Hi, currently the best in the market it is the Dailies Total 1.
Said to be very comfortable compared to other brands of lenses.
Of course, better to have a contact lens check to see which is suitable for your eyes and whether it fits right to know which is best. Some people might suit other brands better as it is more comfortable for them.
Not as simple as buying clothes..
Hope it helps.

Hope you went for regular eye checks as well. In the case that the lenses are not original, you might be at risk of infections etc......

In all seriousness, it is good to go for eye checks regularly and it is normal if the packaging differs. Sometimes they are manufactured by more than 1 country as the volume is too large.

Yeah I did got for an eye check a month ago. This is a replacement box from online. Will monitor if there is any diff in the lens.

Thanks

Anyone knows if it's normal for optometrist to provide free trial of contact lens for first time wearers (inclusive of fitting) I wish to try contact lens but unsure if willing to commit.

Really depends! And i think must be a little friendly before requesting or show great interest. Or maybe buy those no degree lens to try first, quality may be different but just to experience the feeling of lens in your eye and if you're fine with that.

Fitting wise, if you has astig seems like lower chance to get trial lens cos more ex? my ownPOV

Hi, depends on case by case basis.
Lets say you frequent a shop often to purchase spectacles, the staff know you... Trial pairs will definitely be given free - no question.
First timer they are not obliged to provide free, furthermore, if you don't purchase, they will charge for consultation.
It takes lots of time to check the eyes and to teach how to wear...

Suspected Scam - Contactlens SG

Has anyone purchased any contact lenses from Contactlens SG recently? I bought a pair of monthly cosmetic lenses on the 15 Sep and made full payment to them but to date, order status is on hold, with no update from seller.

The whatsapp number listed is invalid and I tried calling the number but to no avail. I tried messaging the seller through Facebook messenger and received a flippant reply and then seller went MIA.

The amount of the lens is not a lot (<S$50) but this is kinda uncalled for, given that there could be 10, 20 other people who could be making their purchase from that site and not getting what they had paid for.

Anyone encountered the same?
