I tried literally 7 different pairs before this, and they work well for me. They are very affordable too. However, if the ones you have tried work great for you, maybe just stick with them and splurge so you are comfortable. Could you do maybe glasses at times too, to save you some money? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contacts#post-483419 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 23:52:50 +0000 lemondrop 483419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is totally @PrincessBaby: 's area of expertise if she's around here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contacts#post-483112 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 18:54:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 483112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice, except that I personally paid whatever the most comfortable ones cost. Something that is in your eyes for so long every day should fit well and you could really be damaging your cornea/eyes. I had a similar situation where I had an entire year's supply of a type that irritated my eyes to know end. I ended up having to buy a new supply, but the eye doctor said the irritation was bad and that it could thin my cornea to the point that I wouldn't be able to get LASIK. So, I paid for the new ones and got LASIK a few years later-- best decision ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contacts#post-483102 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 18:47:31 +0000 wheres_c 483102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have super sensitive eyes and i use air optix. They are available for those with astigmatism. They arent the cheapest but i dont get any irritation at all. I sleep with them in quite a bit.<br /> The only other brand ive been ok with is oasys.</p> <p>I get them wherever since my insurance covers it but when i used to pay out of pocket, walmart and 1800 contacts were cheapest. Heard good things about costco too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contacts#post-483096 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 18:43:58 +0000 Charm54 483096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get my contacts from Clearlycontacts.com and it was much cheaper - it's a Canadian company so not sure if they ship to the states. My eyes are crazy sensitive to contacts and I have astigmatism too so I wish I would have heard of that brand last year!</p> <p>I ended up getting LASIK this summer and it was one of the best decisions ever - worth saving your pennies for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contacts#post-483086 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 18:37:14 +0000 pinkcupcake 483086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(Not sure if this is the right category so pls feel free to move it!)</p> <p>My eyes are really sensitive and the contacts I've been wearing for the past couple yrs (monthly torics) are really irritating. I just got some daily Acuvue Moist samples and they are so comfy! I barely feel them. They're crazy expensive though so I'd like to stick with monthlies if I could. Any suggestions? I have astigmatism which limits the types of contacts I can wear. Or any suggestions of where I can buy contacts for cheap? </p>
