I have needed glasses for around 12 years now. Unfortunately I have had to get a new prescription every six months as a result in the deterioration of my vision. As you can appreciate this is extremely costly. Because of this reason I looked in to getting daily disposable contact lenses. I felt this would benefit me more as I would not have to fork out every six months for a new prescription. I was also becoming more active with sports and felt that having glasses was always a hindrance. My optician explained to me that not everyone is capable of wearing lenses, so I had to have an eye test to make sure I was suitable. Fortunately I was, and I was given ...  Read the complete review

I have worn contact lenses for the last 30 years! Until this year I had always worn coloured contact lenses until I was persuaded by my optician that due to poor oxygen content to the cornea I was in fact damaging my eyes. I had suffered from bloodshot eyes for a number of years but this became the "norm" not realising the damage I was doing. I started using Johnson and Johnse acuvue for astigmatism 3 months ago and am delighted with the difference. My eyesight is much sharper. I have astigmatism in both eyes and my previous lenses did not really rectify this. Initially I suffered from dry eyes - this lasted about 4 days - and after that they were ...  Read the complete review

My last experience with contacts was some 20 years ago or so - am I really that old? I had the old gas permeable lenses which scratched all the time. One rainy day I rubbed my eye and one fell out, never to be seen again. I figured it was too expensive and too uncomfortable to replace, so I just went back to wearing glasses. Roll forward a few (OK, more than a few) years and my sons are increasingly active - I always end up in goal. I decided to try contacts again and my optician offered me a trial of these lenses. I suffer from hay fever so figured my eyes would be too sensitive to wear them for long periods, but I took to them straight away. I mainly wear them ..  Read the complete review

I had been wearing Johnson and Johnson 1-Day Acuvue contact lenses for a while, but I was unhappy with my vision as they did not correct my -1 astigmatism. They were fine for social events, but my vision was not good enough for work etc... As a result I decided to try 1-Day acuvue for astigmatism. I thought they would be ideal for me as they were made of the same type of material as my current lenses and they were also a convenient daily wear regime. They were massive compared to my usual contacts and felt very uncomfortable as soon as I put them in. This didn't improve much throughout the day. Surprisingly my vision didn't seem much better either. My optician ...  Read the complete review

I have worn contact lenses for about 14 years now and have always had the ones that need changing every month. Recently i decided that i would wear my glasses a bit more and have the Johnson & Johnson one day acuvue for Astigmatism instead. I really did not get on with them, i was given a trial pack of 6 pairs and of those about 3 of these tore when i tried to take them out, i was left with half a contact lense in my eye that i then had to find and get out... ouch! I also found that they moved alot and sometimes i'd be driving and notice that the vision in one eye was blurred, i'd rub my eye and move the lenser and it would be back. The main issue for me was that .  Read the complete review
