Advantages: None for me!

Disadvantages: Expensive, did not keep my eyes moist all day.

I had been wearing Johnsons and Johnsons 1-Day Acuvue for a few years when the moist version was launched. I thought they were worth trying as I did find my lenses were getting quite dry by the end of the day, especially as I work on a computer. They were available as a 5 day free trial from my opticians, so they didn't cost me anything. They were identical in size and specification to my usual lenses, and did seem more comfortable after putting them in. My vision was no better than my old lenses, which was as expected. However by the end of the day they seemed just as dry and uncomfortable as my usual lenses. As they cost quite a bit more, I decided to go back to my old lenses and use refresh wetting drops to help keep them moist. I found this far more effective and much cheaper in the long-run!

Summary: Not worth the extra expense for me.
