CORRECTION! I misspoke a few times and referred to the Dk (oxygen permeability) and Dk/t (oxygen transmissibility) incorrectly (I actually called it “D over K”). However, the concept of oxygen getting to the cornea is correct.
The subject of oxygen permeability and transmissibility through a contact lens to the eye can get very complex. Something I plan to address in a future video in that it really needs a full episode to itself to explain. Keep a look out for future videos about contact lenses!
QUESTION - What brand of lenses are you wearing? Have you made the switch to daily contact lenses yet? Let me know in the comment section.

So glad I found your channel! I’ve been wearing daily contact lenses for 2 years now and I have gone through two brands so far. Just had an eye exam visit and my doctor gave me a trial of the Dailies Total 1 and the 1day Clariti! I’m so glad that I learned about the dk/t values!!! Thank you for sharing! 😃
I'm really loving Acuvue Tru Eye at the moment...even more so than Oasys. I've heard people don't get on with Tru Eye so well but they give me crystal clear vision whereas the Oasys get a bit blurry. I find them better than the Total 1's as well!

I started with Acuvue TrueEye in 2012. But I stopped using them because they strained my eyes and made it dry and painful. Then I discovered Dailies Total 1 and I totally loved it! Been wearing them for years and have no issue at all. At one point, I forgotten to take it off for 3 days and when I realised, I got worried so badly but after I took it off, I don’t seemed to have any issue with it. Then this month, I tried BioTrue ONEday. It is alright but it can’t beat Dailies Total 1. The ONEday CL is a little bit dry but it is still better than Acuvue TrueEye. For cost price, ONEday is way cheaper than DailiesTotal. I hv been using ‘em for 15 days now.. I might be continuing it and alternate it with Dailies Total since it will be a great savings fr me. Thanks for the review anyway. Felt good to also know that ONEday has UV protection.
Glad I found this video because I look forward to getting daily contact lenses soon Ty.

This includes eg. ACuvue Vita, Acuvue Oasys, Biofinity, etc. And then if that doesn't work, move onto sclerals. As the whole fitting and cost for Scleral lenses can be time-consuming and its costly (1000+ in AUS). Scleral lenses are about as comfortable as dailies.
I’ve been wearing Dailies Total 1 for almost two years. Totally comfortable. I forgot to take them out for one night and I was feeling still ok when I woke up the following morning. Really love this brand! My eye doctor wears it too!
Hello doctor EYE Health, 3rd year wearing Daily Wear Contacts. They are the best. 1st time was dailies aqua comfort plus 90 pack, 2nd year Precision 1 and this year infuse. Infuse is the best.

With my insurance and reimbursement they usually cost around $400! Which is great price considering they can be upwards of 700-800$
Air Optix Aqua are the ONLY ones that don't cause intense migraines. Acuvue was the worst! I guess everyone is different

I hope Daily total one can have an astigmatism type asap, I have astigmatism and dry eye problem, and I use Acuvue Moist for astigmatism, I feel the existence of the contacts every second and dried. Until my doctor gave me Acuvue Oasis for astigmatism daily, I finally feel free, I barely feel the existence and it's comfortable for my 16 hours schedule, but still, it gets dry when wind blows(west coast weather) And my doctor told me Oasis is currently the best one for people who have dry eyes and astigmatism, there's no other brand or product can replace it for now. So hopefully Alcon can come up with an astigmatism brand for it.

I think it has to do with the massive investment to make such huge machines to make the lenses, and then the smaller percentage of people who would buy them/need them. However, I believe bausch and lomb just launched a new daily toric that comes in better clock hours.
Sadly, only the Acuvue lenses are available +7.50, which I need. I actually wear Acuvue 2, because the 8.3 base curve is more comfortable. I don't find any daily wear lenses comfortable. I'm a tough fit.

Hey Doctor i was just wondering what you recommended for someone that has a base curve of 8.7 and has mild astigmatism with no spherical power and has severe dry eye? Would it be better to go with a less water gradient contact?
I have tried both the brown and green lenses. Brown ones are very comfortable but are harder to put in. Green lenses are comfortable but not as much, although they are easier to put in/handle.
I’m not sure how you did it in the Acuvue oasis..I am begging for your help 🙏 My doc. gave me oasis in a COVID emergency in place of what I had been wearing, but I am so sensitive to them.. Compared to the Avality contacts, I can see so good I seriously cried at first as I didn’t have to wear glasses with my contacts finally..However, now they are burning my eyes and eyelids soooo bad!!!!! What a trade off to see incredibly with the same strength contact that is itchy or not see very well with the others that is not allergic. my doctor barely speaks English and I guess I am in a bind, sad in Dallas..
Could you make a video comparing the new Alcon Precision 1 with other daily contacts on the market now?
Are you opinions still the same as to the top 3 dailies? With Dailies Total 1 the first, acuvue oasys second, and BioTrue third?

Hi! What do you think of the new Alcon Precision Total1 daily contact lenses? My doctor was selected to try them out, he offered them to me, I’m pretty new to contacts, started on mydays and I absolutely loved the Precision1s even more so than total1s
I'm wearing contact lens for about a year now. I tried so many brands and so many type of lenses may it be yearly and a monthly but when I switch into daily ones. It level up my game in contacts and I don't worry too much if I clean them properly or is the soaking time for my lenses were right. In daily contact lens you are confident to put them on straight out of the package and it does not sting at all specially the acuvue lenses though it is not properly fit for me because the base curve is 8.5 and mine is 8.6 but it doesn't really matter because it super comfortable and I can function all through out the day and I can wear them for about 12-16 hours.

Hey lewis, Sorry to hear your having troubles with the lenses. Honestly, there are so many factors that could be influencing the comfort. It might be best to see your local eye care professional so they can examine you.
I've tried Dailies Total 1. They're fantastic. I can't feel them at all, even after wearing them for 14 hours. It's almost a shame to take them out and throw them away. But i've also tried other silicone lenses (specsaver easy vision aquaine). They cost half as much as the Total 1, and i can almost not tell the difference between them. Perhaps if i was really trying to feel them, maybe i could. But if i would just get the two lenses and try them on without knowing which was which, i doubt i could tell the difference. Any silicone lens will feel fantastic.

In general, contact lenses put your eyes at a greater risk of bacterial infection and risk of other complications, but contacts can be a great option for vision correction and occasionally used for medical treatment of some conditions.
In your opinion which are the best contacts for astigmatism?
@DoctorEyeHealth

Hey Laura! Excellent question! I am actually working on that video and should be coming very soon. In short, there are many good lenses for astigmatism. However, an easy answer is the Acuvue Oasys Astigmatism lenses as they come in a daily lens (which is healthiest) and a 2 week lens. They even now have the Acuvue Vita Astigmatism lens which is a monthly replacement and all have good breathability and works well for most people. I do also like the Bausch and Lomb Biotrue One day Astigmatism and the Bausch and Lomb Ultra torics. Similar to B&L is the Coopervision Biofinity Torics (both B&L and Coopervision use a "Prism ballast" stabilization for the astigmatism where the Acuvues use a "Blink stabilization" design. Some designs do work better for some people based on corneal curvature and comfort preference.

Thou I am having trouble with them because I feel like my vision isn’t as sharp and I feel like I have to really focus when I’m watching tv or using my phone. I have another appointment with my dr this Friday hopefully we can figure out what the issue is. Not sure if it was the prescription or the contacts themselves :/
Can daily lenses be taken out for a brief period, say for a shower, stored and cleaned in solution, and then be worn for the rest of the day, or is a new pair needed each and every time they're worn, even if it's only for a couple of hours?
He deserve the like just for the intro. Great video!

I am 36, tried all kinds of contacts before. Soft, hard, monthly and dailies. None of them felt comfortable as my eyes dry out in a matter of an hour. After two hours you can see veins popping up around the lens. Eyedrops help only a short time. My eye doctor says I don't even have dry eyes to begin with. What am I doing wrong or did I miss out something? Is there any suggestion? To be honest, I have no hope to find the right lenses, so i stick to glasses, which annoy me in activity like swimming...
What about cooper vision? Do you recommend this brand too?

Hi. Any idea when Alcon Precision will be available in the UK? 😁
I have been having really bad headaches this past week, especially at night and when waking up . I am worried it is my eyes. I have the blurred problem but I already got someone prescription glasses, which I always forget to wear, and also don't like, since they limit me . Would you advise to use contact lenses, since I will wear it all day?
My optometrist favors the dailies but I always opt for the monthly because of price, but I'm going to suck it up next time and get the dailies.
Hello fellow Optometrist, 1. The BioTrue features a Spherical design. 2. The Dk/t is important, but most important is the FLUX. :)

Hey Ben, Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. To reply back to your comments. 1. Yes the biotrue lens featured is a spherical design, but is manufactured with aspheric optics. 2. Absolutely agree, but I felt the concept is a bit outside of the realm of this video. Maybe I will get to that in other videos if people want to hear about it. Again, thank you for watching and would love to have more comments from you on other videos.

@@DoctorEyeHealth definitely would love to know more from your perspective on the flux... Sidenote love Bio true, only thing keeping me away from the dailies is the lack of UV
It would be awesome if you would do a best daily coloured contact lens for dry eyes. I have such a hard time looking for one that is comfortable

Doctor Eye Health Hi Doctor, I will like to know if I put my Dailies in the morning and then 4 hours later I want to take a shower, I need throw away those lenses, or can I put them in solución and after the shower put them again for the rest of the day. Thank you very much for you attention 😊

Well I cant speak for you or your eye health. Maybe best to ask your doctor what is right for you and your eyes. I know I personally just take mine out and put them in solution while I am showering or swimming.

Acuvue Moist has been the best lenses I've been able to find. I highly recommend checking them out :) They aren't quite as breathable, but the visual acuity is excellent.

True Eye Lenses have slightly less breathability and more water content. Good lens.
I have been attempting to wear a two week lease. I can go about 6 hours the first day and only 2 the second. 😬 I realized (from watching a different Doctor Eye Health video) that I wasn’t following the instructions on my contact solution. However I am going to ask for dailies at my next eye appt. I REALLY want to wear contacts. I have been going without just because the lenses bothered my eyes so much! Thanks for the info!! Are there daily lenses for astigmatism?

Thank you so much for watching! Daily lenses are usually more comfortable and then hopefully you wont need to worry about the cleaning solutions. Yes daily lenses do come in astigmatism correction, however not all powers may be available. I hope you find some great lenses! Are you just not a fan of glasses?
Are daily contact lenses suitable for people who have an astigmatism and use toric lenses.

Hmm I would say u can use ur index finger to push the lens to ur bottom part of the inner eyes and then u can sm sort of pinch it out or dun wear eyedrops for a few hrs if u do wear drops
What is the best daily lenses brand and model for Astigmatism in your experience? Thank you!
can u do an update on this maybe? the acuvue oasys dailies work really well for me, but they still make my eyes turn red so i switched to the acuvue oasys max but theyre so much firmer than the previous model and the yellow tint is actually visible while wearing them, it feels like my eye keeps getting pushed down with these i have to wait a few more months for my doctors appointment cause theyre super hard to get here in germany, but i dont think contacts should make u feel like ur eyes are getting pushed down from the inside or is that normal with contacts?
If you are spilt down the middle between Oasys Hyrdaluxe and Dailies Total and both you struggling to choose between the two. Which do you recommend?

Hey Saumya! Thanks for watching. My favorite contact lens right now for both dryness and breathability is the Daily Total 1 (I am wearing them right now (not sponsored btw I really just like them)), as mentioned in the video it has the latest tech in comfort and oxygen breathability, but it does come at a higher cost. Additionally, there are other factors that play in terms of comfort such as lens design. I do have patients that do not like the total 1 and prefer other brands such as the Bausch and Lomb BioTrue One day Lenses for dryness. In addition the fit of the lenses should be assessed by a professional so that there is little risk of long term damage to the eye. For best results I would consult your local eye doctor for a fitting to ensure the best vision and comfort. BUT be sure to ask about these lenses and see if you can get a trial of them. Let us know what you end up getting! What lenses have you tried already?

better switch to daily contact lenses.
Brand new to prescription contact lenses. Would love to see a vid as to what to expect the first week/month. With lenses in, my eyes are fabulous. But hours later, redness thru the next day. Also obvious that something had been in my eyes. Slight pain. Is this normal while getting used to lenses? Thanks!
Acuvue dailies moist or hydraluxe? Which one is better? What are the differences?
Omg i just got info about JJ one day Acuvue moist astigmatism recall. Due to particle contamination giving abrasions on the cornea.
Hi Dr. I want to opt for coloured contacted lenses but is it ideal for me since I'm short sighted. Will I still have clear vision?
I am very interested in getting contact lenses for the very first time but I'm also worried about how comfortable they can get. I am that type of person who absolutely feels everything, I mean, like if an eyelash gets loose and is close to my eyeball I get nuts and gotta find a way to fix it. What can you recommend?

For many people it is just a matter of getting used to the lenses. Most soft contact lenses, when fit correctly, are extremely comfortable and most people do not feel them until they begin to dry out. Some times just learning to touch your eyelids with a clean finger will train yourself slowly to get used to coming close to the eye.
It’s sad that the total 1 does not sell toric I can’t test these lenses 😢
How about colored daily contact lenses? which one is the best?
Hi Dr. I've been using Biofinity for a while now and i would like to know any brands that are as comfortable as the Biofinity ? I'm kind wanting to try the Dailies Total 1 but am not so sure about it.
My eyes are red from contacts what can I do to get back to white?

Oftentimes just taking a break from the contacts is a good idea. Rewetting drops can also help. If the redness does not improve or if you have any pain you should consult your local eye doc.
