Re: contact lenses
I wear Copper Vision Aspheric monthly disposeabl contact lenses and they're acctually pretty good. However, by the end of the month they seem to get harder and stingy and my eyes get drier. Dry eyes are something thats very normal if u wear conact lenses; its quite unavoidable so u have to use eye drops now and then.
Acuve didnt suit me either. I got trial pairs and these ones suited me better. This is something only ur optometrist can really help u with..ask him to give u trial pairs for other competent brands and wear them and see how u feel in them. He/she should have given u a trial paper to start off with so that u can choose between the most comfertable ones.
Make sure u dont go for Acuve again or reduce it to two-weekly ones or monthly since they are the most comfertable compared to extended wear (long lasting) contact lenses which is what i think u have. Daily conatcts are the most comfertable but also the most expensive and u never noe everyones different and some ppl suit monthly better than 2-weeklys or vice-versa. :)
P.S: I used FreshLook Colorblends for a while and urgh never again. This brand tottaly sucks. Its just cheap. But dont noe abt u it might be good for u.
