The main disadvantage of common Ciba Vision lenses

In 2008, one of my friends working in optical zone mentioned to me, she said the common Ciba Vision lenses are more difficult to remove than competitive brands.

I tried, I think what she said is true.

Exactly, it should be said, it is difficult to remove when your fingers are damp.

I've been wearing contact for over 10 years, experienced, but if your fingers are damp, it is difficult to remove the CB lens by your first and index finger.

When you have much tear in your eyes, it is difficult to remove, too.

I've found this problem exists in Optix family, Focus N & D and Focus Dalies family. I've never tried other CB lenses, so I don't konw if the others also have the same disadvantage.

I've also tried most Acuvue and Bausch & Lomb lenses, never found the same disadvantage.

Is there anyone who agrees with me?

Have you found a way to make it easier to take those contact lenses out? Is it a lot better with dry fingers?

Wow. How did you get to try so many different brands of contact lenses?
