Thanks michelle that sounds good , are they very soft? I am looking for medium soft lenses ...

Infact I am keen to know what type of lenses are good and comfy to wear ... the extra soft ones or medium soft ones?

I have a fear of using the soft ones , what if they run about in the eye

I use the ciba vision aqua comfort dailies.... LOVE them. Almost close to wearing nothing.. not sure if they come in colored varieties.... :S But yeah, that's the best brand of contacts imo. And Ive been wearing contacts for years n yearssssss n ive tried several brands. This one ruless

The first contacts i bought were from Fresh Look and after a few years when i went back to buy another pair, the store owner told me fresh look lenses were breaking apart in the eye and so were not advisable. So i bought Viva instead.

Freshlook, AV 2 and Ciba all carry colored contacts. I think Freshlooks are more popular as they have more variety. Ciba and AV2 colors have a very selected range of colors. Comfort wise, they are pretty much made from the same material and it really depends on your comfort level but i have seen younger generation opt for FL and the older gen opt for Ciba. Hope that helps

Bhenjee , you were the supersoft ones? do they not have the risk of floating about in the deeper eye? ... also , the dailies tht you mentioned , so its that disposable one right, that you wear for a day and discard ... how much does that cost in lahore? isnt tht really expensive?

Thanks Slackira .... my first ever lenses were from freshlook... they were good ... how long do you normally use one pair before discarding them?

They were a 6 months disposable pair but i used them for an year. Because i wore them occasionally i had no problems wearing them an extra six months.
