Thank you for the video. Please tell me hard RGP lenses if you haven't worn them for more than eight months and haven't changed the solution, can they be washed with a special solution and used or does it carry a big risk?

Jokes on me, I can't get glasses, even with bargain bin frames, for less than $300USD. It's great! (Sarcasm intended). At this point, the cheapest walmart contacts are almost less than my glasses š

The reason Iām switching to contacts (daily) is because the glasses fall off your face and get fogged up/ dirty/ and scratches more easily. I do have prisms in my glasses which I cannot get in my contacts, which is sad.

Glasses are annoying! They are next to impossible to keep clean .. also, I wear hearing aids and find itās a hassle to go from glasses to sunglasses every time I go in and out of a building. Iāve recently gone back to RGP lenses and love the difference. My glasses will stay at home to be used if I need them for backup, but happy to have my contacts.

I find progressive glasses to give the best overall vision without some of the negatives of contacts (tired sore eyes particularly towards the end of the day).I wear contact lenses when I feel like it, particularly when its hot & I cant stand my glasses slipping down my nose all the time!! I've discovered that contact lenses have become problematic around the age of 50 when I started getting presbyopia in addition to being myopic,hard gas permeable lenses provided the clearest vision but were continually uncomfortable & I was ALWAYS aware they were in my eyes,soft lenses are certainly more comfortable but the vision is not as good,mono vision contacts gave me headaches and eyestrain,multi focals were just not particularly good at ANY distance!! So....I wear my progressive glasses mostly as they are simply the most reliable, particularly at work.I wear my contacts periodically just for a change & wear 'readers' over my contacts!! Why does vision have to be so complicated once you reach 50?!!

I did use (soft) contact lenses for about a year and i did switched back to glasses because glasses are easier to use because you don't have to wash them daily and they don't irritate my eyes and glasses are cheaper, and lenses are frustrating to put in and out.

Glasses always left the dreaded red marks on my nose and the indentation. Back in the day the contacts were fitted to your eye and your vision, not so much now. Kind of one size fits all - argh. I don't like the soft lenses. they bend or flip in the eye. I'm now waiting for another hard lens to see if we can get it fitted so I get that crystal clear vision that soft lenses don't provide. It is extremely annoying. Many times I just don't bother with the soft that I have because I don't get much improvement, so I'd rather not wear them at all.

i wore glasses for around 7 years for myopia but they recently started giving me headaches, i tried changing the prescription, the frame, adjusting itā¦ nothing worked. I have been using contacts for two months now and it has been a game changer. I do feel some discomfort towards the end of the day but itās mostly solved with a couple of rewetting drops.

I am getting prescription safety glasses for work and my contacts will be for everyday wear
@robdaman6190Switched to contacts after 30+ years and since Iām into cosplay, itās more convenient. I got rewetting drops for occasional dryness. Iām happy
@robdaman6190If you donāt have any specific needs, then, if you look sexy with specs, go for specs. If you look ugly with specs, go for contacts. Itās as simple as that.
@dineshraj256Contacts were good for me up until recently when I went to order more and saw that price š®. Made the switch back to glasses and my eyes (and wallet) feel much better
@HalsafeLasik eye surgery ftw
But also i have astigmatism so glasses š Excellent quality glasses from zennis can be as low as $18!
Hello sir. My eye sight is+5 , i am using spectacles from 15 years, still I am not able to select suitable spects size. I think due to small or medium size spects frames, i am not feeling well while I am reading books. Due to this reason I think, i backwardness in studies. If i wear contact lenses I am feeling good, and i can able to focus on studies perfectly. But due to side effects of contact lenses I am not using contact lenses. If i use spects, i am not able focusing on studies šššššššš.
Can you help me sir, pleaseššš , how to overcome this problem. Please
Thank you for presenting the pros and cons of wearing glasses or contact lenses. I prefer to wear glasses because I'm not too coordinated when it comes to putting in contact lenses. And I think I look nice with glasses.
@melissacooper8724For a pack of six 30day contacts is 140 bucks in my case, granted, my prescription is in the 1% so they are very custom made
@Idkmang69I have plus4.25 in my os and plus 1.75 in od. I have tried progressives and couldn't get used to them . tried bifocals and cant get used to that. do you think contacts can help?
@angler152One thing people have to learn , is that internet is not reality , things behind š¤ the internet are a fantasy .
@HusseinJoudee-ik7hbMan the internet is a fantasy , because real life is different , so in real life all of these videos on the whole internet are a fantasy , a lot .
@HusseinJoudee-ik7hbi have been playing vr, airsoft, and many other things, my glasses are always getting in the way of everything and they always get smudged with anything i do. Im thinking of switching to contacts
@Sexy_t1Honestly both are uncomfortable for me..š
@lucilleagate@DrEyeGuy thank you! love your videos. i do have dry eyes... and now presbyopia, and I keep wanting a contact lens option, but maybe I have to just resort to glasses.... sigh.
@euniciousI had an optometrist tell me that soft contact lenses can be cleaned and reused. So I did that for many years using an enzyme soak solution as well as the daily cleaning soaking cleaning sterile storage process. So I used to buy disposables and make them last for many months until they tore or just stop feeling comfortable. Any views on this? I haven't used contacts for years though but I'm considering it again.
@subs4794I'm new to your channel and still searching your videos but do you have any in regards to strengthening and improving vision through exercises? I recall the past overall professional opinion that none of these have been proven the last time I checked but it goes against my intuition to agree with that considering vision loss is often directly caused by muscle degradation.
@subs4794You are my favourite YouTuber ever ,I always feel reassurance when i look at ur videos because I always stress about my eyes ,keep up the good work šāØā¤ļø
@AjayWafflerEvery single time I watch your videos, I learn something unexpected. For example, I didn't know for clearest vision, eyeglasses reign supreme. This is huge, as I no longer have FOMO for not trying contacts. You are amazing, thoughtful and you explain things really well. Thank you.
@High-Tech-GeekI have always had astigmatism with blurry and double vision. I wore hard lenses in high school and found it strange that my lazy I would straighten up when they were in. Then in my thirties I tried soft lenses and could just never get used to them. 6 years ago I had an iridotomy done on both eyes and I wouldn't use contacts again. The one thing I miss about contacts is the peripheral vision.
I stay with glasses now that I'm almost 50. I wear sports goggles when I work and they have saved my eyes a lot of times. One thing I would recommend when buying glasses, is to ask for them to order a new set of frames and not take the ones that are in the store on display. I have always had problems with expensive frames snapping in the bridge or the hinge with the display frames. I believe too many people pull on the arms and twist to show that they Flex.
Recently I ordered from VR wave lenses for my Quest 2. I hope that it makes my VR experience more enjoyable. And wanted to say thank you for the 5% discount.
Dr. EyeGuy, I have a question. I've been wearing contacts for about 3 weeks now (about 4 to 5 days per week). The problem I'm having is that after wearing them for a few hours my eyes start feeling dry and get a little blurry. I have to keep using re-wetting drops. I use Opti-Free drops. When I get to about 8 to 10 hours of wearing them it gets even worse and I'm having to use the rewetting drops more often until it's just unbearable and I need to remove the contacts. Are my eyes still adjusting or do you think there is a fitment issue? I've tried several brands but found that the most comfortable ones for me are the Alcon Total 30 lenses so far. Thanks!
@SilencedByYoutubeI think the biggest take-away from this is that everyone's circumstances are specific to them, and the "best" solution is whichever works best for the patient. For myself, I don't have any of those advanced conditions you speak of--just general presbyopia--and I get the best clarity with monovision contacts. I recognize that my experience may not be typical, and that's the point--there are some generalities, but at the end of the day, everyone's experience may or may not fit the general guidelines listed in the textbook.
@ajs11201Loving the videos! Keep āem coming
@mtchism55Sir plz tell me ,tmj disorder casuses dry eye?
@yubrajpaudel2355I wear Multifocal contacts and it corrects my level of presbyopia the best. I don't get the clarity with my progressive lens glasses as with my contacts. Progressive lenses definitely take some getting use to.
@prettyboy46402Good evening ! I am from indore and work in the software industry. Recently, I had 1.25 addition power lenses made for both my eyes using Verilax Liberty progressive glass. However, I did not feel comfortable working on the computer for long periods of time, so I switched to intermediate lenses, which work better for me, but without the added power.
I have a question regarding Eyezen lenses. Is it possible to customize them to include only intermediate distance as well as our own add power of 1.25 from Rx prescription into their lens? I am looking for a computer lens with an added power of 1.25. Please advise if this is possible.

@nitinranaofficial7:36 could that distortion cause ghost/false images? As in you think you see something out of the corner of your eye, you turn your head to look, then there's nothing there. Prescription is approximately a -5 in both eyes, with esotropic strabismus.
@lexington476I've never cared to use contacts, I have some hang up about putting them on my eyes. Perhaps a lingering effect of having three eye surgeries as a yong child.
