Good Points

Easy to put in, very comfortable FOR 20 MINUTES!


Bad Points

Dry up quickly and a white coating/film covered them which meant I couldn't see. Also, eyes felt swollen and uncomfortable. Possible allergic reaction to silicone. I tried them on five different occasions and had same results. I think the optometrist is on commission...


General Comments

I am a very experienced lens wearer and can put lenses in and out easily. I have worn most types over the last 22 years. I was given a sample pack and told how wonderful they were by the optician as they are so much more breathable. I popped them in easily and yes they were really comfy. Then I jumped in my car and went to the shops. I had a real panic as by time I had got to the checkout they were completely fogged and would not clear on blinking. I sat in my car and rubbed my eyes praying they would clear so I could drive home, I took them out and they were all milky. Luckily I had some old spares in the glove box. Next day I tried again. Sure enough went in fine but then 20 minutes later fogged over and impossible to clear. Double the price of my current lenses. It seems I am allergic to them so won't recommend them on that basis. Also, on googling, I have seen many items where people have developed sight threatening infections as they have persevered. Better to chuck them and see your optician straight away.
