This is key. Switching brands can make a huge difference.

In one, my eyes feel dry and itchy after just a few hours. In another (more expensive, of course), I can go 12 hours without discomfort.

Which brand works best for you? I gave up on contacts a few years ago.

Sorry for not seeing this earlier!

I'm in dailies, so I'm kind of a weird case. Makes sense though because I use them predominately for social events and athletics.

The ones that get itchy for me are Acuvue Moist.

A step better is Dailies AquaComfort Plus by Alcon/Novartis.

The really nice ones (comfortable for 12+ hours) are Dailies Total 1 by Alcon/Novartis. My optometrist described them as "the Cadillac of contacts," so I'm guessing they're expensive (I'm still working through my stock of Acuvue contacts).
