I just wanted to chime in and exclaim how thrilled I have been with
the optics on the Purevision contact lenses. I started with the
multifocal, and after diagnosing myself as not quite full fledged
presbyopic yet, I insisted my OD put me in the single vision
Purevision torics (which have worked out great). The technology of
these lenses is great, and the vision outstanding. They have the
optics I was hoping for in soft contacts. Crisp and clear, they give
me 20/20 vision, I can see for half a mile in the distance, and wear
them for 16+ hours (or even sleep in them) with no major drying
issues. I am thrilled. I really do buy into Bausch & Lomb's "wavefront
inspired" technology--these are great optics for soft lenses in any
light source--night or day or artificial.
However my goal was always the best optics possible, short of moving
into RGP's, and I have to admit that the Purevision lenses, with their
thicker silicone hydrogel construction, may not be comfortable for
sensitive wearers (particularly the toric version). I have gotten use
to them in a day or two, and though I am more "aware" of them in my
eye than thinner soft contacts (ProClear for instance), I would not
call them uncomfortable, and I consider it a small price to pay for
such phenomenal optics in a soft contact lens.
But those looking for instantaneous "can't even feel it" comfort,
Purevision may not be the answer.
