Re: Allergic to lens & solution?

Re: Bad Eye Day Tips
Thanks for the tips guys

I do like the ability to rest my eyes with a good glasses prescription
I will try sno* tears .

If I remember rightly Polyquad with is in Opti-free states on the box that it kills Acanthamoeba which is a well know eye infection causer.Do you know the cause/bacteria involved in the eye infection?
