⚡⚡⚡ QOTD: Which Contact Lenses do you wear? Which ones are your favorite and Why? Do you have any other questions about the lenses discussed in the video?

I've been wearing toric lenses for NINE YEARS and this is the first time I'm hearing about that mark that tells you what position to put the lens in, its changed my life, Why has nobody told me this

[stratmister]

Professionals behind the desk are rarely this helpful, thank you, thank you!

[carolinerae]

More helpful than 15 years of going to the optometrist. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[putifaerio]

Why did i have to spend decades visiting opticians without receiveing any explanation and now i found your videos in youtube so clear! Wonderful!

[edukate_eng]

Thank you for this video. I'm choosing contact lenses for astigmatism for the first time and it's really hard to find reliable info on the internet about different brands.
Thank you, very helpful

[bradystanley]

I recommend pure vision toric for astigmatism. The contacts are super clear and they have a lower water gradient of 36% which is excellent for people who suffer from dry eyes!

Hi! I wear Cooper Vision Biofinity Toric XR. Been wearing them for about 4 years now. I used other Cooper Vision models prior. I started wearing soft contacts at age 17. First pair was American Hydron. I would say Cooper Vision has been the best brand for me. I have had many different brands over the years and I have a lot of astigmatism. I don’t understand why other companies don’t increase their power ranges like Cooper Vision. They are able to do it but for some reason only want to fit the more common astigmatism patient.

The biofinity toric Rx provides crystal clear vision. The lenses never go blurry. I actually forget they are on my eyes. Very comfortable.

The first time I got contact lenses, my doctor prescribed me 1-day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism. The problem of that lense is that the diameter is 14.5 which was really difficult for me to put in my eyes and also causing irritations. Then I switched to Acuvue Oasys, and it just got so much better. Because the diameter is 14.3, it's so easy to put in, especially for someone like me who just started wearing contact lenses. And it's so comfortable that I can wear them all day for 15+ hours and still feel like wearing nothing at all. I also tried Clariti 1-day Toric, but as soon as I put them in, my eyes started being drier and drier. So my favorite is still Acuvue Oasys!

[keyara]

Don't mind me, I'm just binge watching your videos because I got my contact lenses an hour ago and your videos are really informative 😂❤️

[DavidMurr]

I'm using the Acuvue Oasys toric dailies. I trialed a few other types with my optometrist, but these were the most comfortable for me. Took me about a month of daily wear to really get used to them, but a few months after starting to wear contacts, I don't even notice that I have them on. Up until about six months ago, I'd always worn eyeglasses. Love the switch; my vision is much sharper with contacts!

[bryannanicole]

Imagine being your real life client and then finding out your a mini youtube celeb. Wild.

[万萦佳]

OMG that 6 o'clock tip is gold! Makes so much sense why it always takes a long time for me to get clear vision

[alexnanoreef]

you just changed my life. i've been putting that mark the wrong way. i've always used the mark at 12 o clock

[shayleeford]

I previously used acuvue moist for astigmatism, but I found that they made my eyes feel very dry and irritated, even though they were daily wear lenses. I’m now trying biofinity toric, and I find them to be more comfortable but a bit more difficult to remove, which is a good thing I suppose, considering I once sneezed one of the old lenses right out of my eye.

[jemtamor]

I'm a first time wearer and I started off with the ACUVUE Oasys 1-Day lenses cause I wanted to try the thinner ones first to get accustomed to them. Your videos actually also helped me a lot in finally deciding to get one! I haven't seen things so clearly without my glasses for almost 20 years and it's such an awesome experience every time I wear my new contacts. So thank you so much for sharing all of these information. I keep learning more and more from you and am very grateful.

[rajprakash]

I recently tried Acuvue and really loved it. It was like looking a HD movie and the whole city of Melbourne was looking like a different world for me. Also watched a movie in theater and enjoyed it like never before in life.

[prodigalflower]

I've worn these lenses from cooper and.... oh my WORD! I loved these contacts, they are so comfortable and you forget that their in your I highly recommend them to anyone who has astigmatism.

[butterscotch]

I’ve always had the Acuvue types of contacts and for years since the Oasys came out I loved them! I even tried a trial of a different brand for monthly that didn’t work out for me with my astigmatism, it felt like my eyes were very dry and almost heavy feeling! I even had trouble taking them out. So I let my eye doctor know how I felt about the monthly’s and just kept with my Acuvue Oasys since I love them so much.

I use Proclear Toric. My optician first recommended the XR Toric but it made my eyes red after a few hours (4hours). The Proclear however was better with longer use. It never made my eyes red like the RGP or the XR. It took us almost 6 months to figure out the right prescription. I even discovered it myself by mixing and matching.
