the eye doctor just said that new contact wearers always use acuvue oasys because it is better


Answers:

it depends on your individual eye and the reason the doc switched you to the oasys. this is an individual case thing.

all things being totally equal and in the absence of any contact lens comfort/vision complaints or signs of hypoxia or bad corneal health...they're about the same IMO as far as vision goes

but oasys has 10x the oxygen transmission of AV2. so if your doc switched you b/c you have signs of low oxygen to your cornea (which is the main reason *i* switch patients from AV2 to oasys) then in that case oasys is much, much better for your short and long term corneal health.
