There's Acuvue and there's everything else. I tried probably half a dozen brands over the years recommended as good by opticians - supposedly premium brands priced accordingly, and Acuvue are dramatically better than all of them.

If there's anyone else who have got close in terms of comfort, quality of vision etc, it's a well kept secret.

That helps confirm someone else's comment that this differs by person, not manufacturer. I kept trying Acuvue and found them very uncomfortable, instead favouring Focus Dailies. Now I am on Costco own brand which seemed even more comfortable.

Apparently Costco's Kirkland contacts are CooperVision MyDay lenses.

CooperVision brands under like 50 different names for every store they sell in. I think Wal-Mart calls them Ultraflex or something.

If it's not Acuvue for soft contacts it's almost always going to be one of the CooperVision chain brands.
