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 on my face. I have fallen asleep with them on before and have never gotten one stuck or lost in my eye which is great but you shouldnt fall asleep with them on. They also last longer then 2 weeks and can be used up to lake a month so that takes some of the expeenses away but theyve also been less than $40 a box so not too bad on pricing either. Soft lenses are supposed to be healthier for your...

I use the 30 day contacts that you throw away after a month of wearing them. These are super cheap at walmart, about $17.00 a box, and you get a three month supply, which is 6 contact lens'. I have the same precription for both eyes, so its really easy to get my contacts. I would definetly recomend this brand of contacts to anyone, cause even after 30 days my contacts are still clear and easy to see out of so they last along time. —...

I use to have problems with my contacts being really dry. When I would put them in in the mornings my eyes would get really red and I would have a hard time seeing. My doctor told me to change and I have never had that problem again. Do make sure that you never put your contacts in your eyes when they have been in the solution for less than 6 hours. It burns really bad and you can't wear them. I know from experience. —...

After talking to a new eye doctor about this problem I had been having I was given a reason to why this was happening. My contacts and the solution did not work well together. I use to wear acuvue contacts with hydraclear in them, and used this solution, but ended up having continouous problems all the time. I felt like my eye sight was even getting worse. So I ended up switching to different contacts and different solution best for those particular contacts....

I works well in regards to keeping my eyes infection free. I've been wearing contacts for 13 years and I've never had a problem with the quality of this lens solution.  I would have to say that it is a little on the costly side. It does last a while so it's worth the...

It seems disinfects well. though sometimes I do have to rub the soft contact lenses a bit to remove protein that has settled on the lenses. but over all I like it. The price isn't so bad either —...

Got home to my home office desk and put them on. Work GREAT!! My challenge had been having to look at my Computer screen though my bi-focals of my eye glasses. That made my neck extremely sore and produced strain in my shoulders etc. With the PC Peekers Computer Glasses they eliminate my neck strain. I now just look straight at my computer and have no pain from the abnormal positoning of my neck as before. It is worth the expense. My Dr. only charged me $23.00 for the PC...

I have very dry eyes and have tried all their formulations. The Genteal Gel Drops for Moderate/Severe dry eyes has been my favorite. While it says Gel Drops it is a regular drop, but it is slightly thicker than the average eye drop. This keeps the lubricant in the eye for a longer period of time. There is slight blurring of vision immediately upon putting the drop in the eye, but this clears quickly. The soothing comfort lasts for a number of hours. Additionally, these products have a component that becomes preservative free once it is in the eye, sparing your eye from harmful preservatives that are in so many eye drop products. I have tried other products such as Refresh, Systane, and Viva, so far GenTeal has been the best for my eyes. It is competitively priced, available at discount merchants, such as W and K Marts, and at drugstores. I've also found that with regular use of eye drops, my dry eye condition has...

Long-lasting, non-stinging-, very refreshing. Good for your eyes (according to the Dr.) so you can use often.I have tried others but never feel - relief from them- can feel the difference every time I use this. I love this product....

When I first started using contact lenses, my eyes would get dry, and it felt like I always had sand in my eyes, even when I wasn't wearing any contacts! My doctor said that I had an allergic reaction to the contacts that caused bumps to form on the inside of my eyelids. He switched me to Acuve Advance with Hydraclear and the problem disappered almost immediately. I've been using thes contacts for years, and they have never failed...

I have been using them for several years now. They are extremely comfortable and stay moist all day long. They also have a special marking on each lense to prevent the wearer from putting them in inside out. This is a very helpful feature. This is a great brand of lenses to...
