Wow. This is a great post. People disagreeing without flaming. I'm not sure what to think. I tend to trust the word of professionals, and troyohchatter's doctor says that these two contacts are the same, yet the evidence available to the general public on the Internet seems to indicate something else.

For all you Lens 101 groupies out there that have read to this point and are still scratching their heads, I would recommend you ask your own doctor and follow their advice. If your doctor says that they're the same, go for the Air Optix because they last longer. If your doctor says that they're different, wear the ones that he or she recommends.
