I trialled a lot of daily disposable lenses before coming to the conclusion I was going to have to try monthly or bi-weekly disposables to get the great vision I wanted. This is because I have an astigmatism, which standard lenses don't correct. An astigmatism usually happens if your eye is rugby ball shaped instead of round and occurs at different 'axis' on your eye. If you have an astigmatism your glasses prescription will have a number written under the 'axis' column. My right eye has an astigmatism at an axis of 105 and my left at 85. You can now get daily lenses for astigmatism, but they only come in limited axis. I did trial a few of these, but the nearest ...  Read the complete review

I had never worn contact lenses before until just over a year and a half ago. I was fed up of going everywhere and having to wear glasses. When I had photos taken of me I had to take my glasses off and when I went to the gym I had to either wear them, which was not very nice when you're sweaty or walk around without them not being able to see very much. So I took the plunge and went to D&A to see what they could offer me in the way of contact lenses. The initial consultation took a long time, during which we discovered that had astigmatism. This automatically pushes the price up of contact lenses. We decided that two weeklys would be best for my eyes, ...  Read the complete review

Although this product is quite expensive, I find it worth it. I'm both far-sighted and near-sighted and I've got very sensitive eyes to the point where many things will redden and irritate them. I've always been careless so I've never wanted to wear glasses but I thought, after a while, that was my only option. It is hard enough to find contacts that are moist enough for me, much more when it comes to astigmatism as well! Imagine my surprise when my doctor recommended this. She said that we should try them out and we did and I have not been able to switch since. They are really moist and they're durable, easy to handle and completely worth their price. I would ...  Read the complete review

I've worn contact lenses for a number of years but struggled to find a comfortable pair that I could tolerate for a decent amount of time. The standard lenses for Astigmatism were always weighted and a bit harder so if your eyes were sensitive they were no good. Johnson & Johnson Acuvue advance for Astigmatism are just a god send, they are comforable for long periods of time, easy to handle and clean. I have on a few occassions accidently slept in the lenses but continued to wear them the next day, in any lenses prior to this sleeping with them would have been a definite no! The only thing I would say about them is they're the more ...  Read the complete review

I've worn glasses for more than twenty years, and I finally decided that contacts would be the best way forward, as it would mean that I could come into a warm house from the cold outside and not have my glasses steam up, or have to worry about cleaning them to ensure I could see clearly! I started wearing a different brand at first, which weren't perfect as they didn't quite provide the clearest degree of sight. After about six months my optician recommended that, as I suffer from astigmatism, I should try this brand. It's been two years since and I'm still more than happy with these contacts. Although they are a little expensive, it's a necessary ...  Read the complete review
