I'm back to biweeklies (acuvue oasys multifocal) after a few years of dailies or just glasses. I was always an H2O2 acolyte. Even pre Clear Care. I was rocking AOSept + Miraflow back in the day and my eyes did great. I could never tolerate MPS bc of preservatives. But something has changed with BioTrue since the last time I tried it a gazillion years ago. I had to buy a bottle in the airport after TSA confiscated my beloved CC. It's only been a few days, but my eyes feel better with BioTrue and I'm hitting the Systane much less frequently.
I tried generic for a month and it absolutely sucks…. I went out and bought a better one today and cleaned my lenses and already feeling better. I used Acuvue for a couple years as I wear the Oasys lenses and my optometrist recommended it…it’s lovely.
I have B&L Ultra for Astigmatism. I tried the Clear Care plus Hydraglyde but it made my contacts unusable. After a couple minutes the vision turned super foggy and it stayed that way even after I removed my contacts. The regular Clear Care never had that issue. I was using B&L Biotrue which felt great initially but towards the second week my lenses didn’t feel like they were getting cleaned. I tried B&L Re-Nu Advanced and that seems to have been the golden pair for me. Super clear and clean lenses and doesn’t irritate my eyes!
Would it be possible to use the generic ones for all the rinsing and possibly rubbing? Rinsing each side for 10secs with a 300ml bottle for $10-$12 each will make you go broke easily. Use the expensive better quality one for the lensholder overnight the cheap one for rinsing.
I switched to the Clear Care with hydrogen peroxide solution a few months ago and it made a huge difference. Every day feels like the contacts are a new fresh pair. Kinda of nice to hear that the "off brand" ones are actually not up to par compared to the name brand ones. I thought it was just in my head!
And to me it irritated my eyes by half the day and would feel dry with the air idk I guess peoples eyes are different but yes follow directions or you will regret it in .5 sec after u put it in your eye 👁 lol
Great informative video! I'm using the biofinity toric lenses and they got extremely dry from the biotrue solution. After one day I had to toss them away. Switched to acuvue revitalens and it works great with those contacts. I have a quick question. If I want to remove my contact lenses for like an hour going swimming and showering. Is it ok to pop them back in after that hour without letting them stay in the solution for the whole six hours? I'll rinse them with saline before putting them back in too.
Yes, that's fine.. as long as you let them sit overnight that night. Unless we are talking about the ClearCare solution, then yes, you want to let that sit at least 6 hours no matter what.
Thanks for helping through the thorough information! I tried generic solution once after YEARS of name brand and never again. I don't mess with my baby browns!
Thank you so much for the very informative video! I have a question about using these lenses. Let's say that I used my lens today and stored it with it's solution for the 6 hours but I don't feel like putting on my lenses the next day and just want to use my glasses. How do I contain the monthly lenses for a couple of days? Do I just keep them in their container with it's solution?
I’m starting to use Acuvue serum but the thing is I had to open a new bottle, and used it once so can I can use it later maybe 3/4 months later ? It’s brand new
I need step by step which comes first for beginners, like once i get my eye contacts do i do the clear care first for 6 hrs then transfer it into the storage container and use a different bottle to store it. An eye dropper to keep the eye moist if it gets dry? I am just so confuse.
Excellent Question. Technically yes, but I usually tell people to shy away from it if they can. It is safe to use in the eyes, but it does have preservatives and disinfectants in the solution. There are better drops that are safer for repeated use and can help the eyes better.
Hi Dr.Neil I have The Bio true multiple purpose solution and I want to know If I can apply my contacts directly to my eyes after storing my contacts in the Bio true multiple purpose solution? Thank you for your help.
I have used Clear Care for my lenses for years and just recently bought Clear Care Plus. I don't recommend it. With only a few uses I started to get cloudiness when I wore my contacts. I thought it was because there was something in my eye like mucus or even make up. It turns out that it's the solution. It makes my eyes blurred and takes about 30 minutes to clear up after removing the lenses.
Thanks for saying this! I almost put this issue in the video, but I might do a whole separate video on Clear Care. This is a pretty comme issue, and it's from the Hydraglyde in the new solution. With certain contacts it cause almost a film on the lens. If you don't mind me asking, do you know what brand of contacts you wear?
@@carolynbendzynski1764 I think I'm finding people that have the air optix with hydraglyde do great with the clear Care plus, and a few other lenses do ok. But some lenses don't really match very well with it. I wonder if that's the case with your lenses.
I've been having issues recently with the clear care with my air optix night and days. My vision will get cloudy and I'll also see rainbow halos around lights and more glares. Once I take them out it all clears up within an hour. Hoping this is just this solution and a reaction with the contacts. It's happening within an hour of use. I've noticed the rainbow halos after wearing the contacts for an entire day before.
The clear care peroxide cleaner i have an issue where sometimes my left contact lense will burn my eye when I put it in, I always wait at least 6 hours like the instructions say, its not something that happens consistently but it does happen but never with my right eye
That's a tricky one. I wonder if it's actually something with your eye rather than the contact or contact solution. Maybe that eye is more dry and develops some small patches of keratitis, which can burn or sting when something touches it. That would be my guess.
Thank you for this video! I have worn Acuvue Oasys for a few years, but lately I have been having issues with them getting kind of a film or buildup in some spots that causes cloudiness. I was thinking it was either one of my face products (ie moisturiser) or sunscreen somehow getting on them, but now I wonder if it is my solution. I use Optifree Pure moist daily, and Clear care plus occasionally. Neither seem to get it off despite me following the instructions. I am going to try the Acuvue solution since these other 2 are no longer working for me.
My eyes definitely feel better using the Acuvue solution, and it seems to be more effective in cleaning them. Today they seemed to cloud up again, even though I clean them properly. It might have been because I had been outside sweating…maybe it got on them? I have a bunch of them left, so I’m starting with a fresh pair tomorrow. I might ask to try a different brand after I finish the boxes I already have…but I am kind of hesitant since these are usually so comfortable and have worked very well for years. I tried biofinity toric once and they were horrible. I could feel them with every blink and were all around uncomfortable, heavy on the eye, and drying. I couldn’t wait to take them out at the end of each day. Out of curiosity, which brand do your patients usually switch to if they are having problems like mine? I forgot to mention earlier that I wear oasys for astigmatism, not the regular oasys.
@@veronica575m The clouding can sometimes be from dryness, or even alight allergies (maybe from the material of the contact lens itself). Acuvue Vita will feel the same as Oasys (same design) but slightly different material (1-month material). Other than that, patients usually do better in a daily type of lens (thinner, less change of clouding since it's a new lens every day).
Veronica I'm having the same problem I've wore acuvue Oasys for years could not get the toric lenses to a correct fit I only tried a pair or two and I'm wearing the two week Acuvie Oasys +5 in both eyes have bad astigmatism one pair of lenses had severe build up of protein within two or three days it's baffling seems like I'm wasted an entire box I only use biotrue in the other one that you mentioned

I recently started having issues with optifree after using the solution for less than a month. Turns out I am allergic to that solution...and it seems several people I know of too!
Yes I have used it for years and started having issues about two and a half months ago even with different bottles. I was getting eye redness etc .read some reviews where others also having problems and bottles smelling moldy. I just switched to Acuvue solution .

If anyone stsrts javing issues woth that solution consider using a different brand
Thanks for the question. Coopervision (same company that makes biofinity) does have a contact lens solution called "Lite"....but it's not that common at all. In this case I would try Biotrue or Optifree solution and go from there.
Hi!!! I'm using cooper vision avaira vitality lens, can I use same brand copper vision all in one light multipurpose solution or need to use optifree moist solution
Dr. EyeGuy, Do have any patients wearing an Acuvue Oasys in one eye, and a Vita in the other? It's decision time and I do notice the Vita is a bit thicker. It's not that big of a deal but I'm curious.
I think I have a few, but for a different reason. The toric oasys lenses correct for more astigmatism and sometimes that is needed to make the vision better. Most of the time we stick with the same brand so it's not tricky to remember to change them out at 2 weeks or 1 month.
@@DrEyeGuy I see. I was thinking it would be very difficult to remember when to toss them unless you wrote it down but that sounds like a big headache waiting to happen. Thanks!
I have onefit scleral lenses I used to use avizor gp but now it's not available in my country and I can't really find remplacement any suggestions? And thank you
What about eye drops? Am wearing ones without power just for their beauty.. But what eye drops do you advice for these cosmatic contact lenses? Plus they are considered soft lenses right? Never RGP?? Because there is two types of eye drops one for only soft and other for both RGP and soft contact lenses so wdt dr
Yes, soft contact lenses. There are a few great eye drops that you can use with contact lens wear. Blink Contacts is great, also Refresh Relieva for contacts is also great. If the artificial tears say "for contacts" on there, than they should work. I would still limit the drops to less the 4 times per day though.
You have to clean them with the standard contact solution so you can remove any remnants of the hydrogen peroxide cleaner out. Otherwise it burns and irritates your eyes.
Very educational and nice videos! Do you think vr lenses could work for me, or should I try out regular lenses again? LOOOONG time ago I had an accident that made me have bad eye sight in my right eye. I always been told glasses won't help me since I got "perfect" eyesight in my left eye. I'm thought maybe vr lenses could work since the vr headset is a fixed distance in a box. What do you think? Prescription I got from a test my local mall: R: sph:avg +4.00 s.e: 1.75 CYL: - 4.50 ax: 7 L: sph:avg +0.00 s.e: -0.12 CYL: - 0.25 ax: 84
Good question! A few tricky questions for you. Do you know if your brain suppresses your right eye when you have both eyes open? Do you have better depth perception when you have your right corrected? If you have better depth perception, then I would try lenses, either glasses or VR lenses.....Buuuttt... the tricky part is that that right eye lens will make things more magnified and might cause some strain with both of your eyes open. A contact in that right eye would be an awesome option. You won't have the magnifying problem.
@@DrEyeGuy my right eye is pretty suppressed. I see "more" with my left eye. I don't really know what you mean with better depth perception while the eye is corrected. But I have not used lenses for my bad eye in a long time.
@@DrEyeGuy alrifht I understand. As fas as I know. I don't think I have depth preseprion at all in my bad eye. I've had a surgery to put in a new "lense" in my eye. The crazy thing is I feel like I see better in vr then I do on the regular. Thanks for the help have a good one 👍
Does anyone here if your contacts are dry or cloudy put solution directly in your eyes? I do actually either Renu or Opt-free never had any issues, done it for years. Should I not be doing this?
I am a new wearer of RGP contacts, Boston seems to be the "go to" for hard lenses, but it makes my eyes itch. My eye doctor and I are trying different solutions/drops to give me a less cloudy view of the world. Even Refresh drops seem to also dirty the lens (monovision). It is so frustrating to put my clean lens in my eye and in a few hours it is cloudy. It's definitely a struggle.
@@DrEyeGuy ok lovely can’t wait so many people will be waiting for the next update by you thank you so much....hoping there be something that could help us all.....either to try and deal with it or some kind of diet change?
I have a question let’s say I buy opti free I do have sensitive eyes and really want colored contacts with no prescription only for special occasions let’s say I buy those cleaning contact machines I don’t need to rub them right? The machine will do it for me do I still need to have the solution wait for 6 hours even though the machine says “clean for 3-5 minutes” and I wanted to get clear care but people have gotten burn even after the 6 hour period mark??
I assume you are.talkijg about the vibrating cleaners? You won't have to rub your lenses if you do that, but you still want it to smoke in a disinfecting solution. If you leave the contacts in the clear care solution for 6 hours you won't get burned. The solution is water at point.....as long as you have been replacing the case at recommended times.
@@DrEyeGuy Which solution do you recommend ? For cleaning disinfecting comfortable ? And how often do I clean them? Let’s say I use them occasionally and they are yearly lenses ? And Do I have to go to an eye doctor for color contacts with no prescription this is all new to me sorry but I really want colored contacts :)
You do want to get a prescription for them from you eye doctor. Colored contacts are know for being not very breathable on the eye and you want to make sure they won't damage your eyes by your eye doc. Sometimes the contacts come in these little jars, and you can store them in there with the multipurpose solution, like puremoist. But you have to remember to change the solution every month or so.
@@DrEyeGuy oh ok I was thinking of getting yearly contacts and if it’s safe to change the solutions morning and night like before brushing teeth before they expire ?
Acuvue and clear care peroxide hands down the only ones u need
Clear Care didn’t work for me. But Acuvue is the only solution besides saline that works for me.
I just started using the Opti Free rewetting drops. I have also used the Opti Free contact lens solution as well. I’d recommend it!

What nonsense re generic solution bashing
I have a question let’s say I buy opti free I do have sensitive eyes and really want colored contacts with no prescription only for special occasions let’s say I buy those cleaning contact machines I don’t need to rub them right? The machine will do it for me do I still need to have the solution wait for 6 hours even though the machine says “clean for 3-5 minutes” and I wanted to get clear care but people have gotten burn even after the 6 hour period mark??
I assume you are.talkijg about the vibrating cleaners? You won't have to rub your lenses if you do that, but you still want it to smoke in a disinfecting solution. If you leave the contacts in the clear care solution for 6 hours you won't get burned. The solution is water at point.....as long as you have been replacing the case at recommended times.
@@DrEyeGuy Which solution do you recommend ? For cleaning disinfecting comfortable ? And how often do I clean them? Let’s say I use them occasionally and they are yearly lenses ? And Do I have to go to an eye doctor for color contacts with no prescription this is all new to me sorry but I really want colored contacts :)
You do want to get a prescription for them from you eye doctor. Colored contacts are know for being not very breathable on the eye and you want to make sure they won't damage your eyes by your eye doc. Sometimes the contacts come in these little jars, and you can store them in there with the multipurpose solution, like puremoist. But you have to remember to change the solution every month or so.
@@DrEyeGuy oh ok I was thinking of getting yearly contacts and if it’s safe to change the solutions morning and night like before brushing teeth before they expire ?
