They were great for 2 weeks then horrible. I have problems seeing up close as it is, after 2 weeks I couldn't even read the gauges in my car! Got rid of them ASAP and went back to my usual contacts. The opthamologist said there's actually a very low percentage of people that have success with them.

Why would they change if they were great at first?? That makes no sense to me.

It was just all part of the fact that some do great with them and some don't. I don't think I was the only one to report that at first they were good then horrible. Why it would change I'm not sure, it probably has something to do with the concentric circles and the lens being fit differently. Dunno.

Love them!! I've been wearing them for a few months and they have been wonderful! I couldn't the one contact for far away and one contact for close up. Doctor gave me sample of the multi focal. It's like regular contacts. They are also comfortable as well.

Add me to the list of those who love them! If you don't like the first brand you get, try another. I wasn't totally thrilled with the Bausch and Lomb lenses, but I love the Ciba ones.
