I used air optix the last time I had contacts but it’s been about 6 months since then. I remember asking to try out the acuvue advanced for astigmatism but I can’t remember which one felt better! haha. Has anyone used both brands? If so, which do you prefer
maybe I’m just being cheap because the acuvue are cheaper now (even though the lenses don’t last as long) and I’m just trying to save money, plus it’s acuvue so I don’t see how it can be that bad. but maybe air optix is the new acuvue and I should just pay a little more and stick with it
it’s between air optix for astigmatism and acuvue oasys for ast. (I accidentally said acuvue advanced)

I’m looking for a new brand of soft contacts to wear, since I’ve already gotten 3 eye infections in the past few months with the Bausch + Lomb PureVision Toric ones I’m currently using (despite being very careful about cleaning them and whatnot.. I feel like it’s an issue with the contacts rather than the solution or my personal eyecare habits.)
I’ve tried Acuvue Oasys before and can’t wear that brand; they’re extremely uncomfortable.
So.. any recommendations for contact lenses that are good for someone with astigmatism and sensitive eyes?

I have tried Bausch and Lomb SofLens and Frequency Toric. Bausch and Lomb is irritating and Frequency goes blurry every time I blink. I was wondering if Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism is any better…
If this helps, this is written on my contact lens package:
SPH +0.50
CYL -1.25
AX 050
BC 8.5

I’ve been using contacts for over 2 years now. I’ve never had problems with my right eye contacts but always with my left eye, which has astigmatism. I first started with Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism with Hydraclear. Even with a new lense, I notice a little discomfort. Now I’m using ACUVUE OASYS for ASTIGMATISM with HYDRACLEAR Plus and I’m still feeling a little discomfort. The difference I’ve notice between the two is that when I put a new Oasys lens in, the discomfort isn’t that bad the first time I put it in, but later it irritates me and it irritates after the first time I use it.
I’m thinking maybe it could just be my left eye having trouble and not the contacts themselves. I’m not sure. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
Am I not cleaning/storing my contacts right? I always rise my container out with hot water and let it dry before putting solution and my contacts in. Should I take the contacts out my eye, put them in my hand, and rub them with solution before storing?

My doctor prescribed Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism. He gave me a trial pair and they said it "wasn’t exactly" the right prescription, but it’ll work.
The feeling of the contact is very prominent, and sometimes when my eyes focus or shake, the contact moves and my vision gets blurry until I blink a few times.
Is that what it is? I don’t have the astigmatism contacts?

I have acuvue oasys for astigmatism lenses and I use opti-free replenish, but only because that was the sample the doctor gave me. I was just wondering if there really was a difference in the cleaning solutions?

Some one told me that most acuvue contacts have an ‘inside-out mark’ that tells you if your contact is flipped or correct – either a 123 or an AV that will read correctly (versus upside down) depending on whether the contact is right or not. Does Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism have this? I checked my lenses but I can’t see anything like that – the only thing is that line that keeps the contact weighted correctly/ positioned correctly. Anyone actually have the mark?
thanks! i felt a bit retarded trying to find it when everyone was saying it was so easy to see

I noticed a radial line on my toric (astigmatism-correcting) contact lenses, Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism. Is this line supposed to be pointing superiorly if the lenses are placed correctly? Or is it supposed to be pointing laterally / medially / inferiorly, or is the direction of the line not related to the correct placement?

The reason I ask is because I was prescribed Acuvue Oasys lenses with a Base Curve of 8.6, but when I look for them they only come in 8.4 and 8.8. However, there are Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism with a base curve of 8.6. Can I get those? Does that mean I have astigmatism?
