Can I have a biscuit too? I have also cracked a scleral lens..

Claire, I use some Speedo goggles. To be honest they are more like glasses, infact they may be called 'swim glasses', but not too sure. They cost about £15. I got mine in John Lewis. They are brill, as they don't push into your eye socket like the small ones do, they have not leaked yet. I bet I ...

Val.. Why not?? I am 40 something too, and wear wrap around shades and a baseball cap, most of the time, told I looked cool once.... Just going to attempt to put the powered lenes in again. Scared....
