✅ QOTD: Have you tried Clear Care Plus or any ultrasonic contact lens cases?

[lilypianoforte]

I’m so happy doctors are starting youtube channels cause I learn the most basic things that somehow went through life not knowing... like how to properly clean contacts or that you need to wear sunscreen everyday etc

[hiphugger]

I am glad that when I first got contacts in HS 23 yrs ago, the eye doc taught me how to clean my contacts with the first two methods. And stressed proper handwashing and drying. He was very old but literally the best eye doctor ever.

[theambergryphon]

I tried the 10 second steady stream thing and almost emptied the entire bottle

[donnalrosenberg]

This was extremely helpful. I had a lesson at my eye doc but they did not go over the cleaning very well. I did not know you actually rub the lens. I was just popping them back in the lens case with clean solution! Thanks so much!

i'm a new prescription contact wearer, and I've found your video's extremely helpful and useful. My contacts are the Acuvue Oasis for Astigmatism. I've been watching your video's trying to find the best solution for my contacts (currently experiencing my left contact feels uncomfortable after an hour or two wearing them) I've tried almost all popular brands to know avail, but yesterday I was at the store and saw the Blink/Acuvue solution and tried that, and you were 100% correct in saying that they are almost made for each other. I've gone a 9 hours so far today and have not had to add eye drops at all! Thank you again for your helpful videos!

[whoa]

I just got contacts and this was very helpful!

[marshaebradbury]

Wow....I’ve worn contacts for 8 years and never read the instructions. I just thought you filled up the case and BOOM done. That steady stream rinse thing... never did that either lol no wonder my contact solution would last forever 😂

[danniea]

Damn dude where have you been in the last 14 years haha!!! I’m happy you made a channel to share your knowledge people need you!

[shanarosseel]

The moment when a youtube channel delivers more information than the eye doctor. This video was such a help. Just got my contacts about a week ago and cleaning correctly really does make a difference. I was told to just put the lenses in the case and pour the cleaning solution in. I’ve started doing the gentle rubbing after watching this and it makes them so more comfortable to wear.

After two years of only wearing contact lenses and changing to glasses during the entire year of 2020 this video was so useful because I forgot the basics of wearing contact lenses, so thank you so much for reminding me i feel better to start again

[brie]

Thank you!! I have just started wearing colored contacts for fun, (I’m 13 and wanted to experiment a bit.) I did extensive research and was cleaning every time I took them out and put them in. They were so uncomfortable! It turns out I wasn’t cleaning them long enough, I was cleaning in my palm for 5-10 seconds. This time I cleaned them in my palm for 30 seconds, and they feel much better! Thank you so much!

[mikegyver]

This is my first day with contacts. Your videos were extremely helpful and improved my confidence in removing them. And of course in this video in particular, more info on cleaning them. Thank you for this!

[rfahy]

Thank you for this video! My eye doctor just gave me contacts for the 1st time and never showed me anything about inserting/removing or cleaning the contacts. Everything I learned about contacts I got by watching your channel or searching on the internet. Great channel!

[uynotik]

Thank You My Brother !!!
I`m 68 and this is my 3rd day of wearing contact lenses and "WOW" and I didn`t realize how blind I was :)
What a breakthru in life this has become !
I`ve watched just about every one of your videos, thus, making this transition has been a piece of cake :)
You are a blessing to a lot of consumers that have been nervous and apprehensive about taking the plunge on wearing contact lenses !

OmG this is iconic! I found this channel around a week or so when I was looking to see what brand was better for my contacts, y last night I was thinking on this! How to clean my contacts!! Lol I love this doctor!!!

[axstin-]

I wear daily lenses but this information is still extremely important for all contact wearers for a few reasons. Sometimes, I may just want to take a short nap, and for that ill have to take off my contacts and put them in a case. I was taught how to clean contacts but I was never taught how to clean a case and whatnot. Another reason why this is important is because, if I ever choose down the line to switch to bi-weekly contacts or monthly contacts, ill know exactly what to do. This information was very valuable and I learned a lot from this video. Thank you, Doctor.

When I was 18 I scratched my cornea because I was wearing a contact with a small tear. I had to go to the ER. Doesn’t sound serious it it was excruciatingly painful.

[luisjoaquin]

I have been wearing contacts since middle school, since 2014, and I have tried almost all solutions. I just switched to clean care hydrogen peroxide, although it’s slightly more expensive, and it was the best decision ever. The comfort of my contacts have increased drastically. I always tend to get blurry vision when I’m driving or when I’m focused on staring at something when I was on solutions but with hydrogen peroxide that’s all gone. I’d say experiment and find what you like.

[Jojokitten]

Love your videos, I've worn contacts since 1988, and I've learned more about my lenses and care watching these videos than i have over the last 32 years!!!!
Well done, glad I found you
