Question about contact lens size & alternative to Focus Dailies

    I've been using Focus Dailies contact lenses for the past few years and I am looking to try something different, is there a better alternative daily disposable?

    I rarely wear my contacts now but sometimes I find if I put in contacts in the morning after 8 or so hours the lens become a little bit uncomfortable and I am more aware of the lens on my eye intermittently over a 90 minute period, then it feels fine for the rest of the night. Is this a common problem with lenses or just me?

    Regarding sizes after the optician tested my eyes he recommended Focus Dailies, they have a base curve of 8.6 and a diameter of 13.8 but most other daily disposables come in bigger sizes, an example being Clearsight 1-Day with a base curve of 8.7 and a diameter of 14.2. Would I even notice the difference in size or should I stick exactly with lenses that have a BC of 8.6 and diameter of 13.8?

    if you want to change over, maybe try elite dailies. they are 8.7 in the bc.
    they are better than the normal focus dailies. but again everyones different. whats better for one could be bad for you. go to your opts and say ya wanna switch lenses.
