“Amazing!”

I suffer from dry eyes and have a difficult time wearing contacts until I tried proclear. I can wear them over 12 hours with no problems. They are amazing!!! I would recommend to anyone. Well worth the price! (read more)
“Worst I've Worn In Forty Years”
Written on: 16/05/2013 by RomanHans
All the other reviewers are right: I've been wearing contact lenses for over forty years, since they were bigger and thicker than bottle caps, and these are by far the worst contact lenses I've ever had. They're ridiculously, uselessly thin, and they tear literally when you're pulling them off your eye. I take my contacts out every night and I've literally torn them within 24 hours of first use. Avoid these contacts like the plague, and be very suspicious of any doctor who'd recommend them,... (read more)
“These lenses are defective”
Written on: 19/11/2012 by Proclearhater
I have been wearing contacts for 36 years. These lenses are the worst I have ever worn. I was wearing Biomedics 55 however their Rx does not go higher than a -10.00. I had a need for a -10.5 and so was recommended Proclear Compatibles by my eye doc. Right off, they started ripping when cleaning. They also appear to build up proteins on the lense immediately even with proper cleaning. I have been unable to wear these for longer than a few days due to discomfort or tearing of the lense. I was... (read more)

Written on: 19/05/2012 by EyesToSee
I have been wearing contact lenses all my life. Proclear contact lenses are the worst I have ever worn! I work in the legal field and in my opinion, Cooper Vision has manufactured a defective and dangerous product. Reading reviews here confirms this--it's not just me who has suffered damages from these awful contact lenses! Other brands of contact lenses may rip or tear, but Proclear is unique in that they develop microscopic tears in the center of each lens, often after only a few days... (read more)

I confirm that the pro-clear contact lens are great. There are much more comfortable than other contacts lenses i have used. But there are also very tear prone. They only last a couple of days after which they develop microscopic tears. And when they do, there get much more uncomfortable than any contact lens i have ever tried.
Again they are great...until they get those microscopic tears.

I've been using ProClear Toric since last summer and so far (knock on wood)I haven't had any tears. But I have to say that my trial pair was my absolute best. It was perfect and I was so excited to order more. However, the lenses I have ordered since then have not been as great as I thought they would be. I really don't know why since the prescription was the same. I'm on the fence about going back to Acuvue because of the cost. I'm not sure the tiny bit of improvement is really worth... (read more)

Amazed at the negative reviews. Though I guess contact lenses are a personal preference thing. I'm really happy with Pro Clear. Decided to go back to contact lenes after a 2 year break. Boots the optician pointed me in the direction of "Acuve Moist", so I bought a 30 day supply (£39 in total). After a few days I realised that my expereince was truely horrid. These things are so so wet they slip n slide all over. Just getting them into the eyes was a nightmare and often resulting in; 1) a... (read more)
“Proclear Toric lenses - tear while wearing them”

Have been wearing contacts for 10+ years and never had a lense tear in my eye. When these tear into 2 pieces they float around the eye and are very difficult to remove. When I had the trial lenses I didn't have this issue but I have gone through a 6 month pack in 1 month. I thought maybe I received a bad batch or was stroing them in the wrong solution but after seeing others with the same problem it appears it's just a bad product. That is too bad because when in working condition they... (read more)

I have had the exact same problem - the lenses are tearing on the laser mark, and I am very frustrated because I found them very comfortable to wear. Can't find another lense that is as comfortable, but they really need to make the proclear lenses durable.

I agree. Very comfortable lenses that lack durability. Tear constantly even in my eyes. Too expensive to continue wearing and tearing. Must switch back to previous lenses.

What a disaster! Lenses tear after two or three removals. Had to go the doctor's office to have a fragment removed. I have worn contacts for 15 years without any problems. FDA should ban this product. It's a hazard! Avoid at all costs! (read more)

I have worn contact lenses for 16 years and I have never had even one lens tear. Since I started wearing the Proclear Toric lenses I have had 5 lenses tear-often within a few days of wearing them! With a 500 dollar price tag I am extremely annoyed! These lenses are clearly defective!

proclear compatible lenses are deficient and should not be sold in any respectable vision center. My son who has been using contact lenses for many years purchased these lenses, and like many others have reported,they ripped extremely easy.

I had a years supply, and made them last well over a year by wearing them for 5 weeks. Then, I ran out of the original supply and started into a new batch this summer, and began ripping right lenses after about 10 days. I have been wearing contacts since 1981 and have worn other lenses for over a whole year, so I know how to care for and handle them. The other thing was that when I switched to this new batch of lenses, my vision and comfort level changed noticeably. I feel as if Cooper... (read more)

Was thrilled that I could finally get a disposable lense in my perscription (Proclear Toric). Similar to the experience others have had, they rip very easily. I had one rip in my eye and spent quite some time trying to extract the pieces. I now have a bloodshoot sore eye. I have written to Cooper Vision about the issue and will be interested in their response. My goal now is to get a refund and will have to go back to wearing a regular lense. (read more)

I have worn Frequency 55 Toric lenses for about 8 years, or as long as they have been on the market if it hasn't been that long. My Dr. put me on Proclears for moisture content and what not. I've only worn them for a day but I think that I hate them. I have to squint to get 100% focus, and they are not near as comfortable as my Frequency lenses. (I am bad about wearing my lenses too long, so I am not overly easy on them) I will be asking to go back to Frequencies.

First of all, I want to make it clear that I didn't even want to give this any star rating. My optometrist highly recommended the product, I bought a six month supply, the first two made my eyes so uncomfortable and itchy I had to stop wearing contact for a few weeks after, each time. The third one, and last one I put on and immediately felt something stingy in my eye, when I took it off, there is a big chunk missing from the lense.

Really bad Experience.
My doctor suggested these and when they arrived I opened the first pair and the left contact was already torn in the package! So I threw that one in the trash and tried another left contact. Within less than 20 minutes of the first use the contact had torn into several pieces in my eye and I needed to have them removed at the hospital after trying unsuccessfully for over 4 hours to flush them out. After checking out reviews of this product online I can see that...

Basically with all contacts, you need to take care of them. With good care, these contacts can be great. I've never had these contacts rip or anything of that matter. From reading these reviews, all the problems were lack of care. Contacts mainly stick to your eyes when there is too much protein build up, which means you need to take your contacts out.. And the reason that they are ripping is because of rough handling or from cheap solution. Maybe changing the contact lens solution will... (read more)

This is not true. I have been wearing contacts for 20 years and have never had trouble with them ripping and am not rough with them. And I even tried these with good solution. They rip for no reason. I am scared to even touch them long enough to get them on. I have never had this trouble before but they discontinued my old contacts (which were great) so I had to find new ones. I have gone through 4 months worth in 2 weeks. I cannot afford this.

These things have ruined my night many a time by spontaneously ripping without having any external stimulus.

These dry up when in places like Home Depot and in the warehouse at work.

In Summery, Proclear Contact lenses help out a little with dry/pasty feelings at the end of the day.
BUT they're smaller B&L or Acuvue2, more difficult to get out of your eye, and have no markings to indicate if it is inside out or not.
I would say pass on it!!!
First try those eye drops for contact lense dryness. Then get a try out pair from your eye doctor. If he doesn't give them out, go to a better one that does.
