Biofinity Toric has been my go to for the past few years but recently I’m having trouble with my right eye.. drying out, hard to focus and sometimes I get a weird halo at the top of my eyes. I’m going back to the eye doc tomorrow to get rechecked. I’m not sure if it’s just not fitting to my eyeball correctly or if the prescription is somehow wrong. Just got my eyes checked like 2 weeks ago so this is a bit odd to me right now.
For daily wear, I use Acuvue Oasys 1 Day for Astigmatism. They are so comfortable that I sometimes forget that they're in, even after a long day at work. I rarely need to use eye drops with these lenses. I also have the monthly Multifocal Ultra for Astigmatism when I know that I'll be doing a lot of close up work. They're a little pricey but are worth not having to carry around a pair of reading glasses.
I tried the Dailies total 1 for astigmatism and they sucked for me… I had high hopes because of the Dailies total 1 without astigmatism contact lens. I loved them, but I need my astigmatism corrected so I gotta wear torics now so I’m hoping the switch to Acuvue Oasys 1-day lens goes well. I need something to match or exceed the comfortable of the non-astigmatism Dailies total 1 lens
Been using Accuvue for more than 10 years…just switched to Biofiniy. Two contacts have had little chunks come off so they’ve had to be thrown away. The left contact never seems to sit correctly. Definitely going back to The Oasis.
so far the best toric contacts is biofinity toric monthly for me ,so comfortable i can wear for the whole day no dry eyes. the only issue i have is sometimes either right or left breaks or cracks within a month so i have to throw away both and replace with new set
I been wearing Air Optix for astigmatism, but have experienced dryness and sometimes not comfortable. So I ask my doctor to let me try new brands since I went for my annual check up. He gave me Ultra and Oasys biweekly. Hopefully I find Ultra Bausch well since they look more budget friendly for a student . Thanks for your video.
Which ended up working best? I have issues with dryness and am trying to find the right lens too. Oasys was decent, Bioinfinity was awful. Daily ones were too flimsy and my dry eyes would "crinkle" them when I blink.
I know that Oasys are more expensive but depending of your eyes you can use them for more than 2 weeks I change mine in general every 2 months... Just when the eye is tired. If you use contacts just make sure you feel confortable with them better to pay a bit more than to pay less for something that does not really work for you
I have been wearing Biofinity Toric XR for some time. Excellent contacts. However, CooperVision does have other models with high cylinder powers. There are other companies that do make my script but for now I will stay with Biofinity Toric XR because the lens provides great vision and does not shift. I actually see better with contact lens vs glasses. After few hours wearing glasses I start getting a headache.
Hello, Robert! Are the Toric XR comfortable and moist throughout the day? Or they get dry? I have for now Biofinity Toric and they get dry over few hours and irritates my eyes, they become red sometimes. And how XR are working in low light conditions? Do you lose sharpness and detail in lowlight?
@@g.cold94 hi! See about the new Bauch & Lomb new custom Toric lens. I was just at the eye doctor and stayed with CooperVison but B & L I can now wear. Check with your eye doctor.
Thank you for this awesome video. I've been wearing contacts for Astigmatism for years, and even tho my number is small and stable, I have very sensitive eyes. I can only use the daily disposable lens, and have been using Acuvue Oasys, but I still have to limit their use to 10 hours max, or I end-up having dry and itchy eyes. I might try Bauch+Lamb next tho.
first I tried the air optix but they suck to my eyes so bad I could hardly remove them. Now I have the acuvue oasys 14 day lenses and I am happy with them.
I tried Biotrue ONEday lenses, Acuvue oasys (1-Day), and Acuvue Moist(1-Day) and I like the Biotrue the most actually. It was the least disorientating one in terms of vision. I didn't realize I had to use the alignment markers when I put in the contact lenses. Sometimes my vision would be blurry but I tried putting it on based on the alignment markers and my vision isn't blurry anymore lol I wonder why my eye dr didn't tell me about that when he gave me the trials XD
Thank you for your feedback! Bang for buck, Biotrue is a fantastic daily toric option. Putting the lens in with the alignment markers facing down always helps fix the problem of waiting to let the lens settle for clear vision.
I had been to four different optometrists who would get frustrated with me for choosing to only correct my near sightedness and opt out of the sigmatism correction. I always told all of them why I didn't like toric lenses, they make me dizzy and the world appear warped. Only ONE actually took the time to explain the markers! Obviously my doctor I saw regularly now. I have no problem with toric lenses! I just need to wear them correctly. Lol.
@@jessicahernandezs.5469 Acuvue has the markers you can se it in the borders when you are putting them. Try to search some videos to see how to use them. I have been using contacts for over 20 years and never need them. But each person is different....
Great video! I've had a trial for the Acuvue Oasys Astig. 2-week and they were not working for me. They were quite uncomfortable and blurry. I heard it's an older lens so perhaps that's why it may not suit everyone. Right now, I'm trying the Air Optix for Astig. and may get a trial for the B&L Ultra Astig. The Bioinfinity Toric doesn't come in -2.75, so if all of the other options, unfortunately, don't suit me, I'll look into the XR version!
I’ve never used these types of contacts. I’ve just been using regular contacts without my cyl correction. Makes me think I’m missing out on quality of sight. Gonna look for some toric lenses today
Yes you are… I used regular contacts lens for the longest. my numbers are low and I just switched to lens with astigmatism and yes I notice the difference. My problem now is finding a lens that is as comfortable for me as the Dailies total 1 non-astigmatism lens. I’m kinda upset that my Optometrist didn’t correct my astigmatism. My blurry vision is mostly my astigmatism I was told by my most recent optometrist
My Bio Finity Toric lenses are great. The only thing I noticed is a hazy / halo glare at times. I even ensure I clean them off thoroughly. I notice it is at night, and when on the computer. The prescription is right I wonder if it is the rotation of the lenses. Im only 2 months into this contact world as I’ve worn glasses my whole life. I wander what it is going on.
Hi, I tried the Bausch & Lomb contacts for astigmatism and while they are perfect during the day, they are horribly blurry at nights, especially around lights. What other brand do you recommend that would be perfect for astigmatism during the day and night?
I have been using clariti. However I just had trials of biotrue and MyDay torics. Both seem a little better than clariti(for me) but Im waffling between those two choices - both seem very good
You have Great white teeth and are very handsome. I do learn something in every video you make. I am so happy that I can now wear the Bio True one day for assignation that comes in a daily with - 2.25 cylinder. Most places still think they do not exist. But they are great.
Hi, I'm having a hard time finding a contact for astigmatism that has some of the new technology and not a deep blue tint. I tried the Acuvue Oasys and I'm just not a fan of that blue ring that is visible on my eye. Is there anything comparable that doesn't have as dark of tint or is without? I do like the idea of a daily. I am a longtime b&l soflens wearer and ready to move on to something healthier for my eyes. Thanks in advance!
I only have a prescription for astigmatism, not for any actual vision correction. I’m looking for contacts to wear on my runs. Can I get contacts for only astigmatism?
Hey can you do an update to this video? My optometrist did a trial with fresh day and precision 1 daily disposable toric contacts and I was not super impressed with either. The precision 1 lenses were a little better, but wondering what other options are out there besides those two, the biofinity, and the oasis?? Thanks!
The only new daily toric addition since this video is dailies total one for astigmatism. They’re a premium option and worth discussing with your optometrist.
I was hoping to see something other than the 1-day acuvue oasys for astigmatism. It keeps rotating and blurs my vision. Makes me want to keep my eyes closed and sleep.
Have you tried MyDay Toric or Clariti Toric? Both daily silicone hydrogels for astigmatism that are great lenses as well. If you’re open to a daily hydrogel, Biotrue ONEday for Astigmatism is a great bang for buck.
Which contacts are better oasis hydraclear 2 weeks for astigmatism or oasis hyra luxe one day for astigmatism ? I have both but which ones are better ? Thank you
Hello, looking for some advice as a new contact wearer. I’m wearing aquatechplus premium toric aka biofinity toric lenses and I’m still having issues seeing at night and in low light everything gets real soft and fuzzy. Comparing the contact lens prescription to my glasses prescription the axis for My astigmatism is - .75 at 175 on my glasses compared to - .75 at 170 on the contact for my right eye. And my left eye is -1.25 at 05 for my glasses and -1.25 at 180 on the contacts. My prescription was finalized just yesterday I brought the fuzziness up to my optometrist and she said it was normal because I have toric lenses. The problem is that my vision doesn’t resolve and get better in low light or dark situations. And it’s honestly harder to see with them in than if I just take them out. Is there a contact that could correct on those axis and at those powers? If not then I don’t think contacts are for me
I've been wearing Acuvue Oasys 14 day since they came out. I wear one pair, 24/7 for 2-3 months straight, never taking them out. Super comfy and zero eye health issues. Guess I'm lucky. Just wish I could find a good optometrist so I could get a better prescription and see clearer for a greater distance.
Is not good to use it 24/7 also your eyes needs to relax at least one day per week or 2 weeks. Had you try to remove them to sleep and give your eyes a break for a day? maybe this can also help. I also use mine for almost 2 months. Once the eyes start to feel tired all day with them I know is time to change them
@@karopi That's what a couple eye doc's had said, but four different doc's have failed to find any problems. But I agree, the longer they stay in, after a few weeks, I can start to notice they feel 'dirty', so I clean them. I believe part of it is some peoples eyes are more 'dirty' then others. Mine are quite 'clean' by nature. But, I do think I'm going to start changing them out once a month at least. I wear my glasses once in a blue moon, but always hate the way they make things look curved at the outside of my field of view. Thanks for the reply! Best wishes! :)
@@wingnutbert9685 holy shit that's fucking stupid. Your eyes might tolerate it for a few years, but eventually one day it will leave permanent damages to your cornea.
@@candyamal6888 I am glad you found a contact good for you Air Optixs has always been good to me. I tried Acuvive my eyes could not take them. I have tired other brands, but always end Air Optixs. That is why it is always important to keep trying different brands everyones eyes are different when it comes to finding the right contact brand for you.
Hi, I am Darshan and I live in india. My power is L = -12 spl 1.5cyl 160axis R= -14 spl 1 cyl 10 axis Can I get the toric contact lens for this power, if yes will I get it in India - Karnataka
I believe those lenses JUST came out this year so it would make sense that Dailies Aquacomfort Plus Toric are excluded from this video. I am also super curious to try this brand.
For best corrected vision in a contact lens, yes. Ideally you and your eye doctor will be able to find a lens power and design that works well for you.
Started to use daily torics lenses but i've got double vision mainly during the night. If i close one eye i see ok. What can be the reason for that? Thanks much
I had this issue and my near-sightedness prescription was too strong by .5. The astigmatism prescription was ok. Got my eyes rechecked, all better now. Dr said when you're getting closer to 40 years +, over-correction will really make it hard to focus.
I have -1 in right eye and -0.50 left eye astigmatism but when i wanted to buy lenses from internet the options i had was just -0.75/ -1.25 and more so what do I need to choose?
I have very dry eyes .so its very difficult to wear contact lenses(toric). It tends to get blurry and i get headach too. Til now it was ok bt i dont plan to wear glasses on my wedding day. help me 🥺
Ask your eye Dr to give you some daily contacts to try out. Since you only really want them for one day, I would suggest trying the premium (imo) Acuvue Oasys 1-Day for Astigmatism. They are quite expensive but since you really only want them for 1 day, a demo pair (or two) should be ok.
Any idea what I could use with astigmatism with very very very dry eyes, that eye drops have not helped , and i can only wear my contacts for an hour before they dry up in my eye and get crumpled up. This was with dailies so im going through 2-3 pairs a day 😭 my eyes are both -3.00 i think
Hi Ryan, I have Keratoconus and high astigmatism. I'm a OD: -7.75. I hope my contacts won't be so expensive. I get my initial contact checkup next week. I was offered 4 years ago monthly ones but they were pricey and I wonder if it's because of my eye condition. What do you recommend.
You were most likely offered rgp or scleral lenses. They’re a custom option for patients that have keratoconus and can be expensive if you don’t have material coverage though your vision/medical insurance. With this in mind, they are the best option for moderate to severe keratoconus.
Any recommendations for someone who golf's almost everyday? I have astigmatism and sometimes the wind can make the contact stick in one spot. I've used prescription sunglasses for years but Im looking for the best contact option for outdoor sports.
Ultra for astigmatism, biotrue one day for astigmatism, and Acuvue oasys 1 day for astigmatism all are great lenses that stabilize well. All with giving a try while the latter is a premium daily disposable option that is less likely to stick to the eye in windy conditions.
Huh. So base curve, diameter, existing corneal health issues, and patient comfort shouldn't come into play. Medical devices shouldn't be compared like this.
Thank you for your feedback. They absolutely do. This video was designed to help people have a more educated discussion with their eye doctor. We have a lot more information on our website that further discusses the technical aspects of each lens.
What's your favorite contact lens for astigmatism (i.e. toric contact lens)? Let me know in the comments below!
Biofinity Toric XR is the best, I highly recommend it, it replaced the hard contacts I used for 12 years

I doubt you’ll respond this far from the publish date but. Do you know how bad the astigmatism would have to be to be disqualified for contacts?
Toric lenses options are available for patients of all astigmatism amounts. Once your over -2.75, you’ll need a custom contact lens option.

Started to use daily torics lenses but i've got double vision mainly during the night. If i close one eye i see ok. What can be the reason for that? Thanks much
I had this issue and my near-sightedness prescription was too strong by .5. The astigmatism prescription was ok. Got my eyes rechecked, all better now. Dr said when you're getting closer to 40 years +, over-correction will really make it hard to focus.
I've -4:00 cyl. Power. Is there any contact lense of this high astigmatism?
Acuvue 2 weeks I try others and none of them works for me as these ones more than 15 years using them
Thank you for sharing
I have -1 in right eye and -0.50 left eye astigmatism but when i wanted to buy lenses from internet the options i had was just -0.75/ -1.25 and more so what do I need to choose?
Consult with your eye doctor so you can best understand your prescription.
I have very dry eyes .so its very difficult to wear contact lenses(toric). It tends to get blurry and i get headach too. Til now it was ok bt i dont plan to wear glasses on my wedding day. help me 🥺
Ask your eye Dr to give you some daily contacts to try out. Since you only really want them for one day, I would suggest trying the premium (imo) Acuvue Oasys 1-Day for Astigmatism. They are quite expensive but since you really only want them for 1 day, a demo pair (or two) should be ok.
I've never had contacts so don't even know where to start. I don't want to wear glasses to my wedding either but I don't want to be blind neither.
Any idea what I could use with astigmatism with very very very dry eyes, that eye drops have not helped , and i can only wear my contacts for an hour before they dry up in my eye and get crumpled up. This was with dailies so im going through 2-3 pairs a day 😭 my eyes are both -3.00 i think
Did you find any solution please ?
@@insanoglu6637 i have not yet :( sorry
Alcon précision 1
Allons dailies total 1
Both are available now and solid options
Hi Ryan, I have Keratoconus and high astigmatism. I'm a OD: -7.75. I hope my contacts won't be so expensive. I get my initial contact checkup next week. I was offered 4 years ago monthly ones but they were pricey and I wonder if it's because of my eye condition. What do you recommend.
You were most likely offered rgp or scleral lenses. They’re a custom option for patients that have keratoconus and can be expensive if you don’t have material coverage though your vision/medical insurance. With this in mind, they are the best option for moderate to severe keratoconus.
Do they make contacts with cylinder -3.75 and -4.0?
Yes. Biofinity Toric XR comes with up to -5.75 cyl
Brooo I have the same power..
Any recommendations for someone who golf's almost everyday? I have astigmatism and sometimes the wind can make the contact stick in one spot. I've used prescription sunglasses for years but Im looking for the best contact option for outdoor sports.
Ultra for astigmatism, biotrue one day for astigmatism, and Acuvue oasys 1 day for astigmatism all are great lenses that stabilize well. All with giving a try while the latter is a premium daily disposable option that is less likely to stick to the eye in windy conditions.
@@RyanReviewsOptometry Awesome, thanks for the recommendation!! I'll give them a try
Is there any daily contact lenses with CYL -3.25 ????
Biofinity XR go up that high and are very crisp and clear.
@@johnner7796 Biofinity XR is monthly and it's not for astigmatism
Unfortunately, no daily disposable lens. The closest is Biotrue for Astigmatism which goes up to -2.75 DC.
@@RyanReviewsOptometry Many thanks :)
What one is best for sleeping at night with lol
Huh. So base curve, diameter, existing corneal health issues, and patient comfort shouldn't come into play.
Medical devices shouldn't be compared like this.
Thank you for your feedback. They absolutely do. This video was designed to help people have a more educated discussion with their eye doctor. We have a lot more information on our website that further discusses the technical aspects of each lens.
