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.
I've been using Hubble since 2018 and I just canceled my subscription this past week. I moved on to Dailies Aqua Plus. My optometrist said Hubble doesn't have a good business model and I learned the hard way that she was right.
Hi doc, if there was an award specifically for monthly astigmatism lenses, who would receive it? I've been using the Biofinity Torics for years, but I'm curious if there's anything new and better on the market
There have not been many advances for monthly astigmatism lenses, but If i had to pick it would be the B&L Ultra astigmatism lenses. (Otherwise I still like Biofinity Torics myself)
I new to contacts been wearing them for almost 2 month I been using the alcon total 30 and I must say I agree first 2 weeks I could tell they were there but after that sometime I forget I even wearing them great review keep up the good work!!
Shout out to precision 1 fr. It's the only lens I've ever used that doesn't spin around in my eye throughout the day (astigmatism). Too bad it's super expensive to use dailies vs monthlies 😂
@@whatsgoodjboog i've never had my eyes turn red with them but I definitely had discomfort after the 5 hr mark (my original comment was written when I was wearing them for 4 hr at a time lol)
@@himynameisciel the weird thing I don't quite understand is that my eyes aren't red when the contacts are in. They turn red when I take them out. I'm going to stick with the contacts because they're comfortable(I forget they're in my eyes) and the redness is only visible when I take my contacts out. I always wear my contacts so I'm good.
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 .
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.
You know what doctor! I've just watched all of your videos on various eye-diseases,treatments and lenses for eyes like Eye-conjunctivitis, Dry eyes, Eye-bags, Computer Vision Syndrome(Digital Strain), Floaters, PVD, Atropine eye-drops & Pineapples(Bromelain), Visual Snow Syndrome, BFEP, Glaucoma, Cataracts, Legal Blindness, Foods & Exercises for the eyes, Blue light filtered lenses, Anti-glare lenses and many more. 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.
Fack same I'm 17 and started seeing floaters a few months and then there's suddenly a blue field entoptic phenomenon when I look at white wall and blue sky then suddenly I saw halos starburs just last week and with astigmatism and double vision:/
@@fsum1098 Glad I finally found someone with almost same eye-problems! uk I also have Astigmatism(-2.25 Diopters each eye) and that leads to double vision when I see horizontally placed objects. Some people worry about their spherical numbers, but I wish I had spherical only... Astigmatism is too disgusting right? And uk what, my vision with floaters, BFEP & rainbow halos around lights just deteriorated over time... Initially I was noticing only a slim & tiny portion of rainbow around lights but now I see complete rainbow(somewhat thicker too). I used to see floaters only in sky but now I see them even on white & grey coloured walls, white pages of books etc. But one thing that I'm really doubtful about is BFEP. I initially started noticing dark vortex in sky(very disgusting), and then came numerous white dots and it just became worst. But over time I just became less likely to observe the dark vortex of WBCs and now I don't usually notice it. But yeah, white dots just kept being more noticeable and I also see them on white & grey walls even. btw what's your experience? Do you see a dark trail/vortex of WBCs in the sky?
@@mathematicalbiologist154 some times I see them when I had a headache i wish they can fix our eye like removing the floaters Safer eye floater treatments come with a burst of nanobubbles I think it will be available soon. fix the eye and transplant some retina or retinal therapy but it's only available in trials I hope it will come sooner. I think because of this floaters it causes cataract I hope not but it has a possibility that causes halos around light like rainbow or the cornea is swelling or cornea problem that causes halos and starburst with astigmatism or lens of the eye.
I have coloboma and microphthalmia. The company I use to get my contacts stopped making coloured contacts. Been working with my eye specialist for years and we’re just at a loss to find a lens that hides my eye defects. I live in the U.K. we tried the Alcon coloured lenses, they did feel comfortable but just didn’t do what I got them for.
Yes, we often try to do what is called a spherical equivalent. It can give good vision for some people but not always. It depends on how strong the prescription is.
I couldn’t agree more on the monthly and daily lenses! I cannot wait to work with the dailies total 1 for astigmatism. They just came out in Belgium, so excited! Great to hear you have great experiences with it!
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.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I had my eyes checked by the optician when I had them in. They basically told me that the lens sits correctly on my eye, but still I'm experiencing the same moving/blinking issue.
I've been wearing the Alcon Dailies Aquacomfort for the last couple of years but they dry out before the end of the day and make it difficult to see at night. I've been anxiously waiting for the Precision 1's for astigmatism to come out this year and have been testing them the last few weeks. 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.
After a couple of years wearing contacts, I had one bad experience with Alcon ( Dailies Acqua comfort 1) One of them broke while I was taking it off. 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..
@@alexn8320 This video was more about soft lenses but I should have some videos about sclerals coming out this year for sure. How was the fitting? Cool experience?
Hi DR Allen I have trouble putting contact lenses... It just cannot be done, when I open my eye too much or hold my eyelid I feel like there is air coming to my eyes, or like wind :) The lenses drop or I blink, and I have tried so many times... Is there an option to put an anesthetic drops at least for the first time and then put contact lenses I am highly motivated for this Watch you on a regular basis big fan Thanks in advance
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.
Hi Doc, as for affordable lenses, have you tried the Japanese Seed 1 Day Pure? Pretty nice hydrogel in my experience with relatively high dk/t compared to stuff like Acuvue Moist.
@@DoctorEyeHealth no, different hydrogel material with better dk/t than Miru, and no flat pack. They come in 32 piece monthly packs and 8 piece trials, so that's neat.
My options seem limited since most toric lenses only come in - 2.25 max. It's unfortunate but I see hope we will see more daily lenses coming out with higher astigmatism correction!
What pisses me off is that none of the shops sells pairs to try it out. I am not going to pay 70 eur for a pack without knowing how they fit me. Ridiculous
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’ve only used Biofinity for the past 10-ish years, but I’m trying to find new lenses since they’re starting to irritate my eyes. I have astigmatism, so I’m definitely going to ask about Total 30. I wish there with healthy options for colored lenses for astigmatism. 😭
Depending on someones astigmatism level, if they can try a Daily Total 1 for astigmatism that may be the highest quality astigmatism lens on the market. If price is a factor, the Precision 1 astigmatism is a good compromise. Otherwise, after the biofinity toric I like the B/L Ultra astigmatism.
Doctor Eye: This is an unrelated question to contacts. I was exposed to mold in 2020 for several days. I started having some serious issues with my eyes. I am still having issues today in 2022. The issues worsened when I moved from a wet climate to a dry climate. I have been diagnosed with dry eye and allergies. Do you have any recommendations for my eyes? Thank you.
Hey Deb, thanks for the question! 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?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Hi Dr. Eye Health. Thank you for replying. My doctor has prescribed Ocusoft Hypochlor which I use twice a day. Also, Flarex. I use that sparingly because it is a steroid that could harm my eyes if used too much. I also use a heated moist pad on my eyes at night for about 15 minutes. That’s all.
I recently switched to contacts after wearing glasses for 27 years and I was given Acuvue Oasys bi-weekly lenses. What is your take on those? I've had nothing but good experience with it :)
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
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
Is there such a thing as daily, colored prescription astigmatism lenses? Just wondering if the complete combo is possible anywhere because I couldn't find it haha
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)...
So what’s the difference between the dailies total 1 and infuse ? Is it that infuse released medication into your eye and total 1 is more for having the best breathability and comfort?
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 built around stabilizing the tear film by releasing the proteins and electrolytes that commonly decrease with dry eye.
I work for Coopversion their contact lenses are excellent but monomer does not work at all for my eye so Im testing 2 products from Johnson and Johnson right now the better solution for my eye is Acuvue True Eye.
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
Hi Doc! Once again thank you so much for this detailed video! What's your opinion on the Acuvue Oasys Max lens coming out later this year? Alot fo claims coming from J&J about them!
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.
I work at an eye clinic in Japan. I have a question about precision 1. We know it's very easy to put them in, and it's very comfortable to wear. But it's a bit difficult to take them out not only for beginners, we think. That's why some patinet gives up using precision 1. So we can't recommend them to beginners easily. Have you ever heard a case like this ?
@@aslanb8827 Hi! I'm sorry I don't have enough knowledge about overseas products, but I have some information about three types of "Miru". And this is just my personal opinion. " Miru 1day Up Side " and "Miru 1month Menicon" are good, silicone hydrogel. (this may be off topic, but "Miru 1month Menicon" is on sale as 2-week replacement lens in Japan.) Sometimes you might feel it's a bit difficult to pick up lens, though. "Miru 1day flat Pack" is easy to carry , but it's not good especially for beginners. Because it has a little solution. It's not silicone hydrogel, so there are few users in our clinic and shop. I hope this helps you !
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.
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?
Hello doctor, I have a question about the total 30 monthly lenses. I use the opti free pure moist solution and I'm wondering if it is counterproductive to rub the surfaces while cleaning because of the water gradient surfaces? Or if there is a specific solution to use for water gradient lenses?
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.
This is a common question! They do not make them in modern, safer designs. If someone has a smaller amount of astigmatism, like less than 2 diopters, it is possible to get decent correction with sphere powers, otherwise astigmatism color lenses have to be custom made.
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
Yeah, Im sorry it has been so long. Trying to coordinate schedules is challenging. We did a shoot for corneal crosslinking but we have plans to do some more videos in the near future. Will do the best I can.
I had the smile / clear lens exchange. I’m 52. It was worth every penny. I love seeing. After being in glasses and contacts for over 40 Years .love waking up to clear vision and reading up close without readers.
I'm assuming these are all soft contact lense. For years I've worn aspheric RGP contacts. Are their any soft contacts that correct vision (far, middle, near) and work with higher corrections (-11, -12)?
I'm getting an eye exam for contacts next week. I've got presbyopia. Im going to get the Accuvue Multifocal. I only wish they had transitions on the lens.
Where can I get a prescription of -12.50? I have recent experienced big eye changes including cataracts and can’t seem to find my stronger prescription
I think some brands just were not competing well against Oasys lenses. Otherwise most people tend to overwear 2 weeks to 1 month anyway...which leads to infection/complications. Daily lenses are way healthier.
Same as Coopervision products - they just private label them so it makes it harder for you to buy them elsewhere. Kind of a scammy marketing tactic if you ask me.
Why are lenses made with only one base curvature and diameter value? For example, I have bc 8.6 and d 14.2 mm and I can't wear the new Alcon total 30. Thanks in advance!
Well to my understanding, the manufacturers put in an immense amount of research to find a optimal base curve and diameter that works for as many peoples eyes as possible. Most lenses do fit for about 90% of the population (from what I have heard from people in the industry). Base curve and diameter mean a lot more when talking about hard lenses but more recently there have been some publications suggesting that it doesn'tt mean as much with soft lenses as do some other parameters, such as sag height, which is typically not even reported by the manufacturers. Including the specific fitting paradigm of each lens and how that works with the characteristics of the plastics used.
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.
I just started wearing total30 today. Do you still like them after wearing them awhile? I've seen some bad reviews and I'm unsure if I should go ahead and order some.
@@jammiez2805 Yes! I think they're great. I can often wear them up to 16 hours, though sometimes they can start to feel dry. I can usually get through at least 12 hours with no issues. I switched to Clear Care solution and that has made a difference too. I don't have issues with them becoming uncomfortable closer to day 30. If the contacts work for you, bad reviews don't mean anything. I would definitely wear them for a few days to a week before ordering them, though
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?
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)
Hello Dr. Allen, I have the condition of presbyopia and I've been wearing the bausch and lomb contacts. They are great but I was wondering about the Alcon Total 30 for presbyopia if it's going to be available or if it's available already? I been doing some research but I can't find any information on a launch of the multiifocal lenses. Thank you for sharing this great information I learned so much on different options I have for comfortable contacts lenses. You're the BEST Dr Allen!!🏆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh thank you so much! I have not heard of anything about the MF Total 30s yet. Perhaps next year? I know the Alcon Max lens has a MF and I have been hearing good things.
Why don't you ever hear much about Avaira Vitality contacts?I tried biofinity, acuvue oasis and they were uncomfortable, they felt like they were constantly moving on my eye. Avaira Vitality is the most comfortable toric contacts that I have ever tried. I don't understand why there is not much information about these lenses online, and there are no videos about them.I love that they are affordable and also comfortable. I don't understand why Coopervisions Biofinity contacts that are more expensive feel so dry and irritating, but their cheap line of contacts feel great.
Go figure you rate the total 30’s the best. I’m here because my eye doc recommended them. So glad I decided against a years worth. I’ve never had drier eyes. If I don’t blink quickly enough, My eyelids stick to them, then they move/bunch up/turns blurry. I’m a hairdresser, this is the worst when I’m trying to discreetly blink rapidly….hoping to re-moisturize my eyeballs 😂
Does anybody else put the contact lens in their palm and then spray it really hard with the contact lens solution instead of rubbing it with your fingertip like you're supposed to?
Hi Joe. I have been told by my eye doctor that because I have astigmatism I cannot get a lens that gives clear vision at all distances including near vision. In your opinion is there a lens that will do this and obviate the need for me to wear reading glasses when wearing my lenses? I am currently using Coopervision MyDay Toric but I don’t find them as comfortable as the Daily Total 1 lenses I used to wear not for astigmatism. Thanks.
@@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.
i’ve been wearing contact lenses for at least 6 years now but I still havent found the perfect one for me (the closest one was the Clariti 1 day lenses by Coopervision), in fact the more I search the more stressful it gets i’ll be going on a 1 week trip in a few months and I’m worried about which lens to get that will not only work with my insanely dry eyes, but will avoid getting red/mild bumps around my eyes after around one full day of wear (preferably daily) ☹️

Biofinity XR Torics. That will be the brand you want to look into. But they often take longer to order because they may need to make them special.
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 .

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.
You know what doctor! I've just watched all of your videos on various eye-diseases,treatments and lenses for eyes like Eye-conjunctivitis, Dry eyes, Eye-bags, Computer Vision Syndrome(Digital Strain), Floaters, PVD, Atropine eye-drops & Pineapples(Bromelain), Visual Snow Syndrome, BFEP, Glaucoma, Cataracts, Legal Blindness, Foods & Exercises for the eyes, Blue light filtered lenses, Anti-glare lenses and many more. 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.
Fack same I'm 17 and started seeing floaters a few months and then there's suddenly a blue field entoptic phenomenon when I look at white wall and blue sky then suddenly I saw halos starburs just last week and with astigmatism and double vision:/
@@fsum1098 Glad I finally found someone with almost same eye-problems! uk I also have Astigmatism(-2.25 Diopters each eye) and that leads to double vision when I see horizontally placed objects. Some people worry about their spherical numbers, but I wish I had spherical only... Astigmatism is too disgusting right? And uk what, my vision with floaters, BFEP & rainbow halos around lights just deteriorated over time... Initially I was noticing only a slim & tiny portion of rainbow around lights but now I see complete rainbow(somewhat thicker too). I used to see floaters only in sky but now I see them even on white & grey coloured walls, white pages of books etc. But one thing that I'm really doubtful about is BFEP. I initially started noticing dark vortex in sky(very disgusting), and then came numerous white dots and it just became worst. But over time I just became less likely to observe the dark vortex of WBCs and now I don't usually notice it. But yeah, white dots just kept being more noticeable and I also see them on white & grey walls even.
btw what's your experience? Do you see a dark trail/vortex of WBCs in the sky?
@@mathematicalbiologist154 some times I see them when I had a headache i wish they can fix our eye like removing the floaters Safer eye floater treatments come with a burst of nanobubbles I think it will be available soon. fix the eye and transplant some retina or retinal therapy but it's only available in trials I hope it will come sooner. I think because of this floaters it causes cataract I hope not but it has a possibility that causes halos around light like rainbow or the cornea is swelling or cornea problem that causes halos and starburst with astigmatism or lens of the eye.
I have coloboma and microphthalmia. The company I use to get my contacts stopped making coloured contacts. Been working with my eye specialist for years and we’re just at a loss to find a lens that hides my eye defects. I live in the U.K. we tried the Alcon coloured lenses, they did feel comfortable but just didn’t do what I got them for.
Can people with astigmatism wear normal contact lens..???
Yes, we often try to do what is called a spherical equivalent. It can give good vision for some people but not always. It depends on how strong the prescription is.
I couldn’t agree more on the monthly and daily lenses! I cannot wait to work with the dailies total 1 for astigmatism. They just came out in Belgium, so excited! Great to hear you have great experiences with it!
Waiting for them to come out in singapore😓
I find that the dailies total one for astigmatism suck to me. They are nothing like the normal dailies total one
@@Muzicboy3why? I want to try it but I’ve only heard good things about about the regular ones. For astig, I’ve been hearing mixed things.
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.
Same experience for me!
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I had my eyes checked by the optician when I had them in. They basically told me that the lens sits correctly on my eye, but still I'm experiencing the same moving/blinking issue.
I've been wearing the Alcon Dailies Aquacomfort for the last couple of years but they dry out before the end of the day and make it difficult to see at night. I've been anxiously waiting for the Precision 1's for astigmatism to come out this year and have been testing them the last few weeks. 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.
Tried the dailies total 1 astigmatism today, comfortable but keep moving every time we blink the eye
This is the same problem for me! Im a first time contact lens wearer as of today and they gave me dailies too.
Thank you. Great info. Appreciate your time in giving us such thorough information.
Any time!
does they make color contacts for keratokonus ?
After a couple of years wearing contacts, I had one bad experience with Alcon ( Dailies Acqua comfort 1) One of them broke while I was taking it off. 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..
I tried INFUSE and it always feels like something is in my left eye so I had to throw them out
Which lens in this video was your favorite? Let me know what cool things you would like in a future contact lens?
I hope i can afford that onces😭😭😭😭
Have a scleral lens fitting in afew days and was hoping to see something mentioned about them.
@@alexn8320 This video was more about soft lenses but I should have some videos about sclerals coming out this year for sure. How was the fitting? Cool experience?
I probably need ones that I can sleep in because I have a hard time taking them out.
Hi DR
Allen
I have trouble putting contact lenses... It just cannot be done, when I open my eye too much or hold my eyelid I feel like there is air coming to my eyes, or like wind :) The lenses drop or I blink, and I have tried so many times...
Is there an option to put an anesthetic drops at least for the first time and then put contact lenses
I am highly motivated for this
Watch you on a regular basis big fan
Thanks in advance
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.
Total 30 is not as stable as Biofinity Toric in my testing. Nothing has beaten Biofinity’s clarity so far.
Hi Doc, as for affordable lenses, have you tried the Japanese Seed 1 Day Pure? Pretty nice hydrogel in my experience with relatively high dk/t compared to stuff like Acuvue Moist.
I will check it out! I have not tried it. Is it similar to Miru?
@@DoctorEyeHealth no, different hydrogel material with better dk/t than Miru, and no flat pack. They come in 32 piece monthly packs and 8 piece trials, so that's neat.
As long as the person’s hands are washed and completely dry right before removal, they should come out no problem.
Can you get them online
How much do you get them for
My options seem limited since most toric lenses only come in - 2.25 max. It's unfortunate but I see hope we will see more daily lenses coming out with higher astigmatism correction!
Yes and unfortunately acuvue oasys astigmatism recently discontinued my prescription -3.5 -2.75-030 :(
Biofinity Toric !! They have the higher prescriptions
Hi! Do you know the best colored TORIC lenses for astigmatism and dry eyes?
What pisses me off is that none of the shops sells pairs to try it out. I am not going to pay 70 eur for a pack without knowing how they fit me. Ridiculous
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’ve only used Biofinity for the past 10-ish years, but I’m trying to find new lenses since they’re starting to irritate my eyes. I have astigmatism, so I’m definitely going to ask about Total 30. I wish there with healthy options for colored lenses for astigmatism. 😭
Depending on someones astigmatism level, if they can try a Daily Total 1 for astigmatism that may be the highest quality astigmatism lens on the market. If price is a factor, the Precision 1 astigmatism is a good compromise. Otherwise, after the biofinity toric I like the B/L Ultra astigmatism.
Love the volume of the backround music. So many of UA-camrs have their music way too loud.
Hey Thanks for noticing!!! I made that mistake early on during my UA-cam Career. Better to error on the side of too quiet than too loud.
Doctor Eye: This is an unrelated question to contacts.
I was exposed to mold in 2020 for several days. I started having some serious issues with my eyes. I am still having issues today in 2022. The issues worsened when I moved from a wet climate to a dry climate. I have been diagnosed with dry eye and allergies. Do you have any recommendations for my eyes? Thank you.
Hey Deb, thanks for the question! 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?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Hi Dr. Eye Health. Thank you for replying. My doctor has prescribed Ocusoft Hypochlor which I use twice a day. Also, Flarex. I use that sparingly because it is a steroid that could harm my eyes if used too much. I also use a heated moist pad on my eyes at night for about 15 minutes. That’s all.
I recently switched to contacts after wearing glasses for 27 years and I was given Acuvue Oasys bi-weekly lenses. What is your take on those? I've had nothing but good experience with it :)
should i buy those?
Yes, yes you should @@backwardmist2303
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 can’t find daily total 1 for astigmatism in the uk without spending huge bucks. Are they similar to precision 1 for astigmatism
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
Is there such a thing as daily, colored prescription astigmatism lenses? Just wondering if the complete combo is possible anywhere because I couldn't find it haha
To my knowledge, they do not exist at this time. There are some daily color lenses, but they are not in astigmatism at this time.
For Astigmatism and dry eyes I absolutely love the Bausch and Lomb Biotrue contacts. Keep their moisture all day, feel great and great vision!
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)...
Your videos are so helpful. And that new beard really suits you! 👌🏻
Glad you think so! Sadly, I did shave it. I couldn't stand the itchy phase.
Are there colored contacts for astigmatism?
So what’s the difference between the dailies total 1 and infuse ? Is it that infuse released medication into your eye and total 1 is more for having the best breathability and comfort?
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 built around stabilizing the tear film by releasing the proteins and electrolytes that commonly decrease with dry eye.
I work for Coopversion their contact lenses are excellent but monomer does not work at all for my eye so Im testing 2 products from Johnson and Johnson right now the better solution for my eye is Acuvue True Eye.
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
Hi Doc! Once again thank you so much for this detailed video! What's your opinion on the Acuvue Oasys Max lens coming out later this year? Alot fo claims coming from J&J about them!
I heard about that! I don't know too much about it yet but I can't wait to try them.
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 is it bad to have the same prescription for contacts as your glasses?
Unfortunately, the Ultra Ones/Infuse are hardly to get, the company has supply chain issues. 😕
Stinging burning sensation in eye causes
Good video topic! Thanks
I work at an eye clinic in Japan.
I have a question about precision 1.
We know it's very easy to put them in, and it's very comfortable to wear. But it's a bit difficult to take them out not only for beginners, we think.
That's why some patinet gives up using precision 1.
So we can't recommend them to beginners easily.
Have you ever heard a case like this ?
Hi. What do you think about japanese brand "Miru"? Saw this in local market (i'm from Turkey). Are they good?
@@aslanb8827
Hi!
I'm sorry I don't have enough knowledge about overseas products, but I have some information about three types of "Miru".
And this is just my personal opinion.
" Miru 1day Up Side " and "Miru 1month Menicon" are good, silicone hydrogel. (this may be off topic, but "Miru 1month Menicon" is on sale as 2-week replacement lens in Japan.)
Sometimes you might feel it's a bit difficult to pick up lens, though.
"Miru 1day flat Pack" is easy to carry , but it's not good especially for beginners.
Because it has a little solution.
It's not silicone hydrogel, so there are few users in our clinic and shop.
I hope this helps you !
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.
Since eyeris is not everywhere, can you please please please recommend another cheaper alternative? Thanksyouu
Coopervision MyDay lenses or the B&L Biotrue onedays. If you are looking for good quality, affordable and daily lens.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you!
This was great! Straight to the point, helpful and you probably saved my eyes from this video.
Do contacts not come in -0.5 cylinder?
Unfortunately, no. Most doctors will just order a spherical equivalent when the cylinder is that low.
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?
Can you speak to using multifocals vs. going monovision in soft contact lenses?
Hello doctor, I have a question about the total 30 monthly lenses. I use the opti free pure moist solution and I'm wondering if it is counterproductive to rub the surfaces while cleaning because of the water gradient surfaces? Or if there is a specific solution to use for water gradient lenses?
But is the Daily Total 1 for astigmatism good with dry eye???
I think so
@@DoctorEyeHealth hmm?
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.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks for answering! How can I get the spherical equivalent that you mention?
@@DoctorEyeHealth can you please make a video about the spherical equivalent power that you mentioned? 🙏
Can you wear colored if you have stigmatism?
This is a common question! They do not make them in modern, safer designs. If someone has a smaller amount of astigmatism, like less than 2 diopters, it is possible to get decent correction with sphere powers, otherwise astigmatism color lenses have to be custom made.
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
OMG! Recently subscribed. You gave me a scare with this one. What the heck is that thing above your lip?! 😨
Can you make a 2023 version ?
Hoping to! But 2024 probably
You said you have a shoot with someone at the end of june regarding SMILE surgery 😭 I've waited too long
Yeah, Im sorry it has been so long. Trying to coordinate schedules is challenging. We did a shoot for corneal crosslinking but we have plans to do some more videos in the near future. Will do the best I can.
@@DoctorEyeHealth i like how you say "we" but it's only you.
I had the smile / clear lens exchange. I’m 52. It was worth every penny. I love seeing. After being in glasses and contacts for over 40 Years .love waking up to clear vision and reading up close without readers.
@@addywilz6623 so happy for you, from which clinic you did it? I'm thinking ill do it from london vision clinic. Is it a good place in your opinion?
@@kritikgupta4730 I had it done in Salt Lake City , Utah in the United States. Waite Vision.
His team is amazing. I love my new vision.
I'm assuming these are all soft contact lense. For years I've worn aspheric RGP contacts. Are their any soft contacts that correct vision (far, middle, near) and work with higher corrections (-11, -12)?
I don’t recall if the soft MF lenses go up that high. I don’t think so but I could be wrong.
I did not care for the total 30 contacts. I’m currently using acuvue vita and loving them.
Bausch and Lomb Infuse- they dont ship in Canada! 😭😭😭
I think the Infuse B&L dailies are not available down here in Mexico :/
I'm getting an eye exam for contacts next week. I've got presbyopia. Im going to get the Accuvue Multifocal. I only wish they had transitions on the lens.
Hope you love them!
Where can I get a prescription of -12.50? I have recent experienced big eye changes including cataracts and can’t seem to find my stronger prescription
I know for large prescriptions I often like to try Biofinity XRs
Why are the 2 week contacts being phased out? I currently use acuvue oasys multifocal. What will be a good replacement?
I think some brands just were not competing well against Oasys lenses. Otherwise most people tend to overwear 2 weeks to 1 month anyway...which leads to infection/complications. Daily lenses are way healthier.
Are there daily multifocal lenses for folks with astigmatism and presbyopia?
Right now, there are two monthly options, but no dailies 😔
I’m so glad you talked about the Alcon Total 30 lens. During my next eye care visit I’m going to ask about these.
You should! I do like them! You still need to clean them every day but otherwise they work well for me.
Hey doc, Can you please suggest any drops or anything that fixes my droopy eye, My left eye is droopy & it looks so awkward
You should talk to a local eye doctor about a medication called Upneeq and if it is an option for you.
What about the Kirkland lenses at Costco
Same as Coopervision products - they just private label them so it makes it harder for you to buy them elsewhere. Kind of a scammy marketing tactic if you ask me.
Why are lenses made with only one base curvature and diameter value?
For example, I have bc 8.6 and d 14.2 mm and I can't wear the new Alcon total 30.
Thanks in advance!
Well to my understanding, the manufacturers put in an immense amount of research to find a optimal base curve and diameter that works for as many peoples eyes as possible. Most lenses do fit for about 90% of the population (from what I have heard from people in the industry). Base curve and diameter mean a lot more when talking about hard lenses but more recently there have been some publications suggesting that it doesn'tt mean as much with soft lenses as do some other parameters, such as sag height, which is typically not even reported by the manufacturers. Including the specific fitting paradigm of each lens and how that works with the characteristics of the plastics used.
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.
Dr. Allen, could you please do a review for hybrid contact lenses like synergeyes?
why the power for contact lens different as compare to glass?
I’ve worn contacts on and off for years. Just started wearing Total 30 a month ago. Most comfortable contacts I’ve worn. They do feel like nothing
I just started wearing total30 today. Do you still like them after wearing them awhile? I've seen some bad reviews and I'm unsure if I should go ahead and order some.
@@jammiez2805 Yes! I think they're great. I can often wear them up to 16 hours, though sometimes they can start to feel dry. I can usually get through at least 12 hours with no issues. I switched to Clear Care solution and that has made a difference too. I don't have issues with them becoming uncomfortable closer to day 30. If the contacts work for you, bad reviews don't mean anything. I would definitely wear them for a few days to a week before ordering them, though
Can astigmatism cause double vision and halo what does the effect of vision if you have astigmatism looking at the phone?
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?
any tinted contacts you recommend?
Is the 2024 video out yet?
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)
@@DoctorEyeHealth until now (before newest lens drops out), do you still suggest that the Infuse B&L dailies is the best daily lens?
Hello Dr. Allen, I have the condition of presbyopia and I've been wearing the bausch and lomb contacts. They are great but I was wondering about the Alcon Total 30 for presbyopia if it's going to be available or if it's available already? I been doing some research but I can't find any information on a launch of the multiifocal lenses.
Thank you for sharing this great information I learned so much on different options I have for comfortable contacts lenses.
You're the BEST Dr Allen!!🏆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh thank you so much! I have not heard of anything about the MF Total 30s yet. Perhaps next year? I know the Alcon Max lens has a MF and I have been hearing good things.
What's up with Hubble,?
Why don't you ever hear much about Avaira Vitality contacts?I tried biofinity, acuvue oasis and they were uncomfortable, they felt like they were constantly moving on my eye. Avaira Vitality is the most comfortable toric contacts that I have ever tried. I don't understand why there is not much information about these lenses online, and there are no videos about them.I love that they are affordable and also comfortable. I don't understand why Coopervisions Biofinity contacts that are more expensive feel so dry and irritating, but their cheap line of contacts feel great.
Really good question! From what I heard a few years ago, they are being discontinued....
I have high astigmatism, cyl 3.50 and i can never find coloured astigmatism lenses.. is there any brand that offer colours for astigmatism?
👍🏻🔥
Glad you liked the video!
Go figure you rate the total 30’s the best.
I’m here because my eye doc recommended them.
So glad I decided against a years worth.
I’ve never had drier eyes.
If I don’t blink quickly enough, My eyelids stick to them, then they move/bunch up/turns blurry.
I’m a hairdresser, this is the worst when I’m trying to discreetly blink rapidly….hoping to re-moisturize my eyeballs 😂
Does anybody else put the contact lens in their palm and then spray it really hard with the contact lens solution instead of rubbing it with your fingertip like you're supposed to?
Hi Joe. I have been told by my eye doctor that because I have astigmatism I cannot get a lens that gives clear vision at all distances including near vision. In your opinion is there a lens that will do this and obviate the need for me to wear reading glasses when wearing my lenses? I am currently using Coopervision MyDay Toric but I don’t find them as comfortable as the Daily Total 1 lenses I used to wear not for astigmatism. Thanks.
I can’t decide between the vita and the total 30. They are both super comfortable. Is one better for cleaning and vision.
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.
@@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.
Bauch is a horrible brand
i’ve been wearing contact lenses for at least 6 years now but I still havent found the perfect one for me (the closest one was the Clariti 1 day lenses by Coopervision), in fact the more I search the more stressful it gets
