CIBA Vision Focus Monthly Contact Lenses

Pros: Comfortable. Tint. Last longer than a month. You don't have to worry.
Cons: A tad expensive. For some people, contacts will always suck.

I'll let y'all in on a little secret- MF is blind as a bat. It all started in grade 5, where a fairly traumatic experience finally caused me to get glasses for the first time.

See, in grade 5, I was what many call a sh*t disturber. Constantly...

Pros: Value for money if used wisely
Cons: If not rinsed well or left in too long can cause discomfort

Being a short-sighted Myopia sufferer contact lenses seemed like an obvious alternative to spectacles what with constantly losing or breaking them. Contact lenses eradicated this problem! Focus monthly's were the first brand of lenses I ever tried...not ...

Pros: Last longer, less expensive than most
Cons: None

I’ve been wearing contact lenses for nineteen years, if you can believe that! I got my first pair at thirteen years old. Over the years, I’ve tried probably a dozen different brands. Back in the old days, I had to take them out daily, boil them in...

Pros: Comfortable, durable, and last longer than 1 month under most circumstances
Cons: Vision sometimes clouds during later portion of wearing period

I've worn contact lenses for the past seven years, and for each and every one of them, I've used CIBA's Focus Monthly lenses. Although I may not have experience with comparable products from different manufacturers, I feel that I know these particular ...

Pros: Tinted light blue, will last longer than a month if cleaned properly.
Cons: None

I have been wearing contacts for 25 years. There are many different brands I have used. I started using these monthly lenses about 3 years ago. I have a lot of problems with my eyes drying out because I take thyroid medicine and that can cause eye...

Pros: Usually easy to put in, for the most part, very durable, last longer than a month
Cons: Ripping/tearing problem, hard to find once dropped

I started wearing contacts when I was 13 years old. I wore the type of soft lenses that have to be cleaned, rinsed, and stored overnight. I used to use a brand (the name is escaping me now, it may have still been Ciba Vision Focus) that came with 3...

Pros: comfortable, clear, easy to use
Cons: occasional rips/tears

I’ve been a contact lens-wearer for about a decade now. In my time, I’ve tried a variety of brands and styles including the Little Spheres of Corneal Death (aka hard lenses), the Why Is It Always Foggy "permanent" soft lenses, the Weaker than...

Pros: disposable, thicker/stronger, very comfortable, very affordable
Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!

Before I began to write my opinion on this, I read the only other opinion posted here, written by tiasmom. I had to laugh at myself because our stories are so similar. I too, have been wearing contacts since I was 13 (however, that's a few more than 17...

Pros: Comfy, inexpensive.
Cons: Easy to rip.

If my contacts could talk, the things they would say... It is true; they have been though much more than I care to admit. To drive this point home, I will offer a single experience.

Last summer I was enjoying a party at my best friend's...

Pros: Long Comfortable Wear
Cons: Can be torn easily if not handled properly

Having been a soft contact lens wearer for 22 years, I've been through my share of lens types and manufacturers. I never thought much about the differences until I went to work for an optometrist and became a contact lens dispensing technician.

...

Pros: works great
Cons: can be dry

I have been wearing Ciba Vision Focus Lenses for almost five years. I got my first pair of contact lenses when I was 20 years old. It took me a bit to get contacts because I had this huge aversion to sticking foreign objects in my eyes. I have worn...

Cons: no UV protection

I had been wearing the 2-week disposable colored lenses for about 7 months or so and the year-round ...

I use soft lenses since I was in my third year of high school (1998) during those years I recall I didn’t have any problem with any contact lenses (at least I’m wearing one), I feel free (because I used to wearing glasses, and I have -6 at my left eye ...

Pros: You can see any time of night.
Cons: Initial getting use to thickness

By the time the kids are in bed and I have had a long 17 or 18 hour day....I do not feel like going in to change my contacts and cleaning them up. When I first discovered these contacts I thought WOW!! No need for that expensive eye surgery anymore. I...

Pros: easy to handle
Cons: none

In three years of wearing soft contact lenses, these are the best yet. Monthly lenses are clearly superior to the old ones you'd wear for a year based on a) the benefit of getting a clean lens periodically, and b) a lost lens won't cost you an arm and a...
