I have worn normal monthly disposable contact lenses before but got sick of having to take them out and clean them every night. Also with most you're really only supposed to wear them for 5days a week and upto about 12hours a day which means swapping between contacts and glasses which has always made me feel dizzy as my eyes have to adjust to focusing differently. Eventually I gave up and went back to glasses but with a prescription of -7.25, the lenses are quite thick even when I get the thinner and lighter ones.
I read about the new contact lenses that could be worn continuously for 30days and thought they sounded just what I needed. I was (and still am) a little bit worried about the increased risk of infections with these types of lenses but providing you get regular checks and take out the lenses if they start to become uncomfortable, then hopefully there shouldn't be any problems. They also sounded good as I'm pregnant and when baby comes I would like to be able to fall asleep without having to worry about taking out my contacts or trying to find my glasses in the middle of the night.
I went to the opticians and found out that the lenses would be suitable for me but that I would have to go back regularly so that they could check my eyes. I had my eyesight checked first but had to wait a week before I could try the lenses as they didn't keep them in stock. As I had worn lenses before they watched me putting them in just to check I could still manage it but would have given a full lesson if I had needed it. I was told to wear them as a standard monthly lens for a week and take them out at night so my eyes could get used to them.
During the week I found the lenses very comfortable and after a while couldn't even feel them in my eyes. I had no problems until the night before I was due back to the opticians when one of them really hurt as I took it out. With a slighty sore eye, I went back to find out that they'd grazed the surface of my eye and that I'd have to go back to glasses for a week while it healed. I was told this was probably because they move differently to other contact lenses when in the eye. The opticians ordered me a new pair to try. After a week of no contacts, they asked me to wear the lenses overnight and to come back in the next day to check for any problems, after that I was asked to wear them for a week day and night then have my eyes checked again. Then I could wear them for a month. The lenses were fine in the day but my eyes were very dry in the morning and after a few blinks they stuck to my eyes slightly. I went back to the opticians who gave me some drops called blink and clean which I put in first thing in the morning to wet my eyes and clean the surface of the lenses.
I saw a different optician each time each time and they all told me different things. Some said to leave them out for one night a week to give my eyes a break, others said that they would be fine to be left in all month. I decided for the first month to just leave them in as my eyes seemed to become more irritated when I took the lenses out to clean. However, when I went back after the first month, I was told that I was getting a build up behind the lenses (even with the drops) and it would be better to take them out once a week to give them a good clean.
Overall, I do like the lenses although it is a bit of a hassle at first as you have to keep going back so often for check ups. I don't even have to give my name now as I've been in so often they know me! The lenses are very comfortable and don't feel dry at the end of the day like traditional lenses. Apart from first thing in the morning my eyes look a lot whiter than before and actually feel better than they did before I started wearing contacts. I think some of the problems I've had are due to the fact I'm pregnant (which can cause poor tolerance of contact lenses) and I will update the review after I've had my baby to see if there's any difference.
I got my lenses from Premier Vision and they are £25 including solutions (£23 without) which I find quite expensive. I know they can be bought cheaper online but with the amount of aftercare you need with these lenses it's probably cheaper overall to get them from the opticians (mine charge £18 for appointments if you don't get lenses from them - free if you do)
If you can afford them then I think these are worth a try, especially if you've had problems with other lenses or if you wear them for a long time (or if you're likely to fall asleep in them after a night out!)
I've given 4 stars instead of 5 due to the cost and the amount of time you'll spend at the opticians for checks and aftercare.
Advantages: Dont need changing for 30 days Disadvantages: Expensive
...lenses until I heard about Focus Night and Day lenses. My friend had been wearing them ever since they first became available in the UK and had nothing but praise for them. They are recommended for allergy suffers, people with active lifestyles and people who have difficulties putting in and taking out contact lenses.
They are a fairly new type of lens on the market that allow continuous wear for up to 30 days. I’m sure that anyone who has ever ... ...with the world in soft focus again. You don’t realise how quickly you get used to having 20/20 vision. Focus Night and Day are not suitable for everyone, but most contact lens wearers should be OK with them. They are suitable for a wide range of prescriptions. They are not cheap. Dolland and Aitcherson charge £25 a month for them, and prices tend to range from £20 - £30 amongst other opticians.
But in my book £25 for 20/20 vision, freedom and not ...

Advantages: Convenience, no cleaning, sleep in them Disadvantages: Fairly expensive
OK,I am far too much of a baby to have laser eye treatment….. so I had to find the next best alternative. After recovering from the devastation of being told I needed glasses when I was 8 years old, I finally progressed on to Contact lenses when I was 23. I have worn monthly disposable contact lenses for about the last 6 years, courtesy of Dolland and Achinson (feel free to read my review on them!). Though I found my monthly disposable lenses amazingly ... ...a little unsatisfied. I needed something more from them. The daily ritual of removing and cleaning my lenses had begun to get to me. Especially after nights out and quite a few drinks, when I'm not sure its safe to try poking fingers in eyes. There were times when I wished I could just go to bed and close my eyes without the fear of not being able to open them in the morning because my lenses had dried up (It only happened once!!!)
I remembered ...

...from Black and Lizar’s advertising Focus Night and Day contact lenses.
By coincidence I was going to the optician that day for a checkup so I asked about them right away. They’re currently offering a months free trial on these lenses. The optician ordered them for me on the Saturday, and phoned to say I could collect them on the Tuesday.
These lenses look exactly like normal disposable lenses. They’re round and curved to fit the shape of your eye. ... ...be OK with them and you should check with your optician to find out for sure.
Wearing Focus Night and Day contact lenses is definitely a more convenient way of wearing contact lenses. It’s one less thing to worry about – which is something I think we all need. ...

...He mentioned the new Focus All Day All Night contact lenses that were now available. This is just as simple as it sounds - yip you got it - you wear these lenses all day and all night. This interested me immensely let me tell you.
Without further ado my optician handed me a pair in my new prescription. He said to put them in and forget about them for a maximum of 30 days. This sounded way too easy but i was really looking forward to trying them.
... ...in i opened these new Focus All Day All Night lenses and put them in. The actual lenses looked just like my previous soft contact lenses but on closer examination there was a slight difference. These ones were totally clear whereas my others had been a blue tinge making them easier to see. But then i thought to myself that i only need to see these twice!! Once to put them in and once to take them out!!
I also noticed that these new lenses were ultra ...

...(dreadful), 1-Day Acuvue (good) and Focus Dailies (mediocre).
Unfortunately, the length of time I could comfortably wear any daily disposable started to decrease. Eventually, I was down to about 10 hours a day. I'd read about Focus Night and Day, and knew they were made of a more breathable silicone hydrogel. This new material lets 5 times move oxygen into your eyes compared to soft contact lenses which rely on water content to get the oxygen to ... ...case and filling it with Focus Aqua solution. I immediately noticed that my eyes were much more comfortable, even wearing the lenses for all my waking hours (14-16 hours). I also noticed that the whites of my eyes were much whiter, without the general pinkness I was getting from one-day lenses. This is because now my eyes were getting more oxygen, the new blood vessels that had formed were no longer needed. I'm not sure if the blood vessels actually ...
