Water content: A lens with high water content will result eye dry after long time wearing. High water content lens means it needs more water in another word, tears. The more tears absorbed by the lens, the more uncomfortable of your eyes.

Central thickness: If the central thickness is less than 0.04mm, it belongs to ultra thin. The ideal thickness is 0.04mm-0.06mm and normal one is range from 0.04mm to 0.09mm. What’s feeling can an ultra thin lens bring to you? More comfortable wear experience when wear it.
