Do u wear contacts?? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

For those that use Clear care, I got the CVS version. The first time I used it it was great. The 2nd time the case started bubbling the foaming solution out, like the top didn't fit properly and by the morning the case was half empty and my contacts were partially dried out. Do I need a new case or is it just the CVS case is more cheaply made? I tried to tighten the lid more, but on the box it specifically says do not overtighten. If I don't the liquid will come out!

Are you overfilling the container maybe? Mine had a fill line, just barely covering the contacts, and it would bubble over that line but never through the lid.

Yeah mine has a fill line. I fill up to that point then put in the lid with the contacts connected to the basket thingy. For some reason the box said don't put the solution in until the contacts are in, but how could you do that? That would mean you'd have to put the lid on and then how would you put in the liquid???

Oh that is weird! I don't think mine said that.

I use the Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism, I think maybe they call them Toric lenses? I've never used any other brand. I initially tried the first Toric lenses Acuvue came out with as a trial pair and they were terrible, wouldn't lay right and slid around my eye so I went back to a normal lens. However, my astigmatisms are getting worse and now I have one in both eyes. So I tried the newer Acuvue Oasys and they have been fantastic. I found where you can order a trial pair, but I'm not sure if it applies to the Toric lenses. My eye doctor always gives me a couple trial pairs to try out.

Here's the link:

As far as solution, I've always used the Renu Multiplus No Rub and found it ok. I don't like to rub and don't like to spend much time cleaning the lenses. Recently I tried a sample bottle of BioTrue and loved it! I'm switching to is after I run out of the Renu solution.

There are no toric lenses on the market with my rx

I already asked my dr. So I just have to deal with it.
