I hate this new eye doctor. A new new one is definitely going to be in order here very soon.

At my recent eye exam my prescription went up by .50, and I've never had it go up more than .25 at a time. But he said that's what it was and okay, it'd been more than two years since my last exam so I figured it would be okay.

Wrong. New contacts felt awful and I couldn't focus. Sucky.

So I emailed him and he said to come in and try the number in between. Got a sample and tried them.

Ow.

Anyone else ever use Acuvue Oasys contact lenses? These are supposed to be new and awesome and all that, but they HURT. I've been getting such headaches with them in, and Googling makes me worry b/c there are some pretty awful reviews from some contact wearers out there. Correlations between this type of lens and all sorts of corneal damage and crap. I think I'm going to have to exchange them for my old plain Acuvue type (which, annoyingly enough, my new eye doctor doesn't even carry b/c they're "old"). Argh. At least lens.com takes exchanges for unopened boxes.

Ow. :(

I already have corneal damage but I can wear Acuvue Advance without any problems, so thumbs up for that line.

Hm, haven't tried Advance. It seems to come in the base curve of 8.3 as well. That small 0.1 change seems small but I'd want to try out a pair before buying a bunch, I think.
