Laughing way too funny, and yes i have recovered them from the sink! I do have a spare one, but tried it yesterday and with everything with my lens lately it is too painful to wear so obviously this one has been a spare too long. I ordered another one yesterday from my optometrist in wales, so am wa...

Hi there! Sorry to hear about your headache, hope this clears up soon. I get them but normally when i leave my lenses out as i am struggling to see! I find some paracetamol does the trick though. I suffer more with actual eye pain when i blink or move my eyes, but i have had this for years so i gues...

Yes my sister looked at it lol with her lenses in! And it is smudged and blurry. So i just went out and bought some Boston cleaner which i used to use years ago and hoping this will do the trick. I dont think i soaked it long enough in the protein remover tablet, i only left it for two hours. To be ...

Hehe thanks for that, and yes it is in the right eye as i only wear one!!

And yea i waited until the water was really cold.

Hmm i dont know about referring to Moorfields, whether it is a good thing or not, just wanting to add that i waited 11 months to get to see someone in Moorfields and i only live 5 - 10 miles away, and now i am waiting for a fitting for scleral lenses. So all i can add is that if you really need new ...

Well i went and had an eye test this morning for the DVLA so that i can get my licence renewed. Not sure if i have passed though the lady examiing me thought it was ok! I scored 6/12 with right eye with lens reading the chart and just the top line barely without a lens. On the left i just saw a ligh...

oh thats what im having tomorrow then, havent had one before. Will i fail that if i only have sight in one eye?? Is it just to make sure you can see full vision so that you can drive?
