Default Acuvue Oasys Lens Making Eyes Red

Most people people love Acuvue Oasys contact lenses. When I do hear or read complaints, it's usually something about redness and irritation of the eyes. How is it that people can get sore eyes from these contacts while most people wear them quite comfortably?

Have heard its an issue with the Hydraclear. Women usually notice an incompatability first while it appears in men sometime down the road. Some sort of link between the properties of Hydraclear and makeup. Women find out sooner as they have developed sensitivities to makeup ingredients and thus react sooner, while men typically don't wear makeup, thus taking longer for the problem to rear its head. No concrete data on this, but makes some sense.

So does that mean that a woman will notice the symptoms first and say "A-ha, I must be having some sort of reaction to the contact lenses," or is it that they develop the symptoms sooner because their systems are sort of "on alert" already from the makeup?

Am I understanding correctly?

That's interesting fschultz4is. I wonder if anyone else has any "concrete data" on this makeup and contact lens theory?

Default X-Files, = Love

I have a very fond place in my heart for the X-Files. Probably the BEST tv series ever made. I am a GREAT X-files fan, I loved it.

back to business, I did not say Acuvue Oasys lens were bad, i said if you can't wear those, try Biofinity. All lenses have good and bad points, so if you can't wear one type, try another. and that doesnt mean that if your satisfied with one lens, there is not something better available for your particular situation.

my user ID = rfriel, not rfrielxxxxxxxx, i had to add xx's to make the post long enough to post on the site but ended up confusing the situation.

I agree that if you have a problem with one lens, by all means, try another one. That's why there are so many different kinds of contact lenses, because there's no one kind that's good for everyone. Some people don't like wearing contact lenses at all.
I think packman was asking you explain why you recommend Biofinity if Acuvue Oasys doesn't work for you. It sounds like he/she was setting up a soapbox and a microphone for you to tell the world about Biofinity.

Arrow i didnt recommend

i said , "try"......google biofinity, 3rd GEN SiHy, new polymer, not 1st/2nd GEN polymer. the relation between H2O, modulus, Dk/t, surface treatment (i.e. none) departs from 1st/2nd GEN SiHy.

even if your not having a problem with a lens, there still might be a better lens newly availble. just cause your satisifed donsnt mean you can't look further

Well, sure but if you're satisfied, why keep looking? It's like when someone says "I was looking for this thing all day and I finally found it in the last place I looked." Of course you did. Why keep looking after you've found what you were looking for?

Of course, if they introduce a shiny new kind of contact lens, you might want to give it a try as well. If it turns out you don't like it though, that means you will have gone through the trial and after all was said and done, you'd just go back to your regular lenses.

Yeah I don't quite understand either why I'd want to try new contact lenses if the ones I have are perfectly satisfactory. Still, it might not be a bad idea to try something new. Your eye doctor might even tell you "The contacts you're wearing are good, but these are even better." Has anyone here experienced that?

Default I decide what contacts I wear, NOT OD

the OD is a fitting tool that tells me if a lens fits the curvature of my own cornea. the OD doesnt tell me what to wear, I decide. the OD is a tool, that's all. i am responsible for my eyecare, healthcare, not the doc, the doc is only a tool.

OK, I think we got it. Nobody said that you can't decide what contact lens to wear. Of course you are responsible for your own eye health. Did I miss something in an earlier post?

a bunch of friken' swear words, that's all you missed, oh and the fact the the OD i see is more of a KNOB than a tool, what'd you expect of walmart OD's, they arent there for the pay, that's for sure, but they're sure cheap

My eyes hated oaysis. So much so that i'm not even going to look up the spelling . My sisinlaw used to do R&D for Vistikon who manufacture these. She said you'd be surprised how many people are allergic.

On another note, several years ago i was a contact lens abuser (sleeping with them a lot when they werent extended wear) and i gave myself "pink eye". It kept returning for over a month. Finally the nurse at my dr office asked if i wear acuvue because she had that same problem and ended up being allergic. I wasnt wearing acuvue and i wasnt allergic to my contacts BUT the assault on my eyes by my make up plus the contacts did it. I had to switch brands of makeup. I can wear any makeup now but for a while i was hypersensitive.

And no i wasnt reinfecting myself. I was throwing everything away ans being pedantic about washing. So i agree with the above posts regarding sensativity being increased in women who wear makeup for noticing problems with contact allergies


And i typed this via iphone so sorry for my awful grammar etc

you are correct, allergic reaction to oasys is very possible. that is why it's good to have a choice of silcon hydrogel material. biofinity is another good option for 3rd Gen SiHy if oasys, air optix dont work......

Perhaps you should pay a little more for an OD that's neither a knob nor a tool?

and they know it. lets see, $500 or $40 for the same freakin' service, hmmm, paying more doesnt mean you get more. that's why walmart is in business, people aren't going to pay high prices for same crappy service, if i really got better service elsewhere, i would pay for it, but the OD's that charge outrageously high prices provide the same crappy service, so why pay the higher price?

I will have to disagree with your title that says "all OD's are knobs, (i.e. tools)". You haven't met them all, so how can you say that? You obviously have not met my eye doctor, he does a good job, answers my questions, gets my prescription right and he takes my insurance, so I don't have to pay a lot for his services, which rarely are required more than once a year.

I'm sorry you've had problems with eye doctors.

I would hope that an eye doctor with a private office and years of experience would give you better service than a Wal-Mart doc with a tiny office space next to the cafeteria.

so now office size is equated to service quality?? there's no relation, and years of experience can be had by any OD, regardless of office size. You go ahead and overpay for your serive, I couldnt give a RATS @$$. Walmart is NOT the #1 world retailer because NO ONE shops there. just like MCD's is not the #1 worlds burger maker because no one goes there. do you have any common sense or do you have to over pay for that too?? just wondering?? which by itself proves the point above, but that will escape you too...... which you will prove by some sort of half twisted response.

You've got a really nasty attitude, rfriel. I'm sorry we don't know everything like you apparently do. Just because a person does not agree with you doesn't mean you can question their common sense and insult their intelligence. How dare you?

If an eye doctor is good at what they do, they will make lots of money and can afford to buy their own spacious office in its own building, instead of renting a corner of a discount store, so I think Lucyfur makes some good sense.

I'm sorry you were offended by the digs against Wal-Mart. Do you own shares of their stock or something? I've never heard anyone leap to the defense of a discount store like that.

This is a friendly website where people come to help each other, not call each other names and make comments about "half-twisted responses." If you can't play by the rules, then you won't be allowed to play. People have been banned from this site before. It's rare, but it does happen. Just keep shooting your mouth off and see what happens. You'll have to take your high and mighty attitude somewhere else.

This is not a forum for "heat." If you want a fight, go somewhere else.
