Awful
I had worn contacts 16 years, acuvue oasis I would say for 10 years. This past year my eyes started to feel very dry using them even with using recommend contacts eye drops for dry eye. I decided to switch but wanted the same brand. I went to acuvue oasis hydraluxe to help with this as I was told they were super moisturizing. I got a few trial pairs and thought they were awesome. I purchased 6 months worth over 500$.
After 2 days of wearing them my eyes became red, eyelids became red and swollen and dry. I thought maybe a virus so stopped wearing for a month and they cleared. I used them again for a day and again same symptoms this time only after wearing for a few hours. This reaction lasted for 3 months....
After many years of insisting that I love to wear eyeglasses (and I still do - I think it can be a great fashion statement!) I finally jumped back on the part-time contact lens train. It had been quite some time since I wore them as I have low tear production and found them incredibly uncomfortable to wear longer than a few hours at a time.
My optometrist and I went through 3 or 4 different brands before she special-ordered the Acuvue Moist dailies (I think I'll have to send her some chocolates?). Although they are more expensive than any of the others I tried (around $70 for 90 pairs), they are very much worth the cost. I get extra days out of mine by using contact lens cleansing products (any brand works for me), so a 90-day supply will probably last me at least 3-4 times longer than that. I also don't wear them every single day.
Just like the name suggests, these feel moist and soft as though you are wearing nothing at all. I have not had to use Artificial Tears once since trying these.
If you have had problems with dry eye, I suggest you ask for Acuvue Moist!
