So tell me, how do your Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contacts feel at the end of the day? Are your eyes tired? Is your first priority when you get home from work or school to get the silly things out?

Yes! I am dying to get these things out in the evening. I've been wearing contacts for over 25 years but never had as much of a problem as I am having now with these Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism. I'm going to the optician soon to get it looked at because I can't put up with this. Good thing I just bought new glasses because I seem to be using them a lot more lately.

I'm sorry to hear that the Oasys contacts are giving you so much trouble. I hope you get this resolved. Let us know, okay?

I sometimes forget to take them out at night, my wife has had to remind me a few times to take them out. When they aren't cleaned properly or they are getting close to the end of their life span, my eyes do feel a bit tired. If I wear them a day too long, I am rubbing my eyes mid day.

I find after about 2 and a half weeks, they start to fade. It's not uncommon for me to wear them for 14 hours in a row though.

Overall I love them. But my perscription is weak and I don't get alot of protein build up.

If your struggling that badly, I might lean towards thinking your not a good candidate for contacts?

I've been using Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism since early August, and they are incredibly comfortable! The only problem I have encountered was some immediate irritation when inserting the lens one day. After inspecting it, I found a fine tear in the center, so I reported this to the online company I had purchased it from, and they replaced it. Other than that, I wear the lenses 12-14 hours a day, and would probably wear them longer if I didn't know better than to take them off at night!
