I was first given these lenses by D&A (I no longer go there for reasons I may write in another review). I now get them from an internet site. They are much cheaper but you will need to have an up to date prescription and contact lenses check up with an optician. If anyone wants to know the website let me know and I will find out. These have got to be the most comfortable lenses I have ever worn.
I don’t tend to wear contact lenses too often because I work with a computer all day and you are not supposed to wear lenses because the radiation from the screen drys your eyes out - there, you’ve learnt something today now. Dry eye syndome isn’t nice.
Apart from not having to bother cleaning them because you just chuck them away when you take them out you also don’t have to fork out for cleaner, lens holder etc. They are a tad more expensive than normal monthly lenses but I’m lazy so I’ll pay extra.
The lenses are very thin, not so thin that they rip as soon as you take them out of the container but thin so that you can’t feel them. Once I forgot weather or not I had taken them out and had to look in a mirror and feel my eyeball to check.
Reading the leaflet it says that these lenses have been tested and are safe to sleep in. This is a great bonus, don’t you always fall asleep in the car then wake up to find your lens stuck half way round your eyeball and dry eye syndrome? Well, you won’t get that with these lenses.
If you wear lenses every day I wouldn’t recommend these, it might get a bit expensive but if you only wear them occasionally they are a very good idea.
Money saving tip: get a friend to share the price with you and wear one each, just shut one eye all day, bonus!!!
