Hi everyone. New here. I've been wearing Oasys for a few years now, but in the past 6 months or so they're becoming virtually unwearable. Even if it's a new pair, the next day they are totally dry and sticky- without having slept in them. They stick to my upper eyelids and don't stay in the middle of my eyes. I'm worried because I know this is supposedly one of the best brands on the market.

Does anyone know of any alternatives that would be good for someone who cannot wear Oasys? I've tried the hydrogen peroxide disc-cup cleaning system, and the regular saline rub-rinse-store system, to no avail. Gah.

Well, I'd say your best option is to talk to your doctor and see what they suggest.

I have my up's and down's with these lenses. I do have the odd pair that will last 3 weeks without any issues and then I will have a pair that feels dirty and sticky after 2-3 days. I know exactly what you are talking about.

I soak my lenses overnight always. But sometimes I find that they are still horribly dirty after 10 hours of soaking.

I have also had issues with blurry vision from time to time. Almost as if they aren't centred properly.

I will give it another pair or two before I run to the doctor with complaints though, I still have 3 boxes of each eye left.

I am new to wearing contacts and this is the brand my doctor ordered for me. I have had good luck with them so far. The doctor told me to make sure that I always put solution on them before putting in my eyes or they can goo up.

Have you seen your doctor to have your eyes examined? If you've been wearing them for years and now you're having problems, maybe you've got an infection or something. You may want to have an examination and at least rule that out. Good luck.
