Ill be honest Trev i only wear them extended when i either forget to take them out or im fishing and cant get clean enough hands to remove them over night. I'd rather put them in after they have been soaking over night.

When you have worn a pair out and finnished with them have you put them to one side to see what happens to them?

My continuous lenses arrived today.
I`ve had the trial pair in for just over 3 weeks. They were not quite up to my prescription, but were good enough to test them out.

I`ve just put a new pair in now and they should stay in 24/7 for the next 30 days.

They`re ok so far. My eyes go a bit wonky sometimes in the evenings.
Specsavers call them "Easyvision AquaEyes". They are rebranded Ciba vision Air Optix Aqua 'Night and Day".

Here`s some bumf

AirOptix Night & Day Aqua is the replacement lens for Air Optix Night and Day and like that lens, is designed to be worn continuously for up to 30 nights and days.

Airoptix Night & Day Aqua is made from a breakthrough material, Lotrafilcon A, which makes sleeping in lenses much safer again. The special ingredient which makes the lens so permeable is siloxane, not water, and this allows up to 6 times more oxygen to the cornea than standard soft lenses, making it a healthier option compared to lenses that let less oxygen through to your eye. The patented lens material helps to maintain moisture by minimising the rate of lens dehydration, creating an all day comfortable lens. In addition, an ultra smooth surface has been specifically designed to resist deposits so that your lenses stay clean and comfortable day after day.

A light blue handling tint and inversion indicator has been included to help with handling and insertion

Well that was a quick month!...time to change lenses.

John these continuous lenses are not comfy when you first put them in. They feel hard for a few minutes, then you forget about them. Maybe I should soak them for a few minutes first?

edit...Just realised that was a daft thing to say coz they come soaked in their packets :lol
