I have a question I went to the eye optical yesterday and gave my glasses prescription they didn’t take any contact lenses exam or fitting. They just ordered me the contacts I wanted (Dailes total Ones daily Disposable).They said I would be getting trial lenses with the dailes total ones. Is this normal. Please respond back. And really good video. I got dailes total ones after watching your video on the review.

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

@@RandomDude-ng7ux If you're getting trials, you're likely still be evaluated to wear the contact lens. If you were already fit and evaluated, you'd be able to order a year supply of contact lenses off your finalized contact lens rx.

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

@Даниил Абдулин it's worth exploring other contact lens options with your eye doctor. Use our contact lens reviews to provide you with valuable insight for your eye exam.

IntroWellness | Wellness Reviews, Comparisons, and Information I just got my contacts and they sent me free trial lenses and a 90 day pack for dailies total one.And I noticed the made the owner for both eyes -1.00 while I have -1.25 on the right and 1.00 on the left. What should I do.

[@gunny6517]

Great review! I just switched to B&L Infuse, which I simply LOVE...

[@laurahelm2020]

I commented on another video about the lenses I just started! You mentioned the Infuse, but I’ve been able to find any offices with them locally to do a fit test. They sound wonderful, and I’d love to try them.

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

There are only 3000 or so fitting sets nationwide with more being released in October. Many more offices will have INFUSE in 2021!

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

Heading to my opthalmologist soon and excited to ask him about Infuse. Longtime Cooper wearer here, started with old-school Biofinity and been wearing MyDay for the past 3 years but ready for something new I think. CooperVision's rebates are usually hard to beat though. My doc is so open to letting you try whatever you want which I think is so important. Seems like you're that way also! I love selection and not feeling like I'm being forced or sold on one brand because the office makes more or less money off of one or the other

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

$200 rebate on INFUSE but not everyone has the lens just yet (slow release).

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

@@RyanReviewsOptometry is that on a year's supply?

[@Jack-zc1qp]

Thank you! That was the best non bias review of contacts I’ve viewed.

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

You are very welcome. Thank you for sharing!

[@christineweber9100]

Hello I switched from two week lenses to dailies first tried biotrue one day lense and that hurt my eyes because they were super dry after about 4 to 5 hours they would hurt so badly. I tried the Alcon dailies total one lense for about 4 days and love them so much! No pain at all sometimes forget I have them in. Just bought them today and so happy about the choice I made! Great video

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your experience!

[@nichmon3221]

Mine are also Coopervision. I think they're the Clariti 1 day. I am watching this video for the very reason that they dry out.

[@bilaltahir9978]

Which of these would be best suited for outdoors activities such as trail running or hiking for 10-16 hours e.g. ultramarathon?

[@joshbreaksk8IN]

Which brand would you recommend for astigmatism my eye doctor gave me ethos aqua tech but I tried them yesterday and the whole four hours I wore them my eye felt dry.

[@Grow_With_April]

Soooo I have dry eyes, astigmatism, far sighted but needing multi focal. Alcon Dailies Total 1 is great until I have to drive and then it is hard to see. But my eyes aren’t drying out as bad as I have experienced. So I love that. But I feel I have to pop them out and have to go back to glasses. Sigh… any ideas for all the multiple needs?

[@Cloneufc]

I love my Acuvue Moist daily lenses. I've tried the Oasys and they make my eyes itch and hurt, I hate the Oasys. I want to try the infuse. I do a lot of computer work and Moist has been the best for me.

[@AshTheDuke]

Thanks for this

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Absolutely! Glad you found value in the information provided!

[@musicjet4255]

Hi I’ve been using the Alcon daily’s. My eyes get really dry after about 3-4 hours. Do you have any suggestions on another pair of contacts to try? Would monthly, weekly, or bi weekly be better? If there’s a good daily one I’d still give that a shot?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Alcon has 3 daily lenses - Dailies Total 1, Precision 1, and Dailies AquaComfort Plus. The first two are better for people with dry eyes. All dailies listed in this video are worth discussing further with your eye doctor.

[@Jutsch80HD]

I hope the infuse (called Ultra 1 day in Europe) comes out with an astigmatism version. I wanted to like the Oasys because where I live they’re by far the cheapest daily silicone hydrogel lenses available. Unfortunately, other than their regular ones, the astigmatism version feels uncomfortable in my eyes immediately. I’m still new to lenses so currently I’m shopping around a bit. Tried Biofinity and they seem fine but I really want to go to daily lenses because I don’t plan on wearing them every day

[@kylebelleca7459]

Do you have an idea if the CooperVision Avaira Vitality lenses are good? Planning on buying that instead since the Biofinity variant is always out of stock here

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Yes, they’re a good 2-week replacement lens (while Biofinity is a monthly replacement lens).

[@Wallbanger12]

Im thinking about getting the ultra my problem is when im outside my eyea dry out or if im watching tv they tend to dry out so im probably going to try these..

[@krolinaruiz]

What daily contact lens do you recommend after a lasik surgery? The contact lens I've tried until now make me feel unconfortable and dry eyes.

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

INFUSE, Acuvue Oasys 1-Day, and Dailies Total 1 (in that order) would be the lenses to try.

[@surfbug1]

ok the markings on the lenses irritate my eyes feels like a grain of sand in my eye B + L INFUSE they have a 4 hurts they also have a 2 hurts but not as much any suggestions for " no markings" contacts?

[@DedricSilva]

So this can help when i'm gaming, reading, watching movies and tv shows, and computer right? I know i want them for all of them while still wearing lenses when on the go including church and the gym.

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

I recommend visiting your eye doctor for a custom recommendation.

[@donniwang6945]

can you review miru contacts?

[@hannahlam348]

Do you know a good hydrating color contacts for sensitive eyes?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

You’re best off with Alcon Dailies Colors as you’ll get a fresh lens each day. If you’re looking for a monthly lens, Air Optix Colors is the best option. Consider using Clear Care disinfecting solution if you’re experiencing lens build up.

[@sohanlal464]

Best contact lense is the best for best vision and comfort and feel of natural vision without risk of LASIK eye surgery in my words.

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Well said. These are the top options to get you there.

[@ellaflower786]

Thank you for this video! Sometimes I’m tired wearing my eyeglass, so I decided to wear contact lens but after 2 hrs it gives me headache 😔

[@unknownname3969]

How is going now?

[@unknownname3969]

Are you still getting headaches?

[@ellaflower786]

@@unknownname3969 Hi! I’m using right now the dailies total 1 it’s a little bit pricey but it’s totally worth the money. It’s comfortable and it doesn’t gave me any headaches.

[@unknownname3969]

@@ellaflower786 do you have dry eyes as well?

[@kindree5414]

Hello. If I wear daily lenses and one of them falls down as i’m trying to put it in my eye, am i able to use contact solution for rinse it off or can contact solution only be used to rinse off monthly contacts?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Yes, you can do so.

[@adoublerar1031]

I would recommend Alcon Precision 1 disposable contacts.

[@jollyjokress3852]

They do not work for me. Better than others I've tried (Acuvue Oasys and a Cooper daily lens). After 3hrs I felt the them drying out. But I have very problematic eyes. I now ordered B&L infuse and also want to try dailies total 1.

[@aksyxd5583]

@@jollyjokress3852 did you try the infuse and total 1's?

[@jollyjokress3852]

@@aksyxd5583 infuse and also the alcon precision. but I have very dry eyes they don't work for me. the precision I can wear like once in two weeks for 3 hrs. the infuse maybe 2 hrs? Still want to give the precision with the steepest water gradient

[@aldogonzalez5852]

I have seen the optometrist before and I was given eye drops and lubricant my dry eye symptoms went away for a while and now they are back. I was wondering if I can just buy some of these contacts without consulting with the optometrist?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

You need an active prescription to purchase contact lenses in the United States.

[@abeliever4115]

Hey its okay if i switch brand of my contact lenses solutions the Frist one i use is not so good so i get new brand solutions dose it harm my lense?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

What solutions are you referring to?

[@wallysiegel7131]

I use acuvue 1 day for astig. How does this compare to INFUSE

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Both are great lenses but INFUSE isn’t available in a toric lens option (yet). One will most likely come in the next 1-2 years so follow up with your eye doctor at your next visit to see if it’s been released yet.

[@Josejaree]

I cant find anything of these lens with 8.4 base curve the my doctor prescribed for me. Can I use 8.5?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

In the USA, your doctor would have to prescribe you the lens.

[@EM-sz4hk]

What about one a day acuvue moist?? Any good? Comparable to daily total one?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

It's a good value lens but is not comparable to any of the lenses in this video, including dailies total 1.

[@EM-sz4hk]

@@RyanReviewsOptometry so for purposes of dry eye you wouldn’t recommend? Compared to daily totals? I have pretty bad dry eye. Need the best solution. Thoughts? Thank you so much!!!

[@Acenis]

How important would you say is the solution fluid for fresh and comfortable lenses?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Important but also something manufacturer controlled. Some people don’t do well with specific brands blister packs solution but, overall, most are well tolerated.

[@jessereed8148]

I live in the US, but I can’t find anywhere that sells the INFUSE. Where can I buy them?

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Jesse Reed the lens is slowly being released and only offices with the INFUSE fit set can sell the lens. Where do you live?

[@jessereed8148]

I Saint Paul Minnesota, but i was hoping to buy online

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

I don’t think they’ll be available online until 2021

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Jesse Reed Complete Eye Care of Medina (Dr. Gina Wesley) should have the lens available at her office. Not sure how far that is from you but she’s fantastic and worth scheduling an appointment with.

[@surfbug1]

maybe gotta try accuvue OASIS Accuvue moist have "123" markings ...irritates my eyes

[@ProfessorUFC]

Are these better than Acuvue Oasys 1-Day and Dailies Total 1

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Based off technology and design, yes. However, it's worth trying it out for yourself to experience the difference.

[@ProfessorUFC]

Unfortunately they aren‘t yet available in Germany

[@violetmarion6119]

Will they work for mgd

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

???

[@paulrickards4921]

Infuse not available in uk

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

Nope. But it should be available soon, possible under a different name.

[@karafisher1036]

Total daily 1 multirafocal are awful. Very dry and they make me see shadows. Absolutely cannot wear them in dim light or night time driving.

[@Devonellah]

It seems like the industry is shifting more towards Silicone Contact lenses and my eyes definitely don't like them!!

[@RyanReviewsOptometry]

SiHy dailies are the future but there are still some very good hydrogel daily disposables on the market. Not everyone does well in SiHy dailies so hydrogel dailies aren’t going anywhere.
