O2 Optics are great
I have worn contact lenses for over 20 years. I recently switched from rigid gas permeable and these are so much better. The only drawback is my vision isn't as crystal clear in one eye. The company is having supply problems unfortunately. I may have to try something else.

Much prefer O2Optix over Oasys lenses.
I have been a contact lens wearer for about 25 years. Even though I have worn 2-week disposable contacts for about the last 10 years, I still remove and clean them every night due to minor problems with eye allergies. After being diagnosed with blood vessels creaping into my pupil area several years ago, my eye doctor told me that I needed more oxygen to my eyes. At that time the only option was to let my eyes breathe more by wearing my glasses instead of contacts one day per week. A couple years ago, my eye doctor recommended that I try Oaysis lenses because they allowed my oxygen to my eyes and that if they worked out, I could go back to wearing my contacts 7 days a week. I was anxious to try a sample pair. Immediately I notice some minor changes in minor changes in my vision... things seemed brighter but it wasn't anything annoying. They also felt quite comfortable. After a few days though they started to become more uncomfortable. By the end of the two week trial, I couldn't stand them anymore and felt so relieved to get my original contacts back in my eyes. A couple months ago, my eye doctor suggested that I try O2Optix from Ciba to help get more oxygen to my eyes. I asked him how they were different than the Oasys contacts that I had unsuccessfully tried in the past. He said that although they use the same high-oxygen permeable silicone compound, they have a different surface coating that may suit my eyes better. According to Ciba, this coating is supposed to reduce protein and lipid buildup on the lenses. I tried the trial sample and found that they were very comfortable throughout the duration of my wear period. I actually wore them for a full month before I decided that they were right for me and ordered a 6-month supply. I still have a couple of pair of my original contact lenses that I need to use up before making the permanent switch to the O2Optics. I can hardly wait to get back to wearing contacts 7-days a week again!

I love these lenses. I've had Acuvue before and they constantly felt like I had something in my eye. With the O2 Optix I forget I have lenses in sometimes they are so comfortable.

Great lenses!
My doctor is probably a bit more extreme than many and told me that I can wear these lenses for a week, as long as I clean them well when I do take them out. I've been wearing them in this way for almost 4 years now and I love them! I couldn't go back to daily lenses and I've recommended them to all of my 'contact' friends.
