Do you mean environmental allergies; pollen, etc.? I have some allergies to oak pollen if the count is really high, but otherwise, I don't seem to have any.
I was given Soflens Aspheric dailies as a trial since it seemed that I could no longer wear Acuvue Oasys (red eyes, conjunctivitis type effect--an allergy? don't really know). However, the dailies were suggested b/c they had a good discount, and my ophthalmologist prefers dailies, period. However, my eyes were too dry with them. And I was very disappointed since I could see really great with them. He then tried Proclear and Clearview dailies but those didn't work out either. Acuvue Moist dailies is what I settled on and though they seem the best so far as far as wearability, I'll see how it goes long term. Don't see as crisp-clear with them as I did the Soflens but I have mild astigmatism and the aspheric aspect of the Soflens was great for me vision-wise. I read that the Acuvue Moist is good for people with allergies. Not sure if it truly is, but they have worked out the best for me so far. Hope this helps. It's just my own opinion of course, and it seems that each person has their own unique situation oftentimes.

Hi SueLynn. Thanks for sharing your opinion with us.

You say you don't see as well 1-Day Acuvue Moist as you did with Soflens (Was that Soflens Daily Disposable?), but the Soflens were dry and uncomfortable. So are you willing to sacrifice clarity for comfort, or are you thinking of going back to the Soflens because the clarity?

Yes, it was the Soflens Daily Disposable. And yes, sacrificing clarity for comfort. If it looks like I can wear contacts again daily without my eyes getting red and irritated over the next few months (with the Acuvue Moist), I think I might like to try the Soflens again. I just have to see how things go.
