Hi, I’ve been experiencing double vision when using my multi focal contact lenses. Sometimes it’s rather clear but most time blurry. Any idea what could be the issue? I’m using clariti 1 day multifocal. Initially it was quite comfortable and clear but somehow it wasn’t so after some time. Thought of going for a thorough check to understand what’s wrong.

Hi! double vision as in seeing double or can't focus?
Does the problem still persist with spectacles?
Is it a whole day thing or appear only at night?

Ok. More of can’t focus. Sometimes blink a few times it would turn clearer. This happens throughout the period of wear. No issues when wearing specs.

With that, we can safely say this issue is probably due the contact lenses (Unless your myopia is above -8.00Ds). I'ld suggest going back to your optical shop @ have an over-refraction done (With contact lenses on) to enhance your ability to focus properly.

Since you've been with Owndays for a long time & they are notoriously known for making their in-house lenses with very Flat front curve & too thin center thickness, would be good if the shops you patronize have a lens sample in your prescription for you to try on. Otherwise it could be an issue as major brands follow the golden standards for lenses curve & center thickness.

If the curve is fine, what's left is the material type to consider
Photochromic:
Turns dark under the sun (E.g. Transitions). Good to have if you your eyes are sensitive to bright light

Blue absorb:
Absorbs up to 94% of harmful HEV (Blue light up to 420nm)

Blue reflect:
Reflect 20-30% of blue light (400-550nm range), which also includes the beneficial light to regulate circadian rhythm. A small number of clients report feeling sleepier during the day when using the lenses.

Thanks, i have been seeing discussion on the brand of lenses too. is there any go to/recommended brands or "ranking" in terms of quality? Will there be a big difference if compared to say Ownday's lenses?

Any of the brands (Zeiss, Tokai, Hoya, Asahi-lite, Essilor) would be an upgrade on Owndays in-house lenses. However, it doesn't mean an upgrade would be good for you. (Especially if you are already very accustomed to Owndays Lens design) Switching to the correct setting might cause headaches/discomfort.

The more important step would be to find shops that have the actual lens blank in your prescription for you to try on.

If you cant get used to the correct setting, customization on the lenses by the brands can be done to follow owndays setting.

Quick shoutout for @Optometrist !
Been having Eye strain + night double vision for 3-4 years. Condition got worse after ** + WFH. Always thought its normal, cos my previous opticians and eye doctors said so, attributing my condition to heavy workload without giving me a proper solution on how to solve this.

Visited bro @Optometrist , got my eyes checked. My condition is indeed due to heavy near workload. The biggest difference is he managed to let me see clear & single, no more double vision. Was pretty skeptical at 1st, but he gave me a money back guarantee.

Collected spects 2 weeks later & been trying for 5 days now. Finally no more headache & double vision. Only regret is not going to him earlier.

Hi bro!

Do remember to take intermittent rest for your eyes as well.
rest 20-30s, after every 20 mins of near, by focusing at an object 20ft (6m) away.

See you again in 6 months time to review your condition

Hi!
you can consider going to
Jamco optical at katong shopping center
Or
Kj optometrist at plaza sing.
If needed I can pm you who to look for.
however do call to make appt first before going down.

@GANGSTERKIA boss, just collected my first hoya mystyle profile lens, wearing for 2 weeks liao. Dont even have the slightest adaptation issues / rumoured blurry peripheral vision which people always mentioned. not sure why. first time progressive wearer and it looks the same as single vision. side vision just as good as single vision lens. makes me wonder and doubt if i should still go for office lenses. the only difference seems that my lens are thicker maybe due to the laohua add?

Sounds good! Your laohua/presbyopia add doesn’t contribute to the thickness.. usually is due to frame size, or increased in your distance prescription.

The shop doesnt have hoya machine so i didnt think choosing mystyle V+ can make much difference. Price though alot difference. About $300 more. Even so, still cheaper than zeiss. Zeiss superb already about $1.5k, same price point as hoya mystyle V+. Zeiss individual almost $2k.

Possible to get linberg titanium with hoya/zeiss lens (uv/blue light) with +-$500 budget?

Hi Optometrist, can you please PM your shop details? I cannot send you a PM. Do you also do myopia control lenses for kids? Thanks!

 

[Xeniel]

Need to replace my lens but still retain the frame

Is it significantly cheaper to get lens made in JB/Malaysia or is it about same price locally?

Thanks in advance for advice
