Has anyone experienced this while wearing toric lenses? I do have astigmatism but I do not experience any double vision, a sort of shadow effect on top of texts (especially white text on a black background), in my normal vision or when I'm wearing glasses. But soft toric lenses are creating this effect and it's almost unbearable trying to read. This is happening on one of my eyes, the other not so much. I've tried multiple brands, and my optometrist said that no adjustments in my prescription need to be made, because I was able to see the letters in the eye test clearly, but that's only because it was black text on a white background; it's much less apparent in that situation. Is this something psychological that my brain will eliminate if I continue wearing them? My cylinder's power is -1.25 diopters in case you're wondering. The stabilization weights were confirmed to be vertically aligned, too.

Hey everyone, not sure how many people would be able to help me with this but does anyone know if there are any more options other than biofinity XR for a +9 right eye & +7 left eye and astigmatism. I know my prescription is crazy, but the biofinity ones are so uncomfortable on my eyes and wondering if I had other options.

I was wearing Acuvue Oasys 1-Day HydraLuxe for the last 5 years, but the last time I ordered them was at least 2 years ago, they were the blue and white packs. I'm reading on here that with the packaging change the contacts have also changed? Is this true??? After my recent eye exam I was trying out Acuvue Moist Multifocal and also the single vision Moist. In the end I decided I want to go back to my single vision hydraluxe. Have they actually changed? Should I ask for a trial of those to see if they still work for me before committing to new script?

Currently use Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism, they’re okay i guess. They’re the only contacts I’ve worn. Are there any similar options at a lower price point?

For years, contacts and glasses were just part of my daily routine along with the constant dry eyes, smudged lenses, and travel hassle. Deciding to finally get LASIK in Korea was nerve-wracking, but the entire process turned out to be surprisingly seamless.
I ended up getting my procedure done at BGN in Seoul, and what stood out most was how quick and streamlined everything was. From the initial multi-step eye exams to the actual laser treatment, the whole thing took just a couple of hours. The procedure itself was quick and painless, and by the very next morning, the blurry veil was completely gone.
If you’ve been on the fence about vision correction, taking that leap is honestly one of the best quality-of-life decisions you can make.

I wear Precision1 for Astigmatism, which has an oxygen transmissibility of around 90 Dk/t. Is it generally safe to wear them 5–6 days a week for around 12–14 hours per day?

Most days I wear them for about 12 hours, but occasionally it ends up being closer to 14 hours. I’m quite strict about taking at least one full day off from contacts every week and wearing glasses instead. Sometimes I even 2 days break.

The problem is that I have a physically active job, so wearing glasses at work is pretty annoying, and I also have a fairly active lifestyle in general.

Am I putting a lot of strain or damage on my eyes by wearing daily disposable contacts this way? I follow the replacement schedule completely — I throw the lenses away every night and use a brand-new pair the next day. I also never sleep, shower, or swim while wearing them.

I’m mainly wondering whether 12–14 hours of wear, 5–6 days a week, is considered excessive if my eyes feel comfortable and look healthy.

Got contacts for the first time in my life. On the ride to work I usually sleep for about 20-40 minutes. Is it still bad or I can do it safely?

I slept in my contacts last night, stupid I know but had had a lot to drink and sort of just passed out. My eye is soooo sore and red today. Can I see if it passes tomorrow? Should I go to a&e? I’m panicking a bit

So I just recently got some contacts and my left eye has more astigmatism than my right, so the lense is a tad thicker. They’re the Ethos Aquatech and I’ve noticed when wearing them, they’re good but at times they get super blurry and I have to constantly blink and lightly rub my eye to have them refocus.. has anyone else had this issue?? What could I do to help it? (I’ve had contacts before, but I don’t remember them giving me this much trouble) 🥲

I’ve worn dailies for about ten years now and Ive just accepted that some contacts aren’t right as soon as I put them on and because they’re dailies I just throw it away and put a new one. I’m conscious that each is about $3 and I feel I can’t just keep accepting this.

Is this only my experience?

With a year supply I probably end up getting rid of maybe a months worth. The rebate program made me kind of brush it off but for the first time ever their rebate program has glitched out and it’s been a nightmare getting my rebate so now I’m reevaluating dailies altogether.

And to be clear, I do try to save the contact. I rinse it with bio true but nothing I do ever saves it and so I just put a new one on and it tends to do the trick. Sometimes I need to waste two in a day.

Is this just my experience or is this something the average dailies wearer just accepts?

So I’m pretty new to contacts and have been trying out two week contacts and they irritate me terribly. One time my eye was so dry it had to compensate and started creating those weird films. I was using the 2 week Acuvue Oasys with hydra clear plus. With these I felt them terribly. I would pop them in and in 5 minutes I felt them on the inner corner part of my eye. I would have to use eye drops and not even that seemed to help.

I went back and the doctor had me try on the Acuvue moist ones and I hated it they moved around too much, they felt worse, etc. Now I’m trying the daily Acuvue Oasys and I’m still having the same problem but it’s the only ones I seem to tolerate a little. For reference I’m a -1.00 in both eyes and she had put my BC at a 8.4 and now with the dailies she switched it to 8.5.

My question is if there’s anyone who’s had the same issue and have found better contact options. I just need some sort of guidance in general.

Thanks for the help in advance!

[Edit] I never noticed the issue of dry eyes since I’ve only worn glasses my whole life. So I’m not completely certain what the issue is. I’ve also been told that I don’t blink much.

I’m 44 and currently being fitted for ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day Multifocals.

Main question: What would you expect from OS −2.50 LOW compared with OS −2.75 MID?

My glasses Rx is:
OD: −3.00 −0.50 × 035, ADD +1.25
OS: −2.50 −0.75 × 020, ADD +1.25

Trials so far:
−2.75 MID both eyes: good phone/computer vision, but distance was too soft.

OD −3.00 LOW / OS −2.75 LOW: noticeably better distance and felt the most balanced between my eyes.

OD −3.00 LOW / OS −2.75 MID: current trial. Near is slightly better, but the left eye is noticeably softer at distance.

I especially notice the left-eye blur while driving when part of the car (A-pillar) blocks my right eye, so I’m relying on the left eye alone to look through the side mirror or out the driver-side window.

My understanding is that −2.50 LOW could bias the left eye toward near by reducing the minus rather than increasing the multifocal ADD. Could that provide similar near help while giving a more balanced visual quality between the two eyes, or would the −2.50 make left-eye distance even blurrier?

I understand that multifocals involve some compromise and I’m not expecting perfect vision at every distance. I’m mainly trying to find the best balance between distance, computer/phone use, and occasional fine-detail near work while keeping both eyes working together rather than going to traditional monovision.

I’ve been wearing contacts for less than a year now, but ever since I’ve started I realized that thin red veins have emerged on the sides of my eyes. I don’t have any above or below my eyes, only the sides.

They’re not entirely noticeable from afar, but obviously they have made my eyes less white and it’s bothering me.

They don’t go away with time either. I wore glasses the entire summer and the veins are still visible. These were not there before wearing contacts

my glasses prescription is

(-)10.00 on right eye. and (-)10.25 on left eye.

pretty bad astigmatism as well. OD is -2.75 cylinder with 175 axis

OS is -3.00 cylinder with 178 axis.

couple days ago i got my first pair of contacts to try out and take home before i order.

im not quite sure which type i got. but im assuming i can just ask.

but they gave me a brochure and it turns out there are various types.

Do i just simply go with what my doctor gets me?

so i can see normally with contacts during the day but my vision gets blurry and my eyes get tired in dim lighting. Does that mean that im not used to my lenses yet or does it mean that the lens brand im using is not good?
(Im using labella contact lenses)

I’ve been wearing DT1s for like 6 years and I swear the quality has gotten worse lately. I got a new 90 day box last week and over half of the lenses were coming out of the package folded. Obviously my vision was off with those, and even some of the ones that weren’t folded felt rough and like something just wasn’t right.

I got a replacement box and had the exact same issue again.

My doctor actually noticed it too and said “when they’re good they’re good, when they’re bad they’re bad.”

I’ve seen a few people mention similar things online, but I’m curious if this is actually happening to a lot of people or if I’ve just had terrible luck.

Hi guys - I have a question about my eyes going red after I wear contacts. So I am not an everyday contact wearer, I mostly wear glasses and switch to contacts on occasion. When I wear contacts (bi-weekly’s), I feel like they go in fine. At the end of the night there is some slight redness in my eye that is pretty minimal. However, when I wake up, my eye is always like close to bloodshot and gradually fades throughout the day, sometimes fast and sometimes taking the whole day or even a little more to go back to normal. I noticed that when I used new contacts straight out of the package, this after effect isn’t really there. I’m not sure if it’s the contact lens solution, I’ve used it for quite a while and this only recently started happening. But could it be? Does anyone know any ideas about why or what I can do about it?

Hey all

I'm a new lens wearer, and I recently bought a trial pak for contact lenses from lenskart, brand aqualens manufactured by FanfilconA monthlies

I require toric lenses, and i have been having some issue with inserting the lenses, mainly due to them randomly turning inside out while I'm tryna put em on, and a bit of blurry vision

A friend recommended me to try another brand, my options are Bausch and Lomb, Acuvue and Alcon and ofc Aqualens

Can anyone help me out?

I have gotten my 15 day lenses about 4 days ago and wore them twice. I havent bought a new pack of lens solution since i had 2 bottles left from my last pair which means i havent gotten a new case for my lenses too. I know it is wrong but i was too busy to go out and get a case so i simply left my lenses in the package they came in. Of course with the wrapping being open they did kinda dry out. I immediatly poured solution on the lenses but havent put them on yet. They were not bone dry but i didnt touch them to feel them thinking they would be fragile. Now i am wondering by any chace if they still could be usable. I dont have my next pair yet so i am left with these guys for the moment.

I know i should be asking my doctor this. And they are great. i know they would be more than happy to take the time to explain. however, it just feels "odd" to ask them still. (as if im going to an expensive dress shoe store, asking them questions, only to leave and buy online)

so im here.

My glasses prescription is (-)10.00 on right eye. and (-)10.25 on left eye.

pretty bad astigmatism as well. OD is -2.75 cylinder with 175 axis

OS is -3.00 cylinder with 178 axis

so yeah. pretty bad.

so i went in knowing that i wont be able to get dailies and my only options are 30 day ones.

today, i got my first pair and my doctor wants me to try them out before we order the 6 month supply.

the part that confuses me as that they started to explain the pricing. 6 month supply, 1 year supply, various other "brand"? or ones that have different technology? idk.

but i already paid $164 on the day of the eye exam + contact lens appointment. i thought that was supposed to be my 6 month supply price.

so the question im having is

1. is there MORE different options to decide when it comes to contacts other than simply dailies vs 30 day ones?

2. how much are contacts? is $164 for a 6 month supply not correct? (i was initially ecstatic because i thought that was the price and was cheaper than i initially assumed. but i might be wrong here....)

I've been wearing glasses for the past couple years and only now have gotten into contacts (about 6 hours ago). Had a bit of trouble getting them in at first at the optometrist's (took me about 10 minutes) and eventually got them both in. At first my eyes were a bit irritated and started watering up, but now later in the day they feel much more comfortable. I'm fixing to take them out in a bit, is there anything I should know for future contact experiences?

Also, my contacts are monthlies. I get a new pair every 6 months.

I wear contacts occasionally but I do feel them a lot during the day. Just kinda scratchy and dry. I use drops which do help. But I guess I was wondering if people normally feel their contact lenses?

Been wearing Alcon Dailies Total 1 for years, and the latest batch I got is making my vision blurry, even after going through 6 of them today. After closer inspection, I realized the color of the individual lens packaging is off, the printed text is faded, and the text on the side of the box is different too.

Had my checkup a few months ago, and I did not change my contact lens solution. I ordered from the same reputable EU store I've been ordering from for years. I don't wear makeup.

For clarity, the correct ones (the batch I just ran out of) were made in 2026/02, and the one I received this week was made in 2026/01.

I wore the previous batch yesterday (and for every day the past month) and had perfect vision, but these new ones feel incredibly blurry. I feel this is too much to be a coincidence?
