Re: Nhs or Private?

My private Rose K2s from an amazing Optom at Specsavers are so much stronger, wider and more comfortable than the NHS' 'Jack Allen RGP'. That kept coming out of my left eye until she adjusted the base curve. Don't think she was very experienced in GPs. My private optom took literally 10 minutes to c...

Re: Glasses-RGP combo?

Yes, I too have had an overrefraction which is basically an eye test with lens in or one lens in. They are good if you would like to see, as you say, you would like to see if you can get better vision with lenses and glasses over. I found not much difference. I went to TESCO, free eye test, and it b...

Hard RGP lens Cleaner -The Cost of Them!

Hi All, I have recently been fitted with Rose K2s, which are fab by the way. I have saline (£1.98) MPS Solution (£1.99 from Savers inc Case!) and Easysept By Bausche and Lombe (£5.55 Tesco) What I really resent paying for though is £7.00 or more for 30ml of hard lens cleaner! I find it such a rip of...

I still clean with RGP cleaner, but rinse with perox...
