Acuvue Oasys is a silicon hydrogel lens. This is a new material that was developed a few years ago that allows several times as much oxygen pass through as conventional lenses. Proclear is one of the very best conventional lenses. You would think that Oasys would be a better lens for everyone since it allows more oxygen to get to your cornea. This is not necessarily the case. You have to try some trial lenses to see what works for you.

Oasys worked best for me, but you would need to try both to see which ones work best for you.

Neither is " better"...it depends which one works best for YOU .
You will have to get trial lenses from your Dr. and see how they work. The Oasys don't work for everyone, just like the Proclear don't.
I've tried them both and they both bug my eyes after a while but Acuvue Oasys took a little longer to irritate my eyes.
