not a question of must wear or not. IS WHETHER U CAN LIVE WITH THE BLUR. ask ur optometrist for trial lenses. compare e 2.

thats ex....

that will be like $200 for a yr supply. so each box of 3 pairs that can last u for 3 months will cost you like $50 bucks. wow, thats ex for me.

but on seeing again, you have astig, so that price u r paying is kinda expected.

but are u sure the $100 is only for 6 pairs? and not for 6 pairs + consultation fee?

is there any contact lens now for dry eyes? many yrs ago when i tried those non-disposable, my eyes always turn red and sore, and it can become so dry, that when i blinked, the lens dropped off!

yea, there is.

i also have dry eyes.

my optician recommended me bioinfinity contacts.

specially for dry eyes.

i find it much better as i used to be like u, so dry till when take out eye will be very red n itchy. this one makes it more comfortable even after long hrs of usage n doesn't have the itchy feeling when take out.

why singaporeans so not knowledgeable. CLs can only be SOLD by optometrist NOT optician

[warhunter]

15-20+ depends on brand.

ya actually its $80 for 6 pairs + 1 free trial and $20 for consultation fee. So it's $160 per year, i guess thats ok?

 

[overcrash]

yea, its ok.

its even cheaper than mine. but mine is for dry eyes though thats why.

15 is wad u say. but depends on the user it can range far way more than 20+.

for dry eyes and astig users, it could even reach 50+ for a reputable brand.

 

[icyfiery]

any optometrist can recomend in the west?i want to know about what type of contact lens should i buy

 

[slapurface]

acuvue is pretty good but more ex.

 

[I_Hate_Veggie]

acuvue is pretty good but more ex.

i would say acuvue price is rather ok ok, not ex actually.

35 for a normal monthly lens of theirs. that seems reasonable n decent for its quality.
as for me, i even got lobang, so when i purchase theirs its probably only slightly below 30.
