The problem my sister encountered with those new contacts ( they were the 'cats' eye's style very popular on the Internet a few years ago) is that they are made from non-FDA (or something like that) approved materials - she contracted a very serious eye infection (They were manufactured outside the US, I am sure it was China) and almost lost her vision in one eye
So, unless the eye doctor says' OK' - I won't use it
As for the lenses being thrown away every two weeks, the Acuvues I wear are only good for two weeks before the protein deposits accumulate and make my eyes itch like crazy. The eye doctor (not the same as my sister's) put it under the microscope and wouldn't let me put it back in my eye - I had worn them for about three weeks or more, I can't remember.
