If someone has a prescription of plus or minus 20, can they still wear a daily contact lens like 1 Day Acuvue Colours?

The Acuvue brand is among the world's most popular makers of disposable contact lenses. Their lenses include Acuvue 2, Acuvue 2 Colors, Acuvue Advance, and Acuvue Oasys, all designed to be replaced every two weeks. Other lines are 1-Day Acuvue Moist, Acuvue Bifocal and Acuvue Toric, which are all made with the plastic polymer etafilcon A.

Increased use of smaller, convenient work and recreational devices such as Personal Digital Assistants, laptops and cell phones used for text messaging and Web access may be contributing factors to the visual fatigue and discomfort experienced by millions, according to leading experts. Staring at a computer monitor or the small screens on most of these gadgets can bring about a range of disorders, including headaches, eyestrain, blurred vision, dry and irritated eyes, neck and/or backache and sensitivity to light.

1 Day Acuvue Colours is a hard lens to find. I did some browsing but I couldn't find any websites that give the available powers. The closest thing I was able to find was 1-Day Acuvue, no colours. Their contact lenses only range from -12 to +6.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

That's a very informative post, skumar, but I think you read the title of my question and saw "Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Acuvue Blah."

I can second Enah's conclusion. I tried to find 1 Day Acuvue Colors, but all I saw was 1-Day Acuvue and 1-Day Acuvue Moist in powers ranging from -12 to +6 for both lenses.
