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?

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.
