Best Contact Lenses for Astigmatism - Toric Contacts Review

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

⚡⚡⚡ 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?

[@ladyinara2789]

I have been wearing the acuvue dailys. Hadn't had any problems until today when I couldn't get my left eye (the trouble one) to focus. Only had them in for like 4 hours hoping it would get better, but it didn't. Decided to take them out because I was leaving work for the day. BTW just found our videos and love them already. Your answering questions I have had a while. Thank you!

[@campfanny]

I've tried these 3 toric dailies....MyDays, Acuvue moist and Clariti1. They ALL get dry on me but Clairti1 feel the best. The other two brands leaves me constantly reaching for those wetter drops Opti-free moist. Dr A, I'm going to get the Dailies total 1 hoping they feel better.

[@PhillipRauschkolb]

air optix for astigmatism, and thanks to your tip about putting the line at 6 o'clock when putting them in I love them again! Can't believe my provider(s) have never told me about that, I've been wearing them for years without knowing that trick. Now they are in focus when I put them in and they stay that way all day!

[@robertelder5770]

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.

[@annidang1377]

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!

[@TokyoKazama]

[@Jessw23]

I have the SAME issue !! I got prescribed Acuvue Oasys originally but I have dry eyes and I asked for moist and they move around all the time and they burn my eyes when I put them in in the morning sometimes.

[@DavidMurr3]

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!

[@theresanelson9666]

I started wearing contacts six months ago and I can’t seem to get a clear vision at all. And I almost feel like I’m being a pain in the rear end to my eye doctor because I’m always asking questions about different contacts that don’t feel like they’re scratching my eye or moving around all the time. I still haven’t found any real good solutions this last one that I have tried was the Bosch and Lomb ultra that dr. Allen said worked for astigmatism but they were horrible as soon as I put them in my eye it hurt like I was poking my eye could not get them to sit well they moved around every time I blinked they tried to come out. Haven’t said anything to my eye doctor yet I’m afraid to say anything more this is my fourth pair of contacts the only one that felt like it was even close was Acuvue moist. I need help

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.

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 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.

[@inatci_keci]

same here, i used the acuvue oasys lenses for 3 month and my eyes began to be very dry. biofinity is more comfortable.

[@emiliac8480]

Thanks for making this video, Dr. It helps me realize I was actually fitted with Coopervision XR Toric at my local eye doctor's office. My cyl was -4.25 on one eye and -2.75 on the other. After months of trying, I still couldn't get a clear vision with any of those contact lenses. I still can't drive at night because of my astigmatism, and can't read signs on the highway during the day. What's interesting is I can't find any doctor around town that can fix my astigmatism with either eye glasses or contact lenses, EXCEPT for one doctor from a prestigious hospital here in CA. He is probably the best eye doctor I have ever had, but unfortunately he relocated to another state. What I don't understand is all the eye doctors did what they could do but nothing helped and a couple of them brought up toric IOL, yet in fact one doctor could correct my vision with just glasses. Is there any secret to finding a good eye doctor that can do what others can't especially with astigmatism? I have tried almost all doctors I can find locally.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Perhaps searching for a clinic that specializes in "hard to fit" contact lenses or specialty lenses. These offices tend to have some better equipment in regards to measuring the curvature to the eye. I have had good success with fitting specialty scleral lenses in individuals with high astigmatism as well. Otherwise I really hope you can find someone to help you.

[@Robert_W7]

I have a Coopervision XR Toric for my right eye. My left is not XR.

[@roxannemua9350]

what about just sticking to glasses i have high amounts of astigmatism as well and i just wear glasses are you near sighted or far sighted also have you considered having lasik eye surgery ?

[@hyacinth7875]

I had the exact same experience as you. The problem was with the axis. So we had to try out a bunch of lenses until i myself mixed and matched and saw what worked best. I just got lucky with that. But my optician was just guessing which axis to put me on because i could tell he was already getting impatient with me coming back and saying i wasnt happy with the prescription he was giving me lol

[@6tlj]

I had been wearing the Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism product for decades, but (unbeknownst to me until I recently tried to order another year's supply) they discontinued the higher powers at the end of last year. I had no idea or I would have ordered 2 years supply! Now I have been trying multiple other brands and simply cannot achieve the same stability and comfort that I had with the Oasys product. They best I have found is the Cooper Vision Toric product, but even then I typically have issues with blurry vision upon initial insertion (I will try the 6 o'clock trick going forward, thanks for that tip!), and even at various times throughout the day. It seems that after about 6 hours of wear I need to start using hourly (or more frequent) drops to keep my eyes moist, as the contacts feel "sticky" and dont' adjust as quickly/well on my eyes as I blink and move my eyes around. Sometimes taking them out, rinsing them, and reinserting helps as well. This is al very frustrating, especially once you've become accustomed to the stable vision offered by the Accuvue Oasys product. If anyone at Accuvue is reading this, please, PLEASE bring back the production of that product in the higher powers!

[@corneliusoliver7984]

My dr fit me in Oasys 1 Day for Astimatism. I do not have to look for the mark and the blink keeps the lens in place when you look all over. The old lenses are thick on the bottom and influenced by gravity and head position. They also have UV protection. You mentioned those last and from my dr, his family and myself.....those are the best! I wore two of the others you mentioned.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Great to hear you have found a lens that works for you! Acuvue lenses often have either a blink stabilized design for their toric lenses, but some do have a prism ballast.

[@kaitoyuu1925]

I went to a few opticians and they simply gave me whichever contacts they have without doing any tests (other than checking my glasses). I went to 1 optometrist and they didn't seem too convincing either. Can you do a video on what eye doctors usually do to fit a patient with contacts? And who should I go to for a fitting? Seeing an eye doctor is an overkill here, usually we'd see an optician for regular glasses and an optometrist for a comprehensive eye test. If I'm seeing an ophthalmologist my eyes are in deep trouble or I'm doing eye surgery. Please and thank you!

yeah, i'm also kind-of in the market for 'costume lenses' --also with astigmatism; I'm kinda skeptical of the sites I've found so far, but i'll check out toricolor

[@funkycrackhead367]

Hey there! You can look into Desio contact lenses for astigmatism

[@cyclonegamingye5014]

THANK YOU SO MUCH.. I REALLY NEEDED THESE YOU JUST CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE 😭😢 THANK U

[@chickenstripper7755]

My opticians told me my astigmatism was too severe to wear contacts but I’ve also been told I can aswell

[@GingeryR]

Your channel has helped me so much. Thank you!

[@nestorenriquez3284]

I've been in the optical for five years and honestly speaking, biofinity is the best contact lens. We had patients who had worn air optix (that's the brand we recommend the most because of incentives) for so long then, out of the blue decided to wear other brand. I recommended the Biofinity. She was so happy how comfortable it was. Unfortunately, biofinity is out of the market, for the reason IDK! So, I recommended Purevision 2 by Bausch & Lomb, she felt the same comfort as the biofinity. After that, I always recommend Purevision 2. I hope that they offer toric lenses on stock because it takes 3 mos to order. As per observation this is the list of best contact lenses based on our patient's response. (For monthly use only) I never had a chance to know acuvue oasys (because it's out the market too) but there were a lot patients still looking for this so I recommend the Purevisin 2 as an alternative. Biofinity (cheapest unfortunately out of the market) Purevision 2 Soft lens (also by B&L their cheapest version) O2 Optix ( the cheaper version of air optix aqua and most of the patients stick with this) Air optix

[@nestorenriquez3284]

Anyways, air optix aqua is outrageously expensive but because of high incentives we still push this brand. I''m not saying this is not a good brand but we had patients who made negative feedback. Unlike the Biofinity, whenever there is a patient who's a former wearer of air optix to look for another brand, I never hesitate to offer this eventhough the price is half of the air optix. Never had a negative response.

[@CesarMartinez-vt7zl]

My eye doctor gave me three trial pair lenses : Air Optix Hydroglyde , Bio infinity Cooper Vision and Alcon Total 30 and BIOINIFITY is by far the best

[@crzy4muzic611]

Biofinity was soooo hard to remove from my eye

[@Hollister74]

I got mine today and in is a sinch out I ended up giving myself a pretty good poke!

[@sjmuffler1]

Drip a drop saline in the eye and blink once then remove.... boom

[@paulinejavier1400]

That happened to me everytime I used a new pack... eventually switched to a diff brand

[@generallyuninterested4956]

I had this problem too

[@DianaJimenez-hc8fj]

I second that.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

I am currently using the Alcon Precision 1 lenses , daily, for astigmatism. They have been more comfortable than any other lenses I have tried but I have to use drops several time a day to help with dry eyes. Thank you for the information. My eye Dr. has told me none of the info you shared.

[@punkkimiko]

I have astigmatism and i just gave up trying to use contact lenses

[@NicoleRAINMusic]

I have worn Biofibity for a few years, they are by far the best as far as vision and comfort is concerned, by then my Optometrist informed me that they didn't carry my RX and I had to try a few other brands but none of them are as comfortable or as clear as Biofinity.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Sorry to hear that, it stinks that a lot of contact lens brands don't manufacture all Rx options.

[@mbal079]

I've used acuvue oasys for years and was just recently placed with SofMed advanced breathables (apparently it's a rebranded Cooper vision Avaira ) these are the most comfortable toric lenses I've used. I could always tell I was using lenses with the acuvue and with the SofMed(CV Avaira) I can't really feel them at all!

[@AviationPilot91]

I haaatttee Avaita. They were plastered to my eye after 7 hours and I couldn't remove them easily.

[@dianadinh2554]

I recently got contacts for astigmatism for my right eye and it’s so far uncomfortable. It’s so blurry which makes my whole vision unfocus the whole day. Hopefully I will find the right contact lenses for me tomorrow!!!

[@wadallace]

How do you feel about the MyDay Toric lenses from cooper vision compared to the Biofinity toric?

[@Aricwolf1937]

I have wore the the pure vision contacts for about 13 years now always been comfortable and I have astigmatism in my left eye and it’s a toric lens

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Base curve, at least for me, seems too vary massively from brand to brand and with the different materials they use. After reading a few articles I took the leap of ordering online with a lower base curve and they are the best lenses I have ever worn. B.C. really seems to depend on material type and diameter (which can also vary) and whether it is a daily lens/toric etc.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Well there is more to lens design than whats showcased in this video. Each brand and lens has a different lens edge and based on the material...one lens may be more comfy than another. In general, a lot of people tend ot find tighter fitting lenses with a smaller B.C. to be more comfy.

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

It would be interesting to learn more about how lenses are made and the technology behind them. They certainly seem to have come a long way in recent years. Thanks for the comment!

[@theVoid524]

My eye doctor just hooked me up with the brand new Precision 1 lenses for astigmatism. I think they just came out with them and so far, I love them!

[@maymay4693]

I got them too and now they're on back-order until mid-January. Trying to find a replacement.

[@_multiverse_]

I have tried the Oasis 1 day lenses and they were awful, my eyes would get extremely dry within an hour of use....I stopped contacts for over a year after trying those. Currently I'm trying out the B&L ultra, it's only been two days so I'm not super used to them yet. They seem much better than the Oasis as I wore them for 4 hours yesterday and 10 hours today, I can't comment on vision as they aren't my exact prescription as they were a trial pair from my eye doctor.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

I like the Ultra lens too. Glad your liking them. Ultra is a newer design vs the Oasys and may just fit your eyes better. Which solution does your doctor recommend for you? If you dont mind me asking.

[@_multiverse_]

My doctor gave me B&L bio true solution

[@joaopedroaguiarfmatos1473]

Thanks dude i was searching for this

[@angelicagodinez5912]

Dude! His blue eyes are mesmerizing lol

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Thanks!

[@Mwalipeace]

WOW! Great information about that line on my Toric contact lenses. I had no idea. Thank You so much for sharing!

[@VanlifeReality]

Okay my eye sight keeps going in and out of focus, every pair of glasses and contacts will work for a bit of the day and not sometimes, and I have to get a new perception every year. It's getting to the point where I feel like Lasik is the only way to get clear vision

[@VictorRamirez-ce3mp]

I been wearing Air Optix for astigmatism, but have experienced dryness and sometimes they can be not comfortable. So I ask my doctor to let me try new brands since I went for my annual check up. He gave me Ultra and Oasys biweekly. Hopefully I find Ultra Bausch well since they look more budget friendly for a student . Thanks for your video.

[@MegaCarmen1994]

I've always wondered why I couldn't just wear any regular prescription contacts having astigmatism.

[@forrest1979]

Been wearing toric lenses in my left eye for many years. It's worth trying different brands. Started with Acuvue, which were constantly tearing on me. Went through them twice as fast as the right lens. They were also not that confortable. Now I use the B&L Ultra and they feel excellent and my vision is clear. Didn't know about lining up the hash mark. And I've moved a lot, been to a lot of eye doctors. Thanks for the info.

[@laurabowe9426]

the tearing is driving me nuts with Bioinfinity. I go through at least two pairs a month and they're supposed to last a month.

[@Lucaat]

I always found the osays to be the most comfy. Technically I would need more than the -2.75 cyl offered, but vision is good enough. I might try the Biofinity XR at some point to get the -3.25

[@sarthakdua7093]

Interesting, I have 2.75 CYL, and most brands only go up to 2.25, gotta try the 2.25 ones as well

[@elizeth_jimenez]

Hi 👋 I’m optometrist too, greetings from Mexico.

[@GGundamBlue]

I’m wearing biofinity cooper visions and I go blurry and is clear I turn my head and my vision is clear it’s so inconsistent idk if I need toric or not

[@pitbull82]

Same problem I had. Trialing the Oasys right now and no inconsistent vision anymore!

[@ManuelFresh100]

Wow thanks for the info! I had no idea about the edge mark. I had thought that it was an indicator that the lens was breaking🤣 I love the Biofinity Toric brand and have been wearing them for years!

[@MR-sf1gc]

What contact lens do you recommend for people who work on a computer all day?
