Best contact lenses?

Hi, I am short sighted and usually buy my contact lenses from SpecsSavers. They are ok, but I can’t see very sharply even though I’ve only had my eye test done recently. I wonder if the issue is the contact lenses rather than the prescription?

I need to buy some as I am on my last pair and I thought I could buy them online for a change, that way I can try others on and see if they feel better. Which ones do you recommend?

I use Daysoft and they're great BUT they're closed like most places atm.

AirOptic (I think?!) are the comfiest for me and you can keep them in. If you know your prescription just go on vision direct, they come within a day or two through the post.

If you can't see properly have you got your prescription checked by another optician? Do you have astigmatism that can't be corrected with normal contact lenses? I have mild astigmatism that is corrected by my glasses and not contact lenses. Contact lenses that can do this is a lot more expensive! I am also mid 40s and slight long sighted. i know both contributed to my less than perfect vision in contact lenses but it's good enough for driving. My optician has explained it. Maybe it's time you visit another one who can answer your questions about your prescription and eye sight.
