Re: When do I get the bill
Having only ever got NHS lenses from Moorfields I can only comment on theIr system whereby the lens is only ordered once you have made payment to their cashier (situated elsewhere in the hospital). There are exceptions for those people that do not have to pay, e.g. claiming benefit of some kind (DLA...

Really interesting thoughts here. Can I just pick up on a couple of points. cone_eyes: You mention that you do not like the idea of wearing a badge. Can I ask your reasons why?

Re: Scerals make my eyelids sore
Hi Grahame, As a fellow Scleral wearer I can understand your problems as I too used to suffer. How long have you been fitted with them? It can take time for your eyes to get used to them, so that may also be a factor. I have to take a break from the PC every 40 minutes or so, mainly because I forget...

Re: hayfever + KC = please share your survival tips
The dreaded H... Try Zirtek that has already been mentioned as that seems to work well for me, but there is another anti-histamine available only via prescription that is stronger than those sold on the high street.
