Memberso I am in Ciba O2 Optix Toric lenses and I am having the WORST time with my right contact rotating. Went in last week and he said 20 degrees. Did a script change, and gave me new ones. Well damn if I am not still having rotation. Please tell me what torics you wear that don’t have this issue!! i am going to see him tmrw morning and I am sure I am in for another script adjustment >sigh<
MemberI don’t know about Toric lenses. But my contacts shift sometimes too. ???
Memberi wear air optix and ive never had a problem with them… theyre the only toric lenses ive ever worn though 🙂
MemberIt took me 4 months to find the right pair, toric in my right eye. I ended up with proclear toric xr.
MemberMember@creativeplannertobee: the way toric lenses work is that they are weighted to keep the lens in the right spot to correct the actual eye defect (astigmatism is a wrinkle in the cornea of the eye).
If you’re having rotation with a regular lens see your eye doc. My Dirty Delete has worn regular lenses for years and hers do not shift at all. Maybe you just need a better fit 🙂
@msgraphics: >groan< I so didn’t need to hear this LOL. I have worn glasses for years. I wore contacts about 20 yrs ago and moved out of them because of the ill fitting torics back then. I thought technology might have improved in that time.
MemberI’ve used Bosch & Lomb SofLens Torric since high school. I normally wear glasses and wear contacts for special occasions. A few years back, my optometrist tried changing brands, and they just didn’t work out.
I’ve had good luck with these, though. No complaints.
MemberMaybe ask him to try another brand? I can’t remember the brand my doctor tried switching me to, but I couldn’t see worth a darn when he asked me to read the letters on the wall. He quickly put me in a trial pair of Bausch & Lombs, and I had no issue.
I was shocked to learn that all contacts are not created equal!!!
Memberi use air optix and find that if i put them in a little “wet” and blink a few times, it shifts into the right position after a minute or so
Member@sugarcube: yes it shifts into the right position when I put them in, but they continue shifting every time I blink. Last pair it was a 20 degree rotation. I will find out what degree rotation I am having in this pair tomorrow.
@ChicChick: yes I am going to. I was looking for recommendations 🙂 Per this thread I will ask about Bosch & Lomb SofLens Toric and proclear toric xr.
MemberI’ve always used the Bosch & Lomb Torics. Never had any problems with the lense rotation.
