Last night took my lenses out as normal and my wife witnessed me put both lenses in the case.

Come this morning and the left lens is not in its case

Frantic searching to no avail but fortunatly I have some experiemntal soft lenses we didn't have time to try at my last visit

Come to the conclusion the tooth fairy is nicer, at least she leaves money when she takes a tooth

Come the weekend I'll know if one of the three lenses for the left eye works and which of the two right ones work. Unfortunatly due to the lens development I won't be able to give anything beyond did a lens work or not.

The strange mystery of Gareth's Lens: there's the Flannan Islands Light House, The Marie Celeste and now ... another mystery.

Oh no!

Has anything else gone missing in your house?

Do things go 'bump' in the night?

All the best with your new experimental lenses.

Andrew

Do you think Ken nicked it?!

Hmmm...

You know, the situations are different... tooth fairies have a good deal.. tooth falls out... you put it under your pillow and hey presto... money changes hands...

Contact lenses... well! Thing is you can't find 'em to put under your pillow.... darn things get into the most weird places...

Years ago, when most people wore RGPs, the most usual way of losing your lenses after a hard night on the razzz was: you crash out at someone's place, think "Uhh I ought to take my lenses out" wonder where you could put them.. decide, cleverly, to put them in two small glasses of water by your side...

later that night some other person would get a raging thirst and say,." Ahhh glass of water.. cool!.." and whoosshh! lenses gone!

The number of times I heard that tale....

Wouldn't have minded if I'd put the lens under my pillow.

The fact is the lens was I its case next to its friend in the same place in the bathroom over night where I have always left my lens case for the past 5 years all ready for the next day.

The contact lens fairy is nothing but a common thief

Did you drink any Red Bull? Maybe your lens developed wings...

RGP's have an incredible knack of being 5 miles away from where you drop it, it's like they have warp speed

Hehehe!! Sorry Gareth but this was funny and reminded me of all the places I have lost a lens!!

I just wanted to say that it wasn't me!!! I am a pink fairy but I don't tend to go around collecting contact lenses!!!

Really daft one for you to check but it isnt stuck to the top of the case is it? that does depend on the case you use - hubby suggested this and uses the flat cases.

I use the vertical lens case but noticed the other day that my soft lens was part way through the gap between the main structure and the flip down section (I cant explain it any better tonight ). had it been any further out it would have been out of the secure section and in the fluid and lost to me.

i guess it depends on the lenses and cases you use.

Checked the whole lens case, my cases are the small well type, sperate solution for each lens.

My wife checked the case and even checke the other cases in case of some bizare act of sleep walking and switching cases round.

I do at least have a lens that functions but my friendly optom is yet to find out which
