Contact Lense People

[/////AMG]

Lets say you have your contacts in and you want to take them off, do you put in new solution in your case thingy every time you take your contact off (obviously after washing them)?

Just wondering because I know a few people who don't, they do it like every week, if even that! And I find it... dirty. I'm also thinking of only changing it after I've worn them twice (saves me more soluton cause they're pricey as fuck).

I hope some of that made sense :rofl:

[Ripper]

Everytime... but for the last 2 years I've been wearing ones you can leave in 24/7.

[?????]

I change it everytime too.


Ripper - So when do you take off your contacts? Every week?

[l8braker]

i usually wear glasses, but have the contacts for special occasions... couldn't ever imagine not changing the solution every time! :eek:

[infected]

Everytime, I rather be clean than sorry.

[abyss]

everytime, I've had a couple of eye infections and they suck big time. Why sacrifice the opportunity to wear your contacts because you were too cheap and/or lazy to change the solution. What solution do you guys all use? I like Complete, but curious if there's anything better out there.

Everytime, it's just part of the routine. Open, Dump, Rinse, Fill, Remove, Cap, Done.

[KLCC]

I have bi-monthly, but I put in new solution everytime I am done with them.....I can't afford to be sloppy with my eye....

[86max]

Whenever I start noticing a lot of floaties :)

lol
Naw, usually after 2 uses for me, don't really see a need to do it every day. Never had a problem in 7 years.

[AsianCaucasian]

I change it every single time... but I don't rinse it, I wonder what damage that's doing to my eyes lol.

[bigboom]

change it all the time...why risk anything with your eyes?

When I wore contacts, the solution was changed after one use.

[seer_claw]

I change it everytime that I use my contacts. I couldn't imagine what decides to grow in there when its just left sitting.

And to save money I was talking to my optomitrist and he said that the solution is still good even after the expiry date, so I buy the twin packs with the big bottles. Usually lasts me the better part of a year. :thumbsup:

Ripper - So when do you take off your contacts? Every week?

I take them out once a month for 30 seconds while a put a fresh set in. The Doc says some people like to take theirs out once a week or month for a day or so to refresh their eyes but I don't feel the need.

Theres a couple brands that my optomistrist (sp) carries that are for 24/7 use. I've been on them for 2 years, and my dad as well and have had zero problems. We've converted a few people who like them as well. If you have sensitive eyes though you would probably need to take them out more often.

do u wear a pair for 30 days, then throw them out? or do u remove, clean and reuse? are they more expensive than regular disposable?

After 30 days I just put them in a case and use as emergency backup (but I've never used an emergency backup, so essentially I trash them).

I think they are a little bit more, but to be honest I have no idea. The brand I wear is called 'PureVision'.

:thumbsup: Yea I do it daily aswell. I use Complete too (best solution ever). But I've just ran out of it and had to buy this stupid UK crap which is $15/bottle and one bottle is 250ml where as my Complete bottle is 473ml and about $8.

I like Compete aswell cause when my eyes feel like shit after I've taken my contats out I use it as eye drops and they feel so much better.

How often do you lot change your contact case aswell? They have these weird ones here, so it' sbeen like 1.5+ years since I have chaged mine :banghead: :

(those two on the right are cases):nut:

When I visit Calgary I'm going to goto Superstore ot Costo and buy like 5 years worth of solution haha. :clap: :thumbsup:

[Gurpy]

I change the solution daily......but like someone else said, by the end of the month (they're recommended 2 week use, but who actually does that?) I CAN'T wait to change it, it's like, the highlight of the month.
