How long will it be if ever for acuvue advance to be approved for
extended use.Is there a website to go to see if it is up for FDA
consideration.I ask this because I am currently Trying Focus night and
days and find them less comfortable than the acuvue advances

did you try both base curves of the n&d? They are certainly safer than
most...

You might also consider Ciba's O2Optix, the two week version of N&D. A
little bit larger and "softer" and more comfortable for some folks.

Word is that they are shooting for approval, but no firm date from
them.
