Most Liked Positive Review

My favorite for years!

My past professions have entailed extended work schedules, often in environments where cleaning and changing lenses while at work can damage the lenses, or introduce harmful foreign matter that can hurt my eyes as well. This particular brand and type of lens was the solution to that problem. If I hadn't already exceeded the recommended wearing time, I generally have to wait until I get home to clean (or replace if it is time) the lenses. Most of the time, I can just toss the old pair, give my eyes a break (8 hours for every week worn), and then replace them. I have found I must remove the lenses if I become ill (just a precaution, but especially if the flu), but allergies have no effect on my ability to just keep wearing them.

My wear schedule is unusual, due to the nature of my job, and while I experience no problems with this, I don't recommend it for others. I can be on the road for up to several weeks at a time, and the dirty work environment (as a trucker) deters my ability to change them. However, excluding periods of extreme eye fatigue, where my eyes can get very dry, I've never had an issue with this, not one infection or scratch to the eyes whatsoever. I've also worn them in chemistry labs and warehouses for extended periods, with the same eye protection as others, without a single problem.

I've worn other brands by other manufacturers, and have had considerable problems, including one very serious eye infection, within just a couple of days of wear (even when not at work, the time I generally will use to test new types of lenses). To date, this brand and type of lens is the only one I can trust to give me the clearest vision possible, while protecting my eyes.

If your prescription is stronger than most, like mine, I recommend ordering your next batch early on, as finding my strength at retailers while on the road is almost impossible, and my unpredictable work schedule makes it impossible to plan delivery to arrive at my next projected stop.

The only problem I have encountered with this type of lens is with regards to eye fatigue, because as the eyes dry out, so will the lenses. I generally will either take a rest break (a normal overnight sleep break usually does it for me), or if work conditions dictate that I can't stop for a couple of more hours, I'll switch back to glasses until I can get into a clean enough environment to put a new pair in, after giving my eyes the standard break by wearing glasses for a day or so.

I also recommend, for those with prescriptions as strong as mine, that you request the type with a blue tint to them. It makes it easier to see the lens when placing them into the eye, without changing your natural eye color. I also recommend wrap-around safety or sun glasses (depending on time of day) for very windy conditions (especially cross winds), as the ease of removal, even after prolonged wear, can cause them to blow out.

This is the perfect lens (in my opinion) for professionals who work mainly outdoors or in environments where chemicals, dust, fumes, motor vehicle exhaust and soot, etc, are a frequent hazard, and for health care workers who cannot chance touching their eyes, nor can just stop to deal with lenses going out of position or falling out during critical times.

Comments about Acuvue 2:

I've been wearing these for over 10 years and I forget I have them on. I sleep in them and keep them in for months at a time before changing them. I know you're not supposed to do that, but I've never had an issue. In fact, I only get issues if I try and take them out every day. My theory is that dirt or contaminants get on them whenever you touch them, so the less you touch them the better. I think I've gone two months on the same pair before without removing them a single time, never had an issue. Don't try this at home, bla bla bla but it works for me!
