725 225 10

Hmm even so the conversion also wrong. CL should be lower than glasses

oooh I didn't know that

I did mine at kwong shin, was previously very happy with their testing of my prescription which was why I went back there for trial CL

means is there a chance that I can purchase toric dailies for sports/weekend usage?

I have been using Kwong Shin for many years. Highly recommended. They are truly very professional and patient to attend your needs.

Hello, anyone has tried purchasing contact lenses from SeeChic? (http://sg.seechic.com/)

Appreciate any comments. TIA.

quite good. they offer free eye test. mine took a bit longer abt 2 weeks to come as my myopia is quite severe, so need more time to source. contact lenses came in a cushioned box.

For a first timer, was it too hasty to buy few months worth?

not the cheapest online. but given that it has a local office, i m quite assured that the lenses are genuine. compared to the prices in physical shops, it is still cheaper. there are promotions/discount. you can check their facebook page.

yes, you may not like the feeling of contacts. i started off with dailies. bought only 2 boxes (left & right). it was a hassle trying to put on/take off contact lenses, trying not to blink etc.
start small first, then if you are used to it, can consider buying in bulk.

Its a daily lens. Why would u use solution. And solutions have to be recommended by your optometrists. Some people react to some solutions.

Aosept works for everyone though. There will not be chemicals left after neutralisation

If rinsing only before putting on CLs , use normal saline solution can already
