Can I ask while we are loosely on the subject of pronunciation. How do we pronounce “sclerals.â€Â

Hi all, It’s been a while since I posted so I thought I would start with a bit of good news. Finally after 18 months of swapping lenses around my vision is very good (I thought this day would never come). I can now wear them all day every day and this weekend had the indescribable pleasure of w...

Hi Pat. I have only ever used an all-in-one solution. I tried Boston Symplus but found it was too viscous. I have found the best for me are Boots all-in-one or Quattro as they are only as viscous as water and don’t cause me irritation. I piggyback with one eye (soft lens under a RGP) and use th...

I am sure this question has been asked before so please forgive me if you are fed up answering it! How comfortable should an RGP lens be? I have had my current set of Rose-K lenses for around 6 months now. The left lens was never anywhere near comfortable until I started piggybacking with a monthly ...

Ok heres what I use Type of contacts - Rose-K (Right), Rose-K with CIBA vision Night & Day (piggy back) (Left) Wear time: About 12 Hrs (Left) 8 Hrs (Right) Wetting solution (drops) used: None (Sensative to everything it seems) Cleaning solution used: Quattro all in one (for the RGP's and the sof...

I usually drive for 2-3 hours a day but I work in a group responsable for a naional telecoms network so i could have to drive to anywhere from Glasgow to Plymouth at any time. Luckily i an still legal with glasses (right eye only) but i don't think i will be for long.

Hi all, I have managed to increase my weartime to around 6 hours a day, any longer and i can hardly wear them atall the next day. I could rearly do with having good vision for a lot longer and as I have read here a simple (in theory) way is to wear one lens at a time, doubleing weartime! I know ther...

Can i rearly go to casualty just because the lens is hirting. I would feel a bit of a fraud when there will be people with proper injuries there?

do we ( i mean us special few with KC ) go to casualty if we get an eye infection or just to our doctors?
