8.2mm Base Curve, what you say does make sense, and thanks you for the
advice !
Is there another steep fitting disposable lens which might be able to

Any info/comment/suggestion/etc. about wearing soft contact lens on

appreciated.
Thanks.

I have been using Solamax Progressive lenses for the last two years and have
been reasonably satisfied with them. I am about to get new glasses and would
appreciate advice. The job I have requires me to sit a computer much of time
imputing information. Yet many times an hour I must ...

It is generally suggested to dry the hands on a towel before handling
contact lenses (after you have washed your hands, of course)
I don't usually do this because I think that the towel is often partly

The saga continues...  My mom's has cleared up after 3 weeks or so
(which leads me to believe that it was viral rather than bacterial) but
this morning there was crud in my left eye and the sclera and
conjunctiva are redder than the right eye.  Several hours later it looks

I previously tried wearing the Focus N&D lenses and the 8.6mm base
curve didn't fit at all, as a matter of fact, the lens slid all

One lens (plastic and coated) has a lot of very small scratches on it.  The
other is fine.  I've been very careful with my glasses - I use lots of
cleaner and only cotton to clean them. It might be the coating coming away.
The glasses are from lenscrafter who quoted me a whopping ...

I'm 67, and have just been told by my Opthamologist at a yearly checkup that
