jayne both you and bethan are more than welcome here as you can see we learn off each other here on ways of living with KC and don't worry if she kept her lens perfectly clean at her age i'd be amazed, i struggled along with "dirty" lenses for over 10 years before i gave in and started cleaning them correctly. :oops:

ps. Gareth i bought some systane at dinner and have just put one lot in, i put the drops in by my bottom lids which i presume works ok

I find thatworks best as you form a natural well between the eye and the lid.

Wish I could nip ouit and get Systane, I have to get it mail order.

Now going to wip my lenses out for a quick Systane session before putting them in for meeting in the hottest and most stuffiest offer it has been my misfortune to encounter. :D

This guys office pongs too, so will be putting pencils up my nose :D
