Purevision Contact Lenses

I said I was going to make a post about Purevision Contacts once I tried them out. Well in short, they are FAR better than Focus Night and Day lenses. At least, they are for me. As I said before, the Focus Night and Days bothered me greatly. I could feel the sharp edges all day and night and through the next day before I had to take them out for relief. It's stated that you are supposed to be able to wear the lenses for 30 days and nights before taking them out and replacing them. That proved to be rubbish for me. After trying the Purevision, while not perfect, they were leaps and bounds better. They stayed clear and focused the entire time I wore them. They did not irritate my eyes near as much as the Focus lenses did. By the end of the night I did have to take them out and clean them off and put them back in before going to bed though. I could feel the edges of the lenses by then. By the third day of wearing them, I noticed they got more comfortable to me. I didn't feel the need to take them out and clean them at the end of the day. By the 5th day, I was pretty irritated with them most of the day. I kept moving them around on my eye trying to get them comfortable again. Eye drops seemed to have little effect. Again I took them out, cleaned them and they were good to go for another day.
They are good lenses, however they are definitely NOT more comfortable than Acuvue lenses. I'm wearing Acuvue 2 lenses and I've also worn Acuvue 2 Hydraclear lenses and a friend of mind says that the Acuvue 2 Oasys lenses are great too. I've been wearing these lenses currently in my eye since yesterday afternoon and I haven't needed eye drops or anything. I haven't had to adjust them or anything. The edges of the Acuvue lense are rounded and very soft. They are great lenses. Even though I can't wear the Acuvue lenses for 30 days nonstop, the Purevision and Night and Day lenses are simply not comfortable enough to me to wear them for 30 days and nights anyway. I'd rather have a lense I can wear comfortably for a couple of days with the option of sleeping in them than have a lens in my eye for 30 days that drives me nuts the entire time. I have no real NEED to have the ability to sleep in my lenses. It's convenient like if I sleep over at someone's house or want to take a nap or whatever, but it's not necessary for me. I don't mind putting in and taking out my lenses. I ALWAYS take out my lenses when I take a shower simply because the hard water seems to irritate my eyes when I'm wearing contacts. I feel like they are going to pop out. Taking a shower while wearing the lenses is simply not practical for me unless I keep my eyes shut the whole time I'm in there. So after shopping around and trying 6 or 7 different types of lenses, I truly prefer Acuvue 2 lenses. I think that the Hydraclear are the best I have tried. And at 17 dollars per box compared to 50 dollars per box for the Purvevision lenses, the price really can't be beat. 50 dollars per box is the best internet price I've found. If you were to purchase them from an eye doctor, expect to pay anywhere from 75 to 90 dollars per box. Acuvue is definitely the way to go for new and regular contact lens wearers.
