I picked up a spare set of lenses the other day which came with a Boston 'starter pack'

Obviously I was grateful for the freebie, but you should have seen the tiny print size of the instructions written on the bottles - surely they must know people with RGP lenses havent got the greatest eyesight. I couldn't even read the instructions with my lenses IN.

I know that feeling, Chris. Gareth tells us that we ought to read carefully the leaflet that comes with eye drops: HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZE OF THE PRINT ON THESE THINGS?

Maybe that would be better like this

Have you seen the size of the print on these things?

Oh well, I have a magnifying glass and a video magnifier, so not event he smallest print ought to be able to defeat me! I suggst a hand held magnifier for bottles of medicine and the cooking instructions on shrink wrapped haggis!

Yes I have Andrew, so I take the bottles and instructions to work and enlarge the print using the photocopier.

Now I have Adobe Writer on my home PC I can do this at home too.

RGP's are used for more than just KC and many of thos can get a degree of vision (beter than us probably) with glasses.

RGP's are also an alternative for some people who have an alergy to the materials used in soft lenses too.
