Here is a list of contacts I would recommend in conjunction with daily “Lid Hygiene”
Thank you to our optometrist, Dr. Hosseini, for compiling this list.1) Dailies Total one comes only in one BC 8.5 Sphere power +6.00 to -10.00 but the + power is not out yet at this time. I have to see if it has been released. Cost is about $800 to $1100 for year supply
2) Acuvue Oasys 1 day disposable which comes two BC 8.5 and 9.0 Power SPHERE only +8.00 to -12.00 cost is about $800 to $1100 as well3) Acuvue Oasys 2 weeks disposable which comes in two BC 8.4 and 8.8 comes also in astigmatism powers various range. 2 week replacement from day of use and do not recommend sleeping in them. Recommend always with RUB solution for dry eye patients and at last 1 x a week or daily use of hydrogen peroxide system to clean the lenses. Price can be from about $250 to $500 depending on the type of prescription and then cost of solutions added which is about $150 to $300 a year.
For severe dry eye patients going to monthly is probably not a good idea!. I always focus on treating their allergies as well and recommend reduce their wear time! Patients should not be wearing these lenses all day long really!
