Does anyone know the new power range for acuvue advanced lenses. i haven;t got the new ACLM book and am not at work to check!!!! I think it now goes up to -8.00 or -10.00DS

Please Help.

soz- need same info for Oasys

New acuvue advanced range is at least up to -10. I have them in that power. But they may poss go up higher to -12, but not sure.

-12.00 to +8.00.The highest available plus powered lens in a silicone hydrogel material.

+8 to -12

tnx for that but are you talking about advanced or oasys as i wanted info for both!!!!

thankx again

Oasys is currently only available -0.50 to -6.00.

many thankx guys

i would stick to an longtime establish lens, peronally use proclears alot, very versitile

proclear is ok but it has a tendency to tear quite easily, put a proclear in one eye and an 02 optix/acuvue oasys in the other,i think you will find the silicon hydrogel will win hands down, the proclear will dissapear when coopervision get a good silicon hydrogel.

sorry icon, i disagree, in my experiance especially with acuve advance, when i have tried changing Px from proclear to Acuvue advance, there dont seem to be an excellent response. Px have complained more irritation, lens awarenes towards early second week wear. 02 optix has a better response. Proclear still has set a standerd in terms of comfort and deposits resistant

disagree about the proclear failing cf O2optixetc. Have had peeps preferring over both of these. Oasis being a 14mm can be a bit small on some eyes hence proclear may be preferred. handling can be an initial issue but invariably resolves.

i am not a huge fan of advance, but i think oasys is superb, re handling : I still think that proclear tears easily,

I think we will have to agree to disagree on this one :)

aye
