Thanks for your replay,Nakedeyes.
This is day 3 of my wearing Oasys, and I have to say they are *better* than Acuvue 2. I did not need rewetting drops every 10 minutes. Sometimes it feels as if the edge of the lens is abrasive or rubbing- in my right eye I have a *slight* astigmastism. I do not want to pay even MORE for a toric lens for that eye. I never did with Acuvue 2's and never had an issue. I am wondering if I will now need a toric lens if the scratchy feeling is from my astigmatism?
Does anybody know how much more toric Oasys lenses run on average?
I have Visine Long Lasting Dry Eye Relief tears drops. I think I should be able to use them with these
contacts.
Soooo anyone with astigmastim and Oasys? Do you wear regular lens or a toric?

I'm sorry you're having problems with your Acuvue Oasys contacts. Tell me this. How does your current experience compare to when you first starting wearing contacts lenses? I'm guessing you had a lot less trouble the first time.
I don't think you have to worry about infection as long as you keep the Oasys contacts clean. Give it a few days, and if they don't feel any better, call your doctor, because as soon as you do he/she will ask you to go in. Maybe you need to go back to the Acuvue 2 contacts.
If you were able to wear the Oasys contacts for seven hours even though they were "dry" and "very uncomfortable," it shouldn't take long for you to adjust to them. I wish you well and I hope to hear about your progress.
