I suffer from dry eyes and have astigmatism. When I use drops or tear up, my eyes actually get more irritated. My dr has diagnosed me with chronic dry eyes. He's prescribed restaisis which seems to be helping.
I'm currently using Acuvue advance. And I am using them as mono-vision. I still can only get about 6-8 hours of use. When the weather is humid, I can sometimes wear them all day. My dr is having me try Biofinity. They are the most comfortable lenses I've ever tried. But, we can't seem to get the prescription right. The fit is good. Separately the lenses are clear but together I cannot see clearly. I'm pessimistic that we'll find the right prescription to solve this problem. My dr want's be to try acuevue oasys. Anyone with dry eyes try Acuevue oasys and Biofinity? How do they compare? Thanks in advance, greg Edit/Delete Message |

Hey Greg, I've had my little problems with Biofinity Toric's for the past year and will be trying Acuvue Oasis for Astigmatism next week due to dr not having my RX in stock.....My 2 concerns are dry eye/discomfort after 6-8 hours as well as Biofinity's actually getting very uncomfortable after only like 2 weeks use.....So I'll try and remember to post my feelings on them next week or so. Got a new dr and will have new contacts so we'll see..... |

Interesting that you experience discomfort with biofinity after a couple of weeks. I've found them to be very comfortable but since I've had problems with blurring, I haven't worn them consistently. So I can't say if I experience the same problem. I am currently trying Acuvue Oasis. I'm not encouraged. I'm having problems getting more than 7 - 8 hours with them. I'll be very interested to know how your trial goes. |

Looks like the duplicate post is gone now. Nice work.

Hi gregnb. How long do you typically wear your contacts? It must be more than 8 hours. Maybe with a little practice you can stretch your wear time out a little. You might start by trying to wear them for 8 1/2 hours or something at first.

By the way, I like the mental image of your "hosing off" your contact lenses. ![]() |

But no, it's the Biofinity's that are lasting 2-3 weeks when they should be lasting a month...Waiting for the Oasys and depending on comfort and stuff, believe they're only supposed to last like 2 weeks and that would be great...But Bio's just get really uncomfy after 2 weeks no matter how many times I use clear care, MPS, etc.... |

Are all toric lenses supposed to last like 2 weeks? |

I think most of them are monthly but I know the Oasys are 2 weekers and I believe you can even buy daily ones. Check out the www.lens.com site and click on torics and they'll come up...Hope that helps |

Thanks aggiedude. I had the same question as AceofShades and when I saw your reply I checked Lens.com. When you click on the name of a particular brand of contact lenses, the next page usually has a description that tells you how long you can wear that brand. However, Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism does not have that description. Maybe someone from Lens.com will see this and respond.

I already knew the Oasys were 2 week lenses just from studying for the past few weeks, but here's the actual site of the lens if you're interested in looking/learning about them. And I agree, lens.com should put that they're 2 week lenses on the description...Have a great one; http://www.jnjvision.com/products-acuvue-oasys-for-astigmatism.htm# |

Well folks, I'm kind of in the same boat.....Got a pair of Oasys for Astigmatism yesterday and do NOT like the comfort at all and I'm not seeing as well, but that could be the RX....But the lenses themselves just feel bigger and bulkier in the eye and much more noticeable than the Biofinity's...Not sure what the doc wants to do yet but will follow up when I do.

If Biofinity's were a 2 week lens this fella would be happier than heck....That's about the "comfortable" time I get with them....I just got done trying Air Optix which actually were "ok" but not as comfy as Biofinity's and yesterday I picked up a trial pair of Dailies Toric and hated those immediately.

Got that right unclear....Those Focus Dailie Torics truly were nasty to me....Felt really "tight" and sticky sort of; just weird and not wanted in my eyes...

Good. I guess it's like they say about women finding a husband: they may not have found "Mr. Right" yet, but maybe they can be happy with "Mr. Okay-For-Now."

I've been wearing Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism for the last 3 years, and I've found them to be alright. Acceptable vision, good comfort, but a little dry. I got a trial pair of the Biofinity from my optometrist, and they were torture. The top edge was constantly scratching against the inside of my eyelid or my eyeball, and my optometrist said she could actually see dry patches on my left eyeball when she examined me!!! :S Your mileage may vary.
I'm currently trying out Air Optix for Astigmatism and I'm getting the same top edge scratching issue. I can't wait to rip these lenses out of my eyes when I get home. Think I'm going to stick with the Oasys. I'd rather use eye drops every now and then for the dryness, than have to feel the scratching all day long! |

Yes, even had this experience. Bioinifnity and air optix can be felt in your eye throughout. And oasys does not feel so . however, oasys dries up easily.

Hey, I don't get it. Why would tearing up cause dry eyes to burn? Wouldn't moisture make your eyes feel better?

Q. Why do my eyes burn whenever I cry? It almost as if my tears burn them. Please help. A. This may be because you rub your eyes. The tears themselves do not burn the eye. They are produced by lacrimal glands, and are very much compatible with your eyes. Next time when you have to cry, try not to rub your eyes and may be you can apply a cold wet cloth on the closed eyes. I can always wish that you will never a gain have a reason to shed tears, Jawa, but in this life, I'm afraid that's not very likely. At least now you know what to do to prevent that burning sensation. Hey maybe some of you ladies and go see a chick flick and test this theory for us. |

I summer from extremely dry eyes. When you wrote that you can wear them for 6-8 hours, well, that's a dream for me! Within about an hour my eyes are red and sore and soooo dry. I can't even tell you how many times my contacts have dried out and STUCK to my eye. Even with the constant use of rewetting drops, and when I say "constant" I mean at least once an hour if not more often. The contacts still get stuck to my eye. Very very stuck. They turn bright red instantly. I wear Acuvue Oaysis and that's what happens to me personally. I'm about to switch to Preference Toric, because I've read a lot of reviews and heard they're one of the least drying, hopefully they work. I'm going to get them in a week or so and I'll let you know how those work out for me. They wanted to test Biofinity on me but I said "no" because I read too many reviews where they got stuck to people's eyes from them drying out. It's something I don't even want to risk, it's such a painful and scary experience getting on stuck to your eye, at least it was horrifying for me! But honestly, I don't think that any of acuvue's lenses for astigmatism work well with dry eyes, oasys in my personal opinion is mostly a marketing scam. I think a lot of people just buy acuvue because it's a popular brand and it's marketed more than any other brand so you know the name. Personally, I think there are much better options out there, because there's no way their lenses are the best when they're sooo uncomfortable for dry eyes.

Do you mean "thirsty" Eyerobot? That's one that Spell Check didn't catch.

That picture up there reminds me of a comment I heard on America's Funniest Home Videos: "No matter how much you try, you just can't wash the cute off this kid."

Awesome Star Destroyer picture, CousinMuscles! Do you wear Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contacts?

Make sure you're wearing your contact lenses when you go to the movies. You don't want to miss a spectacle like that.
