Please help! I was wearing Freq 55 XR which are great for my Stigmatism, but are now discontinued. I tried biofinity XR but that was so uncomfortable and irritated my eyes and was not very clear. The Pro Clear is also not comfortable and I can’t really see. Do I have any more options or is it time for lasiq?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťBiofinity Toric XR and Proclear Toric XR are the only other options that are ready-made, but a custom toric contact lens could possibly work for you. Check for an optometrist that specializes in contact lenses in your area to discuss this option!
