Best Contact Lenses For Dry Eyes (2023)

I’m a plus 7. I don’t have many options

Are those contact lenses to help ease the dry eye symptoms or just the normal contact lenses but for people with dry eyes?

Is there a lens for dry eye patients who are allergic to BAC (preservative)?

I had considered doing a laser surgery for eyesight correction. But after seeing all these eye doctors wearing contact lenses themselves I think it’s probably a safer option. Can’t afford to lose my eyes.

Dr Smith speaks in too low voice or you need to adjust your mic for guests next time.

This week I have been to my eye guy in Caldwell ID, I am trying precision 1 & total 1. I still feel like I have sand in my eyes. I’m going to mention the Acuvue Oasys! Thank you

I’m pretty sure I’ve had dry-eye for years. Not sure how long, but regardless, I wore contacts when I was about 14 (17 years ago), and always had to dig around under my eyeball to fish out a strand of hair from my head that had stuck to my eye (or contact, i suppose) and “drifted” back to behind my eye, causing absolutely unbearable discomfort. I eventually ripped my contacts off and threw them on the ground in the middle of a funeral because they agitated me so badly, and consistently, and I never looked back.

Is anyone familiar with this issue, and know whether contacts these days have made strides in that regard? I wouldn’t mind giving them a shot again.

My left eye gets red a lot in the corner . About 5 months ago i had problems with my contacts the left eye. I tried drops and cleanings and bought new pairs and nothing helped the left eye feels impossible to keep them in and even if it doesn’t hurt it makes my whole left eye turn red.

I went to the eye doctor and asked if my tear ducts were messed up because that eye feels like it doesn’t get moisture because it quits hurting after putting drops but soon as the drops dried I couldn’t stand it. That just wetting my eye period somehow made it feel fine. But without my eye being wet I feel like I have a coin in my eye. She said no and prescribe me drops she said where very powerful and to not overdue. after 2 weeks my eye seemed sorta the same looking but alil whiter. I tried putting contacts in and no luck. I thought maybe eye needs more time to heal. Waited another month and no luck I even tried using the rest of the prescription drops that only seem to help redness.

Its been months now that I’m stuck in glasses because of this. I’m desperate for help because in my line of work I really need to be OUT of my glasses and back in contacts.

What is the best solution to fill soft contact lenses to reduce dry eye through the day? I use Sclerafil for my scleral lens, but not a good option for my soft lens

I have the rare and pretty unknown Cogan Syndrome, so my eyes are more than sensitive, after a few hours wearing contacts my eyes get really red and start burning, also I never manage to remove them without traumatizing the eyes (since I got the Cogan, it used to go smoothly back in yhe day). Any suggestions? Any magic contact lenses that fit my needs? Or should I just give up and wear glasses?

I’ve used precision1 and total1 and it doesn’t work for my left eye with astigmatism. Every blink it gets blurry, My doc said I have meibomian gland and I’ve been using Ocusoft lid scrub for the 1 month straight and haven’t noticed a difference. So I’m looking for a new brand

Can i wear contact lense even i had a pterygium???

Can you recommend what color contacts are good for eyes that are dry? I currently use the daily optics regular contacts. Thanks!

Can you do a video on best contact lense for astigmatism from patient’s perspective. I’m looking for a recommendation that will get me better vision clarity. I have astigmatism and I’m not very happy with my current contact lenses.

Tell me the best toric contact lenses which could correct the corneal irregularity more???

What a shit sound quality man...

Wait so I don’t need to spend tons on scleral lenses???
I haven’t had contacts in 12 years
Would love to wear them again

QUESTION: I have always resented my need for contacts since my eyes are on the dry side, but glasses hurt my face. So since I have to wear contacts, I like wearing colourful ones. How do Desio coloured contact lenses rank according to you? I would really appreciate a thorough review of their monthly and 3-monthly lenses, talking about water content and what not. (also a quick answer here would help as well)

lol the editor 😂

Once u go dailies u can't go back

I was still having sensitivity problems with Total 1. I haven't found a contact that works for me yet. Total 1 has been the most comfortable but it's not good enough for me.

I use Precision1 and I really really like it!

I used to use the Oasis one day for years and ended up with such dry eyes from wearing lenses. This had never been a problem before. For me, if I could go back I wouldn’t even take the risk of wearing contacts I would stick to glasses as dry eyes are extremely difficult to live with

I had the total 30 and I hated them I do physical labor so I would get a lot of sweat and gunk in my eye and not even 1 week in they started burning. I am glad I swapped to the precision 1s.

I have a question, so I'm wearing contact lense for about 12 years, and I am wearing acuvue vita (monthly) since 2018, before that i was using cooper vision biomedics or acuvue dailies.

The reason why i change my contacts was because doctor prescription that says i'm suitable for 8.8 base curve.

But these past couple of weeks, my eyes feel drier than usual and my contacts loosening up.

Is there any risk that my base curve is changing as I grew up older?

Thank you doctors for this video. Very helpful

Love love love the precision 1 daily... also easy to remove in the am... i work night shift and this is a life saver!!!

i regret getting total one. my right eye red Super red and dry af so far for me is the acuve moist. they harder to put in bcuz they thinner but better than total 1

Not impressed with the total 30s. My vision isn't as good with them as other brands. I just tried the Accuvue Vita and they are much better. Are you spokes people for Alcon????

Thank you so much for this video! I cross-checked the online reviews of the ones that sounded best for me based on what you described and decided on the Dailies Total 1. I just put in my first pair and I'm impressed already... I didn't realize there were contacts that I wouldn't constantly feel on my eyes! My old ones I could feel every time I blinked, and I frequently felt like I had to blink really hard to readjust them since they were uncomfortable. My old contacts were the CooperVision MyDay, and aside from frequently being uncomfortable, many times I have found teeny tiny bits of debris inside unopened contact lens containers making them necessary to clean, and more irritating.

I'm a longtime Biofinity person and tried the Total 30's. I don't know what it is, but they seem to have a very "heavy" or thick feeling in the eye. I looked up the thickness, and it seemed like the two lenses had the same thickness which I found hard to believe. Maybe eyes just get used to the changes. I really want to keep trying the Total 30's to see if I'd eventually get used to it, as the comfort is generally really good with very smooth edges. I'm very torn between the Total 30's, the Biofnity, and the MyDay. Cost wise with rebates, these are all about the same with the Biofinity being the cheapest at $35 a case.

Would you please disclose if you get a kickback for selling certain brands?

I feel like that from the person who does my contact lens
I might just change doctors- even though I love him - because this person seems out for themselves when I am paying big bucks for my exam and lens.

Total 30 horrible
Dry my eyes out and feels like sandpaper. Gets worse as the month goes on.
Just tried a sample of B&L and it’s like night and day.

Go google the reviews on total 30
Only one person liked them while they had like 30 complaints.

Dailies are just too expensive, if they're the same price as monthly. These videos are pushing dailies, but those are wasteful and you're spending $150 a month on contacts, vs $150 every 6 months.
