Cllr - sorry to hear about your eyesight problems.

Mark - I'm intrigued by you treating your extended wear lenses as daily lenses. Is there something I should know (she asks worriedly)? I have extended wear lenses and they're supposed to be worn for up to a month, both day and night. They're fantastic, and I love them - it's amazing waking up with perfect vision (and even more amazing going to bed and being able to see...well..never mind...). Anyway, I never have trouble with these, except when I have hayfever and have to switch to daily disposables for a couple of weeks. I had wondered how my eyes might be affected by constant wearing of lenses, but my optician (or optometrist or ophthalmologist - sorry, but in the UK they all seem to get referred to as "opticians" even when they do more than fit glasses) said there shouldn't be a problem. Should there? Anyone heard otherwise?
