The Contact Lenses Thread

[warhunter]

went to npoc. now on trial lens.

now comes the next qns, if i feel that this pair of lens is ok, buy from them cheaper or go out buy cheaper?

It's not about cheaper or not. Its about whether your eyes are healthy on the day u collect your lenses or not. After the trial they will need to assess the lens fitting again after wearing for a few days. So it doesn't mean that if you feel good with the trail, the lens is suitable. It is totally wrong to think that way

Hello everyone,

Other than the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Optometry Centre, is there a similar service offered at Singapore Polytechnic?

TIA.

The shop and ngee Ann optometry centre is not the same thing. The shop is just an optician. Not optometrist.

Solution also ask ur optometrist to recommend better. Not one size fits all.

Hi all,

I went to NPOC and was diagnosed with cornea staining. They ask me to visit an eye doctor as there is no improvement after a week.
Anybody has any experience with this? How long does it take to recover and what are the cost?

My eyes looks perfectly fine now though :<

You can't see it. That's why there are optometrists. We see the staining with the microscope. Go back and review with them.GPs won't know what's that either because they don't look at the cornea with the microscop . In Australia, we will prescribe antibiotics for preventive measures in severe cornea stainings.

It takes approx 1 day for superficial stainings to go away. 1 week for deep stainings to go away. There are also recurrent stainings due to other causes

Thanks Warhunter

Went to see an eye specialist and got prescribed with strong eye-drops. Dr says it will recover in a week! Luckily it isnt anything serious.

Doctors in Singapore will usually overkill with their eyedrops prescriptio . So unethical and irresponsible. Cos staining is not an infection. No need strong antibiotic .

Aunty is proper optometrist not? Got do lens fitting before letting you know which lens is suitable? If not cheap also no use. If lens don't suit u well. Higher chance of complications.
