Question

 

 

Hi,

My eye doctor wants to order custom lenses for me. I have a high plus of +9.50 and +10.50. He wants to order Unilens C-vue custom lenses at the price of $191 per box. I cannot afford to buy them at that price.

I suggested the Cooper proclear compatible sphere high plus lenses. He said that the silicon Unilens were a longer wearing time and that silicon would be better for my eyes.

Please advise so that I can afford to see better!

 

Answer

Thanks for your Question

 

 

Both of them are good and from well known brands. If you can't offer to buy the first one it is ok to buy Cooper Contact lens.

I always advice my patients not to wear any type of contact lens more than 8 hours per day.
