Ow ow ow god thats 2 years ago now bloody sore at the time

forthose that don't know i forgot i had taken my lens out and managedto take the top layer of my cornea off

Aaarrggh!! OUCH!!! :shock:

I'm rubbing my eyes now just thinking about it!

Poor you! Glad you're ok now :)

I bet that happens more often than you'd think!

Yeah pretty awful to be honest bright sunlight hurt like hell i wore a pink eyepatch for a while it took about a month to clear up

yeah i still wear lenses now monthly's but need to find a supplier down here now

Owww!!!!!!!!!!

Tried contact lenses 'bout 12 years ago. Hated every minute. A pain to put in, a nightmare if you get a hair underneath them - it's just like taking a razor blade to your eye. And all that cleaning & sterilising.

Once I managed to get a green fly under my lens. Nightmare to get out - bits of wing & leg came out piece by piece. My eye killed. I could barely see. Should probably have pulled over to the side of the road at the time, but I'd just fixed a puncture & was late for tea.


My advice: Stick to spectacles.

Yeah today specs are most definitely a fashion statement, not that I wear any cheesey designer one's of course. :^o

Same here! Just stick them in at the beginning of the month and throw them away at the end of the month, easy.

i rememeber, that was the first time we met you want it!! :lol:

but OW!!!!! and HOW!!!

any hoo

im use Specsavers monthlies, £13 a month, where em all waking hours, and if u sleep in them by mistake, no worries, like the other nite...
Plus all checups are free, so are additional eye tests i think, lus u get a booklet with deals like half price glasses, free lenses if u rip one.

Works out 3x the cost of glases as a pair on average lasts me 3 yrs, but oh so much better and worth every penny!!!

Yeah that was the first time you met me :oops:

£12 pm monthly disposables for me. bit of upkeep required i.e. cleaning them everynight but thats no big deal it quickly becomes part of the routine.

next year i plan to go for it and have my eyes lasered.

or is it lazered?

open wide.... :shock:

For me teh troublewith the laser option is:

1) It's permanent so if they mess up. Game over you're getting a dog & a white stick

2) They have to cut the cornea open to perform the surgery, then afterwards you're walking around with an eye with a hole in - say a fly gets in? Or something drops out?


Designer specs for me!

Got a pair with the bendy metal so they fit snuggly inside my shoei.
