I use a preservative free saline made by Sauflon to fill my lenses before inserting - a big bottle costs about £4 if you can find somewhere to buy it!

Hi, I started using Oxysept solution about 5 months ago and have actually been finding I've been using less eye-drops since. I also fill my lenses with a preservative free saline before inserting them (although I use a regular saline to rinse them after cleaning and before disinfection as I found th...

I have an iPad - one feature I really like about it is the ease that you can invert the colours (just quickly press the home button 3 times) - I find it much easier to read white text on a black background when my contacts are out and my glasses are on as there is less glare! You may be able to do t...

I've been using Clintas Soothe for several years but decided to try a different drop just to see how I got on! Bought some phials of Blink Contacts last week and so far so good (very very early days though) but as others say, it's probably a very personal thing!

Hello - I've had some allergy problems over the Summer this year. Could have been hayfever related or could have been something that got absorbed by the lenses. I wasn't sure if it was the solution or not but decided to change anyway (with approval from my optom) - using Sauflon's ComfortVue now. I ...

Hi, I've been told I have an eye infection and been given some drops. Won't be wearing my lenses for a few days but my GP mentioned that they might need special cleaning as the bacteria may have been absorbed by the lenses and therefore the infection may re-occur. Waiting for my optom to get back to...

Interesting conversation thread.... I also recently purchased an iPad for similar reasons but my main issue is reading and using the computer when my contacts are out and I'm wearing specs as I struggle with being able to read clearly! One other feature of the iPad which seems to help quite a bit is...

I don't know about these but I wear Synergeyes Clearkone lenses and have found them to be excellent!
