Bausch and Lomb Purevision Contact Lenses

Pros: long wearing, able to sleep in, ease of use

Cons: none at this time

Review: I had always wanted contacts but knew I wouldn't be able to wear them. The optometrist had to fight to get drops in my eyes. There was no way I could put contacts in everyday. Then I heard about PureVision contacts. The advertisement stated you...

Pros: 24/7 wear for a week straight!

Cons: none I can think of

Review: when I first tried the new Bausch & Lomb PureVision disposable soft contact lenses I was truly estatic! Finally a lens as comfortable as the Accuvue 2 with the convience of a daily disposable and best of all has FDA certification to be used for 24...

Pros: Great for the first day of wearing.

Cons: After 3 days, dry and irritated eyes, and very blurry vision.

The Bottom Line: Not for me, but it might work for you!

Review: I have worn AcuVue lenses for 7 years, comfortably and successfully. I also wear monovision. (One eye for close-up and one eye for distance.)

During my last eye exam, my eye doctor, recommended that I try, new PureVision. The reason: I am...

Pros: ease to put in, oxygen flow, water content

Cons: PRICE

The Bottom Line: The lenses are worth the extra money you will be paying if you wear your lenses to bed.

Review: The future of contact lenses is here today for a price. Bauch and Lomb introduces Pure Vision contact lenses. What makes them different than other soft contact lenses. In a word oxygen.

The human eye (and other eyes I presume) need oxygen...

Pros: Convenience, constant clear vision

Cons: absolutely none!

Review: I wear PureVision lenses in Australia. Here they are approved for 30 days continuous wear unlike in the US where they are approved for 7 day wear.

I tried them and had to have close examinations of my corneas after overnight wear, 1 week...

Pros: Comfortable, Reduce Fatigue, Continuous use.

Cons: More Expensive.

The Bottom Line: Really convenient, and they reduce overall fatigue on the eye.

I'll just go over some of my own personal experience.

The first thing I noticed when...

Pros: durability

Cons: comfort

The Bottom Line: I'd recommend staying with something else until PureVision lenses are perfected. I didn't like them.

Review: I was originally told by the doctor these would be like "lazer surgery in a box". Of course I was excited...that was until I tried a pair. For the first day or two they were great. You'll find that actually wearing them for 7 days is nearly...

Pros: Wear lenses for 30 days, 24/7, comfortable, great vision

Cons: none to me

The Bottom Line: If you are tired of popping lenses in and out and, like me, do not care to have your eyes cut this is a terrific product.

Review: I have worn contact lenses for over 35 years. This means I started wearing the hard lenses that were thick as coke bottles, and took some people a few weeks to be able to wear them all day. Fortunately science progressed and they were able to...

Pros: allow me safe lens wear after corneal damage

Cons: thick, not super comfy

The Bottom Line: Its worth checking whether a silicone hydrogel lens is good for your situation

Review: After years and years of wearing 1day acuvues (each set was worn for a couple of days as daily-wear, and cleaned with the peroxide type solution- this as approved by my eye care specialist) I had a 2nd corneal ulcer including extra blood vessel...

Pros: Clear vision and after adaptation, really comfortable. Very easy to handle.

Cons: Uncomfortable at first. Rather stiff and thick. Rather expensive.

The Bottom Line: Yes these lenses are thicker and stiffer but once you've got used to them they are really comfortable and for me anyway provide superb vision, both night and day.

Review: After my failed attempt at Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism I thought I'd give these lenses a go - I knew that Silicone Hydrogels would be much healthier for my eyes. Initially I thought they were quite uncomfortable but I've kept going with them(I've...
