[@dolphingirl1987kt]

I love the clean care plus!

I used to use clear care often then stopped for some reason and started again recently but lost the little device you put your contacts in for it so I used just a regular contact container and ouch! Now I know why it didn't work - turns out the device is just as important as the solution! Thanks doc!

[@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.

Coz of covid19 I didn't visit my doc and I ordered contacts for the first time..this video and other video on contacts for beginners really helped me

@@boogabooga3837 I put them straight in, but only after waiting the minimum soaking time (usually 6 hours). You can rinse them with fresh saline solution, though the remaining solution after 6 hours of soaking in the case is saline.

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.

Clear Care is the best that I have tried. My contacts stay pretty comfortable for most of the month with no rubbing required. But more importantly, the satisfaction of seeing the bubbles still hasn't worn off for me. And just a silly observation that amuses me: I've seen a few videos showing how to use Clear Care that point out the "little R" in the corner of the blue basket, but I don't think I've seen anybody point out the much bigger L on the center of the other basket 😄

[@Joe-hx8mg]

This was very interesting and an important reminder. I just switched from daily lenses to two-week toric lenses and have had to remember the entire cleaning regimen. I like BioTrue best but have used Puremoist and also ClearCare. I did find ClearCare dried out my lenses which meant I had to use more rewetting drops through the day. I find BioTrue and Puremoist keep my eyes hydrated. I have been wearing contacts for over 50 years and today's lenses are a wonderful experience compared to hard lenses or the first generation of soft lenses I wore in the 70's

Love clear care! Important note though. I've had experiences where I rinsed off my contacts with a different contact disinfecting solution and then put it in the clear care case/solution and it caused an overreaction to bubble up too much and overflow/not have enough solution covering the lenses. Awesome solution but be careful with reactions. Especially the HydraGlyde, that one is more finicky than the classic one!

I am trying on my monthly lenses for the first time today so this video will be really helpful

[@patricka.9982]

clear care makes my contacts feel like I just opened a new pair.

[@shadowandholly]

I'm scared to try it because of the risk it might burn 😵

[@gateway833]

Kyomi if you're super concerned, put the clear care case near a windoe, because light accelerates the breaking down of the hydrogen peroxide. After 8 hours you'll be fine there will be no hydrogen peroxide remaining in the container and will be saline. Make sure when you get a new box of clear care, TO THROW AWAY THE OLD CONTACT LENS CASE and use the new one in the box. As long as you follow the instructions on the box basically though you'll be okay.

[@c12-116]

@@gateway833 how long does clear case lasts before throwing it out

[@howlmaiden]

[@esmeraldadessire8514]

I've been using contact lenses for a couple of years and I just learned how to clean them correctly 😅🙈thanks Dr.... I just have one question: Are we supposed to clean them even if we don't use them everyday or they can stay at the cases until the next use?🤔

[@jesusrmzilva1426]

You can likely find that in you solution’s instructions, but most solutions say that you can store your contacts in it for about a month without having to replace the liquid. But you still have to give them a proper rub and soak overnight.

[@drchriscoco]

Tried it made my eyes feel dry after 8hrs of wearing my contacts ! Your video really helped me to confirm that the product was’nt for me!

[@gigislookbook]

Absolutely love this video! So beneficial! Thank you doctor

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Happy to help!

[@juliaann27]

I just watched your video and it was very informative to me. I just got contacts for the first time yesterday so this morning I was unsure of my steps before putting them in. Your video answered all of my questions. Thank you.

[@sameehasultan304]

Please recommend type of lenses for me, I am using frsh look contact lenses for last 12 years.. now I am looking for some more quality

[@awarthestel]

Thank you for covering ultrasonic lens cleaners! My prescription is funky so I can only get monthly contact lenses and I wasn't sure if these were a gimmick.

[@a.samadkhan9599]

Sir when ever I wear contact lenses after 4/5 hours my right eye become reb and my eyes is become reddish and small and it irrated me any help please

[@swethanagarajan4651]

Sss ..same problem sir... tell me how to overcome this

[@meganb0711]

Try eyedrops your eyes might not be lubricated enough

[@ferno953]

I had the same problem.. What I did was..for 1 week,I didn't use contact lenses but cleaned it every day with plenty of solution.. And submerged it properly.. And at the end of the week the pain was gone.. I am not sure it will be working for you

[@msmagpie5620]

Get daily contact lenses,and you will be fine.

[@kaayleelynn3424]

I’m going to be trying contacts soon in a few days !!! I’m super nervous!! Thank you for this! You got a new subscriber 💕

[@teganwebb3506]

I just started wearing contacts and I don’t know which brand to order , my dr was nice enough to give me a few trail pairs while I’m deciding but I’m clueless as which brand is best.

[@rarri99]

I knew literally nothing about this, WOW thank you so much!!!!!

[@redragna3648]

To me the lenses deffintely feel way cleaner with a hydrogen peroxide solution but the contact also feel drier after having them in that solution. What I do is, I use the hydrogen peroxide solution once a week to get the lenses really clean and use the multi purpose solution during the week. I have no idea if there is any actual benefit to this but it certainly makes my contacts feel clean for the whole month instead of having them feel really uncomfortable for the last week or so.

[@mugdhabora742]

My eye was irritating when i put on the contact lens today and i search in google and found out that it's dirty. So thanks for this video, it really helped a lot. I can wear it again now

[@mx310tuda7]

Good morning Dr Allen, I am a contact lens first time user and your videos have been very very helpful for me. The question I have for you today is that I had to go back to my Eye Dr about 4-5 times because they could not get/adjust a good sphere or power vision(?) so my eye Dr gave the multifocal assuming that because I'm a old dude but t I'm still not happy with my contacts, I can see 20/20 clear near like when sitting in my office desk, watching tv, or when eating but my major problem is that I cannot see far away objects like when being outside or driving, the vision is blurry. With regular glasses I can even read text as far as 150-200 feet depending on the size of the text but with these contacts I only distinguish large texts. What is going on? my glasses are cyl od -0.75 and os -0.25 and the contacts -0.25 and pl, why I can't see clearly with contacts? specially with my left eye, I'll very much appreciate any guide or assuring response. Thank you.

[@_kaebaby_]

Thanks for the info, I have a question! Do we rub and rinse the lenses only before putting them in or are we supposed to rub and rinse before putting in as well as before putting in case for the night? 🤔

[@drfuturity]

The instructions I have say to just rinse them when putting them in, but both rub/rinse after you take them out before they go into the case.

[@mikolover1000]

I have been wearing daily lenses for 2 years and I've only started watching this bc I'm interested in switching over to monthly but after watching this I'm convinced to bear the high cost of dailies so I don't have to clean my lenses every night 🙃 and risk not doing it properly and get an infection

[@danny.k1620]

Is there any contact lenses that can be use for long hours of working on computer ?

[@diannealesse6101]

thank you for your video I learned so much and I have been wearing conacts for 15 yrs. !

[@dumbbitchassfinger4765]

My eye doctor barely explained things to me, they didn’t even tell me that I wasn’t supposed to use the same cleaning solution over a day or that I was supposed to actually clean them (or rub them)☹️

[@c12-116]

That's common sense dumbass. You can see the solution getting dirty

[@wavyks2159]

I had noticed my eyes were super dry and my contacts were not sticking on my eye. I then started to properly take care of my contact lenses (actually rubbing it) and I realized that the contacts was much more comfortable to wear. Ps, I also suffered from an eye infection from wearing contaminated contact lenses. It definitely looks like a pink eye and it took about 2 days to get better.

[@marybluetharrington]

I have been wearing contacts for 15 years and only ever cleaned them with saline 😱 omg. I’m going out to buy disinfectant today.

[@Kirolovebiro]

Great video, very detailed & informative, thanks doc! I used 2week contact lens J&J and I have Opti free solution.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Nice! Must be oasys then. Have you tried the Transitions yet?

[@gondvilli]

How's it working for you??

[@Kirolovebiro]

Doctor Eye Health yes doc, oasys from J&J. I haven’t tried the transition lenses yet, we don’t have them here in Sweden yet. I watched your video about them as well 👍🏻

[@Kirolovebiro]

fly high .77 very well, I started with them in 2008 and so far so good.

[@geraldl1401]

I find oasys lenses shrink on eye and becomes non moving due to dry eyes.

[@1fives]

Thank you so much I been watch a few of ur videos. I been wearing glasses my whole life pretty much but I moving to contacts in a few weeks and all theses tip really r going to help!

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Hey thanks! I hope you love them

[@geraldl1401]

Hey DR.A.......do you recommend a daily cleaner as well prior to soaking/disinfecting with ClearCare plus?

[@suzie_lee2759]

Thank you, I didn't let it air dry. I used to rinse my case with water and put solution in it and shake it clean. Or I let the solution set there. Luckily nothing bad happened, but now I'll be doing it right

[@georgexz]

Hi @doctor eye health i was wondering what the lowest pescription or strength you can get from contact lenses as i am looking at contact lenses as i have a low prescription strength but get headaches.

[@jillcopeland7790]

I work in a vision center and we've heard if you use bio true and clear care it can dry out lenses we tell patients to use opti free. And with the clear care we recommend at least 8 hours not the 6 on the box.

[@Boonies]

I recently got contacts from olens, but I want to know for monthly contacts can I skip days or wearing them? Idk if that made sense but can I not wear them everyday and mix my contacts with my glasses?

[@vivekvare9603]

Did you got the answer?Even i want to know this!!

[@hillsxxx1186]

yes u can! your contact lenses can sit in the case with the same solution for over a month then make sure to change it (if u ever bought 6months or yearly contacts)

[@bethvillante3033]

Today was my first day wearing contacts and this was super helpful!!!! Thank you!

[@TheFallonCarrington]

Is it weird that I clean my lenses about 3 times before inserting them, and I clean my case 3 times prior to leaving it to dry and 3 times before putting my lenses in them to soak before bed. Better safe than sorry!

[@speakshh.1302]

That’s called being rich!

[@cookiecookie7126]

I do the same thing . I clean and clean my contacts and my case. Solution I can always buy. But not my eyes. Better safe than sorry.

[@-never-gonna-give-you-up-]
