Best Contacts I found in 30 years. Good fit, vast improvement in my experience

For the last 6 years, I was using Acuvues. I have been wearing the Focus Night & Day lenses for 9 months, and they have been my best contact lens experience, and I've been through them all.

My prescription is now -6.50%. I have slight astigmatism, which is not corrected. But we're talking really really near-sighted! Like without my lenses, you could be King Kong and I would think you were Fay Ray, well, in need of a wax job...
I see better with the Night & Day lenses than with my glasses. I don't get double glare back, and my eye doctor and I were much more able to hone in to a perfect fit for my eyes in terms of base curve. My doctor was actually impressed by the great fit.
Granted, each person has a uniquely shaped eyeball, but if you are a contact person, you owe it to yourself to ask you eye doctor to fit you with a test pair.
These lenses are so superior to the Acuvues, which were huge, floppy, thick and migrated. The Focus lenses snap into place, all it takes in the morning is a squirt of Opti-Free or saline.
For me, there is a noticable improvement in both clarity of vision and daily comfort.
I posted a epinion of caution some time ago regarding a contact lens which almost caused me to have permanent damage due to the lack of oxygen. I am happy to say that, in my opinion, confirmed by my eye doctor, the Night & Day lens really does live up to the advertised benefits of superior oxygen, and I am delighted with my 3 box experience with this product.
Sure, it would be nice to zap my eyeballs into submission, but I'm scared, since these baby greens are the only eyes I've got...
As for the cost, I find it more cost-effective than previous weekly lenses, and lest I remind you, eye-care is a legitimate tax-deductable medical expense.
My fab eye doctor, Dr. Ross Somers, of CompuEyeCare, Santa Monica & the Valley, California, fitted me with the lenses. He is the most approachable, seriously competent eye doctor (yeah, I can't spell the correct professional term for eye doctor...) since my last eye doctor, Dr. Tom Mirabile relocated his practice to Jamaica. Aloha, Tom!

Obviously, I caution all readers not to self-diagnose, but should you be in the market for a worthy contact lens, after consulting your eye-care professional, ask them about these lenses to see if they can work for you.

I remove mine weekly, and disinfect and rehydrate them, as instructed by Dr. Somers.
I travel frequently on business, and for readers in this category, I strongly suggest removing your lenses for long flights. It's kinda nice when you get to do this in Rio... Seriously, I fell asleep, and failed to rehydrate my eyes, and lost my left contact. However, this is nothing compared to the aggro I experienced with Acuvues, which have been known to become one with my eyeball to the point that I was in crocodile tears, not being able to even remove them from my eyes. That's BAD stuff, for contact folks.

Bad joke:
Person gets pulled over on the highway. License & registration, please.
Officer says: it says here, you require corrective vison.
Officer, Officer! But I have contacts.
Officer replies, I don't care who you know, where are your glasses.
Sorry, I digress.

The negative, or the caveat, you only have one set of peepers, treat them right. Just because these are FDA approved for 30 days continous wear (and I can vouch for the fact that that I have done this, most doctors do not recommend this.) do yourselves a service and remove them, disinfect, de-enzyme them and give your eyes a 12 hour break now and then re-insert them. These lenses feel fresh after such a brief sabatical.
They are easy to insert, small, yet easy to manage. Theoretically, if you are a world traveler, all you need to travel with is an extra pair or two, a small bottle of all-purpose solution, and a really good contact lens case. Please note that airplane pressure may result in solution seepage from your re-usable lens case, so keep it in your carry-on, and check the container when traveling long-distance.
Your eye doctor is your friend, and a solid professional will welcome your feed-back on any lens you try. Your duty is to communicate with them.
My duty as an Epinionator (talk to the hand, but vlook me in my Night and Day Eye when you do so) is to report my personal experience with the product, because there is no such thing as too much knowledge.
They folks who believe in Epinions obviously know this.
Last caveat: folks like me who are visually challenged, and who suffer from allergies and/or sinus aggro (the original holes in our heads, heh.), must be aware that sinus/allergies folks may encounter a higher level of dryness, if you take medication to treat them. carry those tiny break-away single serve rewetters, or my favorite, called Blink n' Clean drops.

Overall, The pros far outway the cons. Luv, Elise
