dbm82 says "Works for me" about Bausch & Lomb Soflens 66 Toric Contact Lenses

dbm82 — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:57:59 GMT

I have had an astigmatism for almost as long as I can remember. To be honest, I still don't entirely understand what this means, but I gather it entails my eyes being shaped a little funny so that contacts for regulation sized eyes don't fit my cornea in the right way. Instead, I have to use toric lenses measured to properly fit my eyes.

Enter Bausch & Lomb Soflens 66 Toric Contact Lenses. These are probably the fourth brand of Toric lenses I have tried in ten years. So far so good. I will admit, one of the things that I like best about these toric contact lenses is that they are fairly inexpensive. The price difference between torics and other contact lenses used to be dramatic -- the gap has narrowed quite a bit in recent years. Now you can buy these contact lenses for about $30 a box from discount lens retailers.Not bad! Beyond that these contact lenses are comfortable and stay pretty moist even in my sometimes dry eyes. My vision is pretty clear too, although never as crisp as it is...

Pandanoke says "Acuvue Oasis-Most comfortable lenses ever!" about Acuvue Oasis Contact Lenses

Pandanoke — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:51:27 GMT

Acuvue Oasis have been a godsend for me. I've been wearing Acuvue lenses for years now, started off with the Acuvue 2 lenses, then to the Acuvue Advanced lenses, and have been in the Acuvue Oasis lenses for about a year and a half now. The other contacts felt fine, were comfortable enough, and I could see, but every check-up showed more and more damage on my eyes. I was doing everything I was supposed to do when it came to my lenses (expensive solutions, changing them religiously), but nothing seemed to help. My eye doctor suggested the Oasis lenses, and said that if they didn't work, I would either have to stop wearing contacts, or they could try a procedure that would block my tear duct! Needless to say, I was praying the Oasis lenses would keep my eyes from damage. Lo and behold, my next check up was perfect! The Oasis lenses let enough moisture and oxygen through to keep my eyes from getting scratched and dry. Yes, they are a little more expensive than the other lenses I've tried,...

katulka says "lens that really breathe" about Acuvue Oasis Contact Lenses

katulka — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:47:13 GMT

Accuvue Oasys are the best lenses I've found so far. My eyes are chronically dry, and these "breathe" much more than any other brand. Less dryness means clearer vision!

One downside is that I've noticed these lenses occasionally have imperfections that cause them to tear shortly after opening a new package. Luckily the manufacturer has offered great rebates the past two years I've bought them, so that has helped offset the cost of replacing torn lenses before their two week disposal date.

gsuhunie8686 says "Very comfortable" about Acuvue Oasis Contact Lenses

gsuhunie8686 — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:10:08 GMT

I have worn glasses ever since the 5th grade and for years wished there was a solution to my vision problem. Of course my mother was always afraid to put something in my eyes, until my doctor recommended Acuvue. At this time Oasis was not available, but Acuvue was by far the best of its kind. Then I began to have problems with itchy and watery eyes, constant headaches, and just an overall uncomfortable experience with my contacts. I switched to Acuvue Oasis and have never looked back.

They are extremely comfortable, easy to care for, and have a long wear time. The best part is they do not dry out throughout the day. Often I would feel as though my contacts would get stiff as I was wearing them, and these do no such thing. I have been more than happy with my Acuvue Oasis contacts now for years and don't intend on switching. They are by far the best contact lenses that I have tried and I would recommend them to anyone.

Darkwytch says "I would never switch from my Acuvue Oasys contact lenses" about Acuvue Oasis Contact Lenses

Darkwytch — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 02:08:42 GMT

I've had problems in the past with contacts due to dryness and the hassle of always taking them out when I sleep. With Acuvue Oasys soft contact lenses I've had more comfort then ever. The dryness is gone. I can wear them longer. I can even sleep in them and not have to take them out every night. I just put in drops when I wake up and I'm good for the day. It's an ideal product for someone who is always on the go and has no energy to do anything but go to bed in the evening. At an affordable price you can't beat them, especially when you use up a new box less often. Every eye visit changes for me and so does the strength of the lenses. I have heard that double vision can occur if the lens or lenses are not fitted right but that has not happened so far and I'm really nearsighted so my prescription is pretty high. I've been very fortunate with Acuvue Oasys lenses and I recommend that if you are looking for a comfortable, long-lasting lens that will keep up with...

myopinion159 says "ReNu Multi-Purpose Solution is light and refreshing." about Bausch & Lomb ReNu MultiPlus Multi-Purpose Solution No Rub formula

myopinion159 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:19:08 GMT

ReNu MultiPlus Multi-Purpose Solution no rub formula is absolutely wonderful! I have very sensitive eyes, and this solution does not even say for sensitive eyes but works great. It is easy to use and never hurts my eyes. I have tried other solutions that the eye doctor usually recommends or gives out as samples, but they just do not feel as smooth and comfortable as the ReNu solution. Other solutions just do not give you that "ahhhh..." feeling when you use them. ReNu solution feels natural to the eye. It makes it easier to put in contact lenses because you can hardly feel them when using the solution. I usually soak my contacts in solution overnight when I am sleeping. When I go to put my contacts back on in the morning, I put just a drop or two of the ReNu solution on each contact lens before putting them in my eyes. This is what also helps give that extra burst of freshness and comfort. I would recommend the ReNu solution to anyone wearing contacts.

jtkrpm says "best solution I've tried " about Bausch & Lomb ReNu MultiPlus Multi-Purpose Solution No Rub formula

jtkrpm — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:50:35 GMT

out of the 3 contact lens solutions I've tried renu multi plus is the best of them for me. the three that I have tried is renu,opti-free replenish and clear care. the reasons I prefer Renu Multiplus is it cleans better than the other two, my vision appears to be clearer with Renu.

opti free replenish seemed to make my lenses feel fat and bloated like they were two times thicker some how?

than clear care does not clean my lenses well per directions w/o a daily cleaner and saline rinse. my vision does not seem as good with clear care as well like the lens parameters changed a little.

one drawback though is it took a month or so for my eyes to get used to to renu it must have stronger chemicals in it and would cause slight discomfort a few hours in to the wearing cycle. now that I've been using renu for more than 3 months now my eyes are not affected by renu. over all I still like renu best

Lily10 says "Cheap for a reason" about Acuvue Oasis Contact Lenses

Lily10 — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:40:59 GMT

I have worn Acuve lenses before and switched to Acuvue Oasis contact lenses last fall. I have thrown away many lenses because they get torn after wearing only for 1 day. I find a tiny piece gets torn away from the edge. I sometimes wore them without noticing and felt uncomfortable. I check and see a very small edge is gone. I complained to the company and they call my local eye doctor's office so that I can pick up a replacement. It is troublesome to do it many times, so never complained again because tearing happens so frequently. I don't have long nails, and never had this issue with other contact lenses. The price is very cheap because the quality is cheap.

LauraBelle says "Easy to Take Care of, Even for Young Teens" about Cooper Vision Vertex Sphere Contact Lenses

LauraBelle — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:36:24 GMT

I've been wearing contacts since I was 20 years old, and I'm not going to tell you how many years ago that was, but suffice it to say they didn't have disposable contacts back then. I think it's one of the greatest inventions, though, in the years since. Now that my kids are both teenagers, I have switched them over to disposable contacts as well, and they're using the same brand I do, Vertex Sphere.

My 16-year-old son broke his glasses first, towards the end of the school year. He needed a new eye exam anyway, and I knew it would be a week or so before he got new glasses shipped, and I wanted him to be able to see for his finals. He asked if he could switch to contact lenses, and he had a history of breaking his glasses, but had been better, so we thought this was a good time to try the contacts. He struggled to get them in for fifteen minutes or so in the training at the eye doctor's office, and a little at home, ten minutes or so every day to get them in, but within no time he was popping...

pinkdee65 says "Great cleaner for the contacts!" about Bausch & Lomb ReNu MultiPlus Multi-Purpose Solution No Rub formula

pinkdee65 — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:40:30 GMT

Bausch & Lomb ReNu MultiPlus Multi Purpose Solution No Rub formula is a wonderful cleaner for soft contact users. I have been using this solution for years and I must say I have never had a disappointed moment yet! I love the convience of having a cleaner, disinfect and protein remover all in one. It saves me money having to go out and buy multiple products and time too. This solution is very easy to use. Just take out one contact and place it in its right spot in the holder and do the same with the other contact. Then after both are in the contact holder fill with fresh cleaner solution til it covers the contact and put the cover on securely. It is as simple as that. Leave it for 6hrs to saturate and your contacts are ready to go for another great day with you. No more rubbing is a great time saver and now you can use all those extra rubbing moments for something else. Fast easy steps to use makes this solution great!

cranegal107 says "Proves customer service is just as important as the quality" about Bausch & Lomb Soflens 66 Toric Contact Lenses

cranegal107 — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:00:08 GMT

When I first started wearing toric lenses I went threw a lot of samples before my eye docter recommended Bausch & Lomb lenses. All other lenses I had previously experienced had left my eyesight blurry and often upset my eyes, I was about to give up honestly on the thought of contacts all together because I was so irrated that there wasn't a contact for me. The second I started wearing the Bausch& Lomb contacts I knew I had found my brand of contacts. I have religiously wore them ever since.

Then one day my entire pack was scratchy and blurry. Confused I call the company and they researched the matter even by mailing me a contact case so they could test the contacts. The lenses were indeed torn and they gave me an entire new set (an 80 dollar value I might add). I will contuine to do business with them because they treated me like a valued customer. In these days my money needs to be kept close to my chest and buying products that break is something I can't afford to do. To know that...

tbirdzchick04 says "Acuvue- Soft and easy" about Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses with Hydraclear

tbirdzchick04 — Thu, 28 May 2009 04:05:27 GMT

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 eyes perfectly, and were easy to place in my eyes. I have been using them since then. I only have to switch them every two weeks, taking them out at night. If I accidentally fall asleep wearing them, or if I have been wearing them for an extensive amount of time, they do get dry/stick to my eye, but just a few eyedrops fixes that easily.

beebuzz says "Finally! Contacts I can wear all day!" about Acuvue Oasis Contact Lenses

beebuzz — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:40:13 GMT

I have tried at least 10 different brands of contacts. I have very dry eyes and I am very sensitive to chemicals and other ingredients. I really have enjoyed these contacts. They fit well, they handle very well, they seem to last a long time. I hardly have any problems with rips or tears. Most importatntly I can wear them all day without having to take them out. All of the others I've tried were too dry by the end of the day.

I have a mild prescription with some mild astigmatism but I still use the standard lenses (not the toric lenses made for astigmatism correction).

carlie609 says "works ,overpriced" about Bausch & Lomb ReNu MultiPlus Multi-Purpose Solution No Rub formula

carlie609 — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:08:03 GMT

I have used this new solution on my accuvue contacts(that have UV light protection)and must say that it has many new features but then some drawbacks.I seems to inhibit microbials in an astoundly effective way,and removes protein buildup too,with out a lot of rubbing.The lens seem incredibly comfortable (compared to others that I used,have more than twenty years using different brands),and after cleaning with solution.At times I also notice a cloudiness that dissappears after some time.I must say that the chemistry of the product is ingenious but might need some worling on.The solution stays clear and does not become cloudy like others,even with months of non use.The soution is soapy to the touch and could also work in the inhibition of microbes from the fingers getting into the contact lens.It has ingredients that do not include allergic and/or mercury compounds.It is a very convenient products,specially compared to using saline ,soapy cleaners and protein digesting enzymes.I am happy...

Amalgamate says "Amazing contacts, but not for people with horrible vision." about Acuvue Oasis Contact Lenses

Amalgamate — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:21:27 GMT

The Acuvue Oasis contact lenses were AMAZING when I first put them in. My previous pair of contacts (don't know the brand) were rather uncomfortable and scratchy, as if there was always something in my eyes. It was an awesome feeling to put in the Acuvue and not even know they were there! I couldn't feel them in my eyes. On top of that, they were reasonably priced and the doctor had them in stock. Acuvue makes stock lenses - common prescriptions and sizes that can be made in bulk. This is why they are able to keep lower prices.

Which lead to my problem with Acuvue: I wear a -9 in one eye and -18 in the other. Acuvue Oasis is made up to -12, I think. My vision is so blurry out of the -18 eye anyways, I was willing to try -12 just to have a decently priced lens. Unfortunately, I was seeing double out of both eyes because of the contacts. According to the opthamologist, the part of the contact that is suppose to fit over the pupil is extra large in order to fit "average" eyes. It did not...

boss8760 says "Couldn't use them at all" about Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses with Hydraclear

boss8760 — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 04:38:30 GMT

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 were just not ready for the new and improved....

Ihateacuvueadvance says "The most HORRIBLE contacts I've ever worn!!!!!!!!!!" about Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses with Hydraclear

Ihateacuvueadvance — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 03:56:38 GMT

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 have dry skin so that they can wear their contacts??! That's crazy!! These contacts are supposed to last 2 weeks, but you can only get a week out of them if you are lucky!

I've worn contact lenses for 18 years and THESE ARE BY FAR THE WORST!!!!!! They irritate your eyes, they're blurry, and they are uncomfortable after a day or two.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I bought a whole year supply and...

kizat says "I don't like the feel of them." about Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses with Hydraclear

kizat — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 02:33:31 GMT

I've been wearing contacts for about 16 years and have probably tried just about every type of contact. A lot of people are Acuvue fans, but I am not. Acuvue Advance are better than the regular Acuvue2 contacts, but they have a slimy feeling to me. The lens is flimsy and easily tears. The Hydroclear have a cool feeling to the eye, but are not wearer friendly if you sleep in them. These contacts are a great option if you are very diligent about taking your contacts out whenever you even take a nap and want an Acuvue contact to last longer than 2 weeks. I think I'm too human and don't like the inconvenience.

With Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses with Hydraclear I can see clear and without the dryness. I love these contacts. The fit well and last long. I have been wearing this brand of contact lenses for a few years and I must say that I feel like I am not wearing anything lenses at all. They are so clear. Everything just seems so clean and clear when I wear my Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses. I wear eyeglasses also, but I much rather wear the Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses to see clearer.
