I have the extended wear Hydrocurve II soft lenses. I had problems with
the normal soft lenses and couldn't wear them more than a few hours at a time.
My new lenses are GREAT!! They are more hydrophillic (higher water content), thus
easier for me to wear. I hear they have been recently approved for 1 month
wear (any concurrence??). I like the convenience of not having to fiddle with
them all the time. I paid $170.00 (including exam) for mine, not really 
expensive.They have been thoroughly tested and are safe to wear.
I suggest going to your eye doctor for them though, I had a bad experience
with one of these chain stores and try to avoid them for contacts (I go
there for my glasses though).
