There’s nobody to like here. Your eye doctor can make a bunch of money selling you contacts and therefore doctors will say lots of dumb things about how dangerous Hubble is. Were the same doctors also talking about how dangerous contacts were a few years ago when this technology was state of the art? No. They are doing a much better job of looking out for themselves than for patients.

At the same time, it’s probably ALSO true that, if you can afford it, a brand using newer technology may be better. And you should talk to an eye doctor about the decision. I just wish eye doctors were not selling you anything and were in business to be doctors; that would make it a lot easier to trust that you were getting good advice.

PS I have a lot of experience with the price of contact lenses from my job, weirdly. For the best prices, you should buy contacts from either Costco or any online retailer besides 1-800 Contacts (Walmart, etc.). But I would suggest you buy the brand you’ve been prescribed.
