New Contact wearer

I've never worn contacts before and hear these are a good brand. Can anyone affirm this?

Hi there,

I have been wearing lenses for 20 years, and for my part Accuvue never did fit me, and I have try many kind of Accuvue, so the best brand for me is Proclear 1-day or 15 days.
Their is something in Accuvue that make me allergic (it could be the silicone that they ar made with). Any way just try them and if you see that your eyes become red. STOP for a few days and try another brand. Each person is different. One more thing, when you first try them, have you doctor give you a sample to try. They all have them in their office.

As suggested above, I would give them a try first using a sample. I think one a days are a good way to start for new contact lens users. They will assure you sterility and a level of cleanliness that cannot be beaten by other longer usage contacts.

Some people do well with one brand others with others. The only way is to try them out for a whole day and report any signs of irritation to your eye doctor. Best of luck!

I never had a problem with them, but I'm all for trying out other brands too. So just give them a try, if you find them perfect then you don't have to do anything else.

Many people have different view on contact wear. It will be better for you to try them on your own. I have good experience with these brand of contact however other might have different perception too.

I have been wearing lenses for 2 years, and find it much better than glasses.

Just less worries of breaking anything, and I haven't ever lost a lens.

Though I've scratched a few.

Just got to try it out.
