Jay I rekon you are really a car thief, I mean Manchester, Cheshire area and London are the worst places in the UK for car thefts!

You've just expanded your operation :wink:

What you need is a "starter pack", which is like a free sample that companies give opticians to hand out to patients to try.

They are small bottles meant to last about a week or so. You can then refill them :) Optifree do them, I know. Thing is you need to find someone local to let you try one!

soft lens solutionn

Postby Jan Miles » Mon 01 May 2006 9:15 am

I use piggy backing sometimes under my rgp's and i get the same problem with cloudiness.

ive found by putting a few drops or a lot of drops of saline in my eye while ive got my lenses in can work. (i use bauch and lomb sensitive eyes or nick some of my amidose meant for my sclerals).

If that doesnt work, i take both lenses out from one eye, give the daily disposable lens the quick once over with just saline, put it back in then clean my rgp with Quattro (cleaner for hard and soft lenses) rinse very thoroughly with saline and bung back in.

Sometimes this has to be repeated throughout the day.
