1 Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism reviews
-
Nina- 28 Apr 2021VerifiedUse these regularly, great for UV sun blocking and don''t dry out quickly like many others

Christiane Dyer- 22 Apr 2021VerifiedFirst time user, and after a lot of trial packets from various opticians and the web, I found these specifically for astigmatism the best of the lot. I do feel slightly as if I can see the very outer rim of each lense, but they are comfortable and the longer i wear them the least they boher me. Wind makes my eyes a bit watery and I find I have to blink quite a lot, but I guess that would happen with any lense? Indoors they are better and I am quite happy with them. I shall persevere :-)
