    5 Stars Suddenly I see! 02/11/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Comfortable, reasonably priced

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Here is a fact I bet you didn’t know. Leonardo Da Vinci actually sketched the first lens as we know it in the early 1500s, although they were not brought into reality until the 1800s. The soft lens as we know today was invented last century by the Czech chemist Otto Wichterle and his assistant Drahoslav Lím. For me personally, I have been wearing lenses for nearly five years, nearly as long as I have been wearing glasses. I find them easy to use, comfortable and it is almost as if I have perfect sight again. I prefer them to glasses as I find it hard to find glasses to suit me, in the summer I ... more

    4 Stars Stop me bumping into stuff! 03/05/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages comfortable and less flimsy than dailies

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not for really long-term wear

    Well, no - I still bump into loads of stuff, but contact lenses can only fix your eyesight, not ingrained clumsiness! ;) Jokes aside, I have been wearing contact lenses since 1995, and this particular brand since its launch c.2004. Acuvue Advance are fortnightly-disposable lenses for daily wear: I moved from monthly ones, back in the days when most contact lenses were bought at huge expense for a full year of daily wear! I was always too scared that I'd damage them. That remains the one issue with these: it's still quite easy to nick the edge a little (maybe my nails are too long) - very ... more

    4 Stars These are a sight for sore eyes 19/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages comfortable; easy to clean and use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can tear; not as air permeable as some

    When I first started wearing contact lenses, which was 5 years ago now, I was initially advised by my optician to start with daily wear lenses. However, I quickly moved on from these as they felt very thick, even with me having nothing to compare them to, and as a consequence it felt as though very little air was getting through them to my eyes. A few months later I started ordering my lenses through a different optician, and when I explained the problems I was having with these lenses, they instead gave me these acuvue advance lenses, which are fortnightly, rather than daily. The first thing ... more

    5 Stars The most comfortable lenses I have tried 10/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very comfortable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    When I went to the opticians the other week for my annual contact lense check up my optician said that my eyes looked very irritated and very sore. Although they didnt feel *very* sore I had noticed that my contacts were feeling quite dry recently and after discussing it with my optician she suggested that I should try a different lense. She decided to give me a trial of Acuvue Advance and asked me to return in a week to discuss how I had been getting on with the lenses. What are Acuvue Advance? The full name of my contact lenses are Acuvue Advance with Hydraclear. They are made by Johnson and ... more

    5 Stars Comfort for the Eyes 14/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very comfy, don't dry your eyes out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None really

    I've been wearing these contact lenses for over two years now. I suffered with many problems with other types of lenses, such as dry, tired & itchy eyes. My optician recommended these at the time because I was wearing my lenses for 12-14 hours a day and also staring at a computer screen for 8 hours a day at work. And these lenses are designed for extended wear as I think they allow your eyes to 'breathe' I've noticed the description next to the above pic of these states 'weekly disposable', but my optician told me they could be worn for a month (and that includes taking them out every night ... more

    5 Stars I can see clearly now 01/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wear for 2 weeks then replace so always feel like they are new

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that i can think of

    The Johnson & Johnson Acuvue Advance are the best disposible contact lenses that i have tried, (and i've tried a quite a few). They come in a blue and white little box with a contact lens plunging into water on the front cover with the words Acuvue Advance with Hydraclear written on it. There are 6 individual lenses all of the same prescription inside, each wrapped seperatley in its own little plastic case with a bump in the bottom of it that the lens fits very nicely into, this is filled with a solution to keep the lens clean and sterile prior to being opened. There is a foil style top which ... more

    5 Stars Great quality contact lenses 05/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very comfortable and easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not the cheapest on the market

    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 ... more

    5 Stars Beats all the competitors 21/09/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lasting Time, Ease to put in

    Disadvantages Disadvantages as with all except dailies the hygiene required

    I was new to contact lenses and after taking a monthly lense for half a year moved to another provider who recommended me this lense. I find this lense is brilliant as it lasts the full time, rarely do i have trouble putting them in nor do I feel it itchy in my eye. Furthermore for the price I am getting them its value for money is terrific. After experiencing and researching several different providers I found that money wise and through the trials wearing wise this lens beats all the competitors. You can feel through wearing the hydraclear function as it doesnt seem to feel dry when in your ... more

    5 Stars No Glasses For me 03/05/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages comfortable, easy to wear

    Disadvantages Disadvantages high maintenance as with any other contact lense

    In my opinion, Acuvue has the best and most comfortable contact lenses. I have been a loyal user for many many years. I like that I can wear it all day without the discomfort that I had encountered with the other brands. I started using Acuvue when my Optometrist recommended it when I complained about my dry gritty eyes when I wear contacts. I also suffer from astigmatism so the Acuvue Oasis is a great find. The accuvue oasys for astigmatism contacts are outstanding. The first time I put them in, I was going on and on about the comfort and how good they felt. I fell asleep in them a few times ... more
