I tried Aveo Joy for astigmatism my eyes DID NOT like them at all I felt like sandpaper on my eye and when I took them out it was like peeling off my eye it was so uncomfortable no matter how many rewetting drops I used. I currently use air optics hydraglyde they feel so silky on my eyes I love it
I tried bio true lenses..wasnt good for my eyes. Also I did air optix coloured lenses I couldn't see with it. But my prescription is freshlook lenses, of dia of 14.5 with base curve 8.6..so I was thinking maybe that's y I couldn't use the air optix lens
I had a patient I fit in Clariti contacts. The next year they returned they were wearing Hubble with NO Rx for it. They said their eyes hurt but they were paying for the contacts so they just kept wearing them. She grew 3mm of corneal neovascularization, 360degrees. I hadn't seen any neovascularization from contact wear in a patient for almost 10 years. It's bring back old problems by selling old technology to patients that don't know the difference and also don't have a Rx for it.
@@phillouis95701) I have fit BioTrue contacts on many patients. It has been a little hit or miss when it comes to comfort with that lens. It's a quality lens on paper with a budget friendly price but it isn't always the most comfortable for every patient. Sometimes you just need to let your doctor know about your experience and he/she can try a different daily disposable brand/material and get a significantly different outcome on comfort without even having to reach for the more expensive premium options. 2) Air Optix colors is a completely different approach to contacts compared to BioTrue. Air Optix Colors often limits vision to some degree simply because a color pattern is applied to the contact itself and keep in mind that it should be replaced generally monthly. 3) As for the dia and Base curve, those are fitting parameters. If your doctor actually takes the time to check the fit of the contacts and finds a good fit, then the sharpness of your vision shouldn't really matter if those numbers change (at least when we are talking about soft contacts). 4) Finally, remember I'm just a random voice online, always verify online advice with your personal eye doctor. People online all to often give misleading advice. Always verify important medical information with your doctor before making important medical decisions.
I'm new to contacts as of this week, and I'm soaking up all your information like a sponge. I can't thank you enough for sharing all this knowledge with us so we're able to make more informed decisions about our eye care.
I’ve been wearing Hubble for about 5 years now. Never an issue, ever. My eye doctor checked out my eye health (after telling him I wear Hubble… gave me a scathing review of them) and then was completely baffled as to my eye health. Guess I’m one of the lucky ones!
Thank you for putting accurate captions on your videos. It really does help especially deaf person like me! First time trying contact lenses right here!!!
Omg that makes me so happy!!! Yes, I try to go through them and at least correct misspelled words (although punctuation is way off. Lol it’s like 1 giant run on sentence.
Great video! So many people don’t know that when they’re buying cheaper lenses or glasses online, sometimes they’re buying inferior quality. Nice review
I've had a great experience with Hubble lenses. Rarely have they been uncomfortable or dry. I've even (I know you're not supposed to) left them on for two days and felt fine
@@DoctorEyeHealth hello doctor I need to get rid of eye floaters so can u eat carrots🥕 instead of pineapple🍍 because pine Apple is lots of sugar.. Please reply me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hubble did not verify my prescription, and they did the exact same thing for me. Comfort lasted about 4 hours max. If I left them in longer, my eyes would feel irritated AF. HUGE difference from the dk/t I'm used to with my Air Optix Aqua Night & Day. I stopped wearing Hubble! Good to know the technology behind them, thank you!
It’s amazing that other contact lens specifications “matter”. I have used Desio, Acuvue clear, Colorblends, Olens, Neo, Air Optix and they ALL feel the same :D I just need -3.25 and that’s it! Never had any infection. If anything affects my contacts experience, I feel it is behavioral or psychological. For instance if I am nervous or stressed, my vision would not be so clear. If I am relaxed, no probs using the same contacts. Definitely nothing to do with material, diameter, bc, spherical whatnot. Contacts wearer since age 13. Turning 32 in October 2021.
I was considering Hubble until this video. Even if their lenses were good, it’s sooo incredibly scummy to make it impossible to cancel your subscription online. All these socially media companies have one thing in common, they’re just trying to make a quick buck by generating hype rather than actually working on their reputation and longevity
I remember wanting to try hubble a few years ago but they did not offer an extended range or account for astigmatism at the time. Thankfully I never tried to buy them again. I now use the Coppervision biofinity toric lenses for my horrible astigmatism and they’re the BEST lenses I’ve ever tried, even if they are expensive.
I ordered hubble contacts few days ago and the experience of trying them on was pretty bad. Just had them for 4 hrs and my right eye vision started to become blurry. So I had to blink frequently and check if its in the right position. Later on I took them off and it started to irritate. My eyes went a little bit red, so I washed with plain water and after sometime put some eyedrops, which felt A LOT BETTER. I haven't worn them since. And as for subscription cancellation, I think they heeded to the comments, complaints and reviews because my subscription was canceled within a day. Maybe because I'm in UK, don't know, but calls and emails both work. I asked them to send me a confirmation of my permanent cancellation and they did.
I remember trying a free sample of these lenses, 5 minutes in my eye and they all went straight in the bin. I've seen so many reviews of these lenses saying "oh they're great but it feels like there's grit in my eye". This is not normal people! Look after your eyes!
This. It was really rough. Also cancelling the subscription took months, and I ended up having to pay 100+ euros for a horrible product that's probably bad for my eyes.
I was prescribed the Coopervison Biofinity monthly lenses from my eye doctor. With my insurance, a 9month prescription only cost about $9. I’d be willing to try other brands, but for now I love my current contacts! It’s not until the end of the month that the start feeling a little dry, but I just use a little contact rewetting drop if they get uncomfortable.
Ahh canceling is so difficult. I have like a closet full of these, I have like three subs under three emails. Canceling is an absolute nightmare and after having MGD so bad this year I cant wear these ever!
I think because Uv blocking is a newer tech and the most new lenses are all daily designs. Personally I don’t worry about the UV blocking, because you should be wearing sunglasses anyway for the eyelid skin and protection for the rest of the eye anyways.
The contacts I wore in the 90s were the most comfortable, but then there was the Big Switch to silicone hydrogel. I remember the adjustment period. I miss that nothing in your eyes feeling.
Yes very true...I tried 'the big switch' to silicon hydrogels but I've never got on with them...even Alcon Total 1' s. So I've gone back to Alcon Aqua Comfort... And still have that 'no contact in my eye' feeling 🤣👀
Cheap dailies play havoc with my eyes, I'm forever cursed with the really expensive ones but I can keep them in for eight hours before they start to feel dry and managed a 14 hour day once so you get what you pay for. :-)
Great info. I loved the analogy of the pharmacy switching out your blood pressure med for birth control. This is NOT a generic sub, this is a totally different product.
Thanks for posting...I had looked at trying the Hubble Lenses....but sounded too good to be true. I use Accuvue Moist Multifocal Dalies...expensive but well worth it. Thanks again....keep posting!
Hubble's business model is a great idea. Their mistake is picking an inferior material of methafilcon A. Most lens manufacturers are pushing for new materials (but they come with their own problems), so the older materials are being sold in generic brands as the patents expire. Hubble should have went with etafilcon A. Acuvue build their entire empire on etafilcon A and to this day, it's still one of the top selling lens material. Hubble contract their manufacturing inTaiwan, and there are several other factories there that have perfected etafilcon A production in low cost. I have been wearing contacts for 30+ years and tried various new silicone hydrogel products but always go back to Acuvue/etafilcon A. While improvements attempted, silicone hydrogel still struggles with lipid build up (jelly bumps) that can make it unbearably uncomfortable and cause everything to look hazy.
any information about laser eye therapy.. my eye sight is -3.0 and i use glasses.. is it safe and a better option to do laser therapy, and my age is 35 years.. any info about it will be appreciated.. thanks..
Love this video! Stress ages! I found disconnecting from the TV, removed a lot of my stress. Their ‘programming” was taking a toll on my health. I cancelled my cable and also Alexia! Tired of having all our conversations listed too! I use to keep the TV on for background sound, found silence is sooo much better! ‘ ‘
I knew immediately they were different and they didn't send the same script it was out of their range basically. I've worn contacts since 12 and am not always good. I have worn sickeningly too long and gotten infections, all sorts of other eye problems, swimming, too dry, poor hygiene, camping, sleeping all the time. Hubble was the most ever convenient because it gave me stock, when I always would have chunks of time I couldn't afford eye exams and expired with no back up glasses. I had lots of these even after caneling (fairly easily i guess) i rationed them out to last longer and it helped. So, being so cavalier about so much, but learning and doing my best. They were the only contacts that would hurtfully sting me to tell me to change them or just take them out because they were in. It truly was weird. Because it was longer than most would experience but when it was I knew I needed to take them off or change for new ones. Like the Chems break down and hurt not just my physiology. I became super light nor just sun sensitive, was before when I had other problems with eyes, but this was specific. Poor oxygen flow yes, but just not right. I would do again to be able to store up some, thought I know they expire. But, I did time this right before the pandemic, and other life horror events so I had emergency supply when I needed it, that I would not have been able to afford otherwise. I so appreciate your sharing information. I wondered if they were such different design by not being brand scripts, and about oversight......not just fot contacts. 😳
For me...despite the oxygen benefits of silicon hydrogels I still find Alcon Aqua Comfort Plus the most comfortable lenses...even Total 1's make my eyes feel like they are experiencing some sort of 'mechanical trauma' 🙄👀🤣
I did the one dollar trial and then forgot to cancel my subscription and now have 3 months worth of these contacts so I’m really hoping I like these. I’ve never tried contacts before and I just really want these for work mainly which is about 5 hour shifts every day
The validation thing is prone to error. i accidentally ordered a positive instead of negative and they still sent it out but were nice enough to send the correct prescription again so win win
I am becoming an optometrist in less than 4 month (if everything goes as planned 😁) and I'm so sad to say that in my country (I live in Europe), those, who order their contact lenses online, do not need a valid prescription for it, nor does the website validates if it is up to date or was prescribed by a proffessional when one places an order. It really gives a headache to the optometrist community here 😩
Hello from Minnesota! What is your opinion on 1800 contacts? I've ordered from them for 11 ish years, personally I love them but perhaps another video idea!!
I DO NOT recommend Hubble. I think had to call them to cancel. In addition to that, they’ve sent me boxes where the little contact packs only had solution in them. I lost DAYS worth of contacts. Their contact lenses weren’t necessarily comfortable on my eyes. I spent a lot of time trying to put them on to make them comfortable to wear. Avoid them like the plague. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT. Get Hubble. Thank you for your time, God bless you lol
There are a few shops in my local area that will sell lenses if you have an old box with the prescription written on, even if the actual prescription paper has expired. This is in Japan though.
Thank you for doing this. Some people try to use these when its not what is prescribed. NOT EVEN THE SAME MATERIAL which is always carefully fitted specifically for each patient! >:o
Hi Doc, I was just wondering if you could do your daily routine/day in the life for suffering with improper blinking/closure as I suffer with the exact same problems as you! I have quite a bit of dryness all in the bottom half of my eyes where I don't fully blink.
Well both are trained to test and diagnose that for you. As far as treatment options, depending on the cause of the palsy, there may be little that can be done. However, if surgery is warranted then seeing the MD would be necessary.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you! I started searching for info about my dad's homonymous hemianopsia (try saying that 3 times fast!), then found something about CN4 palsy, and discovered that probably explains why my diplopia is crooked (wearing 8 diopter prisms).
I have a question if you can please respond! I was looking at your blue light glasses videos and information. I wanted to buy some of the ones you suggested but some of them or all of them have a pro 65 warning. Due to the lenses being plastic. You think is it safe to use them on your face and closed to your eyes ? Isn’t like you going to bite or eat your glasses for it to be dangerous right ? But then idk if you can get those toxic chemicals through the air or for being on your face??? Plz let me know thank you!!
Dr.Allen When applying eye drops. If the drop rolls down your cheek, that doesn't necessarily mean it didn't go in, right? A lot of times when this happens I always believe the drop didn't go in. The drop rolling down your cheek is normal, right?
I have worn hubble lenses. They weren't bad but at $39 a month (or about $500) a year, it's actually more than the $400 a year for the cost of Coopervision MyDay (Kirkland Signature) at Costco. You are overpaying for a lens that people wore in the 1990s. I had to cancel the subscription by chatting online.
I wear what is called a spherical equivalent. Which is the sphere power plus 1/2 of my astigmatism power, and it places the focus point of the lenses right onto my retina. Vision is still good, roughly 20/20 or 20/15. I can see a little sharper when I wear my astigmatism glasses over the contacts.
@@DoctorEyeHealth So what contact lens power should you actually wear? A few diopters minus with -0,75 cyl? And are you wearing the equivalent because of MGD and intolerance? I recently switched to Ultra for Astigmatism with Hi-Care solution (previously Mydays Toric) and that is my final combo, after trying out all of daily si-hy, all monthly si-hy contacts with probably every MPS/Hydrogen Peroxide system available.
These looked really fishy to me with all their ads in IG so I didn't get them, but a lot of sites don't seem to ask for your prescription, although I live in the UK and none of the lense sites here need a prescription for lenses, but they do for glasses for some reason
I got hubble but I didn't know much about contacts and ended up using my eyeglass prescription. I have the contacts now but the whole experience of buying them and then reading their policy sketched me out. Glad I used Paypal so they can't charge me. I have an appointment to get my contact prescription and I was wondering what are good daily contacts? if you wear any what do you prefer?
That can be true, astigmatism lenses are often more expensive. Have you considered hard RGP contact lenses, they can be much cheaper in the long run and give better vision.
@@DoctorEyeHealth my eye doctor told me it's easier to get an infection with RGP contacts. I got a bad infection with weekly lenses Im not risking it again with lenses I would be wearing for six months. Daily lenses are so much safer.
@@QueenBloom Easier to get an infection with RGP lenses? That's odd as Soft lenses are more porous than RGP ones. I went from RGP to soft lenses and I have astigmatism. RGP lenses hurt so bad when you get any debris in-between them!
i use these as my dailies, tbh they are pretty good but the packaging is difficult and it took a bit of practice. I do use tweezers to get them out of the packaging. My eyes don't get dry with them. my prescription is -1.25 on the right and -0.50 on the left
Ive used them for years and have never ever had a problem with them. I sleep in mine and have even worn one pair for 6 months before throwing them out. Great deal i think. Yes u can wear them longer than one day
Hi im over 60yrs old And a former hard contact lens wearer. Haven't worn them for 25 yrs. Should abandon the idea of being fitted for them. Oh i have a -450 &-475 vision
I'm new to contacts and have been binge watching your videos! My optometrist prescribed me with the CooperVision Biofinity monthly lenses but I'm interested in daily lenses now, am I just out of luck or can I try a lens with a very similar BC/DIA to the Biofinity ones? (OD 8.7/14.5, | OS 8.6/14.0)
Glad to hear it! I believe there should be some great daily lenses that could fit you. I used to wear biofinity Back in high school and college and they do work great. But yes, daily is healthier if you can. How are you liking the contact lens world?
Dr. You always mention B&L and Alcón an Cooper, what about Jhonson & Jhonson Dailies? In muy country this aré the most comercialized contact lentes... For me they aré a step below the others, but whats your opinión, becouse you didnt mention Jhonson very much
Just discovered your Channel because of a comment you left on a doctor Mike video about a vegan heart doctor and even though this is obviously a channel about eyes... I totally thought this was going to be something about the Hubble Space Telescope. 😁😅
Usually when you call them to cancel, they will be like... no stay we will give you a promo code or extend the trial to get them to stay. WSJ and other subscriptions do that too.
I get them once in a while, I only use them for 4-6 hours, so other than some dryness I haven't had any problems, but I also don't wear them every day. I need to stabilize in a prescription before I commit to a brand, but I need to find a doctor that will take me seriously. My last doctor confused my inability to read font size 12 or smaller for problems with near vision because I can't see it from more than half an arm length away, even though my near is fine aside from a mild asigmatism that doesn't necessarily need correction, I was given reading glasses which made me have to basically put my eye next to the screen or paper to see clearly. But having mild distance glasses helps me see the text more clearly, however I still can't read road signs with text until I'm about 6 feet away, or 4 feet at night. 🤷♀️ The contacts help with the mask 😅
Dr. Allen last year March I got conjunctivitis in my left eye and I was prescribed eye drops but I ended up being allergic to preservatives in them, I was given new ones. A year later my eyelid is noticeably swollen making my eye smaller, how can I get it back to normal?
Sir can you please reply?its urgent.dr i have floaters for 2 years.iam just 17 now .so my doctor wants to dilate my eyes to check my eye nerve's.should i do it? Bcoz in your videos about eye floaters you say that eye floaters are normal.so please reply 🤗( sry for bad English)
If it were up to me, I'd wear contacts everyday. However sometimes (typically once every 3 attempts) the process of putting in contacts is randomly very painful in one eye, and I cannot wear them. I wear Air Optix plus Hydraglide. I am confused because I'm not sure why some days are fine and some days my eyes reject them
I've used hubble contacts and u can feel ur eyes get no oxygen my eyes stay dry and sometimes when I pull a lens off the contact will put a severe scratch on my eyes lasting for about 3 or 4 days even the best rewetting drops barely help ur eyelids glide over these outdated contacts. And I've had issue after issue canceling a subscription and was double charged for for subscription price and they would not reimburse me my money u have to get a whole new debit card to get them to stop charging ur card.
My cornea swelled up so bad with Hubble I thought I had Keratitis. Both aveo and hubble have poor breathability. After four hours my eyes feel extremely fatigued.

I have worn sickeningly too long and gotten infections, all sorts of other eye problems, swimming, too dry, poor hygiene, camping, sleeping all the time. Hubble was the most ever convenient because it gave me stock, when I always would have chunks of time I couldn't afford eye exams and expired with no back up glasses. I had lots of these even after caneling (fairly easily i guess) i rationed them out to last longer and it helped. So, being so cavalier about so much, but learning and doing my best. They were the only contacts that would hurtfully sting me to tell me to change them or just take them out because they were in. It truly was weird. Because it was longer than most would experience but when it was I knew I needed to take them off or change for new ones. Like the Chems break down and hurt not just my physiology. I became super light nor just sun sensitive, was before when I had other problems with eyes, but this was specific. Poor oxygen flow yes, but just not right. I would do again to be able to store up some, thought I know they expire. But, I did time this right before the pandemic, and other life horror events so I had emergency supply when I needed it, that I would not have been able to afford otherwise. I so appreciate your sharing information. I wondered if they were such different design by not being brand scripts, and about oversight......not just fot contacts. 😳
For me...despite the oxygen benefits of silicon hydrogels I still find Alcon Aqua Comfort Plus the most comfortable lenses...even Total 1's make my eyes feel like they are experiencing some sort of 'mechanical trauma' 🙄👀🤣
Is air optix hydra glide a good contact brand?
I did the one dollar trial and then forgot to cancel my subscription and now have 3 months worth of these contacts so I’m really hoping I like these. I’ve never tried contacts before and I just really want these for work mainly which is about 5 hour shifts every day
Dr Eye Health could you give info on having floaters removed please?
Look up floater vitreolysis or victrectomy for floaters. Not advised unless effecting vision
The validation thing is prone to error. i accidentally ordered a positive instead of negative and they still sent it out but were nice enough to send the correct prescription again so win win
I am becoming an optometrist in less than 4 month (if everything goes as planned 😁) and I'm so sad to say that in my country (I live in Europe), those, who order their contact lenses online, do not need a valid prescription for it, nor does the website validates if it is up to date or was prescribed by a proffessional when one places an order. It really gives a headache to the optometrist community here 😩
Hello from Minnesota! What is your opinion on 1800 contacts? I've ordered from them for 11 ish years, personally I love them but perhaps another video idea!!
I DO NOT recommend Hubble. I think had to call them to cancel. In addition to that, they’ve sent me boxes where the little contact packs only had solution in them. I lost DAYS worth of contacts. Their contact lenses weren’t necessarily comfortable on my eyes. I spent a lot of time trying to put them on to make them comfortable to wear. Avoid them like the plague. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT. Get Hubble.
Thank you for your time, God bless you lol
I have heard nothing but bad things about hubble and even have seen reviews about eye damage. So what you said just confirmed all that I heard
There are a few shops in my local area that will sell lenses if you have an old box with the prescription written on, even if the actual prescription paper has expired. This is in Japan though.
5:28 omg such a pretty colour
I had a pretty good experience with them!
Hi Doctor,
My father is 77 years old having eyes watering problem
Which eye drops he should use
And one eye is become small in size with other eye
Thank you for doing this. Some people try to use these when its not what is prescribed. NOT EVEN THE SAME MATERIAL which is always carefully fitted specifically for each patient! >:o
Hi Doc, I was just wondering if you could do your daily routine/day in the life for suffering with improper blinking/closure as I suffer with the exact same problems as you! I have quite a bit of dryness all in the bottom half of my eyes where I don't fully blink.
Oh hey... The Dr and I have the same sweater. 😂
Dr. Allen, do you have a video for trochlear nerve palsy? Should I go to an OD or MD for eval?
Well both are trained to test and diagnose that for you. As far as treatment options, depending on the cause of the palsy, there may be little that can be done. However, if surgery is warranted then seeing the MD would be necessary.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you! I started searching for info about my dad's homonymous hemianopsia (try saying that 3 times fast!), then found something about CN4 palsy, and discovered that probably explains why my diplopia is crooked (wearing 8 diopter prisms).
I ordered some colored contacts from just4kira with 43% water content. I hope that's decent. Can you review them and ttdeye?
Omg your right my friend tried the bubble contacts and she took a day of school
Yeah like they were that bad
I have a question if you can please respond! I was looking at your blue light glasses videos and information. I wanted to buy some of the ones you suggested but some of them or all of them have a pro 65 warning. Due to the lenses being plastic. You think is it safe to use them on your face and closed to your eyes ? Isn’t like you going to bite or eat your glasses for it to be dangerous right ? But then idk if you can get those toxic chemicals through the air or for being on your face??? Plz let me know thank you!!
Can you do a review on their glasses?
Almost bought me some Hubble contacts lol. Thanks for the info!
Glad I could help!
Dr.Allen When applying eye drops. If the drop rolls down your cheek, that doesn't necessarily mean it didn't go in, right? A lot of times when this happens I always believe the drop didn't go in. The drop rolling down your cheek is normal, right?
So just to be clear, what is the best daily contacts and most affordable pricing?
Can you please make a video about how to perform CL evaluation? I am a student and would like to build my skills. Thanks
I have worn hubble lenses. They weren't bad but at $39 a month (or about $500) a year, it's actually more than the $400 a year for the cost of Coopervision MyDay (Kirkland Signature) at Costco. You are overpaying for a lens that people wore in the 1990s. I had to cancel the subscription by chatting online.
Hi! Regards from Lima Perú 🇵🇪 Does that mean that at that time (ancient) contact lenses were not useful or were not recommended?
How do the Bausch and Lomb infuse contacts Compare to the dailies total one or Percision one
My mom tried contacts in the 80s she said they were painful and that it felt like there was plastic on her eyeball
I have astigmatism.my right eye cyl is -4.5 and left eye cyl is -1 will contact lenses help me to improve my vision
hi doc!
so you dont wear toric lenses, you just use glasses on top for that?
I wear what is called a spherical equivalent. Which is the sphere power plus 1/2 of my astigmatism power, and it places the focus point of the lenses right onto my retina. Vision is still good, roughly 20/20 or 20/15. I can see a little sharper when I wear my astigmatism glasses over the contacts.
@@DoctorEyeHealth So what contact lens power should you actually wear? A few diopters minus with -0,75 cyl? And are you wearing the equivalent because of MGD and intolerance? I recently switched to Ultra for Astigmatism with Hi-Care solution (previously Mydays Toric) and that is my final combo, after trying out all of daily si-hy, all monthly si-hy contacts with probably every MPS/Hydrogen Peroxide system available.
These looked really fishy to me with all their ads in IG so I didn't get them, but a lot of sites don't seem to ask for your prescription, although I live in the UK and none of the lense sites here need a prescription for lenses, but they do for glasses for some reason
I got hubble but I didn't know much about contacts and ended up using my eyeglass prescription.
I have the contacts now but the whole experience of buying them and then reading their policy sketched me out. Glad I used Paypal so they can't charge me. I have an appointment to get my contact prescription and I was wondering what are good daily contacts? if you wear any what do you prefer?
Contacts are so expensive so this has always been tempting but they don't make anything for stronger astigmatism.
That can be true, astigmatism lenses are often more expensive. Have you considered hard RGP contact lenses, they can be much cheaper in the long run and give better vision.
@@DoctorEyeHealth my eye doctor told me it's easier to get an infection with RGP contacts. I got a bad infection with weekly lenses Im not risking it again with lenses I would be wearing for six months. Daily lenses are so much safer.
@@QueenBloom Easier to get an infection with RGP lenses? That's odd as Soft lenses are more porous than RGP ones. I went from RGP to soft lenses and I have astigmatism. RGP lenses hurt so bad when you get any debris in-between them!
Hello can you give an updated review on Hubble new Hydro lenses
Hey doc u didn't update on to which new clinic did u start working?
i love your channel! so interesting and informative
i use these as my dailies, tbh they are pretty good but the packaging is difficult and it took a bit of practice. I do use tweezers to get them out of the packaging. My eyes don't get dry with them. my prescription is -1.25 on the right and -0.50 on the left
Ive used them for years and have never ever had a problem with them. I sleep in mine and have even worn one pair for 6 months before throwing them out. Great deal i think. Yes u can wear them longer than one day
Hi im over 60yrs old
And a former hard contact lens wearer. Haven't worn them for 25 yrs. Should abandon the idea of being fitted for them.
Oh i have a -450 &-475 vision
I'm new to contacts and have been binge watching your videos! My optometrist prescribed me with the CooperVision Biofinity monthly lenses but I'm interested in daily lenses now, am I just out of luck or can I try a lens with a very similar BC/DIA to the Biofinity ones? (OD 8.7/14.5, | OS 8.6/14.0)
Glad to hear it! I believe there should be some great daily lenses that could fit you. I used to wear biofinity Back in high school and college and they do work great. But yes, daily is healthier if you can. How are you liking the contact lens world?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Loving it so far! All your videos have been so helpful!
Contact reviews!! 😍
I emailed them and told them I was profoundly deaf and so couldn't call them. What a scam and I'm annoyed I ended up spending so much on them!
Can you review Daysoft contacts??
Dr. You always mention B&L and Alcón an Cooper, what about Jhonson & Jhonson Dailies? In muy country this aré the most comercialized contact lentes... For me they aré a step below the others, but whats your opinión, becouse you didnt mention Jhonson very much
Are these suitable for people with astigmatism?
Just discovered your Channel because of a comment you left on a doctor Mike video about a vegan heart doctor and even though this is obviously a channel about eyes... I totally thought this was going to be something about the Hubble Space Telescope. 😁😅
Usually when you call them to cancel, they will be like... no stay we will give you a promo code or extend the trial to get them to stay. WSJ and other subscriptions do that too.
Can You Please, Do A Product Review Of "The Magic Touch Eye Drop Applicator" Thanks!! 👀
From: Dr. Julia Schulman Product!! 👀
Sir I want to ask that how does a eye elongated and how does eyes become too convex please tell me please tell how it elongated
I just went from a dark room and turned on my bathroom lights and saw a bunch of purple dots in my vision for a few seconds. Is this normal ?
I think so, I see the same thing when I go from dim light or darkness to bright light
I'm here bcos I'm having pain on my eyes, slight headache/migraine on my forehead. No more Hubble.
Very helpful video thank you so much
can you try solotica hidrocor colored contacts? I heard they’re fda approved but they cost quite a lot & I wanna be sure they’re safe for me
I get them once in a while, I only use them for 4-6 hours, so other than some dryness I haven't had any problems, but I also don't wear them every day. I need to stabilize in a prescription before I commit to a brand, but I need to find a doctor that will take me seriously. My last doctor confused my inability to read font size 12 or smaller for problems with near vision because I can't see it from more than half an arm length away, even though my near is fine aside from a mild asigmatism that doesn't necessarily need correction, I was given reading glasses which made me have to basically put my eye next to the screen or paper to see clearly. But having mild distance glasses helps me see the text more clearly, however I still can't read road signs with text until I'm about 6 feet away, or 4 feet at night. 🤷♀️ The contacts help with the mask 😅
I had same experience with Hubble. I use them for 4-6 hour periods and experience very little discomfort. Less than some other brands even.
I tried Hubble for a few months. I enjoyed how clear my sight was but I eyes were killing me after a few hours
I have worn Hubble contacts for over a year and never had issues. I tried acuvue or however you spell it and my eyes did not accept them at all.
Dr. Allen last year March I got conjunctivitis in my left eye and I was prescribed eye drops but I ended up being allergic to preservatives in them, I was given new ones. A year later my eyelid is noticeably swollen making my eye smaller, how can I get it back to normal?
Sir can you please reply?its urgent.dr i have floaters for 2 years.iam just 17 now .so my doctor wants to dilate my eyes to check my eye nerve's.should i do it? Bcoz in your videos about eye floaters you say that eye floaters are normal.so please reply 🤗( sry for bad English)
Yes! Having the eyes dilated and examined is a good idea.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thank you doctor.❤️your vdos
If it were up to me, I'd wear contacts everyday. However sometimes (typically once every 3 attempts) the process of putting in contacts is randomly very painful in one eye, and I cannot wear them. I wear Air Optix plus Hydraglide. I am confused because I'm not sure why some days are fine and some days my eyes reject them
Hubble did not even have a BC or Diameter selection how is this possible?
I've used hubble contacts and u can feel ur eyes get no oxygen my eyes stay dry and sometimes when I pull a lens off the contact will put a severe scratch on my eyes lasting for about 3 or 4 days even the best rewetting drops barely help ur eyelids glide over these outdated contacts. And I've had issue after issue canceling a subscription and was double charged for for subscription price and they would not reimburse me my money u have to get a whole new debit card to get them to stop charging ur card.
I'm sorry you had to deal with all of that, Josh. Thank you for sharing your experience here with us.
My cornea swelled up so bad with Hubble I thought I had Keratitis. Both aveo and hubble have poor breathability. After four hours my eyes feel extremely fatigued.
Hope everything is OK now.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thank you, I have just been sticking to glasses.
