...I went to the doctor recently and he couldn't find Amidose on his list either, so gave me a few boxes of Steripod. For some reason though, Steripod doesn't feel as good in the Sclerals as Amidose. My sclerals tend to get irritable and uncomfortable quicker wearing Steripod in my sclerals. Maybe i...

Ed, I usually put a towel on my lap so that the saline doesn't go everywhere when putting my sclerals in! lol I've more or less mastered the knack of getting them in now as been wearing them for a few years so tend to have less wet patches everywhere than i used to lol!

Cheers
