Hi

Thanks for the tips. Really useful. Did you get the bottles from Optician. I only have the lenses cases.

I am only wearing lenses for about 6 months and had one brek on me so I am still quite nervous but getting much better.

Thanks.

Might do that as i might need them in for a bit as eye sight with glasses is not the best.

When i started with lenses i wanted to go back to glasses. Now, i would never give up my lenses.

Will check it out when i go back to collect right lens. It is a pain that they take so long to order and receive.

Did you have to go get a new lens everytime you had a chip.

Thanks sweet Totally agree with you about eyse important and it is only plastic but my initial cost of Consultants, opticians adn new contacts was about 450 sterling. Might get a spare set. Think the cost is about 150 sterling which is not too bad. It takes 5-8 working days to get a new set made and...
