Frustrated! New to Oasys - please help!

kc529 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-16-2010, 03:59 PM

I'm a new contact lens wearer. Dr. gave me a trial pair of Oasys. Worked great! Ordered the year's supply. Opened first 2 boxes (right and left) - unbearable! blurry vision. Opened a different box - same thing. Brought them back. Dr. tested my eyes with them as well as with the "trial pair" that worked. Clearly a difference - Dr. thought maybe it was something about the way they were stored. He gave me another trial pair to tie me over (yeah! clear vision) and ordered an entirely new "year's supply" - different lot numbers and expiration dates.
Tried the new ones (from new "years-supply")yesterday. Same thing! Blurry and my vision is not aligned. Why would there be a difference between the single trial lenses and the "bulk" order? Any thoughts?? These were ordered from Costco. I would like to switch brands. What do you recommend that is close to Oasys? Help please!

Hello kc529

Welcome to Forum 101. Sorry to hear about your problems.

I have never tried Oasys lenses. However, I have worn Biofinity lenses. I was given a trial pair and to be honest, they were not as comfortable in my right eye as in my left (because I have slightly more astigmatism in my right eye). I think these trial lenses were a rebranded lens but it was still a Biofinity in origin.

When I ordered a pair of proper named Biofinity lenses, I found them much more comfortable, even in my right eye. I spoke with CooperVision who make the Biofinity lens and they assured me that the trial rebranded lens was identical to the Biofinity, BUT there could be manufacturing differences between the two lenses, but which were within their normal manufacturing tolerances.

Sometimes you do get a defective lens also.

I would give the lenses a thorough clean a couple of times and soak in fresh solution overnight. Then try again in case there is some chemical in the solution, which does not agree with your eyes.

If this does not help, contact Johnson & Johnson who should ask you to return one or all the lenses so they can make a technical examination of the lenses.

I do like the Biofinity lenses, but these are a monthly lens, rather than a 2 weekly lens that you have in the Oasys. If you can't get on with the Oasys, maybe you could try the Biofinity unless you have a specific reason for wanting a 2 weekly disposable lens. Both are silicone hydrogel.

Please do let us know how you get on.

Wow. Welcome to Lens 101, kc529. What a frustrating situation you're in. I wish I had a definite answer for you, but I've never heard of that happening to anyone.

So did your eye doctor order that entirely new years supply for you or did you do it yourself? Did you only try one pair of lenses from that new lot? It may be that you just happened to grab a bad pair. Try another pair or two.

You may also want to think about maybe finding another eye doctor. Perhaps you've been given the wrong prescription.

Another thing you can do is to try ordering your Acuvue Oasys contacts from Lens.com. They sponsor this site and I don't hear many complaints about their service around here. Here's where you can order more Acuvue Oasys contacts. All you need is your prescription: http://www.lens.com/contact-lenses/lens406.asp

Since you've gotten no relief from your eye doctor, maybe you should ask him/her to refund the money you spend ordering contacts on line. Good luck.

This is going to sound crazy but did you try cleaning them with solution before you put them in? At the DR, my first trial pair seemed fine but I also didn't keep them in more than a few minutes while he checked them.

When I use them on a regular basis, I always clean them first even though they are packaged in solution, it definitely seems to help. Hope you get everything straightened out!

That's a good suggestion, Cass Marie. Welcome to Lens 101. I hope kc529 thinks this is helpful as well.

Oasys are notorious for deposits build up and poor optical quality. I think doctors prescribe them simply because Jonson&Jonson are "market share leaders" If Jonson&Jonson will tell these doctors to use coke to clean them they would do that.
Biofinity is a way better lenses than Oasys and you should try them, just give yourself a week or two to adjust to them and you will be fine.

Sorry about that kc529. It looks like you've got some good answers here on the board, so I don't really have anything to add except my well wishes. I hope you're either able to find peace with the Oasys lenses or maybe find some more that will be more suitable.

Someone in another thread asked for the next best thing to Oasys and it looks like Acuvue Advance is pretty close.

Let us know how your situation works out, okay?

I distrusted this brand (Oasys) after I almost crashed my car while driving home after 12 hours shift because they've got clogged up and I couldn't see a thing.
Doctors like to say that this is because allergic reaction to silicon.
But Biofinity made of silicon also and I never have any problems with it as well as night and day and o2 optic from CIBA Vision.
The doctors have no clue why this happens.
Check this forum and you will see that many other people have same problems with Oasys. Stay away from it.

Hi dim0n. Welcome to Lens 101.

I'm sorry to read about the problems you've been experiencing with Oasys. I looked up what it was made of on Lens.com and it said "52% Polymer (comfilcon A)."
I've noticed that a lot of contact lenses are made of something the ends in "-ilcon." Does that mean silicon? If I see a material with the "-ilcon" suffix, can I assume the presence of silicon, just like "oxide" tells me that there's oxygen?

The more recent naming convention controls the naming of most contact lenses. Those ending in 'filcon' are Hydrogel lenses (which contain water). They may or may not be Silicone Hydrogel.

Lens materials ending in 'focon' are materials used in RGP lenses and generally do not contain any water. These materials are Silicone Acrylate or more recently Fluorosilicate Acrylic material.

All today's high-Dk soft lenses are made of silicone hydrogels materials.
Examples of silicone hydrogels are available on the U.S. market: CIBA Vision's Night & Day (lotrafilcon A) and O^sub 2^Optix (lotrafilcon B), Bausch & Lomb's Pure Vision (balafilcon A) and Vistakon's Acuvue Advance (galyfilcon A).
Whatever you call them

Yes, but there are still a lot of cheaper contact lenses still being sold (e.g. Bausch & Lomb SofLens Daily, etc. etc.) which are NOT silicone hydrogel and are low in Dk value.

I think most of the colour lenses are conventional hydrogel and also all the Daily Disposable Lenses are low Dk hydrogel (except J&J Acuvue TruEye, now available in the UK).

Hi Knotlob.

In an earlier post in this thread you mentioned Biofinity lenses. Would you recommend that to kc529 for the blurring problems that started this thread?

Oasys lenses are not made from Comfilcon A. They use 62% Senofilcon A instead.

The Biofinity (and it's rebranded equivalents) use Comfilcon A.

I already suggested that kc529 could try the Biofinity (see post #2), but the Biofinity lenses are monthly, rather than 2 weekly. If kc529 has no problems with a monthly lens, then of course it is worth a try.

StairMaster must have looked up the wrong contact lenses. I checked and lens.com has the correct information, Acuvue Oasys contact lenses are made of "62% Polymer (senofilcon A)" just like you said.

knotlob

Conventional materials (plastic lenses like 1 day Acuevue) rely on water content to increase Dk levels (higher water means higher Dk). The Dk of water is only 80, which places a ceiling on how high a conventional material's Dk can be. The relationship between Dk and water content in silicone hydrogels (Oasys) is quite the opposite, as higher water content means lower Dk.
With silicone hydrogel lenses, Dk/t climbs significantly as the silicone content - not water content - of the lens increases.
Currently, the highest Dk/t material available is lotrafilcon A (175 Barrers), but even higher Dk silicone hydrogel materials are on the horizon.
Trueye are good lenses and will be availabe on US market very soon (but were available in Europe for the last two years

)

A "google" is the funny name given to a number that consists of a number 1 followed by a hundred zeroes. It looks like this: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

You may just have the same problem I have: an unfavorable sensitivity to the moisture agent in generation-two silicone hydrogel lenses. I just switched to Biofinity lenses, and the blurry/cloudy vision I had with Oasys is gone.

They are as comfortable to me as the original Focus Night and Day lenses were. I love them. They are definitely software than the Focus N&D lenses, so they can fold more easily, but I haven't had them fold in my eye at all yet. The Biofinity lenses do not dry out easily either in my eye, and if I do wear them for an extended period (say, 18-20 hours or more), I can put in some Opti-Free RepliSH rewetting drops, and they will immediately be moist again.

My eye doctor says that I can wear the lenses for up to a week without taking them out, but still recommends removing them once a day and soaking them for 6 hours contiguously before reinserting them. So, while he says the FDA approves them for a week of continuous wear, he would not advise it, but wearing the lenses for 24 hours is ok, so long as they soak well afterward.

That's quite a thread you started here, kc529. It has spawned over 30 replies. Some of them even relevant.

I hope you're seeing clearly now with lenses fresh out of the box.
