I have worn Ciba Durasoft 3 colored contacts in Baby Blue for over 10 years and yes of course they have been discontinued!!! I have tried Acuvue, Freshlooks and others and they do not even come close to what the Baby Blue's did to my eyes, they hardly changed my color at all!! I am asking for anyone's help in finding a similar colored contact to the Baby Blues, I LOVED them and feel so lost without them. My eyes are a greenish blue but the Baby Blue's really made my eyes bright and made my smaller eyes look larger. Please anyone that knows of a vial lense or yearly contact lense (I heard vial lenses are the best color wise) let me know the brand! Thank you SO much for any help! Also, my prescription is Base Med, Power -2.50 and Diameter 14.5 in both eyes....

My next stop was the color contact lenses page and I found Acuvue 2 Colors - Opaque. I've never tried them, but here's where you can find Lens 101 member jellymelly14 modeling them for you. What do you think? http://www.lens101.com/acuvue-2-colours-opaques/5520-going-blue-sapphire-blue-acuvue-2-colours-opaques.html |

Waicon Kolor - Celeste (Not Tri-Kolor!) I've had a pair since May 2010 and they are a very sturdy vial lens if you get the regular version and not the thin version. It is a single tone baby-blue lens that rivals DuraSoft 3 Baby Blue. Check this forum or anywhere else on the web to find that guy Daniel G. who sells Waicon lenses to people all over the world (I've always purchased Waicons from him). Or perhaps you can contact Pfortner (in Argentina?) and they may sell direct; I'm not sure. They are pricey but worth it. Good luck!
***Update 1/12/2012*** For anybody who is interested, wrlens.com now sells Waicon Kolor lenses in Baby Blue (Celeste), Gray, and Green. They have some pics and videos too. Last edited by cellardoor; 01-12-2012 at 10:37 PM.. Reason: Some new information |

Before you go to Daniel G, see if you can find anything on Lens.com that interests you. You know better than anyone else what kind of lenses you need (except maybe your eye doctor, who might be a good person to have in on this process). |

How long do those lenses last if you wear them 24/7?
|
|
|||
|
You can't wear them 24/7 you have to take them out to sleep lol
but with daily wear they're supposed to last a year |

Your eyes wouldn't get the oxygen that they need if you wore them overnight, plus you need to disinfect the lenses at night--otherwise you would get an infection |

I found this on a site called coloredcontacts.com:
Dirty and/or dry contact-lenses from not enough blinking causes most wearing problems. Blink more and clean your lenses each time they are removed from your eyes or once a week at least if you sleep in your lenses. It certainly won't do any harm to take your contact lenses out before you go to bed, but I thought there were some kinds that you can sleep in if you want to. |

You are correct, Moneyfornothin. Check into Lens.com and see how many color lenses you find under categories besides "daily disposables."

....there are color lenses available in America but they are not going to be a suitable replacement for Durasofts

Hi,
I am also searching for a replacement to the Durasoft2 baby blue lens. No luck so far. Anyone else have updated information? I have left my opinion with Ciba Vision several times letting them know I wish they would bring back the color even in a monthly or daily lens. |

Okay, sorry. Which Durasoft 2 lenses did you use before? I searched Lens.com and found three Durasoft lenses that had Baby Blue, and all have been discontinued. Durasoft 3 Colors, Durasoft 3 Colors MTO and Durasoft 3 Optifit Toric - Colors. |

Thanks for the comparison pictures, sylvia. |

your welcome---personally I'm not the hugest fans of the Durasoft because the color is a little off--but I like that it's missing the jagged lines and harshness of the Freshlook--I think the Topazio looks the best but Solotica Grafite is the closest dupe for Durasoft Baby Blue as far as I can tell
