A previous note made me remember my one big thing I want to have a moan about.

Lenses Cleaners. Why the Hell cant they put them in bottles that indicate to the myopic danger by colour. If you have no lenses in you cant read the small print.

I was having a bad contact lens day. I picked up the saline re wetted my lens to put it in and oh my GOD it was the AOSEPT bottle. What is the point of the poxy little red top when you cant see your hand in front of your face.

We now have a law in the bathroom. When I open a new bottle of AOSEPT we Tape 3 big rings of Red PVS tape round it. I can see it without my lenses and if I am having one of my light sensitive days I can feel the tape when I pick it up.

Trust me you'll only ever do it once!

This may be a bit strong but it does make me cross!!

You're dead right about only doing it the once!

My bathroom rule is to keep the different bottles on different shelves. It works well... until you go away and stay with friends for the weekend. All the bottles were in the same bag.

I think your rule is better. I took about 30 minutes constantly dripping Amidose in the eye until the pain became duller. The eye was still red the next day.
