Darren Balsdon- 07 Dec 2019VerifiedWhen production of Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism ceased around 6 years ago, I tried many alternatives and could not tolerate them. I stocked up on the Acuvue product and continued trying other lenses, with my stocks dwindling as the years passed. Eventually I have found Avaira Vitality Toric and my eyes are very happy with them! Relieved and overjoyed to find this excellent product.
