ACUVUE Contact Lenses Review & Giveaway (Ends 12/26)

Since I was in 7th grade I has been wearing glasses for reading and then I was told I had to wear them to drive.  I can function without them, but everything is much crisper and cleaner with them on.  Now my eyes are not really sensitive nor do I have a problem touching them, but I always figured my eyesight was not bad enough to warrant contact lenses.  I always thought contact lenses were for people with really bad eyes. 

Soon as I hit 25 years old, I started wearing my glasses permanently.  I didn’t mind it until my son started yanking them off my face and bending them out of control.  So last year I finally gave in and went and got contacts.  Since I have an astigmatism, the doctor recommended ACUVUE OASYS Brand for Astigmatism.  I love them!  Now I am bias and don’t have anything to compare them too, but they really are perfect.  They are also great if you currently expierence discomfort, blurred or fluctuating vision with your current lenses. 

ACUVUE OASYS lenses use their revolutionary Accelerated Stabilization and the comfort of HYDRACLEAR Plus to form a lens like no other.  Accelerated Stabilization Design (ASD) uses the power of every blink to help keep your vision crisp, clear, and stable all day long, even if you lead an active lifestyle.  It basically keeps your lenses where they should be.

HYDRACLEAR Plus technology makes the contacts ultra-smooth and more wettable, which is especially great for dryness that occurs when working at a computer for a long time or traveling on an airplane.  Oh and they block at least 96% of the UV-A radiation and 100% of the UV-B radiation from the sun. 

I recently received a box of ACUVUE OASYS for Astigmatism and as expected, I love them.  I have no problems once they are in and I honestly can’t believed I waited so long to get them!  I have been told they are thinner than other contacts so you do have to be careful, but I have not had any problems.  I wear them for 2 weeks and then pop in a new pair. 

Other than the pair I tried for astigmatism, ACUVUE offers contacts for people who are nearsighted and farsighted also.  My doctor gave me a free trial pair to test them out for a week and I am sure all eye care professionals will do the same thing.  Also, if you buy a box and you are not satisfied, ACUVUE offers a Money Back Guarantee, so you really have nothing to loose!

Rebates are also available through ACUVUE depending on the type and quantities you buy, which can make the price per box even cheaper!  The rebates range from $20-$60.  ACUVUE is also offering new lens wearers a $100 mail-in-rebate with a recent eye exam and the purchase of 8 boxes of ACUVUE OASYS Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR Plus.  (Not available for ACUVUE OASYS Brand for ASTIGMATISM or ACUVUE® OASYS™ Brand for PRESBYOPIA.).  More info on this offer is available here.

ACUVUE also offers ACUVUE Direct which is a new service available through your eye care professional.  It lets contact lens wearers spread their purchase of an annual supply of ACUVUE Brand Contact Lenses out over four equal payments during the year while still being able to take advantage of cost-saving rebates.  Every three months, participants receive a fresh supply of contact lenses and a new contact lens case.
