I was prescribed RGP lenses back in November, and to be honest, I've really struggled with them. Great discomfort and really dismayed at how badly I've done. I know there are lots on here who've done a lot better than me and I am a little ashamed, but I thought I'd better own up to my shortcomings today and went back to seek help.
Now I don't know if this is general knowledge or not, but one of the major lens manuafacturers has just started promoting (within the last week) a brand new lens that does the same job as RGP, but is actually made of the same material as soft lenses and is supposed to be almost as comfortable as a softee to wear. The optician asked if I'd like to be his Guinea Pig...I could have kissed him.
So they are on order and due in about a week, and I admit to being absolutely thrilled at the prospect.
I asked if I could get a copy of the sales literature so that I could spread the word on here, but sadly they only had one copy and didn't want to let it go. I don't even know the manufacturer's name but if they are as good as they sound, they could make a difference.The Optician said he didn't know how they had managed to make such a lens, but if it works then it could be fantastic.
All I can say is I am hugely excited and I promise to let you all know how I get on. If they do the job that is promised then this could make a hell of a difference to so many of us.
I will report back as soon as I can!!
