Default Why doesn't acuvue has power like 6.25?

Just had my eye check and my prescription went up to -6.00 and -6.25. However, Acuvue does not have -6.25. The doc said I can use -6.50, but I feel bad about going there.

Then, I went to focus day n night aqua since they have the exact power, but it is not good, I started having dry eyes and double vision.

What to do?

Why do you feel bad about using -6.5? Apparently Focus Night & Day Aqua did not give you satisfactory performance in -6.25, so it seems to me that the next logical step would be to get some Acuvue Oasys lenses in -6.5.

Maybe you should give the Focus Night & Day Aqua lenses a little more time. Sometimes they don't settle in right away, but once you've worn them for a while, they feel great.

How about a week to ten days? If you don't wear your contact lenses at night, maybe you can see how they feel after you wear them ten times. Do you think you can do that, or does ten times sound like torture to you?
