A member asked:
What is the difference between acuvue oasys for astigmatism and acuvue advance for astigmatism?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Material: Advance: silicone hydrogel material (galyfilcon a) with hydraclear wetting agent oasys: silicone hydrogel material (senofilcon a) with hydraclear plus wetting agent (less friction), slightly higher uv-a blockage oasys are more comfortable for some, but also cost more.

The plastic: It is a different plastic in each lens. They fit similarly, but oasys "breathe" better than advance. That is to say, oasys has a better oxygen permeability.
