I've been wearing contact lenses for about 7 years. I was nervous at first, especially as there are eye problems in my family. I didn't want to do anything that might be detrimental to my eyesight or cause problems down the line. Also my job at the time meant that I was out of the house for 12 hours at a time, I wanted lenses I could leave in for this length of time without worrying that my eyes would dry. For these reason I didn't go for the cheapest option but instead took advice from my optician and chose Acuvue Advance.
These lenses are licensed for continuous wear, so in theory they could be left in the eye for the full 2 weeks before needing to be changed. My optician explained that this is because they allow a lot of oxygen to the back of the eye, so the lense does not need to be removed to allow the eye to 'breath'. However, it is healthier to remove the lenses and clean them, keeping them in a storage case over night.
I wear mine for at least 12 hours a day, and use a computer a lot of the time both at work and at home, and I have not had any problems with drying of the eyes or discomfort whatsoever.
I have mine on a pre pay plan from boots, which includes fluids, eye tests and aftercare, for £20 a month (2 pairs a month). However the lenses are available online at reduced prices. I recently purchased some to tide me over as I occasionally lose or tear a lense!
