More Hydrogel Contact Lenses Discontinued at CooperVision

Completely Discontinued Lenses (trials and boxes)

My lens is discontinued, but I've never been able to wear other lenses.  What can I do?

A certain number of contact lens wearers react very poorly to the higher oxygen silicone hydrogel materials used in most contact lenses today.  The silicone used in the lenses to make them more breathable and healthier for the cornea can irritate some people's eyes, causing redness or even an allergic reaction like Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis. If you still wear the lenses discontinued above, there's a good chance the only reason you still wear that lens is because you have had issues trying to switch. If you are intolerant to silicone lenses, there are still a number of silicone-free hydrogel products on the market.  CooperVision's Proclear line is still considered a vital part of their lens portfolio; both monthly wear and daily disposable options are available in the Proclear material. Many daily disposable lenses use hydrogel materials: Dailies Aqua Comfort Plus, and Acuvue 1 Day Moist for example.  Two companies still make 2 week disposable hydrogel lenses like Biomedics and Vertex: Bausch and Lomb's Soflens 38 and Johsnon & Johnson's Acuvue 2 are still available in a 2 week modality.  Soflens also comes in both astigmatism and multifocal options (though the optics on the multifocal are disappointing to most -- I'd upgrade to Acuvue 1 Day Moist Multifocal for the vision if you need a silicone-free multifocal contact lens).
