Disposable Contact Lenses in General

Since my eye sight had gotten worse within the last 12 months I was more and more reliant on my glasses needing them 24/7 so it seemed like a more flexible option for me was to try contact lenses. Why?? Well I love my glasses but sometimes they are just a little impractical, ever been at a theme park and had to keep taking your glasses on and off due to the worry that you might lose them during a ride? Or wished you hadn't had to wear your glasses to that wedding or for that special occassion? Well I did and I was fed up of not feeling as glam as I used to when I went on a night out so I booked myself an appointment at my local opticians ...  Read the complete review

I was about 11 years old when I realised that the world was not actually meant to be in soft focus. Pity really, its very nice that way, but a random eye test at school revealed that I was in need of a pair of spectacles and suddenly my world was all horribly in focus! On the first day I got my glasses, my boyfriend 'an older man' who was 12 years old and 'a man of the world', dumped me because he didn't want to be seen with a 'furniture face.' Thus began a hatred of my glasses which lingers to this day (very sad I know, but quite amusing all the same considering the aforementioned cool ex boyfriend is now a fully paid up member ...  Read the complete review

Blind without them. I am sure there are many of you out there who know what I mean when I say without my glasses I am as blind as a bat. I am also sure that those of you who do need to wear glasses are familiar with looking at the world in a blurred way without them. Glasses are a pain. However useless I am without my glasses there’s no getting away from the fact that they are a pain, uncomfortable and that your vision is impaired straight away at the slightest covering of dust or dirt over your glasses. How many of you like myself spend many minutes of the day cleaning lenses with the bottom of tee shirts and jumpers when there just ...  Read the complete review

I am slightly short sighted and need to wear glasses for reading, watching TV, driving and basically whenever I want to see things clearly! As a result, I pretty much wear them all of the time as I find that I get a headache due to eyestrain if I have not wearing them for longer than an hour or so. However, recently I decided to try contact lenses as I was sick of not being able to see across the bar in the pub without my specs and getting a headache after a while (well I suppose the headache may be due to the loud music and alcohol!). So I visited Optical Express as they were doing a free contact lens trial at the time. After an eyetest which I ...  Read the complete review

THE REASON: As a rugged kind of guy, glasses are no good for me. I can often be found rolling around toy fighting with a friend, and find glasses always get bashed, smeared and broken if I wear them for day to day use. When I got married a few years ago I decided to pick up contacts, and have ever since been wearing disposable (monthly) contact lenses. THE PRICE: For just £9 a month I have optical express contacts, and I love them. That price doesn't include solution, which I buy for around £1 a month on ebay. THE METHOD: As a man, I have never applied anything to my eye, and when I first got them it took me a good half ...  Read the complete review
