The Contact Lenses Thread

but all brand in sg 14mm,no difference leh,unless the way the colors are arranged on the lens

ya thats only true for hydrogel lens like oasis, day n night, O2 optix etc but for 55/38 they are just regular hydrogel lens which is very much influenced by the environment, wearer tear duct activeness and the fitting

lol those are silicone hydrogels. All lenses are affected by these factors not only in regular hydrogels. Tear ducts are just ducts. They are not active in anyway. Tears are pushed by the eyelids movement. Seriously people should just switch to these advanced lenses as oxygen is really impoortant for the maintainence of the corneal health.

dont over wear your lenses la. max wear time 8-10hrs a day. dont overwear esp. coloured lenses and normal hydrogel lenses. they have low oxygen supply to ur eyes. very bad for the cornea. comfort depends on urself u have to try the lenses out to determine comfort.

thought both high/low water content got pros and cons de..if u haf natural dry eyes and if u wear high water content lens which allows more oxygen to pass through,this type of lens also need more moisture to maintain watever thingy,when having not enough moisture,it will auto suck the moisture from ur eye also?

when moisture from lens surface evaporate, it draws water from inside the lens which thereafter leads to the moisture from the eye being drawn into the lens. nuff said.

why brands like encore,maxi eyes the price is fixed de and freshkon prices varies.Somemore is vary by alot leh!

Is it because of the freshkon membber voucher buy 1 get 1 free? Those can use voucher de sell more ex?
I bought mine at tampines mall for 35 dollars per pair but i got buy 1 get 1 free

what are the advanced lenses? I'm using acuvue moist, is it considered 'advanced' lenses?

 

[Carnage]

If don't wear it often, just for sports usage 8 to 12hrs a day still need advance lens?

ohh. why recommend freskon? just curious to know.

 

[qwerty_hippo]

Freshkon and freshlook,

freshlook is better rite? becos the price is bout twice of freshkon.


Recently , my lense in the left eye keep sliding upwards . Put eyedrops oso cant make the lens to keep in place. then aft a while , it will get stuck in the upper eyelid.

I try moving the len down using my fingers, but after blinking , it goes up again.

Anyidea why it happen? My right eye does not have such problems.

moist is not silicon hydrogel based lens..it functions on what acuvue calls it the LACREON tech..basically it has added a minute amount of hydrophilic polymer into the lens.. due to that nature moisture is retained within the lens for longer period, the lens also caused less friction with eyelid thanks to a layer of moisture cushion.. it works perfectly fine for daily disposal..silicon hydrogel would be too ex..n can be too rigid for comfort.. though it can be mixed with hydrogel..but btm line is cost/demand...maybe in the future there will be silicon hydrogel dailies ha
