life with sclerals............
Posted: Mon 04 Apr 2011 8:22 pm
hey guys i hope everyone is well, seems ages since i was last on here!
Just having a thought so thought i would put it out there!
I have had my sclerals now for about 7 ish years i think. I Have been lucky enough to go to college and uni etc but Im finding now that i want to go off travelling/ski seasons etc on my own its holding me back a bit. As most of you know alot of us have two extreme eye sights with are lenses in and out. I can drive with them in but without lenses i literally cannot see a thing just a sea/blur of colour....
It amazes me how much saline i get through in a week and from my experience of travelling with my best friend a few years back my luggage was largely weighed down by amidose and saline......lucky for me we were in developed countries so saline was easy to find. I would love to go and travel south america and asia but i cant really see a boots chemist turning up in the middle of the inca trail!
Also being on the plane is an issue i really hate the thought of being 'escorted' off the plane so i can put my lenses in once at the airport. Then there's the fluid restrictions which is another issue!
Im basically just having a little rant as im getting frustated with my lenses at the minute......would just love to put on a pair of glasses and see but we can dream eh?!
If anyone has any suggestions or alternatives (!) to sclerals or tips/advice anything it would be much appreciated.
thank you
