Having been persuaded by my optician to try contacts (I use D&A and they have a one month free trial offer) these were the ones prescribed to me, as my eyes are quite small and these apparently were the easiest to put in, and best for my eye type. You will have to see your optician to try out different ones or ask them for their expertise. I decided to get contacts, mainly for appearance (as I look better without glasses than with), and also for convenience and freedom; it seemed like the perfect opportunity to make use of such offer to try them out. ~~~PACKAGING~~~ Having signed up for direct debit, the contacts are delivered to your door, ...  Read the complete review

I have been wearing contact lens for over 20 years (makes me feel really old). I started with the non disposables, moved on to monthly's and now on to daily's. I have thought about having the laser treatment, but my optician advised me against it, arguing I would need reading glasses in the near future, so I would always be optically challenged! I am by no means 'blind' (-2.50), but vision is blurred when looking at people, television or any other interesting sights. I decided to give the 1 Day Acuvue Moist a trial as I found that by half way through the month, my monthly's were dry and itchy, giving me only four hours a day wear. Going out in the evenings was ...  Read the complete review

I recently had a contact lens check up as I had been wearing the same lenses for quite a while and needed to make sure my prescription was still right (which thankfully it was). My nice optician gave me a free 3 day trial of these daily disposables to see if they might be better for me as currently I use the two weekly disposables but then I might not wear them more than twice in a month so they sit in the solution for long periods of time and apparently that is not ideal. My prejudice against daily disposables is purely on price. I can buy a set of 6 pairs (3 months) of the two weekly disposables (also from the Acuvue range) for around £29 via Getlenses.com ...  Read the complete review

Having started wearing spectacles over a year ago for some reason I began to have less confidence in my appearance at times. After having a conversation with a contact lense wearer I decided it would be a good idea to look into wearing contact lenses. I went back to Boots and they had to carry out another eye test - one specific for contact lenses, and I were deemed suitable for wearing contact lenses. After I were assessed for the lense strength I were asked a number of questions about the purpose for wearing contact lenses. I wanted to wear them on a weekend when I go out with friends, and through the week I would continue wearing glasses. Bearing this in mind I were ..  Read the complete review

I started using Acuvue Moist one-day contact lenses approximately eight months ago. These were the second type of daily disposables I have used, before that I used monthly ones, and I definitely prefer a fresh pair every day. It means there is no build up on the lenses, and as my eyes are apparently prone to infection, it makes much better sense for me to have daily ones. The first disposables I tried were Focus Dailies and I always had problems with the way they sat on my eye. I often experienced them moving around when I blinked or disappearing under my eyelid. Acuvue are one of the few one-day brands that are actually available in two different base ...  Read the complete review
