Acuvue contacts vs Daillies once (toric contact lenses)?

I tried acuvue oasis & advance (both toris). 8.6 (12.5) , their hurt my eyes after 3-4hrs my eyes would be bloodshot, and in pain, i tried for multiple days, both brands with a 1-week break in between the trials. I talked him into the 1-day focus dailies toric brand 8.6(12.2). no issues on comfort, dont even notice then once worn for a hour (upto a hour they are a bit annoying). no bloodshot eyes at all.

So based on this knowledge, unfortunately i CAN NOT afford to go with 1-days as they cost 50+ dollars a month. NONONONO, I need to get the normal (wear them for 2-4weeks and toss them brands).

1, what do you think is the issue with the above contacts why the BEST didnt work, and a OFF-name brand works perfect.

2. What name brand should I try next that i can afford??

    Well it's no surprise you had problems with the Advance toric, it never should have been put on the market.

    It is being replaced with the Oasys Torics, which are somewhat better, but still a crappy lens in my opinion.

    My lens of choice for Torics is the Biofinity Torics which are a dream to fit. 99% of the time the patients love them and they work on the first try.

    They are silicone hydrogel monthly lenses , which make them very cost effective also. They are the newest technology material and a healthy lens to wear.

    Hopefully your Dr. deals with Coopervision and not just that Acuvue stuff.
