Acuvue contact lenses make my eyes very dry

I thought so initially. That's why at first I was using CIBA and then AMO Complete Moisture Plus. But didn't help. Was already using CIBA when using Biomedi...

Actually, I like acuvue because of the high water content which is more comfy for my dry eyes, but I don't use it often bec it costs more. I've used biomedics previously but stopped bec they didn't have daily disposables then. Do they have it now?

As for dry eyes, there's nothing much one can do, but it gets worse and more red if you don't get enough sleep.

I once used Biomedics daily disposable ones. But it's really very uncommon. I only managed to get it at an optical shop at Harbourfront.

It's great using daily disposables (except Acuvue of course). Most comfortable one. But I calculated the cost. The cost of long term using disposable can pay for my lasik liao. So I went back to monthly.

Then I must ask my regular optical shop to get the Biomedics daily disposable ones to try. BTW, did you know that different brands have different diameter of lens? That may affect your comfort level.

Using monthly disp. will save quite a bit, unfortunately I can't coz my eyes can't take those 3-in-1 solutions that have become the trend nowadays.

Oh dear, I just remembered! I might have used Biomedics daily before but gave up bec I.....erm......found a strand of curly hair in the packing..... Razz

There was another brand which didn't have QC and the lenses were sometimes warped or had little tears....but I've forgotten the brand.

To be safe, now I stick to Daily Focus, Puryves and Acuvue. Razz
