Is there a transition period?

I'm looking at trying the Hydro 02 lens. I used to wear gas perms and recall there was a transition period where you have to work up to wearing them all day long. Is that the case with these? I have severe astigmatism and have been wearing a very expensive toric lens. I have never been able to wear the gas perms for comfort reasons & am hoping hydro 02 may be the solution I'm looking for.

Hi Volmom, welcome to Lens 101.

If you haven't spotted it already, there's a review right here in this category of Hydro 02 contact lenses. At least one person wrote a review who thinks that these are comfortable contact lenses. Still, I would expect a "breaking in" period for just about any contact lenses you try.

Good luck!
