RE: Another OT

I'm surprised no one mentioned that to me with all the trouble I had with
trying contacts.  I didn't even think to question the solution.  The eye
doctor told me the reaction was to the materials the lenses were made from.
Hmmmmmmmmm....

I don't know what I'd do if I had to use lined tri-focals.  I went with the
no-line progressives right off the bat because my kids would have never let
me live down going to bi or tri-focal glasses. LOL!!!  They didn't know for
years that I'd made the switch!

Blessings,

Bonnie, 

I am sure with all your allergies, you were also reacting to the
preservative in the solution. The one main benefit of contacts is your
eyes don't get worse as you can not look around or out of the corrected
vision area.

I switched to what they call progressive tri-focals. They are
wonderful... no tilting your head to see something.... Although I still
do find myself taking off my glasses to read really fine print, can see
close great, just don't ask me to read a street sign without my glasses
on :)
