“Stay away!! ** ended up with a nastly eye infection!”
Written on: 15/05/2013
These are by far the worst contact lenses ever made... after a few days of wear my eyes went bloodshot and swollen ulcers were forming in my eyes. My Eye Dr. advised to stop using immediately. Switched back to my normnal Acuvue 2's no problems! Thinking this may of been a fluke or other cause I tried the Advance again and boom it was the same thing over again scary stuff! (read more)
“Worst Ever! Damages eyes!”
Written on: 15/02/2013 by koolboi
Don't even try these lenses, they will damage your eyes. I know how to wear contact lenses and keep them clean. I've worn other brand lenses and I take care of lenses so well I could wear 2 week lenses for months. This brand... I can't even get through 2 days without worrying that my eyes are permanently damaged by the end of the day. white spots on lenses. A whole box (six lenses) hardly lasts a week and half and they are not supposed to be daily lenses. Absolutely horrible! Don't even... (read more)
“terrible lenses, I'm returning them for something else”
Written on: 23/08/2012
I've worn soft lenses for over 20 years now and this is the worst experience I have ever had with any contact lenses, ever. Within a few hours of putting them in, they get foggy, they have deposits on them, and they lose their shape, getting the fold around the edge and they get all scratchy feeling. I was told they're supposed to last for up to 2 weeks, I'm lucky if I get 1-2 days before they're trashed. Ridiculous. The old Acuvue 2's would last me for a good month before they had the...

“awful!”
Written on: 22/04/2012
If I could rate less than one star I would. I don't get more than 3 or 4 days out of each lens before they become unbearably painful... And my optometrist said they're good for 2-4 weeks. I never get more than a couple days. I thought it was just me till I saw all these review s. Don't waste your money, I will never get this brand again. (read more)
“un-impressed with this brand...”
Written on: 08/12/2011 by danielchandler (1 review written)
I have worn contact lenses for 15+ years. I have had all of the normal problems with them in this time, dust/hair in your lens, folding, and tearing after I wore them for longer than the two week window. The 'large super product store' that I have always gotten my lenses at decided to stop carrying my old brand, so my Dr prescribed Acuvue for me. After the first two or three days the lenses get very un-comfortable and I couldn't figure out why they always felt dirty until I held them to a... (read more)

Written on: 15/10/2010
These lenses are horrible. I have worn contact lenses for the past 20+ years and most recently have worn Acuvue II's. My doctor recommended the Advance with Hydroclear, and I have had nothing but problems ever since. I feel a dry gritty film on my eyes. I used to never feel my other contacts. Also, I have gotten headaches every evening after more than 8 hours of wear. My eyes are constantly dry. Absolutely horrible. (read more)

Written on: 05/10/2010
I have worn contacts for over 15 years, and I've never had an issue with these. My optometrist recommends that I wear them for two weeks at a time, but by the end of the first week they dry out very early in the evening. If I wear them to 10 or 11 PM they start to scratch my eyes, which just gets progressively worse every day, until I can no longer wear them at all. I will be asking for a refund on my unused lenses. Absolutely horrible. (read more)

Written on: 26/10/2009
Do not buy these lenses if you wear makeup. I've been wearing contacts for over 20 years and these are by far the worst lenses I've ever tried. Shortly after putting them in my eyes they would feel gritty and when looking in mirror you could see visible deposits on them, even fresh out of the package after onnly a few minuts. I was told this is likely makeup sticking to the lense, although I wear makeup for contact lenses wearers and it never happened with my previous brand. However, my... (read more)

My optition recommended these contact Acuvue Advance lenses although I had been wearing normal dailies for a year she gave the impression they were good for my eyes, the contact lenses were comfortable for a few weeks until they started to get harder to put in and made my eyes sting really badly and at I noticed i couldn't see well in one eye and it would be perfect in the other. I would not recommend these. (read more)

Written on: 22/02/2009
I have been wearing contacts for about 10 years. I have never had a problem wearing lenses until my doctor recommended these Acuvue Advance lenses. At first I was able to apply them with little struggle, but now I can't seem to get them into my eyes. The lenses fold REALLY easily. If I can get them into my eyes at all, the bottom folds in and irritates my eye and I have to taken them out. I would not recommend these lenses to anyone. (read more)

Written on: 03/12/2008
I got Acuvue Advance as a trial pair on doctor's advice -- horrible! They're slippery and fold over when you try to put them in, then once in, they dry out easily and blur like crazy. I said No Thanks and went back to Acuvue 2 for the actual prescription. (read more)

Written on: 22/11/2008
I don't understand why people are reporting goo and stuff, maybe some people are allergic or something as this doesn't sound normal and they don't do it to me.
They do tend to fold if you are clumsy with them, also they seem quite delicate. (But I am used to the old ones that lasted a YEAR, and then RPGs, so all disposables seem flimsy to me!) As for the reviewer who claims they take 20 minutes to put in, that person must be doing something strange...

The worst lens I've ever worn - eye goop, blurry vision, don't last for more than 4 days,
I cannot recommend the Acuvue Advance contact lenses for that reason. If contact lenses are to be worn all day in your eye, they need to be very comfortable.

Written on: 04/11/2008
I have worn contact lenses for over 37 years and when I first made the change from hard gas permeable lenses to soft lenses 5 years ago, my optician recommended Acuvue Advance. I have not experienced any problems until this year.
This year I have noticed that the recently purchased batch behaved differently than the previous lenses. The lenses seemed to fold more easily and I sometimes had difficulty in removing them. During recent months I have suffered from very bloodshot eyes after...

A lot of people say acuvue advance is really uncomfortable and bad. but for me, they are really comfortable and perfect! i used to wear acuvue 2 but i recently switched to acuvue advance. for me, acuvue 2 was too uncomfortable and my eyes got dried out VERY VERY easily. but i was fine for 10 hours with acuvue advance. it has a very clear vision. although it is a little harder to insert and take the lenses out, it shouldnt be a problem.

I wore Acuvue 2 for at least 4+ years. Switched to a trial pair of Acuvue Advance. Within 4 hours, the lenses were feeling dried up in my eyes. I stuck with them and the dryness problem did not go away after 4 or 5 days. So I'm switching back to Acuvue 2. (read more)

Written on: 01/08/2008
I'm hoping they clear up soon. I'm wondering if there is an adjustment period? Thank goodness this is a free trial pair. I put them in for the first time this morning. My vision is not as clear as with my former lenses, "2 Clear" premier toric. I feel slightly nauseous after wearing them for several hours. I have to say that the Acuvue Advance contact lenses feel comfortable although my eye gets itchy now and then. (read more)

Written on: 24/07/2008
I have worn contacts for years, my prescription changed, my optomotrist said "let's try Acuvue Advanced". Big mistake. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They are very uncomfortable, which I believe has something to do with the fact that they fold in on themselves. When I went to take them out last night, the one in my left eye didn't readily release from my eye. Instead, it folded in on it's self whilst still in my eye. I'm going back to my old brand.

Written on: 12/07/2008
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... (read more)

I have worn contacts for years and i'm not generally good about cleaning, changing them or not sleeping in them and i have never had problems until the advance hydroclears. For the past several months i thought it was my allergies messing with my eyes and fouling out my contacts. The worst part is my eyes itch horribly no matter how much i change them clean them or even pop in new one's. I have rubbed my eyes so hard that the inside of the lid has torn several times and my eye gets all... (read more)

Written on: 16/06/2008
To start off, it's been about 3 years since I last wore contacts. My last pair were Acuvue Torics and I absolutely loved them. R&D at Acuvue must have been asleep at the wheel when they made Acuvue Advanced. I've given the Advanced lenses a solid try and have worn a sample pair for about 4 days. That being said, these lenses are horrible. Not only does it feel like I constantly have something in my eye but they are difficult to put in due to the taco effect. I've also noticed that no matter... (read more)

Written on: 28/04/2008
The first pair of contacts i got were acuvue advanced. I know it's hard to put in at first when your new at it but these tended to fold up or stick to my finger and it's very frustrating. But other than putting them in they are fantastic and very breathable. It's fairly easy to take them out too. I love these they are so comfortable and I'd recommend them to anyone!
P.S. I'm near-sighted if thats any help or info that you might need based on a typical review.

Written on: 24/04/2008
These are without a doubt the worse lenses I've ever owned. Normally I can put contacts in in a minute. These lense take at least 20 minutes to get in since the lense likes to constantly collapse and taco, and stick to your finger instead of your eye. For example you go to put the contact in and it folds back on itself and wraps around your fingertip instead.
Also they're extremely uncomfortable. It always feels like there's something in your eye no matter how much you clean the contact....

Used Acuvue for years with no problems. My doctor switched me to Acuvue Advance for astigmatism because he said the acuvue that I been wearing was discontinued. I have never had a problem with my contacts until the Advance. Feels like it is not setting on my eye properly. Blurred vision. Feels terrible and aggravating! I wore for two days and now my doctor has ordered same script in a different brand. (read more)

Written on: 28/03/2008
Very comfortable at the beginning. Actually, more comfortable than acuvue 2 at the beggining, which were my former favorite contact lenses. I used it for 6 months, and I got my eyes very irritated, with heavy eyes. Whenever I used it, I couldn't stand for no more than some hours. I needed to stop using contact lenses for a while and taking care of it with doctors. (read more)

I had had terrible dryness problems using daily contact lenses and had to stop wearing contacts altogether for a month. when the dryness cleared up my optician recommended the acuvue advance lenses which let 5x more oxygen to your eyes.

Don't know if I have an allergy to the silicon content in these but they were horrendous. Just felt as though there was something in my eyes all the time, as if the contact had a slight tear or something. I changed them twice so it couldn't have been the solution either as the same effect happened brand new from the box.
I used to use the Acuvue monthly disposable without the slightest problem but they have been discontinued unfortunately...they were lots cheaper too!

I was advised to switch to Acuvue Advance by my optitian after experiencing dryness and irritation with my previous 2 weekly disposable lenses. I was told these would be more comfortable due to their ability to retain more moisture. The first thing I noticed was that the lenses just felt downright uncomfortable and certainly no more comfortable that my previous lenses. The second thing that happened was that after about 4 or 5 days, deposits seemed to be clouding up the surface of the... (read more)

Well.. Putting these lenses in is fairly easy (so long as you have plenty of solution on hand to 'untaco' them, because they do this frequently.) They seem to settle down fairly quickly in your eyes.
I noticed that there was no irritation upon putting them in, and the whites of my eyes looked clear and did not go red as used to happen when i was using Soflens 66's. I also noticed that my eyes looked very shiny and moist. Before i had always been told that my eyes looked dull or...

Written on: 26/12/2006 by shania (2 reviews written)
Very comfortable lenses for me! I guess everyone really is different. I used to wear Acuvue2 and they were fine - but they did tire my eyes out after 12 hours or so. The Acuvue Advance let me wear them all day and evening with no discomfort. I recently tried the Pure Vision ones. Sounded great to me, but after the first week they were terribly scratchy and unwearable. After the rave reviews I had read on those, I thought perhaps I was just crazy, so I tried another pair. Same thing... (read more)

They are generally very uncomfortable. Aside from the cost and ease of taking out of the case (I swear, you can swim in solution for five minutes with some contacts) and eye, they don't have any benifits. I'll take the Bausch & Lomb PureVision any day. Far more comfortable, far more aesthetically appealling and far less troublesome. (read more)

Acuvue Advance Contacts were horrible! I swore it was something wrong with my eyes!!! I went frantically to the optometrist to have my eyes examined. I told her that they were irritating my eyes and that there were "spots" on my lens that I was not able to rub off. She looked and was completely perplexed. She saw the spots in the microscope and said it was like footprints all over my lens. This occurs with each new pair I put on, just hours after. I will never ever buy these again! Do not buy.

After 7-8 hours use, these Acuvue Advance contacts get very irritating. I have to take them out unnecessarily in the middle of the day or else, as I cannot help scratching my eyes. Also, these Acuvue Advance, with magical Hydraclear and all, create some type of weird moisture that blurs my eyes, and again it is necessary to take them out. Horrible contacts. Do not buy.

I thought it was just my eyes until I read other reviews here. Acuvue Advance contacts really suck! I bought a whole stinking year supply of them and lost my receipt and I can't even make a pair last for two weeks. After a couple of wears, I can no longer tolerate them in my eyes and in the trash they go. I wear my glasses a lot to make them last through the year because I cannot afford to buy more until my insurance will approve it in 4 months. I will never get these lenses again. I can't...

Written on: 28/06/2006 by teague (1 review written)
I've been wearing B&L toric lenses for quite a few years and have always been relatively pleased, except my vision tended to deterioriate in the evening. I recently tried the newer Acuvue Advanced for Astigmatism. When I took the trial set home I was immediately struck with the tendency of the lens to "taco" during handling. This is probably due to the dual-slab design of the lens (thinner at the top and bottom for centering with bliniking) as opposed to the prism design of the B&L lenses... (read more)
