girlypants Every sympathy for you... I too was sitting here feeling a bit sorry for myself. My situation not as bad as yours. I am an ungrafted wearer of RGP hybrids...I have been struggling for the last few days with a painful left eye (that's my worse one) and am sitting here at work with an hour ...

I work at a PC screen pretty much all day.

I take regualr breaks but still find my eyes get very tired.

I'm told that changing the colour configuration of the screen can make things easier...does anyone have any recommendations? Can anyone help?

Hi Marc I'd just like to echo Ed's advice. I remember having all sorts of troubles with my lenses initially. I seem to remember the advice being to wear them for an hour for a few days then build it up in hour or even half hour stints. Maybe you over-did it a little, but it won't hurt to get profess...

A senior moment??? At 37...yes I expect it was.

Went to Taunton for the annual checkup yesterday. I'm so used to the drill by now I could do it in my sleep, same old faces there as usual. Anyway, the optician started things off using that 'corneal mapping' machine (see I know all the technical terms), the one you look into and it takes a picture ...

Ahhh you big softy Andrew!!!

I cried too (a bit) when my eldest was born......as for the second it was all a bit more dramatic and I was too busy being in shock and fear and keeping out of the way....all was well in the end though I am delighted to say.

A amd day in March 2002. The day I knew Yeovil Town would get promoted to the football league for the first time ever. Not the day they were actually promoted, but the day on which we played Halifax away, and it all slotted in to place...we were going up! Oh and there's the birth of my children, mar...

Thanks I am indeed well.

John, can you help me, I have tried to take the flashy cassette off my signiature but for some reason it still appears....can you help me, even I am finding it annoying now!!!

HELP!!!

....what happened to the non-KC Chit Chat bit...I liked that.

And why do I have to keep pressing refresh to get the graphics to work on the new site layout - nice layout by the way!!

My top tips are: 1.0 Routine...get into one with your lenses and then you won't forget anything like cleaning etc etc! 2.0 Don't let the little chaps stop you doing anything....beaches, windy days, nothing stops me...although I do get the odd starnge look out and about on windy November days wearing...
