Hydraclear is a new contact by Acuvue.  It's extra moist for comfortability and stays moist all day.  

My Viewpoint!
I do believe that the Acuvue Advance with Hydraclear are Hydra-Awesome!  It's amazing how much more clarity there is than the regular Acuvue Advance.  They are very comfortable...

Good Contacts, But are They Better Than the Original?

2007

Acuvue Advance with Hydraclear is a newer product from Johnson & Johnson that offers extra moisture protection to prevent eyes from drying out. These lenses seem to be fairly comfortable and I haven't had any problem with dryness, irritation, or any other problem sometimes associated with contact lenses....

Don't buy the Acuvue Advance contact lenses

SEP

2008
I've used contacts for 20+ years, and I've always had the red-irritated eyes. Because of my astigmatism, I started out with hard contact lenses then transitioned to the better gas permeable (GP) lenses. The best experience I've had so far were the GP Toric lenses, but unfortunately my eyes still looked like I had been up all night.
So the Acuvue lenses are marketed specifically for astigmatism (and comfort), so I tried them. Two issues:
1.  They actually felt pretty good up until 3 days of use - then I would start seeing blurry, kind of like when you wear one lens backwards (and it was almost like... review »

good but not great

This brand of contacts is good to wear for 14-15 hours a day with no dryness.  I enjoy wearing them but I seldom wear a pair for two weeks (I don't believe they are 2 week disposalables).

Your eyes will be very dry if you take a nap,  I have slept in them less than 5 times and this is usually a mistake... my eye dr told me I could sleep in them a few days in a row before removing (I love extended wear) but I haven't been able to do this.

ALLERGIC REACTION TO MATERIAL

FEB

2009

I love the feel, fit and quality of the acuvue oasis toric lenses - HOWEVER, be careful of film buildup and allergic reactions.  I've worn other acuvue lenses for 12 years and never experienced a problem until this particular lense was introduced. This lense contains a different type of material that may cause allergic reactions.  After months of multiple dr's visits for what I believed to be 'various eye infections'; It turns out that I'm not a hypochondriac - I'm allergic to the lenses!  For those able to wear these without a negative reaction - GREAT.  For those folks with persistent...

Acuvue Advance hurt my eyes.

NOV

2008
I have been wearing acuvue brand contact lenses for about six years and have never had a problem until now. My doctor told me I needed to switch to the Acuvue Advanced to allow more oxygen to enter my eyes. With in an hour of first wearing them my eyes hurt so much. They felt scratchy, dry, and sore. I will be trying a different brand.

The most HORRIBLE contacts I've ever worn!!!!!!!!!!
a contact lens wearer

FEB

2009

I went to the eye doctor and she recommended that I switch to Acuvue Advance because I fall asleep in my contacts sometimes and they were supposed to be better for my eyes than Acuvue 2.  It is true that your eyes get more oxygen with Acuvue Advance than Acuvue 2.  HOWEVER, after 2-3 days, the contacts develop a film on it that you CANNOT get off with any kind of solution or by rubbing the contacts!  I called Acuvue and they told me that it comes from the moisterizer that I use on my skin or the natural moisture on my face.  So what?  Does Acuvue expect for people to not use moisterizer and...

Acuvue- Soft and easy

MAY

2009

I have been wearing glasses since 5th grade and am now a junior in college. I've never been fond of how I look in glasses or how they obstruct my face. I decided to get contacts in October during my eye doctor visit. I tried out three or four different brands and none were very comfortable. I then tried a fifth pair and that one was ok, so I went home and came back in two weeks to check on them. They were itchy and felt dry. My doctor told me that they weren't fitting my eyes right and gave me another- Acuvue Oaysis with Hydraclear- my eyes never felt better! They were moist and smooth, fit my...

Not very comfortable

2008
I really didn't care for these paticular pair of lenes. The Acuvue with Hyroclear really hurt my eyes. They felt like they they needed to be wetted down constantly. They were easy to put in and that feeling only lasted  a few hours.  They felt stiff and needed to get moistened after that. Although I do like the Acuvue brand. It is a good product, but these didn't feel good to me.

sometimes itchy, but overall very good

I love contacts.  They allow me to do so many more things - like play tons of sports without fear - than glasses do.  The only thing that gets annoying is taking them out to go swimming, and even that isn't that bad.  I like acuvue because they're overall pretty comfortable.  Occasionally they get itchy, in which case I soak them extra long, but all in all they've served me well.

i had these contacts and they felt like they were cutting my eyes the whole time that i had them in. it was such a pain to have to try and readjust them because they sit on my eye right they felt like they were constantly falling down or out of my eye. i never feel asleep in them before but when i would close my eyes they would go crazy. this was such a big pain that i had to end up getting glasses. when i would take the contacts out at night the bottom of my eye would turn bright red and i couldnt see. my eyed were always dry and i could take it anymore so i went to america's best and got two... review »

When I went to the eye doctor last for my yearly contact visit, Acuvue Advanced Hydraclear this is what he gave me.  Luckily, he scheduled a followup to make sure I was doing okay with the contacts because I could not use them at all.  They were so thin and soft I couldn't manuever them well enough to get them in my eyes.  And if my memory serves me correctly, I could even feel them in my eyes.  Needless to say, when I went back for my follow up I told him just to give me the regular Acuvue 2 which seemed obsurd to him that I would want the old formula and not the new & improved but my eyes... review »

I have been useing this brand for the past 6 months and I must say they are really comfortable, my eyes rarely get dry or discomfortable, and are easy to get in but a little difficult to get out when your first learning. I previously wore hard lenses which are easier to grasp but with enough practice this problem faded. There have only been a few lenses that either tear easily or just aren't right when I first open a new pack so i am very pleased overall with theyre performance. I can see clearer than when I use my glasses and obviously can work out without the interferance of something moving... review »

ive been wearing acuvue advance with hydraclear for about two years now

i like them alright. they are comfortable, last a while if you take care of them.

you have to use optifree saline solution with these otherwise you'll get crystals on them.. i never tried it but thats what my eye doctor says

(if you change your contacts but they are still good, you can save them in an old contact lens case with saline solution for when you accidentally rip one-you have a good replacement until you are ready to change the whole pair)

sometimes i fall asleep on the couch with them, and when i wake up my eyes are... review »

These contacts are so comfortable.  I love not having to take my contacts out every day like I used to.  I found a place to purchase these on line that was very reasonable. There was something on this website when I ordered them that kind of concerned me but ordered anyway.  I got e-mail back from them because something was odd about my prescription.  Come to find out the doc had made an error.  Was very pleased that they contacted me before sending them.  They came from a compay in Seoul... aalens.com.  I got them in a very timely manor & it was the cheapest place I found on the net
