Yes, that's right. I could see beautifully, for about 20 minutes. My eyes would dry out to the point that the lens was not floating on the tear film. The spots that were dry made it look to me like I was looking through a rainy windshield. They were so uncomfortable that I would have to take them out. I'm using Proclears and while they are comfortable, I don't have very good near vision correction at all. I'm in the strongest add that they make. The far vision is about 20/40, which is the legal requirement for driving in CA. When this year's supply is up, I will be trying out something else....something with a stronger add, but that will still keep at 20/40 for distance. Why do you ask?
