eye
This may not be related to this video (or not.. I dunno i wear glasses ) but I've noticed that when not wearing any correction, that while still "vision impaired " while closing one eye. The other sees double (or tiktok like). Is this a problem? What's the treatment?
Hello, I started using contacts very recently and I am still not sure about everything. If it's not a problem I'd like to ask two quick questions. Are contacts supposed to be entirely imperceptible on your eyes or is it normal to have this feeling of something in your eye (like a grain of sand or an eyelash)? And if they're (contacts) starting to feel uncomfortable can I use eye drops to moisturize the eyes? Thank you a lot in advance!!
I need this answer too
@@madison4570 After a year of wearing both daily and monthly eye contacts I think I can answer both questions 😁 good contacts are supposed to be imperceptible on the eye! If at any moment during wearing them they feel uncomfortable on the eye or cause any pain, it's a sign to contact your eye doctor. And moisturising your eyes with eye drops is absolutely necessary for keeping your eyes healthy and preventing contacts from drying during the day. There are special eye drops for contacts lenses, you can find them at the pharmacy or at your doctor's 💜 hope this helps 🥰
@@lansenlan7307 I changed contacts and now they’re imperceptible, i didn’t know about the eyedrops, im gonna buy it, thank you ☺️
Hello, I have nighttime contacts so i sleep in them everyday. They feel great although some days are clearer than other days. Some days when I take my contacts out, i have blurry vision. On other days, when i take out my contacts my vision would be really clear. I don't know why thats happening. How am i suppose to sleep with contacts in? Should I sleep on my side or back?
Thank you!
even if they are night time contact, if you can take them out before bed... definitely do so. I always fall asleep without warning so I'm guilty of doing this and I have a whole extra eye condition from doing so called GPC, it didn't matter that I had night time ones. Its not going to matter how you sleep regardless. Try to take them out before bed as much as possible. And if youre going to sleep in them youre going to have to make sure you clean them really well. I soak mine in supraclens.. and if I'm out of that I soak in Clear Care.. Its a lot of maintenance to sleep in them and it hurts your eyes.
Here in Malaysia, for a year supply of Dailies 1 the cost will be USD $274.6....and we don't even need precription to buy them.
Awesome video as always ! I like the monthly b&l ultra and will have the biotrue week as the infuse is not available at my store :( how do they compare ?
I use Acuvue daily. I've tried the a Dailies. I don't know why, I personally like wearing the Acuvue a little more. I haven't tried the Precision 1.
How come I can't select BC and DIA on websites for Precision 1 and Dailies? Does it not matter if it's very close to my prescription?
I’ve been reading online and the MyDay by CooperVision has a 100dkt. Did that change from 80? Or was it always 100?
I started struggling with dry eyes when I had my first baby 6 years ago and it's never really improved since. I never had a problem before then with just the normal 2 week lenses, even wearing them long hours. My doctor recommended the Total 1 and they were comfortable, but I was still getting itchy eyes near the end of the day. I've pretty much switched to full-time glasses at this point and it's annoying (although fashionable!); I feel like I just can't see as well. If those weren't working, am I out of luck with contacts? Can those temporary hormonal shifts cause a permanent dry eye issue? And LOL, yup - totally struggled to get the Total 1's out of my eyes!
I read your testimony hoping you had a solution at the end 😐
I can’t manage to keep mine as well.
I know these aren't a daily lens but what do you think about Bausch and Lomb Ultra for dry eyes?
I’m not sure if you already tried them but I really didn’t like them. At first when inserting they are very comfortable and soft and barely notice they are there but very quickly they started to dry out in my eyes. Like an hour later. 3 hours max and I had to take them out. I tried for six months. They just didn’t work for me.
