| Several dumb questions | 03 Dec 2006 03:16 GMT | 18 |

I tried "poly" lenses 5 years ago and found them uncomfortable, so my lenses were switched to "plain plastic" and I've had no issues. I opted for new frames after a recent exam (same Rx) and went for Silhouettes. I was told that only poly lenses can be used in them. I reminded the
