Acuvue Oasys Contacts - Some Additional Info

If you have been wearing contact lenses for very long at all you, most likely, realize that some contacts work better for you than others. Acuvue oasys contacts offer both low prices and a high degree of wearer satisfaction. Their basic lenses start at under $25 a box (30-day supply). However – acuvue oasys contacts made to treat astigmatism can run about $48 a box – depending on where you purchase them and how many you purchase at a time.

Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiary Acuvue as well as other leading contact lenses manufacturers offer lenses at a slightly lower price than does Acuvue’s Oasys brand  - yet Acuvue’s Oasys contact lenses offer contact lens wearers with sensitive and/or dry eyes a much more appropriate as well as highly respectable product. This may be because of a wetting agent Johnson & Johnson calls Hydraclear Plus. Acuvue promises that "Oxygen transmission built into ultra-smooth, more wettable lenses means extra comfort and less lens dryness, even in tough surroundings that might dry out other lenses."

And it is not just Acuvue that touts the advantages, comfort and quality of acuvue oasys contacts. Various customers review, with a certain determined glee, that acuvue oasys contacts stay comfortable and hydrated for upwards of 14 hours a day – even while staring at a computer monitor for hours-on-end or whilst spending hours in smoky nightclubs.

Another advantage to acuvue oasys contacts (that may or may not be important to any given customer) is that they are tinted a light blue – making them much easier to find if accidentally dropped in the sink, counter or floor.

Some customers actually rave about acuvue oasys contacts as being miraculous. One customer stated that the decision to wear them – “was the best decision I have ever made.” Another customer remarked; “Wow. I was impressed. I could see clearer than ever with any other lenses and what impressed me the most was that I could not even feel the lenses in my eyes.”

In the interest of giving you an honest and helpful review, however, I feel that I must share with you the (alleged or possible) darker side of Acuvue Oasys contacts. One customer reported dryness and itching problems that developed after only three months of use.  Such complaints may be related to the fact that Acuvue Oaysis Contacts are made of silicon, which some people are highly allergic to.

In conclusion, the best I can tell you is that if you are not allergic to silicon (from which they are made) or any other agent, fluid or material used in the manufacture of Acuvue Contact Lenses –then you may very well turn out to be one of Acuvue Oasys Contact’s greatly satisfied customers. I do, however, highly recommend to cease usage of contact lenses and/or solution if itchiness or dry-eye suddenly become a problem. And if such (or any other) problems should occur it is absolutely imperative that you contact your doctor immediately.
