  comfort's water content is higher than 38.. thus ur eyes need to supply more water to "feed" the lens..
  
  if ur eyes feel dry, u can try to change to 38, i m using now. tried comfort b4 and my eyes cant take it.
  
  u try bring back to your optician.. should be able to change.. if not, change half mth supply. btw can u get a trial pair b4 u exchange it one to one? go ask ur optician.. comfort & 38 should be same price

  hmm... not sure if is thinner.. but the water content for 38 is lesser.. so ur eyes shld feel less drier..
  
  i feel that as times go by... eyes tend to cant take lens anymore.. become drier as time go by..
  
  last time i can wear for a very long time.. but now... after 8 hours.. my eyes cant take it anymore.

  i'm using softlens 38 now.
  
  occasionally, i still feel some dryness, esp after waking up from a train/bus sleep.
  
  also, after wearing for abt 9 hrs or so, dryness also sets in.
  
  ani one got these situations?
