    I just got contacts for the first time, and my doctor gave me a trial pair of the Acuvue2 lenses. I dont know why I waited so long to get them! They are really comfortable, and I dont even notice that they are in.

    I'm on here trying to find a comfortable brand of lenses, because I've used the Acuvue 2 for the last 2 years and they are VERY uncomfortable, difficult to put in, and easily tear when trying to clean them. First time contact users and those who have not been wearing contacts for many years, beware!
