Need Contact Lens Recommendations.


As of now, I'm looking for comfort and ones I can wear for a long period of time (12 - 14 hours).

Definetly look into the lenses by Johnson & Johnson. They have several products to fit all kinds of wearing schedules.Acuvue,Surevue, lenses with Hydroclear etc... They have the best product on the market with more coming.

I heartily recommend proclear compatibles, by CooperVision. I've been wearing them about 8 years now, and have been told they're among the best by multiple doctors. Supposedly it's the high water content. They're monthly disposables. Ask your eye care practitioner.

Only useful advice: Try as many as you can. Some fit better than others. In fact, one eye can take one brand, and the other another one.

Do you have astigmatism? If so, it may take a long time before you can find one that fits. I haven't found one yet that works for me, especially in this dry environment. Western Canada is about to head into the worst drought since the depression, which makes wearing contacts impossible for a lot of people...



Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him...a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Whoopee Goldberg: "Not if it leads to pork."
Kermit the Frog: "Hey, that's my line!"

Excellent advice

I have found Ciba's Focus Night and Day lenses as well as Vistakon's Acuvue Advance are two of the better performing contact lenses when it comes to comfort for long periods of time.

CooperVision also makes a wonderful lens, however their customer service as of late is terrible. I really don't like to deal with them unless I have to.

I reccomend Baush & Lomb's Optima FW lenses. I've been using them for 5 or 6 years now. Very comfortable. J&J Acuvue lenses are also good.

The Vistakon J&J product line are superb. They have some of the best line of lenses for all types of fitting and wear schedule. Their range of powers/ base curve/ axis are so broad I'm sure you would fit into something. They have the best costumer service around.

And I can vouch for Acuvue 2s.

I think that contacts have come a long way, and the fact that there are many people who vouch for many brands attests to that.

after using Acuvue's since thay first came out then Acuvue 2s, Last time I ran out the place I buy them was out and gave me a sample of Focus Dailies to try until mine came in, I found the focus to be much better, if I forget to take them out, I wake up fine the next mourning and can even use them two days without knowing I have lenses in.
