See biofinity did not work for me. They were too thin and i could not get them out. If you have astigmatism the airoptics are the best bet for movement cause they have 2 weights on them near the bottom to keep them from spinning. Astigmatic lenses have 4 different prescriptions on them so IF they spin it sucks and every blink is a quick blur. The air optics work for me fir my situation. Get the monthly ones. My wife gets 3 months out of hers at a time!

Glad you got a brand that fit you. Took me 5 different brands.

My dr suggests against them. The longer you leave them in, the more susceptible you are to eye infections. I have bad eye allergies (actually on prescription eye drops) so I am more prone to develop an eye infection by leaving them in for an extended period of time.
I mentioned to her that your wife does that and she just rolled her eyes.

Guys, I had an ulcer in my eye from leaving my contacts in. Trust me, you do not want to experience it. It was so painful I had to cover my eye to go anywhere even somewhat lighted...laid out of school and work for a week. If you can, take them out every night....I don't care what they say you can do. It was wayyy worse than having my eyes UV burned by microbiological sterilizers when I was a dumbazz and was working on one without protection.

Think about it.....say a bacteria gets under your contact...its moist, with little airflow, and the perfect incubation temperature.
