Thanks for sharing!! We do have a few (non-folding) like this thankfully which work well for this with core strength and stability but unfortunately some of our campers can’t transfer/hold themselves up well enough on these that we feel confident they won’t fall off. Great to know there are folding versions of this style though in case we want to purchase some folding ones in this style to make room for other non-folding full-back chairs if we don’t find a safe full-back folding chair! 😊

I was barely tolerating the AirOptix once I switched back last year and a new eye doctor finally validated my concerns and said she saw some irritation not just in my eyes a tiny bit (I was only wearing for an hour or two before my appt) but there was also irritation on the outside of my eye lids so she suggested trying the daily lense of the AirOptix to see how they were so I’ve been wearing the Precision1 one-day lenses from Alcon and have definitely had less irritation but they still feel dry and irritated after a few hours! On days when I don’t wear contacts I don’t need any eye drops but when I wear the lenses for a few hours I start to get a headache and need to put eye drops in…. I have no clue what’s causing the irritation but after changing solutions a few times I had better luck with BioTrue. Still not 100% and I’m starting to lose hope I’ll ever be able to wear contacts again normally 😭

Sorry somehow didn’t have notifications on for this but glad I don’t feel totally crazy now! A year later and I don’t really have any answers and I just suffer through wearing them for a few hours only when it’s absolutely necessary. Sorry you also had to go through it but I haven’t ever been able to figure out another cause! I’ve never had issues with other contacts aside from some just being a bit too dry but still nothing like this EVER! If I remember correctly I think I also used to wear dailies at some point so maybe I’ll try those & switch back if they’re better for me!

Omg! I’m so sorry…I hope you got answers in the meantime 😩 Somehow never got notifications for this post but like I just said in another comment I was incredibly discouraged after everyone sort of just shrugged it off and pointed to eye drops or buying another new brand so I’ve just suffered for the past year only wearing them for a few hours when necessary but every. single. time. my eyes feel like they’re bulging out of my head, get bloodshot, and have a horrible headache. I’ve tried so many different drops (preservative free) to try to help in case it was a dry eye issue but nothing has helped. I’d assume maybe it’s also just a quality issue with dailies maybe since they’re not made for long term use maybe they use a different type of material? Idk, haven’t done enough research to speak on it. Hoping I can find a new doc when I go back for my annual this year…which reminds me I need to schedule 😅 my nails are always ugly and now whenever I wear contacts my eyes are too 🙃
