Hello reditchy
I was interested in that comment you made about the Biofinity Lenses being more comfortable than the SiH (which as you say are supposedly identical apart from the packaging).
I had a similar experience with another rebranded Biofinity lens called Expert Premium S. My right eye was slightly less comfortable than the left eye while wearing Expert Premium S lenses. (I have more astigmatism in my right eye and this can cause discomfort as the eyes are sensitive to that kind of thing). But when I ordered Biofinity, they were very very comfortable.
CooperVision told me both lenses were identical, although there may have been small differenced that were within their manufacturing tolerances. Perhaps they did refine their product in the latest Biofinity lenses.
