Disposable Contact Lenses in General Reviews

I remember when I had to start wearing glasses, I was around 9 or 10. I hated them. I only really needed them to see the blackboard/whiteboard at the time but I was so self concious that 2 weeks on in parents evening when my parents mentioned my glasses the teacher had no idea what they were talking about! Thing is I was brought up with ...  Read the complete review

I have needed glasses for about 12 years now and have used contact lenses for the past 7 or 8 years on a daily basis. I hate wearing glasses as I find them really annoying, especially if it is raining (wiping them every 2 minutes and making them all smeary) or if going inside after being outside in the cold (steaming up) or ...  Read the complete review

I will never forget the day I was told I would need to wear glasses, I was about 9 or 10 and thought it was the end of the world! From this day on I begged and pleaded with various opticians to give me contact lenses and they all said the same - "when you're 13". As a child that seemed like a lifetime away and the day of my ...  Read the complete review

I have been wearing glasses for a couple of years now and I have become increasingly self conscious about this. I am not worried about the vanity side of things as such more that I am not really supposed to advertise products that my company does not sell while at work and this means that I do not have 'branded' glasses any more for work ...  Read the complete review

***Thanks Dad*** As I'm sure you're all aware, we inherit the majority of our personality traits and physical features from our parents. My Dad was particularly generous with his genetic contribution and from him I not only recieved ugly feet and what I think of as a great sense of humour but also rediculously bad eyesight! ...  Read the complete review

**** Age 15, optometrist says 'you need glasses', shock, horror and panic, at that time glasses denoted the stereotypical geek, and in a school filled with superficial kids in their stereotypical cliques, looks meant everything, as I already had an eczema face and crooked teeth, I was not happy. A few years later, ...  Read the complete review

I have had short sightedness since I was a young child, and I do not remember a time when I didn't wear glasses and I was always insecure about them. I did not like having to wear them, but I literally had no choice in the matter and I wore my glasses for years. I felt that they were holding me back from things, and playing sports was ...  Read the complete review

I have had to wear Glasses pretty much all day everyday for the last 4 years or so as my vision is so poor without them, I wore them for everything from Driving to watching to TV to even doing the simplest of everyday tasks and I grew to absolutely hate my Glasses. I am the type of person that takes pride in my appearance, admittedly I ...  Read the complete review

It has now been a year since I first decided to try disposable contact lenses and I have not looked back since.

I started off with Optical Express paying ...  Read the complete review

Daily Disposable contact lenses are so important to me, in fact I do not think that I could cope without them. I have been wearing disposable contact lenses for over 10 years now and have never looked back (please pardon the pun)! I first discovered contact lenses at the age of 17, having had to wear glasses for being ...  Read the complete review

Contact lenses I have worn contact lenses for at least 7 years on and off and now I wear them all the time. I prefer to wear contact lenses now that my prescription is so high at -4.25 for both eyes. It means that I don't have to wear thick glasses and I can get a much bigger field of view which is especially important for ...  Read the complete review

I've worn contact lenses for a very long time now so feel justified in writing a review about disposable lenses. Firstly, I guess it would be of benefit to understand exactly what a contact lens is and does. A contact lens is is a corrective, cosmetic, or therapeutic lens usually placed on the cornea of the eye. Apparently, ...  Read the complete review

I have worn contact lenses since I was 14 years old. I started with standard contact lenses, then I moved onto monthly disposable lenses, and for the last 10 years I have been wearing daily disposable lenses. Like most people my main reason for wanting contact lenses rather than glasses was vanity, I didn't feel I suited the 'speccy' ...  Read the complete review

When I was at School I was very uncomfortable with the prospect of wearing glasses.

I was first introduced to contact lenses about 13 years ago now when my mom finally gave in and said I could have them instead of my horrid nhs free 'Deidre Barlow' glasses. I started off trying the hard contact lenses and did not like them as soon as I tried them. The optition then recommended I tried monthly disopsable lenses instead ...  Read the complete review

Very informative review and well written. For our 14 year old we decided on a mixed appoach of 30 pairs every 60 days with a top up purchase from the internet. This way he gets his 3 monthly free check ups, we benefit from cost savings from the intenet and trying out another supplier as we are not overly impressed with the current high street shop as they cannot seem to set upa DDI!

When I first was told I had to wear glasses I was thrilled, I know it's strange but it was all the rage. All my friends were wearing glass lenses in their glasses so I fitted in really well. Then the fashion faded, like all fashions and I was described as "the girl in the glasses" and I hated it. So I decided ...  Read the complete review

I have been wearing contact lenses for the last 10 years and have tried a variety of them, hard, soft, high water content, monthly disposable ones.

I could wear these lenses for longer periods than usual and didn't have to worry ...  Read the complete review
