I can’t really explain how to put them in. It was super easy for me to start so I just do what I do but taking them out the way I explain it is to use your non dominant hand to life your upper eyelid. Once it’s open wide enough use your dominant hand index finger and thumb and literally pinch them out of your eye. You basically take your index finger and start to drag the contact down and pinch it with your thumb.

Im an Oasys 1 Day wearer myself and completely love them.

I was never able to wear contact lenses before due to astigmatism and poor lense stabilisation. Until my doctor prescribed me te Alcon precision 1 and I loved it. I then asked her a monthly alternative and she prescribed the total 30 astigmatism by Alcon and I must admit I like them even more than the precision 1. For years I wasn’t able to wear contact lenses and I tried a lot of brands, now I always wear them when I go out, can’t even feel them after a day of work .

I just recently tried the Dalies Total 1 for astigmatism, and while comfortable, they kept moving every once and awhile when blinking. They just weren't stable in my eye. Tried out the Precision 1's which are using the same technology and they were perfect. Thought it was kind of weird that they use the same astigmatism tech and are mostly the same in other areas, yet the Total 1's were a no go for me.

Sadly they are unstable on my eyes and move around when I blink causing blurriness. It has been so disappointing because they are so comfortable. Interesting Precision 1's solved your unstable problem, but instability was the problem for me when I tried them.

I couldn't get the rest of it off and I had to go to the eye doctor. Since then I've tried the rest of the brands, but I'm scared to go back to anything Alcon. Even if they're the winners..

Hi! Do you know the best colored TORIC lenses for astigmatism and dry eyes?

Hey Doctor Allen, please help! I'm just 17 and I've started experiencing Floaters from around a month, but not just that, Then I started noticing Blue Field Entoptic phenomenon. Though It was ok till that, but I then suddenly started seeing rainbow halos, startburts and glares around lights. So I consulted a local doctor and he said the rainbow halos are because of Eye-conjuctivitis and prescribed me anti-bacterial eye ointment and drops for 15 days... Nothing happened So I then went to the best eye-doctor in my city and he said your eyes are totally Normal, those Colourful halos and BFEP are just because you have 'Medical Student Syndrome' and he prescribed me Osmodrops(for Dry eyes) and Lycopene, Multivitamins & Multiminerals Tablets for 30 days. Please doctor Allen, I request you to advice me if there could be anything serious in my eyes due to these symptoms or they can be noticed with healthy eyes even.

Hey thanks for reaching out. First of all I am happy that you did the right thing and consulted a local doctor, 2 doctors in fact. "medical student syndrome" is a funny term but it makes sense when someone dives deep into trying to understand something they are experiencing and maybe stressing about it. Unfortunately, without an examination I am not sure what more help I can offer other than what is already in my videos about floaters, migraine aura, BFEP and Visual Snow Syndrome. I think it is always a good idea to get regular sleep, drink and eat well and try to engage is stress relieving activities, otherwise you may want to keep following up with a local eye doctor you trust. Hope this helps.

So I just memorized everything and talked to both the eye-doctors, my local doc said I've eye conjunctivitis and the eminent one said I've Medical Student Syndrome. May be because he was fascinated by the medical terminology I was consistently using throughout the consversation with him. So as help, I just want to know if halos around lights can be noticed without any eye-defect.Because the eye-doctors I consulted just told me after eye-examination that my eyes are normal.There's no defect or irregularity. But they didn't answer why I'm seeing halos around lights.

E Rodriguez 8 minutes ago I am a veteran contact Lense wearer. I started wearing gas perm contacts at age twelve. Never wore glasses until I turned close to 50 when I started wearing eyeglasses with progressive lenses. I always hated glasses and every time I went to have my eyes checked I would ask if they had something new for me. I have astigmatism and myopia. I just went for a new pair of prescription glasses and was discussing contact lenses with my Dr. She actually said YES!!!, I can wear the "Ultra Toric multifocal lenses".... (What do you think of these?) Needless to say, I was static about it. I went for my first fitting yesterday and was able to insert them in right away...but when it came to taking them off, I could not :(... I tried over 15 minutes and I was very frustrated and disappointed. The Dr. had to take them out herself. I am going back tomorrow for another try, I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!! I like your method of taking them of and will try it tomorrow. Their method was just placing my finger on the Lense and sliding it off my eye...At the end of the session my eye was stinging and all red and could not do it.... Wish me luck!!!! :)

Interesting to put Precision as best for beginners. I would argue Infuse would be a little better due to lower modulus + being most complete overall. But $ may scare off new wearers haha

I've been using Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism for the past few years now. Within the last ~6 months my eyes have not been able to tolerate them at all. If I wear them for roughly 5-8 hours my eyes start to get irritated and turn red so I'll take them out. Then my eyes continue to stay red for up to 3 days after taking the contacts out. Do you have any recommendation for what I should try to do to help the situation? I've been using Opti-Free solution everyday and never sleep in the contacts. My eye doctor is recommending some Ultra Toric Lenses from Bausch and Lamb I believe but I am still waiting on them to be delivered to the optometrist before I try them.

I am personally allergic to mold (wet basements) and it bothers my eyes too. the changing of climates can cause issues with the eyes and the ocular surface, so it is not too surprising if someone has problems with dry eyes. Dry eye and allergic conjunctivitis is challenging, your doctor will usually try to address both at the same time by controlling inflammation and trying to eliminate whatever is causing the allergy. Due to the changes in humidity, your doctor may also talk to you about using humidifiers, moisture goggles, avoiding fans etc. Has your doctor started you on any treatment?

Same technology as Dailies Total 1 and I completely agree. They are more difficult for me to remove and I've been wearing contacts for about 28 years now. You just have to be sure your fingers are bone dry. I've left my eye a bit red multiple times trying to remove them.

Biofinity Toric XR has been the best, for me, so far for my astigmatism. I started with Frequency 55 Toric XR and their stability was terrible. Then went with Pro Clear Toric XR. Much better stability, but they can have horrible ghosting when driving at night. Now that I'm 40 years old, my eye doctor prescribed me with Biofinity Multifocal lenses that also correct astigmatism in my range. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they do.

I am trialing the Precision1 right now, and they seem to work perfectly well, but out of the 7 days I have had, they felt dry for two of them. I am ordering them for a month to better understand how they work before getting them for a year. Should I ask my eye doctor for Dailies Total 1 or any other lenses if I am feeling dry with the Precision1 on some days? I don't have dry eyes, but I feel dry occasionally while wearing contact lenses. Also, I have been wearing contact lenses for 10+ years (mostly monthly and biweekly before), and I wonder why people find these hard to take off, as I haven't had any issues with that.

Hey thanks! Yes, I suppose we do use anesthetic when we do fittings for specialty lenses so it could be down to help someone get through the motions. But ultimately it would be something you would need to discuss with your local doctor. It would be a little unorthodox.

Does it make a difference if the BC of certain lenses for astigmatism is 8.6 or 8.7? Just curious because the Total1 is 8.6 but most I've seen are 8.7 (so is my prescription)...

Total 30 is not as stable as Biofinity Toric in my testing. Nothing has beaten Biofinity’s clarity so far.

Thank you for your awesome informational videos! Sorry this might be a little long and I'm going to age myself here, but I wore yearly contacts 20+ years ago. Best decision I ever made was getting Lasik when i was 19. Now that get I'm getting older (and hopefully a little wiser) 😆, the past few months I've noticed my right eye getting blurry and sure enough, I have a slight astigmatism and nearsightedness. Decided to get contacts again and Holy moly things have changed so much since I've worn them! Honestly didn't even know I had astigmatism either. I've been trying a few different brands for 2 months now, (Acuvue Oaysis, Alcon Air Optix Hydraglyde, and Cooper Vision Biofinity) After trying so many, my Dr and I decided that the Cooper Vision was the best for me. I still have slight issues some days when my allergies are high though. Do you have any suggestions how to help with that? Or others you might would recommend me trying? Thank you again!

What about monthly astigmatism lenses? I use Biofinity Toric and I like them and tolerate them (although stability is always tricky for astigmatism); are the Alcon Total 30 Astigmatism more stable than the Biofinity? Which one of them wins? Or does none of them win?

That is not a bad way to think about it. Daily total 1 technically does release a lipid stablizer throughout the day too - it is also designed with the water gradient material.

Infuse is wonderful. My award would be Oasys 1 Day only for comfort for 1 Day. I completely agree with you on the Total 30. Absolutely cannot even feel this one on my eyes.

Can you speak to using multifocals vs. going monovision in soft contact lenses?

Bausch and Lomb Infuse- they dont ship in Canada! 😭😭😭

Unfortunately, the Ultra Ones/Infuse are hardly to get, the company has supply chain issues. 😕

Hi doc, theres a new Cooper Vision daily lens that i find no professional review about it, it is the Live daily lens. Its very very very affordable where im from its 8 usd for 30pcs. Its very comfortable imo but can you do a review about it? Would love to hear opinion from a professional. Thank you

why the power for contact lens different as compare to glass?

Dr. Allen, could you please do a review for hybrid contact lenses like synergeyes?

This is a old video so I don't think I'll get a reply but where I would ask. So, I am new to contacts. I am using Purevision 2 monthly, I wear them about 12-13 hours straight, sometimes 15 hours. It doesn't dry out or cause an itch but is it safe for a prolonged period?

How much experience do you have with scleral lenses? I’ve tried them and could not tolerate them. Eyes were very uncomfortable, and no eyeglasses could correct my vision for about 24 hours after removing the scleral lenses. Any thoughts?

I would love to try the Theravision one since I have serious issues with pollen allergies and my eye are the ones that react the strongest to allergens

I know! It will be cool to try it out. Hopefully it is a good design and is comfortable.

I have been told by several eye doctors that there are not color contact lenses for astigmatism. My last eye exam was last year. I was told again that they were discontinued several years ago. Is it really true that they are available now? I have seen some options online, but I don't know if they are safe as doctors insist that they are not making them. Is any of you actually wearing color contact lenses for astigmatism?

Yes, they do exist but they are made with such an old plastic technology that no doctor recommends them. They are rarely prescribed anymore. Plus the color of those lenses are very basic and not as good looking as the newer designs. Technically, most people with astigmatism can wear a colored contact lens with a spherical equivalent power and do pretty well.

No..I missed 2023 too. I am waiting for a new lens to drop on the market that I know is about to come out. (tech in contact lenses is much slower than other industries as it takes about a decade to develop a new product and get it to market)

How about a color contact lens for astigmatism? I have a hard time finding much on that and the vision center at Walmart doesn’t have any.

Did you find anything ? It sucks you really don’t have options for colored contacts that work with astigmatism. My doctor straight up said no it’s not possible for my prescription lol

Been wearing 9.0bc and tried 8.6bc today, took it out immediately. It removed the problem of double shadow that 9.0 brought me, but I hate how it squeezes my eyes. A few weeks ago my glass store told me to buy 8.5 without even measuring my eyes, well, he lost a highly probably long term buyer.

I have had the precision one for 3 months, and now i am about to try the total 1, however i can't wait to see toric trans. Lenses

Do contacts not come in -0.5 cylinder?

Unfortunately, no. Most doctors will just order a spherical equivalent when the cylinder is that low.

love this video, I will defiantly be trying the coloured Alcon lenses!! do you recommend desio lenses? I'm not too sure if they are approved by optometrists for 3 monthly use.

I love the channel but I don't understand the bios against Acuvue. I feel that you really dislike them. I have miopía and astigmatism. Try many brands. These are the only ones that work for me. I have the ones to use for 15 days and they are excellent. Sometimes they even last over a month. I change them because I am unable to remember when was the last time I change them. Not all contact lenses are for everyone

i had a trial set of the alcon total 1 and they are AMAZING!! Unfortunately, they are too expensive for my budget. Are there any you'd say are comparable in comfort, but also cheaper?

yeah,finally 2022 👍👍great video Dr

Hello Dr. Question - What is your opinion of color lenses.

I just stumbled upon your videos and finding such great info. I recently bought (toric) colored lenses from Italy. While beautiful they are thicker than my regular monthlies and quite drying. My understanding is that Air Optic no longer manufactures colored lenses. Is that correct? Thank you for all the great info you provide.

Hey doc I just got prescribed the Alcon air optix hydraglyde. What do you think of them? ❤️

I swore by acuvue oasys but made the switch for my bausch and lomb ultras. I will never go back.

Great video. Is there an updated version of this? I have hyperopia and slight astigmatism and I was given a trial pair of biofinity lenses and they hurt my eyes.

Amazing video I have been using bausch and lomb Softlens since November. My Cylindrical power in right eye is -3. Is there a way I can compensate for the CYL power?

Can i use Yearly exposelable lenses

I still use Biofinity by Coopervision. The lenses are great for my astigmatism in my right eye. Do you still recommend Coopervision products??

I can’t decide between the vita and the total 30. They are both super comfortable. Is one better for cleaning and vision.

@DoctorEyeHealth

7 ай бұрын

I think they are pretty comparable. I think the Total 30 would be my go to if I had to pick, just because they have some mild blue light blocking.

@marktepper3440

@@DoctorEyeHealth I certainly do like the blue light aspect. The Vita’s are easier to take in and out of your eyes and hence just easier to handle. At the end of the month I’m back to the total 30. I will be focused on which one I perceive to have better vision. Headlight glare is worst on the total 30. That I’m convinced of. I also believe the total 30’s will resist lipids and other protein buildups on the lenses better. It’s hard to decide here but it’s good problem to have.

Q: Why is close enough good enough for astigmatism? When it is wrong I see double or it's like looking through plastic wrap - but I get told I can drive with them..... Surely, manufacturers can make a database of scripts and then provide accurate astigmatism scripts on demand eg when they have enough to make a batch? Am I really that unique?

Can you make a 2023 version ?

Hoping to! But 2024 probably

The contacts which are blocking out hight energy light. Is it possible that with them blocking out what is essentially blue light. While it will help you go to sleep at night, it will somewhat stop you from waking up in the morning properly, as you won't be getting the blue light that you need

What happens or what should I feel, if I use a monthly a little longer than I should? Not that I’m planning to, but I was just curious why is it a monthly use only.

Are those infuse lenses easy to put in and get out of the eye? Some of those premium lens are very difficult to remove.

I have high astigmatism, cyl 3.50 and i can never find coloured astigmatism lenses.. is there any brand that offer colours for astigmatism?
