Continual wear contact lenses?

[lisnic]

Gp has said no medical reason and that it is my glasses (see other thread)

He did say the bone on my nose could be the reason but as ive worn glasses for years prob not

He said continual glasses wear will just mean it continues he thinks

He said he would try contacts but will speak to optician tomorrow

Ive seen continual wear lenses anyone have these?

I do and I love them! Not sure what kind I have but I get them from Specsavers and it costs me £15 a month. I wear one pair for a month and then switch to a new pair. I usually have some time in the middle where I wear my specs instead, especially if my eyes feel gritty, but they've been fab for me.

The only time I find them difficult is if I've been woken up lots in the night and my eyes are really dry - a day's rest, or some eye drops and they're soon fixed.

I've been using them for about 4 years now and I love them! Even during pregnancy when your eyes are drier (apparently) I've not had any problems.
I usually wear them for the full month then have a break of a few days before putting a new pair in.
I get mine from asda and pay £35 for 3 months supply.

I have def got to get these glasses off my face i have had a headache for 4days mostly because of them and the pressure on my nose despite them fitting apparently (suddenly problems after 15years of glasses wtf!?) and on off problems for months

Cant be bothered with dailies monthlies etc

The risk of infections is greatest in continual wear lenses, these include infections that can cause you to loose your sight. It really isn't worth the risk IMO, go with daily wear for the 2 minutes it will take to put the lenses in.

[creamcracker]

I have 3 monthly check ups to make sure my eyes are coping with the continuous wear and to be honest, the only times I've had eye infections is with the ones I had to take in and out each day as there was more risk of me introducing something.

Thats what the optician said also cc a while back when offered them (and i went for glasses damn!)

I've been wearing my lenses for at least five years now and have never had an infection. Like creamcracker says as well, I would have thought the potential for infection was higher with daily wear ones as who knows what is on your fingers. I don't need to have mine checked that often either - once a year at the most.

Someone at my work had them and loved them. She also said the risk of infection was lower cos you are not touching your eyeball twice a day. I'm tempted to try them.

I wasn't allowed to wear them when I was pregnant, I had mine through D&A, can't remember why!

Could it not just be a pregnancy headache, I had lots when I was pregnant with DD? I also had really sensitive sinuses etc

[lisnic]

I wouldnt say so booh as i have big red marks on my nose and as soon as glasses off it goes and its been ongoing for ages with frames they swapped them june but still got problem

Ill see what they say about them then thanks
