Do you, or have you ever worn Proclear Compatibles contact lenses? Do you want to tell us about it? Make your mark on Lens 101 with a short story about what it's like to be you wearing these contacts. Inquiring minds want to know!

These lenses are extremely comfortable but I wish they came in tints. The visi tint can't be seen by my bad eyes!

I have dry eyes and I find them quite comfortable, even in hot, dry, windy environments and when I'm working out and getting sweat in my eyes. I can wear them for about 12 hours with ease, and can stretch it out to 14 hours if I have to, but the last couple hours aren't great. No redness, just variable vision when my eyes and the lenses dry out beyond redemption. They are easy to care for...just a multi-purpose soak, no rubbing.

I wish I could wear gas perms because I think they corrected my vision better, but they were so uncomfortable for me and I could not get used to them. I wore my Proclears for 10 hours straight from the first day with no problems. My only problem was getting them out...the left one kept getting stuck. The gas perms just popped right out for me. Once I started using my left hand for removing my left lens, that problem stopped. Weird.

that is the problem i am having now is getting a very good fit so they are not so uncomfortable and finding a dr in my area that is experienced enough at it also i have been trying to find out more about the onsi-56 gas perms they are supposedly a rigid gas perm silicone Hydrogel ,,it's firm like a hard lens but wetting is like a soft lens i guess and i hear they are great for dry eyes

Hi Stephanie, thanks for answering my question. I'm glad you find them so comfortable, but I'm afraid I just don't follow your "bad eyes" comment. Why can't the Visitints be seen in your "bad eyes"?

Why do I get the feeling that everyone else understands exactly what you mean and I'm just that slow?

I'm wondering if she means the handling tint? Mine is so faint that I have to put my glasses on while handling them because they are virtually clear to my bad eyes, too

I can't even tell when they are in my white contact case.

That's probably true Gal, that makes a lot of sense. If you need vision correction, it would be tough to see your contacts unless that had a good visibility tint. We'll just have to wait for Stephanie to come back and tell us.

Hear that Stephanie?
