Eye doctor failed to mention

That if you switch to Oasys lenses... you have to switch solutions as well. I guess with Oasys lenses you need to use a hydrogen peroxide based solution rather than the typical formulas such as Opti-free.

Apparently if you fail to use the correct solution with oasys lenses, they can build up calcium and other stuff and give you an infection.

I thought I should mention it just in case anyone else uses or was thinking of switching to Oasys lenses.

NOTE: You also "need" a special container to put your contacts in. There are designated spots to put each contact on then you submerge it into the container. You need to keep them soaking for a minimum of 6 hours for the solution to neutralize.

What a pain.

It works though:

That sucks. I'll have to see what the fiance uses because she just uses the regular solution that she squirts in the little cups after she drops her contacts in the case.

That's fine for just about every other lens that I know of. I recommend acuvue advanced. If you order through 1800 contacts, they do price matching so you can get 8 boxes for 13 dollars a box as opposed to 20 dollars a box when you buy 8.

Year supply for 105 instead of 160 if you use visiondirect as your price reference.

I need to get my eyes lasered. I am sick of wearing contacts and glasses suck too. lol

[BuzzKillington]

I hear yuh. I'm a little worried my eyes aren't done changing yet though so I'd hate to have to spend another 2000 bucks or w/e another year or two from now.

[billygoat333]

yeah me too. I just keep eating a lot of carrots and hoping that they won't get any worse.

I think my vision's been steadily getting worse as well... I really like wearing my glasses, but they broke so I'm stuck with contacts again.

I think I have the Acuvue Advance... overall they're decent but meh.

Contacts kinda squick me, honestly. I've gotten used to my glasses - I've had to wear 'em for most of my life, and I think it's probably for the best. They offer basic eye protection, too, which is an added benefit.

They're never done changing
