I'm using Bausch & Lomb SoftLens (for astigmatism) and they really, really SUCK! My eyes get dry and feel tired very quickly, and i constantly have to blink to keep in focus. Grr! What should i switch to? I want the BEST lenses; i don't care how much they cost!

You been MIA! Good to hear from you again, lol

i have similar problems... i think the best way to go if money is no cost is one day disposables, i used them while on holiday in europe and they were no problem at all...

now i have monthlys and that happens to me frequnetly when inside and looking at computers...

i have focus dailys, they start drying up after about 8hrs wear but i use drops sometimes to get rid of the discomfort. they don't really recommend having them in 10+ hrs, but its doable with drops and i've had them in for way longer than 24hrs on some occasions.

never had this 'blink to keep focus' problem before, except for the first day or two when i started wearing them. that would be a good reason to look into switching brands.

use disposable ones from baush and lomb called soft lens, after each month you can throw them away i use them , actually since 8 yrs or more. when your eyes feel dry and tired dont use them too long, you need more moisture in your eyes, so i suggest removing them for maybe a hr or so.

disposables come in 12 months pack so you can use 1 for each month.

i think your cute with or without.

so long as u keep ur good bits around, we're happy!

EDIT:

On topic, ive been getting more and more annoyed w/ my contacts of late. i think its time to switch... maybe ill do w/o the coloured, so i have more options available to me.

wearing glassses 24/7 simply isnt an option i want to entertain.

talk to a reputable, knowledgable doctor/retailer.

AFAIK, there are only a handful (if that) major lens manufacturers in the first place, who supply most of the "brands" with their lenses.

So in thinking that you are trying "different" ones may result in getting pretty much the same lens you have now.
