I've been wearing glasses 27 years of my 37 years on this Earth and I recently started wearing contacts and I feel that contacts give me better range and are more stable than glasses. But I guess that's personal preference ☺️
Recently I decided to purchase lens for occasional use and couldn't decide between daily and monthly. This video helped me alot to compare between the two. In India we lack such polite and helpful optometrist in hospitals according to my point of view.
Given that dailies are intended to be disposable whereas monthlies and fortnightlies are be expected to last ~14x and ~30x longer, it seems non-disposables ought to be of higher quality somehow. But no one seems to consider this. So long as you maintain good maintenance regimes, it could be an argument to wear the longer modalities, infrequently (eg. sports), as though they were dailies. It may be cheaper too.
Can daily disposables be removed and put into solution, say, for a shower after exercising, and then re-inserted for the remainder of the day, or would I need to insert a new lens?
It’s not recommended to re-wear daily contact lenses. Even if you only wore them for 1 hour or something, you should still dispose of them and get a new pair as daily disposable contact lenses aren’t designed for such reuse cases. It’s not worth re-wearing as there comes many risks associated with it.
@@YTAccount82825 I talked with my optometrist about it, and he said that it's ok to remove them and put them in solution during the shower so long as you don't wear them after 24 hours of opening them and wear them longer than 16 hours.
@@microchip470 Currently the FDA has only authorized daily contact lenses under most conditions to be only worn once and multi-use of daily contact lenses are omitted from the FDA approval as of right now meaning that the commercially available contact lenses as of now were not commercially approved with the premess that it would be disposed of after initial use. That being said, as with any specialty many practitioners, including optometrists, have differing interpretations and perspectives as to how certain prescribed medical equipment should be used. Generally it’s considered not recommended due to the litigations by the FDA that I have mentioned, however of course that is for general information purposes. Since your optometrist is familiar with your specific circumstance, I would agree with their perspective given that they have the examination data to demonstrate their recommendation and they are familiarized with how their specific contact lenses should be used. I can totally see the reasoning your optometrist’s recommendation likely being the fact that with proper hygienic practices the risks are rather low of serious infections or other side effects, but it’s also important to remember that under most circumstances daily contact lenses were never designed or approved for multi-use and ultimately it lies within your optometrist’s discretion on whether or not they determined that it is doable. Given the fact that they gave you the green light then I wouldn’t worry all that much so long as proper hygiene and precautions are met.
Uhhh deff would NOT sleep with contact lenses don’t care who tells you it’s okay I didn’t have an issue for years either untill that one time I got an eye infection. You have one pair of eyes. Being lazy just isn’t worth your vision
