They discontinued my contacts! Ugh don't know what to get know.

I have been wearing Biomedics55 contact lens for years. Just went to reorder for the new year and I see they have been discontinued.

Anyone use this brand and switched over to something else due to the fact they are discontinued.

Any recommendations on what to use now?

TIA!

I would ask the eye doctor to recommend something similar.
I don't think you can reorder a new brand without a new prescription anyway

This happened to me-same brand but only one eye (I have two different scripts). The dr gave me samples of different brands to try for when I needed

Go to your eye doctor and he will fit you with new lenses. Easy.

if you want, this doc is INCREDIBLE! I finally went to see someone after 15 years. He spent 2 HOURS with my husband and I. He specializes in contacts and gets you the best price

i used to wear BioMetrics, then when they discontinued making them i switched to Accuvue Oasys
But you definitely need to get a new prescription from your dr for that!
