Is there anyone reading this that has tested better than 20/20 while wearing Hydro 02 contacts?

Little Elvis,

I have been wearing Hydro 02 lenses for 3 years now. My vision with these lenses since I started wearing them has been 20/10 to 20/15. So yes It's possible to have better vision with GasPerm lenses. Not only with Hydro 02, (I love the Hydro 02's more than the other brands and it's the only one I wear now.), but Boston, Paraperm02, etc...

RGP lenses for me have always given me better vision. With softlenses even the Night and Day Silicone Hydrogel lenses the, best I can achieve is 20/25. But with the same prescription in a RGP lens I get 20/15 or 20/10 vision.

Even though I am wearing Multi-Focal lenses now, made from Hydro 02 materials still, I have 20/10 distance and 20/15 near vision.

I hope this answered your question.

Regards,
Tom

Wow, thanks for that testimonial. It must be great to be able to see so well. Do you have trouble sleeping because you can see through your eyelids?
