   Probably your Cibasoft lenses need to be replaced more often to keep
   the comfort level up.  I wore Cibasoft Tefilcon in the 80s — you
   can’t wear those lenses all day with comfort because the water content
   is low and not enough oxygen gets to the eye.
   

   Switch to disposables — Ciba Focus Monthly or Ciba Bi-Weekly are
   quite good and more comfortable than Cibasoft.  I wore those lenses
   for a few years before switching to 1-Day Acuvue.  I found the 1-Day
   Acuvue/Acuvue 2 design to be more comfortable than the Focus Monthly
   or Bi-Weekly.  There’s something about the way the Acuvues are
   manufactured (the edge design on AV2) which the other manufacturers
   can’t seem to duplicate.  You’ll never feel the lens edge at all.
   Quite remarkable.

   Focus N & D is also just as comfortable as Acuvue 2 and can be worn
   from the minute you get up to the minute you go to sleep.  Sometimes
   you will feel (slightly) the lens edge when looking towards the corner
   of your eye because the material is a little stiffer, but it’s hardly
   noticeable.

   Cibasoft is an old design — time to switch.
