I had the two-week (Accuvue I think?) ones and usually kept them longer. I just switched to monthly ones.

I'm ok with them, but yes after about 3 weeks they start to feel 'different'.

I liked the two-week ones. At least if they started getting build up or ripped that I wasn't throwing away money, as I'd keep the next pair 3 weeks instead.

These, I had to throw one pair out after 2 weeks. Felt like I was throwing money away.

mine are acuvue oasys. I actually use them for 14 wears instead of 14 days, as I usually give my eyes a break on sundays. - b. Jul 15, 14:50 4
- If you're feeling uncomfortable with them, have them give you something different. I just switched to a different brand for the montly ones. - JaxSean Jul 15, 14:59 3
  - my doctor said there's nothing that will be better for me; and, since she's the second one to say so, I think it's probably true. - b. Jul 15, 15:04 2
