Hubble Contacts

I got sucked into the free trial and thought, "contacts are contacts." Not true. The Hubble Contacts tend to be more dry and therefore pop-out at less than opportune times. You can't unsubscribe online; you need to call. I asked for a refund from my second (and last order), and they said they couldn't refund on opened boxes.

These contacts seem like a great deal, but for me they were awful. All day, all I could think about was how badly I wanted to take them out. They were dry and irritating. I use Acuvue Oasys and Acuvue Vita lenses, and I often forget I even have them in. So, it was quite a shock to be so bothered by contacts.

Do the free trial, but be warned they will charge you again after only two weeks!

If they work for you, that's great! They are quite affordable. But they automatically charge you again after just two weeks, and after that, I guess it becomes monthly?

Actual lenses themselves a pretty neat. I work in Human Resources; half the day I'm staring at a screen the other half I'm running around my medical facility. The lense has no problem with my computer to active mode - everything looks sharp!

The only con, for me, is by the end of the day (and by the end of the day I mean 8 to 12 hours), my eyes start to dry out significantly. If I don't take these contacts out as soon as I get home, they sometimes stick to my eyeballs the way a contact would if you wore them for more than 24 hours or 48 hours overnight. It dries even quicker when I'm more active and or I travel (airplane).

I have allergies that usually flare up late at night and have had to drown my eyes in contact special fluid to peel my contacts off. I have never had issues with my other contacts drying out so fast the way these do. I even switched back to my old daily brand and saw none of my drying problems. My old brand is not a special extra moisture brand just regular dailies from bio true.

I most likely will stop using Hubble just because they've left my eyes really dry and irritated even with contact lenses special eye drops, but I do prefer Hubble's Rx lense.

Hubble Contacts are just okay. If you're someone who sits in front of a computer all day for work, these are not the contacts for you. They dry up very quickly.

I use them for very short term, maybe 5 hours max when I'm working out or playing any sports.

Prior to Hubble, I was spending about $100 every 6 months on bi-weekly contacts which was not a bad deal, but I was liking the idea of being able to just simply toss out a pair of contacts for a fresh pair the next morning. Also, it's not always easy to just put $100 out of your pocket.

So, in a moment of "oh crap, I have a week left of contacts and no more money," I came across a Hubble ad on a social media site I visit, saw they were offering 2 weeks free, and decided to give it a try. I have mild astigmatism in one eye (which has otherwise prevented me from getting other brands of dailies before), so was a bit hesitant, but I read that in some folks, it's not a problem, and I signed up.

Once I got my package, I popped a pair in, and sure enough, the one eye with astigmatism did feel a little uncomfortable, but that sensation did eventually go away. I have been using Hubble for about 6 months now, and it has been working well, up until the last few months.

Anymore, by 6 or 7 at night, my eyes are so dry and hurt so bad that I absolutely have to take the contacts out. Often times, it is irritating all day, not just at night, making it difficult for me to work. I have tried a few different brands of eye drops for contacts, and not one has been able to relieve the discomfort. Then, once they're taken out, my eyeballs have a strange sensation of sensitivity, almost like when you wear socks all day and finally take them off (the feeling of your feet, but on your eyes instead). It's definitely nothing I've felt with my other brands of contacts, so I can only assume it's because the lenses don't allow your eyes to get much O2.

All in all, Hubble certainly is not horrible, and they are an inexpensive option for daily lenses, but I will have to either give up and go back to bi-weekly lenses or shell out big bucks for a bigger brand, but I just cannot pay for any more Hubble Contacts.

First the pros: the price is great, the website is easy to navigate, and the contacts are delivered quickly!

The flip-side: I don’t feel like my vision with these contacts is QUITE as crisp and clear as it is with my O2 Optix lenses. It’s a difference I notice primarily in glare producing situations, like seeing halos around headlights or streetlights, that type of thing. It’s not enough to keep me from reordering, just something to be aware of. I also notice that my eyes seem more dry by the end of the day with the Hubble Contacts than they do when I wear my other contacts.

I love how they ship them every month so I don't have to spend time ordering contacts or worry about remembering to do it. The price is good for me, and it's nice to have a new pair every day. They are much better than my old two-week contacts that were always dirty and blurry after two days.

I do see halos around lights as other people mentioned, but because it's a fresh pair and there are no dirty lenses anymore, I can still see way better than with my old ones.

The bad part is that my right eye has been burning since the first time I put the first Hubble lens in. It burns on and off all day, especially if I'm reading and not blinking a lot. I'm having to take them out and put glasses on at night and even after I take them out my right eye is still burning if I don't constantly blink. I'm not sure why it's only happening in one eye, and it starts the moment I put them in.

I will probably cancel and try a different brand of daily contacts regardless of the price because trying to find a brand I can live with has become impossible since Focus monthly lenses have been discontinued.

I ordered the contacts for my son who has been wearing contacts for 6 years. My son says these contacts are the same prescription (-4.75 and -5.00) yet when he wears the Hubble Contacts he says the strength is not comparable and he cannot see as well as with the Acuvue contacts he has been wearing the past 6 months. I am not sure why the strength is not the same between contacts.

It seems like they are more dust or maybe more water absorbent than other contacts; i.e., if you have one piece of lint from drying your hands then it will attach to the aqua dailies. Also at least the first couple of times I had to use multiple contacts because my eye would randomly burn from them. But my eyes are less dry than when using aqua brand, oddly.

Also, why is there no express shipping option? I would pay extra for this! Or maybe send me 35 lenses every 30 days because no doubt I always run out early. It is convenient though.

I was very excited to learn about this very affordable option when purchasing contacts. I have very sensitive eyes, so daily contact lenses are really my only option. I've also been impressed with the delivery schedule. I've been super ahead with deliveries, which is nice. I never have to worry about running out of contacts.

The only negative thing I have to say, and it's a big negative, is about their return policy. I recently found out my prescription has changed. I had two unopened boxes off contact at home. When trying to return them, I was told by the CSR that she could not take contacts if it was past 30 days from the delivery date. This is frustrating. I know you can skip deliveries, but I like to make sure I have plenty of extra contacts on hand in case I lose a box, contact falls out, or really any other contact emergency.

Now I'm stuck with 30 days worth of contacts that I can't use. I'm already creating a lot of waste using daily lenses, and now I'm literally throwing away 30 days worth. This just does not seem right. I also asked if I could swap the box with my new prescription, but this is not allowed.

This is a great option for someone that will manage their subscription monthly to make sure you aren't stuck with unusable contacts. I will definitely skip a few months and just make sure I don't have any extra months supply lying around. My eyesight has been changing the past two years, so I can't really rely on it staying the same.

The contacts work, and the advertising is legit. However, even though the contacts are comfortable when you first put them in, after 10-12 hours, they become dry and unbearable. Not as comfortable as my normal brand Acuvue Oasys. Okay, as a backup, but not ideal. I have to call and cancel since I cannot do it online, which is a hassle.
