Hi all, I've not posted in a while - but was just wondering if anybody on here could lend some advice. I use Clinitas Soothe eye drops daily and on quite a regular basis throughout the day. However, my eyes still seem to "dry up" quickly and they get fairly irritable (this happens both wit...

I am fed up of being asked if I'm alright because my eyes are red and sore looking. I look like I've got a bloody hangover Me and you both mate - seriously annoying!! Also, this line from your most recent post sums up how I feel exactly: "I don't mind sacrificing a bit of vision to have comfor...

I recently had to go and get my left RGP re-fitted as the 1 I had was causing me serious discomfort & couldn't b...

I will try that

I also took your advice (not sure if you posted it in this topic or another) and put a drop on the lens just before I put it in - worked an absolute treat!

My relief comes from Clinitas Soothe. I took your advice Andrew and tried the Clinitas Soothe. They had great online reviews & seemed very reasonably priced for the amount you actually get. I've only used them a few times since they arrived in the post, but they're already making a massive diff...

Just followed

I'll spread the word!
I manage a few accounts on Twitter (2 work accounts, my band account plus my personal account) so I have followed on all 4

Cheers for the replies - I will try some of these out & see what works the best!
