I've been having an eye fitted for a toric RGP lens. It's needed several reviews for increasing the power. Cleaning it in the usual way has resulted in it breaking twice within 4 weeks. This kind of lens is thinner than the RGP for the other eye, its a bit bigger and much flatter. It's clear than co...

Thanks Anne, yes I've explored every single route, including gadgets. I actually use a lightweight mini size pair of pliers for the twist off caps!!! The Total Care conditioning solution is a better shape and less rigid plastic than Boston Advance. The Bausch & Lomb sensitive eyes saline used to...

Recurring tendinitis makes squeezing saline bottles especially hard. I've had to use Hypaclens pods, which costs me up to £500 per year.

I use the Bausch & Lomb sensitive eyes saline, the bottles work best for me with recurring tendinitis as other bottles hurt to squeeze.
B&L saline is being discontinued and I don't know what to do.
To use small 120ml or ampules would be very expensive.

Thank you
