I have MGD and chronic dry eye, my eyes are DRY!!! I’ve been on total dailies 1 for awhile, and I hate them. Even though my eye doctors/specialist rave about them. My eyes feel almost like I stripped a layer off they’re so suctioned to my eyeballs. Just tried these and I am obsessed. UV protection, higher water content, although it still matters just exactly how much water content actually leaks out as well. But these are by fav, much better!

I developed dry eye in my mid 50s. It disappeared soon after I took all grains and corn out of my diet. I did add gluten free sprouted oats and some brown rice (all food I eat is organically grown) back into my diet. The dry eye symptoms did not redevelop.

I have been in Infuse lens since July 2021, (i was on Acuvue Oasys daily) and I am the one was doing my search and elaborating it to my doctor during the routine eye exam that I read about infuse and want to try it. It's very very light to hold and over the eyes but that makes it sometimes if I have nails to get torn very easily. It's very comfortable, sometimes I forget that I am wearing a contact. but I have experienced that if I wear it for 6-8 hours it stick to my eye as you mention also and when I try to remove it, it feels very sticky and hard to get it out! but my overall experience I love it :)

Thank you so much for this comment. I have been using acuvue oasys daily Contacts’s for probably about 10 years now. I recently tried infuse and I think I want to switch but can’t decide. This comment helped immensely

I just tried this contact and they are so comfortable!! Big difference! I love them, I tent to have dry eyes but this contact helps a lot.

I've been wearing the B&L Bio True Lenses for over 5 + yrs now but I do still struggle with dry eye so I also take Cequa drops twice a day once in the morning and once at night before bed. I definitely want to try the Infuse lenses though. Thanks for the informative content.

thank you very much for mentioning that it's named differently in other countries. Love this channel and I trust all the information that you say for my dry eye symptoms!

I tried these and they weren't for me. They actually moved around too much in my eye. I currently wear Dailies Aquacomfort Plus. They are my favorite and I don't have any issues with dryness or clarity. They feel like I'm not wearing contacts at all.

Haven't heard of these lenses. I've had dry eyes for years and on Restasis for over 10 years. Recently a new eye doctor gave me Aqua Comfort Plus lenses to try, but my eyes really weren't very comfortable in them. So I tried the Dailies Total 1s even though my eye doc said they will fit my eyes a little tighter. That is true as I have to always use a rewetting drop before removal. That said, my eyes are more comfortable in the Total 1s. Must be my eyes like the the material better.

so 8 years after dailies we get a new contact lens for dry eye and people still rather wear dailies. I call that failed research. Could you please make a video about LIRIC procedure

I've often struggled with B&L lenses because they are ' too wet' lol but I'm tempted to give these a try! Never got on with Total 1' s as I often say...they're fine for a couple of hours and then just feel like grit. But love Aqua Comfort Plus and Tru Eye...although I've heard J&J have discontinued Tru Eye :(

Canada. Not sure if they don't sell these here, but B&L Biotrue is available and sounds similar.

Excellent review! Just in time for me to ask my doc about them at my appt in a few weeks. 🙂 Currently in Acuvue Moist Dailies.

I wear the daily ones four to five days before throwing them out. I experience zero discomfort during the day. They only issue I have is they they are too slippery to take out sometimes and they can stick to my eye so much while taking them out my eye hurts while removing them. Very similar to the symptoms you described with infuse...

Today I went in for my overdue eye exam and asked my eye doc for these lenses. He's super cool about letting me try different ones and isn't pushy with certain brands or lenses. I've been using Precision 1 and CooperVision MyDay interchangeably for the last few years but saw some marketing for these when they were initially launched in the US in 2020 so I've been wanting to give them a try. Eye doc was surprised to even hear me mention them - he said he actually totally forgot about them because he usually doesn't recommend B&L's legacy one day product, BioTrue because they've been around for a while and there are better options out there. He didn't even have any trial lenses because B&L hadn't sent him the drawer kit for Infuse. But he was excited that I remembered so he ordered me a trial. He said he'll be very interested to see how I do with them because he'd love to have another lens that slots below Dailies Total 1 (the ones the doc was talking about in this video and are the most expensive one day you can buy) but above cheaper dailies like Coopervision Clariti. I can't wait to try them!

Thank you for this review. Love your videos - so informative. I have been looking for good reviews of the Infuse lenses. Are you saying the Infuse lens fits tighter than the Dailies Total 1? Seems odd as the Infuse is listed as 8.6 BC, while the Total 1 is 8.5. I ask because I have relatively flat corneas due to past Lasik. Currently using Dailies Total 1 due to stubborn mixed dry eye. Second question: I have an astigmatism of -1.25 in the worse eye. Do you think a toric like Oasis 1-day would make a significant difference in vision versus the Total 1 or Infuse? Thanks!

@DoctorEyeHealth

2 жыл бұрын

All very good questions!!! Thank you. In the past, especially with harder lenses and older soft lenses, the base curve and diameter played a larger role in the fitting process. Now the manufacturers are finding new materials that tend to flex and fit more eyes, no matter what the base curve. In addition, we are now finding that the sag height of the lens (which is somewhat independent of many factors) plays a role in comfort as well. So even lenses like the Dailies Precision 1, which is an 8.3bc, fits most people too. SO it may not matter as much. If the astigmatism is worse in 1 eye. I would also say it depends on what the sphere power is like in that eye. There is a phenomena where if the sphere power is about 4x larger than the astigmatism, a spherical equivalent negates a lot of the astigmatism and you should see very well despite a sphere only lens. BUT for most people, an astigmatism lens will see a bit sharper.

You said you have been using dailies total 1 from last 6 years then how your eye became red after wearing it

BnL makes the best ones, have been using em since last 4 years!!

Doctor….how do you feel about testing osmolarity as well as for specific inflammation as a response to stressed epithelial cells? Do you diagnose and treat before recommending a lens??.

Is Day soft good just ordered from them got it for the low price can't wait for them to come?

Thanks Dr. Allen, great information. I've never heard of the Infuse Lens. I too end up having to take my contacts out and wearing my glasses earlier and earlier in the day. I wear Proclear One Day. I have an 8.7 curve and a 14.2 diameter, does that mean these lenses won't fit my eyes? Thank you for all this eye health information. My past doctors just diagnosis it as extremely dry eyes. I recently moved to FL so I'm currently looking for a new Ophthalmologist. Thanks Again!

Thanks Nancy! Most of the newer lenses are made to be more flexible and fit more eyes, so even though proclear works well for you at an 8.7 bc and 14.2 diameter...those numbers are not as important as they once were 20+ years ago. That is why manufacturers are no longer making multiple base curves in their fitting sets, they just don't need to because they flex so much. Hope FL treats you well!!!

@@Robert_W7 If you are lucky there will be more to choose from before you need them! Presently there are basically only two options for multifocal toric lenses, both are monthly lenses. B&L ultra multifocal for astigmatism and Biofinity multifocal toric but no daily alternatives at all. Im astigmatic on my right (-2,5) as well and I do notice the lack of proper correction in my dailies total1 multifocal non toric lenses.

I ordered my contacts lenses from 1-800CONTACTS and received ones that have Japanese letters on it. The words were then translated and came out to be Bausch and Lomb AQUALOX from Japan inside INFUSE boxes. Is this normal ?

Would these lenses be something to consider if I have severely dry eyes (Sjogren's Syndrome) that no medication has helped, as well as corneal scarring? I currently use and appreciate scleral lenses, but can't quite get around the fogging problem (and have tried *everything* for that).

Do your sclerals have Tangible HydraPEG on them? That is often my go-to. Otherwise fogging of sclerals can come from poor fitting lenses and bad MGD. Soft lenses when SJogrens syndrome is present is not always the best choice because soft lenses tend to dry out the eye more, but they can play a role when exposure keratitis is involved. Such as when someone doesnt close their eyes completely.

@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks so much for your reply! Since my sclerals do have the HydraPEG coating and a good fit (by a good optometrist who, unfortunately for me, has recently retired), I'll devote more time to the MGD issue, which I don't have under great control with Ocu-Soft twice daily and hot compresses sporadically (the skin around my eyes hates them). I haven't yet seen many of your videos, and have really liked the ones I've seen. I'm going to check out your dry eye videos. Thanks again!

OOOh, I have a video about multifocal contacts coming in the next few weeks. What have you tried?

I’m planning on doing a cosplay and I need purple circle lenses, do you know if Uniqso is a reliable web where I can buy them? I’m really scared to get an infection or worse

What about Smart Contact Lenes?
