Stu, Go to the website at the start of this thread, there are whole forums dedidcated to C3-R. I myself ahave decided to go forward with both Intacs and C3-R and am doing it privately so that I can have good vision when it counts (I'm 30 and have a few things I want to do in the next decade). My sim...

You should be able to be reffered to a hospital for your lenses, just ask. This will be a very expensive process otherwise, my optom refused to treat me because with KC it could cost me thousands and still not produce the right results.

Usually finishing work around 8pm and then needing the time to cook, eat, and do anything I normally do I find I forget to use my lenses until it's f...

I've finally got my lenses and they're a pretty good fit and I managed 3 hours (recommended by optom) wear time last night.

By the way I'm an ex-smoker and hate the smell o...

Tuna Steak and Salad with new potatoes, could happily live on that.


If you were stuck in a lift with someone who would you least like it to be and why?

- Replace your old PC monitor with a flat-screen - less heat, less power and easier on the eyes! This works for TV's a well, a good LCD flat screen is so much easier to view and has better colour. Other than that I recomend hourly breaks if you work at a PC, this will help to keep that headache at ...

Used to love V, especially when the left there eyes in jars when removing their disguises.

Had that guy from Midnight Caller in it, can never remember his name though. That was another good series.

A micrometre (American spelling: micrometer; symbol µm) is an SI unit of length equal to one millionth of a metre, or equivalently, one thousandth of a millimetre. It is also commonly known as a micron. It can be written in scientific notation as 1×10−6 m, meaning 1 / 1,000,000 m. The symbol µ...
