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 as compare to weekly wear lenses. The daily wear lenses should be use for maximum of 6 hours a day otherwise not good for eyes. While weekly wear lenses can be use for 10+ hrs. One should not go to sleep while lenses on . It could be dangerous for eyes and never sleep with daily wear lenses in any case but one can sleep with weekly wear lenses if there is no choice.
I use different brand's weekly wear lenses but I find Dura soft weekly wear lenses the best because I never had any problems with this brand's contact lenses. The gas permeability is 60% to 75% which is not bad. The Dura Soft lenses are more flexible than any other lenses. The Dura soft lenses are easy to clean and store. The Dura soft contact lenses are better and long lasting than any other brand. But it is recommended to change contact lenses after one year. The Dura soft contact lenses are less in price and better than or equal to some expensive brands . Dura soft lenses competes Bosh n Lomb lenses.

The cleaning of lenses involves three things basically which includes - protein tables , cleaning foam and cleaning and storing lotion (which is actually a normal saline ).

Protein table is use once in 15 days. Protein tablets are dissolve in cleaning and storing solution and then lenses are soaked in that protein mix solution for maximum of half an hour (if soaked for longer could cause protein deposits on lenses , as a result of lenses destruction).

Before storing lenses always wash them using few drops of lenses foam then rub gently using index finger and the clean away the foam using cleaning n storing solution (or normal saline could be use instead). Then store the lenses in the lenses case. The lenses should be soaking in storing solution or normal saline all the time to safe them from getting dry or infected.

Summary: dura soft really soft
