Notes:
- First time I've ever used long-term lenses, I used them for a full work-day at the computer
- Packaging is nicer to handle (bigger and easier to grip)
- The lenses themselves are huge, or at least they feel like it
- They have a clear area around the coloured iris which I think is part of what makes them larger than usual
- The colouring makes it a little easier to determine which way is the correct curvature
- Easy enough to fit to the eye
- They're definitely noticeable, not like my plain daily disposables
- Kinda makes my eyes feel puffy, as though they're really thick
- Feels like it's hard to look to the sides, but I think that's psychosomatic
- Periphery clouding of vision, like tunnel-vision. Bearable enough
- You'll definitely remember you're wearing them, constantly
- No problems at all on my right eye, which has a tendency to dry out easily and "reject" the lens - the dailies literally pop right out on rare occasions
- Thought the peripheral clouding might go away in bright light as the pupil contracts, but that didn't happen
- The colour looks great though. I'm not sure how obvious it is as I don't often seen green-eyed people, but I think it's pretty pronounced.
- As another reviewer said, it's looks natural at normal distances, but is noticeably fake when you get close. I'm satisfied though.
- Flaring is a problem, the same as the daily freshlook colourblends that I've got (I suspect this is common). Strong light at angles far from the centre of your vision will cause "cloudiness" and loss of contrast, the same as camera lenses.
This is really the least of your problems, you already have clouding at the edges anyway
