Just thought it would be interesting to add this theme for you all to comment on or add your own version as you wish.
A Day in the Life of... KC
1. Wake up and get washed/dressed. Wash those hands thoroughly.
2. Carefully remove the streaky white mucus that has formed overnight underneath the lower eyelids before putting in lenses.
3. Insert RGP corneal lenses in both eyes and hope it's not going to be a bad eye day!
4. Travel to work - check I've got that pair of wrap-around sunglasses that are mandatory these days.
5. Get to work and sit down infront of VDU but must remember to keep blinking to get that good tear exchange and comfort.
6. Off to a meeting but the eyes are sore so today I am finding it difficult to maintain eye contact with colleagues - do they notice ? Do the usual quick diagram to explain to those who are intriged.
7. Back to the VDU for some more blinking. Infact if you have a NEC monitor - switch on those health tips which pop up on the screen to remind you to exercise your eyes.
8. Out to lunch and it's a windy one today. Bit of dust under the lenses - ouch... blink blink blink - ah thats better - eventually.
9. Back to the VDU. Air conditioning drying the eyes out a bit today - blink again lots of times. Perhaps worth putting some refresh drops in.
10. Finally got to the end of the day. Red eyes. Now the glare and halos to cope with - lets not go there in this posting - still trying to find a solution for this though.
11. Back home - can't take the lenses out because I wish to prepare food (sharp knives!), then catch up on paperwork & email and relax infront of TV.
12. Time for bed - relief as I remove each lens - great temptation to rub eyes but no this would not be a good idea.
13. Get the three bottles out:
Saline (Green lid)
Total cleaner (White lid)
Total soaking solution (Another white lid - why o why???)
14. Thoroughly wash hands and then do the usual RGP "scrub" between finger and thumb or index finger and palm. Rinse with the green bottle - Saline. Finally store in the case and soak in good old Total. (BTW check out
http://www.postoptics.co.uk - much cheaper solutions than highstreet)
15. Sleep and start this all over again tomorrow
Hope this is useful!
