Acuvue Oasys Contacts with HYDRACLEAR
By KinseyP on
A what? That's what I first thought in the 7th grade when I was told I had an astigmatism. Since that day I've had glasses, ugly, bulky, pain in the butt glasses. Sure, I wore them a lot when I first had them but once 8th grade and freshman year came along they were not part of my daily plan of what to wear. They annoyed me and I didn't want anything to do with them.What happened though was I actually ended up making my eyesight worse from straining my eyes so much.
Then came sophomore year, the year I finally convinced my parents to get me contacts. In fact, I even got a special brand of contacts especially for astigmatisms called Acuvue Oasys. They are made to work with this special kind of vision problem. I have never used any other kind so I don't know whether or not that is true. However, once they're in I see great and like how I look and feel all day long.
Theses contacts are designed to be used for an entire month before you throw them out and start a new pair. You know you are getting close to a month because they get harder and harder to put in so you know it's time to move on to a new pair. I only have a problem with one of my eyes so I actually only wear one contact at a time.
Contacts are a bit hard to get used to and learn how to put in so these have 1 2 3 written on them so that you know which side to put in so you don't put them in upside down.
I actually forgot my contacts at my dad's house and am wearing glasses right now, and let me tell you I miss my contacts pretty bad. Glasses are not nearly as good. I also can't see out of the corner of my eyes. Contacts are the only way to go.
Thankfully I only need reading glasses when I am on the computer too long. But normally I am ok. I do have the same issue with one eye and probably should get new glasses. Forgot to tell you - Chopper ATE those prescription glasses when he was just a few months old. Yep - my $500 glasses.
Great review! I have an astigmatism as well but I've managed to wear just about any kind of contact so far (except those hard ones ewww)...hoping to get laser surgery :) Off to a great start Kinsey!
Great review..keep up the awesome work!
This was a great review! I currently have glasses because I do not like any of the contacts that I have tried. I will be sure to try these contacts. Thank you very much!
I have astigmatism in my right eye.. its very slight but enough to make the fit on regular contacts feel uncomfortable. I just purchased the Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear in January and I am very pleased with it.
