I used to use Acuvue 2 biweekly contacts. I wear on average about 4-5 days per week, morning till late afternoon. In the beginning it was all good, much more comfortable than B&L which I used to use when I first started. Then after a few weeks, my eyes get dry very fast and the contacts get very uncomfortable. So now I switch to Acuvue Oasys, which was also so very awesome and comfortable (like wearing nothing) for the first few weeks of wearing. But now even with a newly opened pair of contacts on the first day, I find my eyes uncomfortable even after 2 hours of wearing contacts. Its really frustrating and nowadays I rather wear specs than contacts already.  Does this mean I have dry eyes? Or should I change to other contacts? Or its the contacts solution? I use B&L Renu Fresh solution. What other ways to overcome this problem?

I'll go check with an optometrist. Last time I used to wear those Korean colour contact lens bought online, for long hours as well. That was about 3 years ago. Then one day my eyes felt like there was something inside even when I was not wearing any contacts. So I did went to check with an optometrist and she say under my eyelid got like bumps so have to stay off contacts a while and I was given eyedrops and some gel to put under the eyelid as well. From then on I've never use any colour contacts anymore and stop wearing contacts for about half a year. But now still like this.

I went to see doctor about 3 years ago, then after that stop wearing lens for 6 months. After that I started wearing lens again but mainly for short period (around 5 hours max) and have been more aware of taking good care of lens and eyes. But have still been feeling uncomfortable for very long already, that's why I have tried many types of lens and also contact lens solution until now. Nowadays I hardly wear lens already, only on special occasions like formal dinner only wear. Other than that all wear specs, but whenever I wear lens also will feel uncomfortable even if its for an hour.

I can't remember the exact name of it but I know I've tried two types of B&L lens. Then after that change to Acuvue monthly lens, more comfortable than B&L but still uncomfortable sometimes. After that see doctor then I changed to Acuvue 2 lens which was much more comfortable in the beginning but after a while also not very comfortable. Latest one used was Acuvue Oasys which I would say is the best among all the other lens that I've used in the past. When I first wore it, it was like completely not wearing lens at all, don't feel anything at all. Of course price also more expensive compared to the rest. As for solution, I find solocare aqua better. Is there a difference? Cause I see normally Guardian/Watsons also sell them almost same price.
