I tried for months with the whole blinking method. after two trips to A and E at 2 am i gave up with blinking. The best thing for me is my plunger, simply squeeze it, put it on top of the lens, release pressure and take it off your eye. I never felt fully in control when using th blinking method, ma...

Spoke to my Optometrist and he gave me a different cleaning solution to use and told me to get some "Blink" eye drops. They worked a treat and was able to blink my lens out no problem and no pain whatsoever.

I have been having a bit of a problem removing my RGP from my right eye (the reason i don't yet have one for my left is a long and unrelated and unimportant story). when trying to blink it out it feels asif my eyelid is pulling it of and then its snapping back onto my eye a bit like when u ping a cr...
