Contact lens discomfort - Eye & Vision Message Board

Please give a opinion of which brand of soft contact lenses are the most and least comfortable. I have tried Accuvue and Optima and both are uncomfortable. Did anyone else have a similar problem ?

When I first got my contacts, I had trouble with them constantly. I thought I would never be able to wear them because I could always feel them, and they were uncomfortable. When my husband brought his new contacts home, he had a different solution which I tried. I have not had any problems since, and even when I have tried to switch solutions, I have problems and end up back with Renue. I am hoping this may be the case for you. Renue has an ingredient in it that that I have not found in any other one, for removing daily protein, and it also seems to have a lubricant right in it, which is easy on my eyes. Even though the other solutions advertised daily protein remover, they were missing this main ingredient that only Renue seems to have, and I threw contacts because they had protein spots on them that the other solutions didn't get rid of. Good luck to you

I have had Edge III contacts in the past few years; back in January, my doctor had me try the disposable version and I love them! The "daily wear" version was also comfortable and I have no qualms recommending them. My first pair, which I got when I was a teen, were CSI, which I also had no problems with. Consider disposables--ones that you can wear for about two weeks, then you throw them away and use a new pair. Good luck to you
