Good luck with the exams, hope you are very near the end and can relax like many of my friends.

Exam time is the only time I am glad I am not back at Uni.

Thanks all, the exam went alright today, first paper was fairly straightforward, second was quite tricky.... Oh well, two more to go.. biology and chemistry.

As for my eyes, they are feeling alot better today. Still a little bit sore and tired, but I will keep trying out wearing one lens. I recieved my new lenses from the clinic today too, so hopefully they should help.

It may be an idea to get hold of Systane and used that in teh affected eye a few times a day...it can only help

Yeh, I think I am going to try it. I haven't actually seen it in the shops before, but I will check in my opticians. If not there, I found the link for Postoptics in another thread, and will try ordering it from there.

Systane is good if you have problesm with the quality of tears your produce.

Many do fine with an all purpose wetting type artificail tears such as Blink by Amo.

It may be trial and error to find what suits you best.

Just backing of the lens wear appears to have made a big differnace.

I always found biology a doddle, was usless at chemistry. Lot better now though since being able to get practical experience, now make my living form that.

All the best.

Well thats biology over- one more to go! :D
I bought some eye drops, and I have to say it has made my contact lens wear much easier. So thanks for all the advice.

Sorry, I didn't notice your post asking me what year I am in. I'm going into 6th year after the exams in June. Not entirely sure what I want to do yet... I am interested in dentistry or maybe medicine.

All the best with that, Arampal.

Scotland has some fine dental and medical schools .. Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen and Glasgow each has a world class school in both disciplines.

Meantime I guess you still have highers and advanced highers to which you have to attend.

It could be worse. It could be me!
