All about cosmetic contact lenses

[timetraveller]

^ medyo mahal sya for php600++ noh? Tapos maximum of 3 months lang. Pero maganda talaga sya sis. Natural looking. Makabili na nga nito sa EO mamaya.

^ syempre napahanap ako ng lumang picture ko with Coffee!

very vibrant yellow-brown siya in person pero once in your eye nagbblend naman into a vibrant brown.

yung enhanced ba ng EO talagang 16diameter? sa website kasi nila 14 lang. Gusto ko kasi yung contact lens na 15diameter and above!

[dulcette]

^AFAIK ang max approved lang na diameter is 14.5 or 14.8 .. above that this is the "effect" diameter. di ko rin gets pero something about an enlarging effect. actual diameter should be less than 15.0, otherwise it would be a hazard to use for long periods of time.

anyone of you experienced "nagmumuta" while wearing contact lens for more than 5hours? Kasi im using a colored lenses from EO yung enhanced na may grade then I noticed that every 5hours and above nagmumuta na yung eyes ko. Is there anyone experience the same issue and is there anything we could do to prevent this? Hassle din kasi.

[dulcette]

^ sis, that indicates infection. i suggest you get a new pair. and when you do, make sure you follow all necessary steps, instructions, and cleaning schedules. even if a pair prescribed for use for 1 year or more, that doesnt mean they wont spoil earlier than prescribed.

Ganun sis infection agad? Eh yung lenses ko from EO parang 2mos ko pa lang sya nagagamit and I think since nung first day na ginamit ko sya after 5 hours or more nagmumuta na talaga yung eyes ko. For solution, I use solo care aqua and very sensitive ako sa cleaning. Everyday I change the solution sa lens container ko kahit hindi ko sinusuot. Hindi naman masakit sa eyes its just that after a while nagmumuta na sya

Just recently renewed my love affair with contact lenses in preparation for our wedding. When I bought a new pair of eyeglasses in 2010 because nag-worsen ang astigmatism ko, the SA in Ideal Vision was very helpful and guided me in picking up my first pair of contact lenses. The brand name was High Precision UV (it costs around Php500) and it should only be used for 3 months. Kaso since first time user, medyo naha-hassle ako with all the prepping (kahit mga 3x/wk ko lang gamitin) and medyo nabibigatan ako so I stopped using it.

But because of the upcoming wedding, I have to practice wearing it again (di ko pinangarap na naka-eyeglasses on my wedding day  , besides, ang hirap pala mag-work-out ng naka-glasses at manood ng 3D movie na nakapatong yung 3D eyeglasses sa mismong eyeglasses ko!). I dropped by Ideal Vision again and fortunately, they kept a record of the grade of my contact lenses. I was hoping nga that they could recheck again since 2 years ago pa yun pero may kasungitan si Ms. SA. Pero in fairness, the brand that she recommended (AirOptix) was really, really nice. Parang wala akong suot na contact lens. At mabilis din siyang ikabit. May baon lang akong lubricating solution sa work para mapatakan ko kahit di pa naman dry. It's quite more pricey though than my first brand (P560/pair for 30 days lang) pero it's all worth it naman.

For a moment, I was really tempted to ask for the colored lenses pero ewan ko ba, kuntento na ako sa clear contact lenses as an occasional reprieve for wearing eyeglasses. Isa lang masasabi ko sa paggamit ng contact lens: medyo kailangan talaga ng discipline to make sure always clean yung lens

@chinita05
 have you used other brands before? from experience kasi, i've found that EO lenses are crap. my 3 month lenses expire in one month. yes i did have eye gunk and my eyes felt heavy kaagad. i remember i had to take them out during lunch and switch to using glasses instead. after that i've invested in more expensive brands with thinner lenses. contact lens solutions should also be replaced within 90 days (i never let mine exceed two months just to be sure) as this can also be the cause. try to use a cleaning solution (not the multipurpose one) and clean them out as prescribed, removes proteins and dirt that solocare cant remove.

[chinita05]

Oh really sis? Yung lenses ko pa naman 1year ang expiry daw. I tried using the cleaning solution. Yun yung you will also soak your lens there diba? I only use my multipurpose solution for soaking purposes. I have a separate one for eyedrops (opti free lubricant). When I tried the cleaning solution sis and soak my lens there, kinabukasan when i get my lens from the case na nakababad sa cleaning solution, grabe sis ang hapdi namula yung eyes ko agad

[dulcette]

^ no sis im talking about he 5 minute rub and rinse solutions. Meron nito Septoclens. My 1 year lenses from eo expired in a month. Napunit kasi sa gitna.

[chinita05]

^ ang hassle naman non sis everytime I have to wear my lenses I have to a lot 5 minutes pa (tamad kasi ako hahaha). I checked my lens wala naman sya punit or gasgas eh. Before I was using EO contacts na din but I never had any muta reaction before. Sige na nga I will try to change my contact lens and solution to isolate the issue. I will try the contact lens from ideal vision.

[dulcette]

^ hindi sis, once a week lang siya lilinisin with that. what's nice with it is hindi mahapdi sa mata after mo irinse with your multipurpose solution. baka naman kasi sis, contact lenses arent really for your eyes. these lenses kasi come in a single diameter and curvature lang, baka your eyes are slightly different in those measures.

[chinita05]

^
sige sis I'll try to but a cleaning solution din. Sorry I forgot to mention that Ive been using contact lenses for 4years+ na and this time lang nangyari sakin yung pagmumuta. Thanks sa advice nyo

^ Sis, from what I know hindi nagkakalayo ang Sparkle sa Geo, and Authorized seller ito:

But nagtataka ako kung bakit ang mura niya... tapos good for 1 year.
Kung gusto mo talaga makasiguro go for the optical shops para sure ka na safe.

kasi po sa online, walang tax and pwestong binabayaran kaya po mura...

[pret_ty68]

Hi sis chinita05 parang pareho tayo yung last kung gamit nang contact lens kahit bago namumula mata ko tapos pag tinanggal ko na yung lens ang pula pula and paggising ko ang daming muta kaya nag stop na muna ako mag use nang contact lens dati di naman ganito hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari same brand of lens and same brand of solution pa rin naman gamit ko.

[Astraea]

magkwento lang po ako... medyo mahaba nga lang... 

nangyari na rin sakin yang dating pagmumuta at pamumula nung gumamit ako ng isang bad batch ata ng colored lenses sa EO. sobrang irritated pa yung eyes ko kasi hindi pumipirme sa gitna yung lense na isa after a specified amount of time... laging gumagalaw... as in para daw akong alien sabi ng mga nakakakita sakin kasi galaw ng galaw yung lense sa eyes ko tuwing nagbi-blink ako. magmumuta rin ako talaga na nasa eye mismo yung muta, hindi lang dun sa side ng mata... more of a mucus-like substance nga at hindi pa muta eh... nilinis ko ng maigi ang lenses ko tapos ginawa ko na rin yung monthly cleansing tablets para sa removal ng protein buildups pero ganun naiiritate pa rin eyes ko... d rin naman sira or punit yung lenses...

so I went to an optha na... may nilagay na parang powder dye yung doc sa mata ko tapos tiningnan nya sa instrument nya for dark light. nung nag-light up sa dilim yung parts ng dye sa mata ko (parang CSI lang! ahahaha!) tapos yun nga daw, nagkaroon ng bacterial infection ang mata ko bec of the lenses. parang ginagasgas daw yung surface ng eyeball ko kaya parang may mucus-like substance... sabi nya sakin itapon na yung lenses tapos dapat hindi ako magsuot ng lenses for at least a week to let my eyes recover.

good thing nawala naman ang infection sa mata ko pero talagang eyeglasses lang gamit ko nun for the time being. simula nun naging ilag na ako sa colored contact lenses. puro clear lenses na lang gamit ko pag lumalabas ako kasi mataas din masyado ang grado ng mata ko eh. Lucky naman na hindi na naulit ulit yung irritation sa mata ko... wala naman akong naging problem dati sa mga colored lenses ng EO so baka talagang bad batch lang nakuha ko nun...

pero ngayon nabi-BI na naman akong mag-try ng colored contact lenses... hehe... pero parang ayaw ng universe kasi yung mga stores like EO e walang stock ng colored lenses na nasa grado ko kasi sobrang taas nga daw... nagpaparamdam ba ang universe sakin?   

[clownpanget]

I super love the EO's Super Black 16 diameter My eyes became extraordinary than ever, like a doll. Kaya lang, sabi ng iba kong friends, mukha daw alien. Haha. Though, dapat samahan lang talaga siya ng fake eyelashes para mag mukhang normal eyes

[Lady Czarina]

ssooooooo....i bought my lenses na sa EO, 100 ang grade ng eyes ko they gave me lenses na may nakalagay na -1.00, which is my problem before pano kung bibili ako online ng lenses ng may grade eh puro -1.00 - -8.00 ang nakikita ko..so yun pala yun..hahaha... now i hehe...

[VannyVanvan]
