What's your favorite contact lens for astigmatism (i.e. toric contact lens)? Let me know in the comments below!

@Linux8188 3 года назад

Biofinity Toric XR is the best, I highly recommend it, it replaced the hard contacts I used for 12 years

@MacNRaw 3 года назад

Biofinity Toric

@jamtime79 10 месяцев назад

Biofinity Toric has been my go to for the past few years but recently I’m having trouble with my right eye.. drying out, hard to focus and sometimes I get a weird halo at the top of my eyes. I’m going back to the eye doc tomorrow to get rechecked. I’m not sure if it’s just not fitting to my eyeball correctly or if the prescription is somehow wrong. Just got my eyes checked like 2 weeks ago so this is a bit odd to me right now.

@rmcomer 3 года назад

For daily wear, I use Acuvue Oasys 1 Day for Astigmatism. They are so comfortable that I sometimes forget that they're in, even after a long day at work. I rarely need to use eye drops with these lenses. I also have the monthly Multifocal Ultra for Astigmatism when I know that I'll be doing a lot of close up work. They're a little pricey but are worth not having to carry around a pair of reading glasses.

@RyanReviewsOptometry 3 года назад

Both are fantastic lenses. Thank you for sharing, Richard!

@shivanhaven 3 года назад

Acuvue Oasys 2 weeks have been go to for years. I am interested in the others you mentioned in this video now though.

@Muzicboy3 11 месяцев назад

I tried the Dailies total 1 for astigmatism and they sucked for me… I had high hopes because of the Dailies total 1 without astigmatism contact lens. I loved them, but I need my astigmatism corrected so I gotta wear torics now so I’m hoping the switch to Acuvue Oasys 1-day lens goes well. I need something to match or exceed the comfortable of the non-astigmatism Dailies total 1 lens

@PapyrusFont 3 месяца назад

My eye doctor prescribed me Bausch + Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism and I have done really well wearing the trials.

@realgearonline8279 2 года назад

Been using Accuvue for more than 10 years…just switched to Biofiniy. Two contacts have had little chunks come off so they’ve had to be thrown away. The left contact never seems to sit correctly. Definitely going back to The Oasis.

so far the best toric contacts is biofinity toric monthly for me ,so comfortable i can wear for the whole day no dry eyes. the only issue i have is sometimes either right or left breaks or cracks within a month so i have to throw away both and replace with new set

@VictorRamirez-ce3mp 3 года назад

I been wearing Air Optix for astigmatism, but have experienced dryness and sometimes 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.

@grumbles 2 года назад

Which ended up working best? I have issues with dryness and am trying to find the right lens too. Oasys was decent, Bioinfinity was awful. Daily ones were too flimsy and my dry eyes would "crinkle" them when I blink.

@karopi 2 года назад

I know that Oasys are more expensive but depending of your eyes you can use them for more than 2 weeks I change mine in general every 2 months... Just when the eye is tired. If you use contacts just make sure you feel confortable with them better to pay a bit more than to pay less for something that does not really work for you

I have been wearing Biofinity Toric XR for some time. Excellent contacts. However, CooperVision does have other models with high cylinder powers. There are other companies that do make my script but for now I will stay with Biofinity Toric XR because the lens provides great vision and does not shift. I actually see better with contact lens vs glasses. After few hours wearing glasses I start getting a headache.

I tried Biotrue ONEday lenses, Acuvue oasys (1-Day), and Acuvue Moist(1-Day) and I like the Biotrue the most actually. It was the least disorientating one in terms of vision. I didn't realize I had to use the alignment markers when I put in the contact lenses. Sometimes my vision would be blurry but I tried putting it on based on the alignment markers and my vision isn't blurry anymore lol I wonder why my eye dr didn't tell me about that when he gave me the trials XD

@RyanReviewsOptometry 3 года назад

Thank you for your feedback! Bang for buck, Biotrue is a fantastic daily toric option. Putting the lens in with the alignment markers facing down always helps fix the problem of waiting to let the lens settle for clear vision.

@SpottedLolo 3 года назад

I had been to four different optometrists who would get frustrated with me for choosing to only correct my near sightedness and opt out of the sigmatism correction. I always told all of them why I didn't like toric lenses, they make me dizzy and the world appear warped. Only ONE actually took the time to explain the markers! Obviously my doctor I saw regularly now. I have no problem with toric lenses! I just need to wear them correctly. Lol.

My Bio Finity Toric lenses are great. The only thing I noticed is a hazy / halo glare at times. I even ensure I clean them off thoroughly. I notice it is at night, and when on the computer. The prescription is right I wonder if it is the rotation of the lenses. Im only 2 months into this contact world as I’ve worn glasses my whole life. I wander what it is going on.

@azan-183 3 года назад

Great video! I've had a trial for the Acuvue Oasys Astig. 2-week and they were not working for me. They were quite uncomfortable and blurry. I heard it's an older lens so perhaps that's why it may not suit everyone. Right now, I'm trying the Air Optix for Astig. and may get a trial for the B&L Ultra Astig. The Bioinfinity Toric doesn't come in -2.75, so if all of the other options, unfortunately, don't suit me, I'll look into the XR version!

Hi, I'm having a hard time finding a contact for astigmatism that has some of the new technology and not a deep blue tint.

Hello, looking for some advice as a new contact wearer. I’m wearing aquatechplus premium toric aka biofinity toric lenses and I’m still having issues seeing at night and in low light everything gets real soft and fuzzy. Comparing the contact lens prescription to my glasses prescription the axis for My astigmatism is - .75 at 175 on my glasses compared to - .75 at 170 on the contact for my right eye. And my left eye is -1.25 at 05 for my glasses and -1.25 at 180 on the contacts. My prescription was finalized just yesterday I brought the fuzziness up to my optometrist and she said it was normal because I have toric lenses. The problem is that my vision doesn’t resolve and get better in low light or dark situations. And it’s honestly harder to see with them in than if I just take them out. Is there a contact that could correct on those axis and at those powers? If not then I don’t think contacts are for me

You were most likely offered rgp or scleral lenses. They’re a custom option for patients that have keratoconus and can be expensive if you don’t have material coverage though your vision/medical insurance. With this in mind, they are the best option for moderate to severe keratoconus.
