Re: New RGP user. Advice needed

I'd echo Cripps comments, get back into the loop with the NHS. You and I appear to be twins; early 40s, the 15 years and could not get on with RGPs to begin with. Well done on lasting 5 months, I gave up much sooner than that. The Optometry team at Leicester Royal changed me over to soft lenses (wit...

Re: How do you deal with 'bad eye' days?
