Do all optical shops stock various brands of daily contact lens? I haven't worn them since I trialed a pair many many many years ago. I prefer wearing specs but I'm thinking of wearing dailies for my occasional fishing trips or futsal sessions.
Any recommendation for an optometrist/optical shop? My degree and astigmatism I think quite high though. Not even sure if dailies come in those powers.
I'm a daily contact lenses user, my eye power are currently between 900 to 1100 for both eyes, it fluctuates due to my medical condition... I suffer from astig in one eye, but for the time being I'm using normal off the shelves common easily found dailies... I've checked, some common brands do support power upwards of 1200 for the normal ones, those astig support ones varies...
Recently I went to get my eyes checked at Two Of A Kind (
www.twooak.com), you'll have to sign up then book an appointment for consultation and after which you will be given samples to try and can also buy the lenses via subscription... Do note that their lenses maxes out at power of 1000 only...
Actually, I do sleep in my contact lenses occasionally to see how they behave when my eyes shut for some period of time as I do have history of fainting, and I wouldn't want the lenses to roll back if a relapse occur... To combat any chances of my eyes drying out, I use an Optrex branded rehydrating eye drops daily before, during and after removing my contact lenses, it's safe to use with contact lenses to prevent the eyes from drying out... I won't recommend people who can forget they have contact lenses on from doing this as it may result in an eye infection if no hydration is done promptly...
