ACUVUE Oasys with Hydraclear Plus Review

I remember the first time that I put in a pair of contact lenses.  I had been wearing glasses for awhile and was used to the fact that without them I was pretty much blind, but I was in no way prepared to see the world the way the rest of you see it.  I had no idea that things were so sharp, so focused and bright!  I was accustomed to the periphery being blurry since my world was seen through glasses and when I had the contacts in for the first time, I was blown away by how different everything was.

After that, I wore contact lenses all the time.  I wear my glasses now and then, or when I’m going to bed or that sort of thing, but I don’t like the feel of the glasses sitting on my face.  I prefer the freedom and anonymity of the contact lens – hey, when I’m wearing them you have no idea that I’m on the verge of needing a guide dog without them.

Over the twenty years I’ve been wearing contact lenses, things have changed dramatically and some things have stayed the same.  When I first had them in the late 80’s they were still something of a novelty and the idea of lenses that you put in your eyes to change their color was crazy.  Even cleaning them was different – we had to do this whole scary sounding thing called enzymatic cleaning.  It made it seem as though contact lenses were somehow unhealthy and foreign.  You often had the same pair of contact lenses for months and months on end – now daily disposable lenses are affordable for all.  Today, contact lenses are worn by an estimated 38 million people in the United States alone and the use and care of them is simple and common.

One of the few things that hasn’t changed is industry-leader ACUVUE.  ACUVUE was a premium vision care brand back then and they have remained so by consistently producing high-quality prescription contact lenses.  They continually search for new technologies and ways to improve their products and bring contact lenses to those who haven’t been able to wear them comfortably.

While I’ve certainly worn ACUVUE contact lenses in the past, the ACUVUE Oasys with Hydraclear Plus is a new product for me.  These lenses are particularly helpful for those who experience chronic dry eye conditions and the lenses can come in either two week or six consecutive night disposables.  These ACUVUE Oasys have the best UV protection of any lens on the market while still allowing 98% of available oxygen to get to your eye.

But perhaps the biggest advantage of the ACUVUE Oasys with Hydraclear Plus is the hydraclear itself.  While I’m not someone who has chronically dry eyes, I often find that when I’m tired or reading for awhile, my eyes start to burn and my contact lenses feel dry in my eyes.  When I blink, I can actually feel them in my eyes, which is precisely what you don’t want when wearing contact lenses!  But the ACUVUE Oasys with Hydraclear Plus is great at keeping my eyes dry for the entire time they’re in my eyes.  Even if I fall asleep on the couch for a little while, I don’t wake up and feel like my eyelids are stuck together with my contacts!

So, if you’ve been meaning to try contact lenses for the first time or maybe you’ve tried them in the past and they’ve felt uncomfortable, get to your optometrist and ask for the ACUVUE Oasys with Hydraclear Plus.  You can even get a certificate for a free trial pair at ACUVUE.com!  Your eyes will thank you!
