Biomedic toric(Copper Vision's) is the same as Soflens66 toric(B&L) (Just different country Lens) for more detail you can check though there web. If you think of getting a better lens why not try the new launch of Bioinfinity toric it's a sillicon hydrogel lens which is much better for the corner to have a better air intake + Much longer hour wear then normal lens.

is it becoz you wearing 8.7.... ask for 8.6.
It will be better as it can easily rotate for your astig.

Toric need to order, don't think any of the shop keep stock. I went to a few shops at JB City Square all told me need to order.

They are legit shops as far as I know, I mean they are not like some ulu optical shop on some street but in the shopping centre. The lenses should be supplied from the same source, the boxes are exactly the same for my focus dailies.

Focus dailies factory in Singapore. That's why packaging same. 8.8 means for flatter corneas. The higher the basecurve the flatter the cornea. Package is different if the lenses are for different region. Depends on individual lens companies.Case can be rinsed with warm water and soap every 1 week to remove any slimy stuff with a soft bristle brush. Hard bristle will scratch the case and would allow bacteria to grow. Even if u use aosept also try to use a soft brush to clean e case every week. Also replace case every 1 month. Solutions opened should be replaced every 3 months. Saline opened should be replaced after 1 month.

Ask your optometrist to do a lens fit for you lo. its required by the law anyway. get him to find the perfect fit for you before you buy lo?
