👓About This Video: In this video, Dr. Vijay Shenai, an eye doctor, explains why he thinks that Precision 1 by Alcon and Infuse by Bausch and Lomb are the best contact lenses of 2020. Both of these are new contacts that were released in 2020, and have proven to be exactly what contact lens wearers need. Ease of handling, higher water content, less lens awareness on the eye, and UV protection are all considerations made when these contacts were being designed. Ask your local eye doctor to try these lenses at your next eye exam. You will not be disappointed!

This doctor is cool and knowledgeable and keeps up with the latest trends in corrective vision. Great info!
Thanks so much!!
I am very interested in trying these out. Thanks for the suggestions!
Sounds good!!
Great Review.. I just received my B+L INFUSE contacts and boy, are they AWESOME...
Great! I think they are awesome too!!
Wow, so much to consider with contacts now. It see6m to be so much more customized to the patients needs and not generic!!
New lenses are coming out every year, so there is no excuse at least to try!
I just used up a 10-day trial of the precision 1 toric lenses (Just released weeks ago according to my doc) and they are amazing. Very pricey but so good I couldn't resist buying them. Wish my insurance provided more coverage for them.
I agree. I haven't heard any complaints since we started giving them out either. And yes, I'm not a fan of the insurance run around either!
HOW MUCH?
Great info! For someone with -1.00 D of astigmatism, should they wear -0.75 cyl or -1.25 cyl since that's what contact lenses go up by? My doctor made me wear the -0.75 ones because they don't want to overcorrect it but I can't see very clearly.
We always try to go less than more becuase more power can cause headaches and eye strain. If you are still having issues, then you should call your eye doctor and see if they can recheck your prescription over top of your contacts. So wear your contacts and see what they can add to it to make your vision better.
Great amount of information! Wish I could wear contacts!
Let's do it!!
Great info. I've never tried daily contacts because I'm CHEAP! I wear bifocals contacts (not sure what the proper term is for them). Howmuch more expensive would dailies be in a bifocals lenses?
Great questions! Depending on the multifocal lens you use, there may be a daily version of it. The price definitely jumps up, and it can vary depending on where you get it, but if you think about how much you could save by no longer buying solution, it should even out in the long run. But either way, if your eyes are healthy and you wear your contacts the way you should, there is no reason you should need to change, but don't be afraid to try something new just for fun!!
Im an OD Tech and CLO
Been wearing contacts since i was 11
I'm 28 now. -8.00 -1.75 x180
High prescription lol
Precision 1 toric and Total 1 toric are hands down the best. I wish i could wear Infuse, our states B&L Rep did say they were in the works for Infuse toric ☺️
P1 Torics were not around when I made this video, but I would agree. P1 is great, and that is exciting about Infuse Toric. Can't wait to try those out.
Hello :) please tell me if I can order the B&L Infuse with the same power as the Dailies total one ?
You can unless you are wearing multifocal lenses. If not, then you should have no problem as long as you have a prescription for Infuse. Your eye doctor may want to see it on your eye first before they finalize the prescription.
I have to wear reading glasses +2.00 . I just went to the eye dr. to ask about MONO.. contacts.. They gave me infuse I am having a hard time getting use to them in one eye.. but I watched your video .. You said Multi focal can you explain this? would this be better.?? My doctor did say I have a stigmatism.. but gave me the Mono anyway... I haven't picked up the RX yet...
A lot of good questions. Monovison is a good option, but not everyone like how monovision feels. Multifocal contacts are like bifocals, where both eye can see far away and up close together at the same time. It's not like a bifocal in design, where you have to move your head to read. It's easier than that. If you do have astigmatism, then you should look into either Ultra Multifocal for Astigmatism and Biofinity Toric Multifocals.
I wanna get the daily contact lenses but I don’t want to wear them everyday. Like I only wanna wear them on special occasions or like if I don’t want to wear my glasses a few times. Is that possible?
That is the best case scenario. You could make a 3 month supply last for a very long time! That is what I do!
What would be the ideal contacts for sports ( cricket). On a low light conditions.. power of -2.25 on both the eyes and one eyes has got spherical - .25
I love any contacts that have added UV protection because I know that you are not just playing in low light setting, but most contacts are good for low light. Although, I would definitly recommend daily/single use contacts because playing cricket can be a dusty game, and having the ability to throw them away at the end of the day would be beneficial. Hope this helps!!
@@TrueFocusEyeCare thank you so much .. would you also recommend any particular lenses or is there any tinted contact lenses that can enhance the vision??
Any feedback on Precision One for astigmatism? as i know they’re fairly new.
The same technology used to make Precision 1 comfortable is used in th P1 for Astig as well, so we know that comfort will be great. And the same technology Air Optix Hydraglyde for astig uses that gives it clear, stable vision is what P1 will be using. I just started giving these as trials to our patients, so I'm looking forward to the feedback.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare thank you if you have enough feedback for a video do make one as i am a fan :) . I will be trialing these lenses as well.
@@wendya3565 I just tried them and ordered them. Best contacts I've worn yet.
I just tried Precision One for Astigmatism. They’re the best contacts I’ve tried yet. I used Dailies aquacomfort plus before. Theyre okay, just super thin and sometimes they broke in my eye when I tried to take them out (so I had to get my partner to pinch it out of my eye multiple times). The precision 1 material seemed stronger, so I hope no more of that nightmare. Highly recommended for the comfort!!!
@@jrusaidy I had to do a double take to see if I wrote that post. Everything and I mean everything in your post has been my exact same experience.
Are there any 1 day contact lenses you recommend for astigmatism and +5.25, +4.00 prescription? I’ve been looking but most go up to +4.00 unless they’re biweekly or higher
That is a tough one. You are right. It is hard to find a single use lens in that power, but you can look into My Day Toric lenses. I believe these do go up to +6.00. Talk to your eye doctor to see if you can try them to see if they are a good fit for you.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare thank you!!
I decided not to get lasik cause it wears off i rather get the best contacts, ty for this video
No problem! Glad you liked it!!
Does the bausch and lomb ultra for astigmatism come in a daily throw away?
No, all of B&L's Ultra family of contacts are only monthly, but B&L does have a Daily disposible contact lens called Biotrue that corrects for Astigmatism. It would be the next best thing for people with astigmatism that wants to get into single use lenses. So that's Biotrue for Astigmatism. Give it a shot... We have a lot of patients that like it, but you don't know if it's right for you until you try it!! Thanks for the question.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare wow, didn't expect a reply and so quickly thank you. The daily by bausch and lomb will they also work for presbyopia. I'm currently using a trial of the bausch and lomb ultra multifocal for astigmatism and really like them but I think a daily would be much more convenient than a monthly. Thanks for considering my question.
@@JW-_ Unfortunately, B&L does not have a single use version of the Ultra MF for Astigmatism lens. I love that technology, but I would love to see it in daily CL also.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare sorry my question was the biotrue. You said that's a daily. Sorry for the confusion
@@JW-_ No, Biotrue does not have a Multifocal Toric combo at this time. Hopefully soon, though!
LOL soundclip of CDNthe3rd @4:54
Are Infuse hard to remove from eye? Alcon dailies total1 are difficult to remove 🙁
They are easier! This was one of the objectives that Alcon was trying to solve because they knew that dailies total 1 gave a lot of people trouble.
Yes, they are easier!! This is one of Alcon's reason for this lens. They knew people were having difficulty with Dailies Total 1.
If price is not a factor, do you feel the Alcon Precision or Alcon daily total is more comfortable?
Good question, but you may not like my answer! It depends on the person's eyes. I don't notice a difference between the two, but I have patients who say it's a night and day difference where Daily Total 1 is so much comfier. Just ask your doctor to try both and see what your eyes tell you! Hope that helps!!
For me is exactly the opposite, dt1 too much watery and blurry vision all the time, precision 1 way much better without blurriness vision. There's not a rule in contacts the most expensive the better, you have to try with your own eyes.
That would be a sweet contact lens to see who texted you though!
Lol, I heard that when I was editing the video. That was the last time I have my phone on me when I shoot a video 🤦🏽♂️
@@TrueFocusEyeCare I mean a “smart” contact lense would be 😎 like futuristic
Haha, so then I just have up a mistake for free! Oh well. Yes, you're right, it would be sweet to get notifications that way
Hi guys do you know warda contact lenses?
I have not heard of that one.
Oky thanks
Isn't it weird that all monthly contacts are made with different materials and are rated exactly for 30 days? I sometimes wear mine for over 2 months and when I put new ones in they feel the same.
Some people will never feel the damage that's occurring in their eyes when they over wear contacts. It's the length of time that the lens remains breathable that determines whether it's a monthly, 2 weeks or daily lens. And the reason for the different materials are due to patents on that material. And some people can't wear every material. But if you keep wearing over a month, it will catch up to you.😳
@@TrueFocusEyeCare What about acuvue oasys and vita? They are bi-weekly and monthly lenses made of same material.
@@Acenis this is because they are made by the same company, but with differing center thicknesses, they will have different times that they need to be replaced. If you want to understand all the precautions at a greater level and not just take it at face value from an eye doctor who you may believe they are trying to take advantage of you, then think about going to an Optometry school as a student or ask an Optometry professor who has no affiliation with any company but only desires to teach about the eyes and how to preserve their function.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare Just wanted to know if they are engineered to last exactly 30 days as a safe limit or it's conveniently decided. I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable with my questions. It's easy to say "go to optometry school" but some people just can't afford it. Thanks for the conversation anyway.
@@Acenis not a problem at all. I get it everyday. People ask me questions to try to pull a "gotcha" on me in order to justify their poor habits. But my answer is will always be if you don't want to believe me then ask someone else who has not vested interest, except that they are experts in the topic. I think that's a smart way to investigate any uncertainty in life!
The best monthly is alcon total 30 by far.
I love Total 30. But it wasn't around when I made this video!
@@TrueFocusEyeCare is total 30 better than biofinity energy's? I am on the computer all day.
@@PatrickA1 great question. Biofinity Energys was made to make it easier to focus on a computer screen, but I have noticed many patients state that they don't notice much of a difference, so get the lens that gives you the best comfort and vision, but a bonus for Total 30 is that it provides protection from both UVA and UVB.
How much does it cost?
Hard question because it's different every where you go and whether you get a 30 count or a 90 count, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month or year supply. And if you have vision insurance, it will be even less, but the cost per box can actually range between $40 - $90 per box.
