Trusted contact lens brands recommendations?

[EdwinSimpson]

Hello fellow members!

I’m nearsighted but my face does not look nice with glasses on. So, I’m looking for a few recommendations on good contact lens brands. What do you have in mind?

I hate to break it to you Eddy, but if you’re fugly with glasses on, you’re fugly with them off too.

Your eye doctor would be the one to consult with. There are four major soft lens contact lens suppliers (Alcon, Bausch & Lomb, Cooper, and Vistakon). Each has multiple types of contact lens design and materials. Your OD will discuss your daily activities and options and provide you with a lens that fits you and your needs best. There is no magical "best" contact lens. Most soft lens designs now are silicone hydrogels that have a higher oxygen transmission that are healthier for your eyes, also a few hybrid water gradient lenses too.

You guys are mean. Making fun of a guy just trying to order CL's online, and screw his OD out of the fitting fee.
