Different brands of contacts?

Question

Whats the difference between B&L soflens 59 & Acuvue Advance contacts?...Are the acuvue advance contacts soo much better than theB&L soflens 59, I mean they are half the price and they are both 2 week disposable contacts?.......What do you guys think, is twice the price necessary?....Thanks!

Answer 1

The difference is the material....but that doesn't make the Advance a better lens. I have tried Advance trial lenses on several of my patients...and most don't like them.

As far as I'm concerned, the only real good lens Acuvue has ever come out with is the Acuvue 2....

I'm not sure why your Dr. is charging twice the price for the Advance...at my office they are just 4 dollars per box more than the Soflens 59....29.00 vs 25.00

I don't think you will find  a big price difference between the 2 brands in most places.
