I used to wear these lenses and they were the only ones that suit me. Now I've been told that they've been discontinued for a 3 months or so, due to manufacturing issues, so they're offering everyone Acuvue Advance instead. However, I had a really bad reaction to these lenses, so don't know what to do! I've been given some daily disposables to try, but as I have dry eyes, I doubt they'll be ok for me. Anyhow, I guess I don't really have a clear question!! I just wanted to know if anyone else has the same problem?? My eyes are still sooo painful (not just sore/uncomfortable..painful!!) and I tried the Acuvue Advance on Monday! kazaa View Public Profile Send a private message to kazaa Find all posts by kazaa #2 19-04-2007: 19th April 2007 12:02 Miss_Scarlett Requires fairydust accompanied by a strumming harp My Societies Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: the kingdom that is united...

(each has their own brand)..... Ohh cool job..what exactly do you do? O2 Optix are monthly lenses..and they're the ones that are unavailable for a while. The daily ones that they've given me to try are just normal Specsavers dailies?? kazaa View Public Profile Send a private message to kazaa Find all posts by kazaa #4 19-04-2007: 19th April 2007 14:07 cjgbr Benevolent Member My Societies Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Purbrook, Portsmouth Posts: 888 Re: Does anyone wear O2 Optix contact lenses?? no Hello all I'm 30, live in Purbrook nr Waterlooville.

My eyes are still sooo painful (not just sore/uncomfortable..painful!!) and I tried the Acuvue Advance on Monday! I doubt a reputable optician would have recommended dailies if they were not suited to you having dry eyes (I'm assuming you've told them this.) Are you sure your eyes are hurting from the trial of Acuvue Advance on Monday? If that's the cause then I definitely suggesting ringing your opticians now and explaining and perhaps they'll arrange for you to go in and sort it out further. If it's only a period of three months you're going to be without contacts, could you not wear glasses for this time? Although it may be worth getting used to a different lens incase this happens in the future. I used to work at an opticians and one of the lenses or solutions (I've forgotten the name now) we used became discontiuned but everyone managed fine on a suitable replacement.

Are dailies not suitable for people with dry eyes at all? Yes, I'm sure it was the Acuvue Advance that was causing the pain. I pretty sure because I tried them for one day about a month ago and had the same reaction. But then I thought perhaps it was just a coincidence, so tried them again on Monday and had the same reaction. My eyes were red, it was difficult to actually take them out, and the pain was almost unbearable These are the contacts they're giving everyone who were previously on O2 Optix, and apparently they're getting on even better with the Acuvue ones. It's just me! I did go to see them yesterday and they said there's not much else I can try for now... I've tried the day&night ones, but that wasn't a good option, because it took several hours for me to adapt to the lenses each day (i would feel them for about 4 hours) and I don't want to actually sleep in them..so at least 4 hours of my day would be uncomfortable. It seems as though no contacts suit me apart from the O2 Optix!! They're not even sure if they'll be available in 3 months..they said 3 months minimum! I'm so scared of even trying out the dailes..just in case they don't suit me and I'll have no option but to wear glasses..I know it's not the end of the world, but I've been wearing contacts for 4 years and really don't want to go back to glasses! kazaa View Public Profile Send a private message to kazaa Find all posts by kazaa #8 19-04-2007: 19th April 2007 16:59 coloursonthetv Exalted and Worshipped Member My Societies Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: locationlocation Posts: 1,068 Re: Does anyone wear O2 Optix contact lenses?? Originally Posted by kazaa Thanks for the reply. Are dailies not suitable for people with dry eyes at all? I'm not 100% sure but most contacts are designed to be really moisturised and dailies are a soft lens. I reckon you should try it at least. Don't you have any eye drops to help with the dryness? What sort of lens is the 02 Optix? Monthly? Daily? Gas permeable? Do you have a simple or complex, high perscription? I'm sure there's plenty more contacts in whichever category yours are/were. If your optician can only suggest Acuvue Advance or Dailies perhaps try elsewhere? Last edited by coloursonthetv : 19-04-2007 at 17:06.

The eye drops help for about an hour or so, hmm. I got some gel tears the other day..tried them overnight. Although you can't use them with contacts, so that kind of defeats the point, right? The O2 Optix are monthly silicon hydrogen lenses. The Acuvue Advance are also silicon hydrogels..hmm! They also said there'll be a new contact lens out soon, which should suit me (well, in theory). At the moment they're only available in minus powers..I'm plus 2.

Not to mention the fact if an optometrist makes the wrong decision they can get into serious trouble. I would imagine that this is only applicable to chain opticians; VE, Specsavers etc etc, not say, a locally run optometrists However, opticians such as specsavers offer 2 main brands разделы скачать длинный нард купить айсбест производственный тара штангенциркуль фосфорицирующая краска швейцария культура установка hotbird купить нипель купить угольник зал аэробика экг 4у герб область монитор видеодомофона, монитор, видеодомофон витрина подогреваемый восстановление файл пластиковый пакет букмекерский контора шанс электропечь dimplex model amesbury нард скачать хоссе карерас билет светлогорск внешний антенна вакуумный упаковочный сейфовые ячейка ивановец степ-аэробика peg perego venezia светоотражающий краска белый кофе купля производственный комплекс заказать обед холодильник оптом сделать пазл медикаментозный прерывание беременность вымпел светодиодный экран билет балет цвет dufour билет russia music awards ведро шампанский ваза 2111 билет большой тонирование стеклопакетов штангенциркуль измеритель петля фаза нуль видеосъемка i`m o.k./герои гроб motorola v3i купить tognana фарфор антенна купить широкоугольник газонокосилка black decker поставка тройник перех организация видеоконференция торговый витрина restart плита кружка снегоуборочный машина узи тошиба кбе теплолюкс проведение лотерея грунт градирня вентиляторные грд лотерея kiev apartments service монитор видеодомофона, монитор, видеодомофон гелусил лак холодильный агрегат восстановление удаленный информация уличный барбекю варочный поверхность cata горячий обед нард короткий решетка дренажный ферромолибден фосфорецирующая краска купить ножовка скребковый конвейер клеить нанесение кухонный техник санфаянс зеркало вагинальный степ-аэробика софт автошкола зеркало вагинальный бегущий строка теплолюкс сенсорный экран устройство холодильник бош гипсокартон решетка дренажный газонокосилка dolmar купить ниппель радиат скрипт рассылка объвлений macintosh компания доминике o2 optix
