OptiGear Soft Lens Inserter/Remover Item Description: Do you work on the computer for extended periods of time? Many people who work with computers suffer from headaches and eyestrain associated with computer vision syndrome. These glasses have a special tint that helps to reduce glare and the intensity of the light produced by the average computer monitor, and a special UV coating that blocks UV rays produced by monitors and flourescent lighting. The glasses also have a slight correction, similar to reading glasses, that helps the eyes to easily focus on the computer screen without undue strain. However, they are designed for people who do not need vision correction or who wear contact lenses to correct their vision. Two styles available: Oval (shown on left) and Rectangle (shown on right)

Question:
I'm trying contacts again after an unsuccessful 3-month trial about 8 years ago. This time with disposables. My trial pair are Softlens 66 Toric.

My question is, after about 7 hours, they become so dry I cannot see the keyboard (I'm a webmaster and am online for 8+ hours at a stretch). Even with putting rewetting solution (B&L sensitive eyes) in my eyes every hour or so, when I remove them, they're all sticky. Any suggestions?

Answer:
Use RENU to clean them very very well before put them in the eyes (your hands very clean, too), and check with your doctor because it's pretty clear to me you have a problem with the dryness of your eyes (I wearing soflens66 sometimes 20 hours a day, I'm a programmer too).

On the other side, keep in mind two things:

1. It's normal the lens to appear dirty and sticky after you remove them from your eyes. But when they are on the eyes, clean-mounted and well-fitted, after a blink they appear smooth.

2. Do not forget you are wearing TORIC lenses, and your bluriness could come from bad fitting of the axis. It's normal from time to time the axis to change, in time you will learn how to deal with it. I have an axis at 7 degrees, therefore I'm wearing one lens with 10degrees axis, and it's pretty complicated, even because of only 3 degrees difference. Advice: if you axis is more than 170 or less than 10 degrees, wear lenses with 0 degrees axis.

I don't know who reccomended you to start with toric lenses, but it is a BAD idea. I reccomend you to do what I've done: start with regular soflens 66 for spheric AND glasses (glasses only for cylinder). After you get used with that (3-4 months), switch to soflens66 toric. You'll fins the TORIC as being SUPER, because the fabric really is better at toric lenses, they are thicker which HELPS (!!!), and you are already used to contacts.

And do not imagine that if you put a toric lens in ANY wrong axis position it will fit the axis in the end. If you put them wrong, it could need hours to get in position!, so put them in the right position from the beginning, using the 6 o'clock marks.

My oppinion: for regular lenses, Johnson&Johnson are the best, for toric B&L and CIBA vision are the best.

And do not trust the text on the RENU Multiplus box: RUB! It's important to rub the lenses starting with the 3rd day of wearing one pair, every evening, with dedicated solution (B&L pink-box one).

For rewetting, I recommend lots of RENU if you wear toric lenses, any other dedicated rewetting solutions causes bluriness in the first 2 minutes after rewetting (in my case).

In my oppinion, you only have 2 problems: problems with the dryness of the eye, which could be solved by a doctor, and lack of experience with toric lenses, which could be gathered in time.
