Aarrghh ... soft lenses!!!!!

Postby Sweet » Thu 25 Jan 2007 12:32 am

Arrghh why are soft lenses so dam annoying at times! LOL!!

You can take a RGP out, clean it and replace it fine. But try this with a soft one and done too many times your eye really hates you for it!!!

Dam little pieces of sticky stuff which feels like the middle of a jaffa cake :roll:

Here i go to try putting it in again as i need to get some work done ... stupidly i am trying to write about these dam things in piggy backing!!! :oops: :P

I've never worn soft lenses even before my KC was diagnosed. I have always felt they are troublesome to handle, which of course may be totally wrong.

There you go, Gareth and Matthew have come up with the perfect "solutions". :)

I hope you have by now got over the discomfort, Sweet

Hey Sweet - this is ironic - you're having trouble with soft lenses and I'm having trouble with RGP's - maybe between us we could have one good eye each!

Just about to go and put mine in.....

Pat,

Dont trust Sweet, when she does have a good eye she will still try and enter a pub via the window and not the door :twisted:

Perhaps after the next AGM we will have more luck!
