I am using contact lenses since the age of 20 and now I am 32 it means it has been twelve years now. I have tried loads of brands and out of them I find Dura soft weekly wear contact lenses best for me. I preferred to use weekly wear colourless contact lenses which are also called extended wear contact lenses. My eye consultant advised me to buy weekly wear contact lenses because one can go to sleep while wearing the lenses and an other reason is the weekly wear lenses can be wear for longer hours (minimum10 to 12 hours) without any strains on the eyes. From my own experience and knowledge I know the daily wear lenses has less absorption of oxygen ...  Read the complete review

Being a typical seven year old my mum had a struggle on her hands to get me to wear them but she fought gamely and for the most part I did.

I've been wearing contact lenses since I was 13 years old, and it isn't just vanity it is about more than that, especially to a 13 year old girl.
