As someone with dry eyes daily lenses have really helped with not encouraging more inflammation
Such an informative video, it explained all the needed details. I am able to make a right decision regarding my lenses.
Thanks a bunch for putting it together!
Somehow the woman pointing out what's wrong with things makes this video more trustworthy. Thanks
i started with monthly, took 10 minutes to put on first time.
I am a daily guy all the way! I mainly wear contacts for special occasions or when going swimming so it's rare enough that it's definitely not cost-effective to get monthly. I find wearing even daily contacts makes my eyes tired, let alone the thicker monthly ones, so I prefer to stick with glasses for regular use.
Swimming wearing contact lenses?
Really?
@@Moon-wd3wqPeople can be dumb when they’re overly enthusiastic
never wear contacts when you shower or swim, that's a sure way to get eye infection
@@Unc3rtaintyPrinciple Why’s that? What if you remove them after a 10 min shower and clean them?

I'm new at this!! I've been wearing contacts now for one week and one day(4/21/23).I'm wearing monthly multifocal contacts and I have ordered a pair of some really cool glasses.
Just bought daily’s as I’m planning a vacation that’ll involve snorkeling. Haven’t worn contacts in years as I found it a hassle to clean and maintain stuff. The daily’s should definitely get rid of most of the cons I personally had with wearing lenses, but I’m still gonna use my glasses for majority of days, and the daily’s for special occasions.
I found your video very helpful and highly informative. New subscriber from Maldives 🇲🇻
So informative! Had assured that me that using daily’s was the right choice for me :)
That's great! And if your lifestyle changes it ok to switch to monthly reusable lenses. Just have a chat to your optometrist!
Easy to understand
that's a very useful video, thank you! should have more views
Thank you for your kind words!
I do apply my eye drops in my eyes and I've been wearing my lens for almost a week.i do have the lens that comes along with the lense solution and eyedrops
Hi Dra. Pricilla, thanks for this very informative video. I bought my 1-yr contact lens last May 2022, still good to my eyes, it has 300 grade, not frequently using it, just when im only playing basketball like 3-4x a week. Do you think its okay for me?
That sounds good. Just remember to get your eyes tested regularly with your optometrist so they can monitor your script and eye health!
@@EyesExplained thanks for the reminder, actually i have astigmatism, and im using my eyeglasses with astigmatism correction in it, unlike in my contacts, it doesnt have the correction, since im only using it occasionally, and it is too much expensive for me lol
great video, would love a video on australia contacts containing PFAS/forever chemicals so I can avoid
i can only find studies done in the USA and some of them sell them unbranded to australian companies 🤮
@Eyes Explained Do you prefer glasses over CL’s ? I think another topic can be glasses vs contacts .
For myself I will pick dailies since it’s easier to take care of , less protein build up but I cannot wear it for long since it acts like a sponge and bothers my oil glands causes my eyes to be very dry .
Daily all the way! I'm a crane operator and use to have issues with my eyes getting dry. But dailies have cured that 100%.
I just want lenses for at least to go out 4 times a month. That’s it. Other than that I just want to use my glasses on a daily basis
Sounds like daily disposables will be better for you 🙂
Daily girl... I just wear CL 3x in a week. N I'm not too keen to do the maintenance so yeah.... Daily contacts for me 🥰
Monthly contact lenses. Though expensive here in dubai....First time I had this .
Dubai? Ha! Too bad!!! 😅
I have a question, can someone wear dailies (changing daily) for just specific days a week like Friday , Saturday and Sunday -just on weekends? then switch to glasses the rest of the time?
Yes
Of course. You can switch between glasses and contact lenses.
I am yearly not daily not monthly
به نظرم لنز ماهانه بهتره حداقل بخاطر صرفه اقتصادیش درضمن کسی دوست داشت میتونه به سایت بلو بای بای بره و از عینک ها و لنزهای فوق العاده ش استفاده کنه
Wearing contact lenses is very aesthetic! But I'm concerned about the harmful effects of contact lenses on my eyes! Do contact lenses cause red eyes?
As long as you are wearing the contacts that were prescribed to you, you properly wash your hands and disinfect them, and never sleep in them. You'll be just fine. Enjoy your contacts, friend.
I find dailies make my eyes so tired, whereas fortnightly lenses are more durable, and don’t make my eyes tired.
I really hate fools say daily lenses are thinner.
They are.

Oh... Let me guess who YOU are? Well, may be, arrogant and pretentious...? Huh..
