BetterMe Brown (CR27)

I usually avoid 14.0mm lenses because they can look bug-eyed, but the brown tone blends so naturally that my coworkers just assumed I got better sleep. Wore them a full nine hours at a wedding and my eyes stayed comfortable thanks to the 40% water content — no dryness at all.

The gradient catchlight in these makes my eyes look almost glassy in photos, which I wasn't expecting from a 14mm lens. Wore them to a wedding and forgot I had them in until the drive home, no dryness at all. A year of wear for this price feels like a steal.

I wore these for a 6-hour shift and my eyes never felt dry, which rarely happens with contacts. The 40% water content really makes a difference and the 8.6 base curve hugs my eyes well. A whole year of wear for one pair is a nice bonus too.
