Now having read my story, some of you will doubtless say I am very daft, and I wouldn't disagree.
I was having lots of trouble with my hybrid (soft edge hard centre) RGP lenses, in terms of tolerence and getting huge regular, really nasty headaches.
Then like a bolt of lightening from the sky it occured to me what I'd been doing wrong. Being a bit of a skinflint, I was using my lens solution (Boston Simplus i think) for 2-3 nights at a go. it suddenly occured to me that this was a really, really, really bad idea.
I started changing the solution every single night and making sure I cleaned the lenses really carefully...just taking that extra couple of minutes to make sure I'd done it well.
I've even started making sure that at the first sign of tension in my eye, I pop the lenses out, give them a clean with the Boston, and off to go!!
This new routine kicked in just before Christmas, and do you know what?? I'm back to wearing lenses for 12-16 hours a day, and I've hardly had a headache at all. It is most liberating.
I can't believe what a fool I was for several years, putting up with so many headaches and plenty of pain in the eye.
So to the reason for my confessing all on here, is it strikes me I cannot be the only one to have done this...if you are struggling like I was, in my experience it's all down to being ruthless with the cleaning and using fresh solution every evening. Never mind any small extra expense, it's made a hell of a difference to me.
Cheers all!!
