As someone with dry eyes daily lenses have really helped with not encouraging more inflammation

@icecol22 Год назад

I'm new at this!! I've been wearing contacts now for one week and one day(4/21/23).I'm wearing monthly multifocal contacts and I have ordered a pair of some really cool glasses.

@Tommax25 Год назад

I am a daily guy all the way! I mainly wear contacts for special occasions or when going swimming so it's rare enough that it's definitely not cost-effective to get monthly. I find wearing even daily contacts makes my eyes tired, let alone the thicker monthly ones, so I prefer to stick with glasses for regular use.

Swimming wearing contact lenses? Really?

@martinlutherkingjr.5582 Год назад

@@Moon-wd3wqPeople can be dumb when they’re overly enthusiastic

@Unc3rtaintyPrinciple Год назад

never wear contacts when you shower or swim, that's a sure way to get eye infection

@martinlutherkingjr.5582 Год назад

@@Unc3rtaintyPrinciple Why’s that? What if you remove them after a 10 min shower and clean them?

So informative! Had assured that me that using daily’s was the right choice for me :)

@EyesExplained Год назад

That's great! And if your lifestyle changes it ok to switch to monthly reusable lenses. Just have a chat to your optometrist!

@user-dd2qo3hm8s Год назад

Thank you for your kind words!

Somehow the woman pointing out what's wrong with things makes this video more trustworthy. Thanks

@TheSatyamsingham Год назад

i started with monthly, took 10 minutes to put on first time.

@mafxarr8776 Год назад

Just bought daily’s as I’m planning a vacation that’ll involve snorkeling. Haven’t worn contacts in years as I found it a hassle to clean and maintain stuff. The daily’s should definitely get rid of most of the cons I personally had with wearing lenses, but I’m still gonna use my glasses for majority of days, and the daily’s for special occasions. I found your video very helpful and highly informative. New subscriber from Maldives 🇲🇻

Easy to understand

@user-if8eu5um6d 9 месяцев назад

I do apply my eye drops in my eyes and I've been wearing my lens for almost a week.i do have the lens that comes along with the lense solution and eyedrops

@AdrianTZN Год назад

Hi Dra. Pricilla, thanks for this very informative video. I bought my 1-yr contact lens last May 2022, still good to my eyes, it has 300 grade, not frequently using it, just when im only playing basketball like 3-4x a week. Do you think its okay for me?

@EyesExplained Год назад

That sounds good. Just remember to get your eyes tested regularly with your optometrist so they can monitor your script and eye health!

@AdrianTZN Год назад

@@EyesExplained thanks for the reminder, actually i have astigmatism, and im using my eyeglasses with astigmatism correction in it, unlike in my contacts, it doesnt have the correction, since im only using it occasionally, and it is too much expensive for me lol

@jenelynsenoron5375 Год назад

Monthly contact lenses. Though expensive here in dubai....First time I had this .

@akizmetkat999 7 месяцев назад

Dubai? Ha! Too bad!!! 😅

@387733160 Год назад

@Eyes Explained Do you prefer glasses over CL’s ? I think another topic can be glasses vs contacts . For myself I will pick dailies since it’s easier to take care of , less protein build up but I cannot wear it for long since it acts like a sponge and bothers my oil glands causes my eyes to be very dry .

@stimpyfeelinit 7 месяцев назад

great video, would love a video on australia contacts containing PFAS/forever chemicals so I can avoid i can only find studies done in the USA and some of them sell them unbranded to australian companies 🤮

@Annediy-ct3qt 8 месяцев назад

Daily girl... I just wear CL 3x in a week. N I'm not too keen to do the maintenance so yeah.... Daily contacts for me 🥰

@huhwhatomg 4 месяца назад

Daily all the way! I'm a crane operator and use to have issues with my eyes getting dry. But dailies have cured that 100%.

@NeneLyonz Год назад

I have a question, can someone wear dailies (changing daily) for just specific days a week like Friday , Saturday and Sunday -just on weekends? then switch to glasses the rest of the time?

@sun7500 Год назад

Yes

@EyesExplained 11 месяцев назад

Of course. You can switch between glasses and contact lenses.

@carolinarico0724 Год назад

I just want lenses for at least to go out 4 times a month. That’s it. Other than that I just want to use my glasses on a daily basis

@EyesExplained 11 месяцев назад

Sounds like daily disposables will be better for you 🙂

@phunghuyhoaofficial Год назад

Wearing contact lenses is very aesthetic! But I'm concerned about the harmful effects of contact lenses on my eyes! Do contact lenses cause red eyes?

@bookbeats3454 11 месяцев назад

As long as you are wearing the contacts that were prescribed to you, you properly wash your hands and disinfect them, and never sleep in them. You'll be just fine. Enjoy your contacts, friend.
