Kirsten,

What soft lenses do you have? I have only tried one type, night and day monthly ones. I was told that I couldn't have dailies as they don't let enough oxygen through and having two lenses that is bad.

Have you tried any other ones? My RGP fits really snugly on the top of the soft one. It moves slightly but not a lot. Maybe your RGP is moving too much and the soft lens isn't 'cushioning' as much as it should!

Hoping you can sort it out, love Sweet X x X

I have acuvue moist dailies.
My optometrist thought it was best to eliminate use of solutions since my eyes are so sensitive, plus I hate all the cleaning.. so we opted for dailies.
They are the only ones I've tried though.
It feels as tho the RGP fits fairly snug, although they do occasionally fall off the soft lens and end up floating elsewhere in my eye... so maybe it's not as tight as I thought!
I'm really not sure. I do need to go back to my optometrist soon though so I'll get him to check the fit on both eyes anyway.
At the moment i'm also just thinking of this as a temporary solution. I figure i've put up with the redness for this long, what's another year or so? lol
