[QUOTE="Thump_rrr, post: 15274646, member: 36572"] I have moderate nearsightedness with some astigmatism. The astigmatism has only been present the last 5 years or so. I have been wearing contact lenses for over 30 years now. I have always worn soft contacts and since I cannot fall asleep without watching tv I wear extended wear lenses. I wear air optix Toric extended wear (6 Day) which I replace monthly. These are not cheap but at around $250 per year for 12 pairs beats the crap out of the hassle of glasses and prescription sunglasses. I do not feel them the least bit and have no problem recommending them. I also swim with them on but you cannot dive or you may lose them. If they are available in your prescription most opticians will order samples in 2-3 different brands to see what you prefer. Normally the optometrist will charge a nominal charge for the fitting but no cost for the samples The Air Optix Night and Day and the Bausch+Lomb PureVision are Silicone Hydrogel while other extended wear are gas permeable. I prefer the Silicone Hydrogel for comfort [/QUOTE]
