Two new contacts were recently launched in the US. Vistakon's Acuvue Advance Plus (spherical) and Bausch and Lomb's Purevision 2 HD.
I have yet to get my hands on the Acuvue Advance Plus, but it is recieving some positive reviews. It is going to be positioned as Acuvue's Mid level lens. Those of you that wear an Oasys contact will want to stay with an Oasys.
Bausch and Lomb is officially launching it Purevision 2 HD contact lens and the beginning of next year, but it is available at some offices already. It is a really nice lens that has reworked optics (hence the "HD") and is probably the clearest contact that I have ever personally worn. Big surprise as this is my profession, I have worn a lot of different types of lenses over the years. The redesigned lens is still easy to handle and, for me at least, is better at retaining moisture throughout the entire day. I am excited to fit patients with this lens and get feed back from them.
