What are the Best Contact Lenses ?
Email This Post
In response to a slurry of summer emails we’ve gotten from our wonderful customers, clecontactlenses.com would like to ask the you a question: What are the best contact lenses on the market and why ?
While offer every major brand, we are always curious to hear what the public has to say so from time to time we take their pulse.
To start the “debate” I’d like to throw out a few statistics…
1) More than 80 million people currently wear contact lenses worldwide.
2) More than 74% of those contact lens wearers are between the ages of 18 & 48.
3) The contact lens was originally envisioned by Leonardo DaVinci and the idea of the corneal contact lens was further developed by Rene Descartes. Thomas Young used Descartes ideas to later develop the contact lens.
4) The average price of contact lenses online is 43% less than those found at your eye care professional and some “retail” outlets.
While it is not for us to say what the best contact lenses on the market are, we are comfortable saying that some of our top selling brands include the Acuvue brand from Johnson & Johnson, Frequency brand and Proclear brands from Coopervision as well as Boston EO, Focus Dailies and Air Optix are also very popular brands.
In the summer months our contact lenses with built in UV protection like the Acuvue Moist brand contacts seem to sell a bit better than in the colder months.
Our most popular solutions are the Boston Advanced, Boston Simplus and Boston Original brands as well as OxySept and Menicare CDS for rigid, gas permeable lenses.
So, jump in and let us know your thoughts. In your opinion, what are the best contact lenses ?

My particular favorites are the acuvue moist brand. I dont use solutions.
I have gas permeable, rigid lenses and use Menicare solutions. Of the solutions I’ve used I find it the most effective in cleaning my lenses.
I Use Cooper Vertex and I am happy, i will put my vote in for these as the best contact lenses.
Is Descartes the guy that came up with “I think therefore I am” ? He also contributed towards inventing contact lenses as well!
I use Acuvue Oasys and I love them.
Love the lens and they have a pretty cool looking box too!
Acuvue Advance the most comfortable lens I ever had. Nuff said.
I wear Bifocal contact lenses. I have tried pretty much much every brand out there. I prefer the Frequency 55 Multifocal.
My wife uses Acuvue most of the time but has been searching for a solution for some time. Suggestions anyone?
I wear the contacts that the Dr. prescribed so I can’t comment on which are best but I can say I’ve used a variety of contact lens solutions and I find the Boston products and in particular Boston Advanced to be the best solutions for me.
How can someone compare lenses ? I’d love to see a way to buy 2 lenses and compare them and send back the one’s I don’t want. Like Zappos does w/ shoes.
Post # 8, for the acuvue soft lenses I can suggest Complete Blink and Clean or Renu rewetting drops. Both are excellent choices but I prefer the Complete Blink and Clean.
I am a Menicare user and wouldn’t recomend it. I’m not too happy with it. I guess not unhappy enough to switch though. Any suggestions ?
Id def agree w acuvue moist in the summer months. I have chronically dry eyes and these things seem to be loaded w water. Plus they do have uv protection too, although i wear sunglasses so it doesnt matter so much.
Natures tears eye mist & Thera tears are my 2favorite products. Natural and they help support my eye comfort.
I would never buy contacts at a retail outlet again. I get them online and they come fast. As for my favorites, I am a boston EO wearer.
Contact lens has become very popular these days both for vision care and also for the fashion.Contact lens are very useful and the main reason for its popularity is fed up of glasses and also getting rid of contacts. http://www.contactlensesmall.com
