Answer 1

I   could  not  stand  the  idea  of  sticking  my  fingers  in  my  eyes  everyday  sooo ,

My  eye  doc   recommended  the  breathe-able  Night & Day  by  CIBA  vision .

You  put  them  in ,  leave  them  for  30  days ,  pop  them  out  and  toss  them .

No  taking  them  out  at  nite  because  they  are  breatheable .

Been  using  them  for  5  years ,  they  are  Fabulous !

But   same  monthly  cost  as  the  ones  you  take out  every  nite ,

Go  figure !

ps:  I  did  change  them  at  30  days  at  first ,  but  then

I  went  like  60  days  then  90 .

I   later  had  another  eye  exam  with  NO  problems ,

So ,  I  do  stretch  the  budget  by  only  changing  them  every  3  months .

Kate is exactly the type of contact lens wearer you should not take advice from.

That is abuse to the extreme. Very few people can get away with doing that for long.

But...she will get away with it until some day...she doesn't.

When you go for your exam , the Dr. will suggest the right type for you. tell him you are looking for the most economical way to do it.

Monthly disposables are the most cost effective...that you remove EVERY NIGHT ...

As for brands, well that will depend what fits you the best and is the most comfortable after having trial lenses.

So, don't worry too much about having to learn everything beforehand...that's what the optometrist and staff are there for.

They will know what is the best one for you...and teach you all you need to know.
