Contact lens problem.

[tigger2004]

Boots optician on queens road might have some. Asda are pretty good and theres also tesco. Maybe a smaller company like martyn kemp might have some. Theres optical express in meadowhal too. Id get a phone book and ring them someone might have some or get some in 48 hours fingers crossed!

most opticions who sell contacts will haveloads of trial lenses or go in and ask for a weeks or months supply of throw away contacts what you should do like i did was always have a spare pair of glasses for occasions like your in, try specs direct on the internet you can get cheap specs and contacts bit late now for christmas good look

:confused:do not think any main optician would let anybody have contact lenses without proof of up to date contact lense check .Very iresponsable Your only chance is internet

Put your prescription details on forum see if any other wearer has any

Gas permeable - didnt realise they still did those - used to have them myself and my goodness I wouldnt go back to them.

 

Try specsavers hun but i cant see many opticians stocking the gas permeable lenses in as they are so out dated now.

 

Maybe it might be an opportunity to try the softer lenses - much more comfortable to wear imo.

 

Good luck though and hope you get sorted one way or another

Spider- you read too much into this without trying to make sense of it. first tell me would you go to an optician and spend 15.pounds on a contact lense check to find they didnt have the ones you want in stock? Thought not best thing to do is to ring and check they do them before having a check done with them! Simples! Obviously not to you though

Y0u know as well as me you are not going to get G P lenses at such a late date ; I am sure you could get some kind of soft lenses of the shelf . I wore G P lenses for 25 yrs and they told me soft lenses would not work with my type of prescription ..What a load of rubbish now been wearing soft lenses for 10 years There has been vast improvement in soft lenses and it carries on improving every month

Was told exactly same thing 2 yrs ago that 'soft lenses would not work with my type of prescription' - not wanting to give name but they are in Meadowhell with initials V. E., something like Image Rapid.

 

Not been back since but had no problems at all with soft lenses.

hi i wear acuvue moist at the moment I went to asda for yearly check up and every thing was fine .They asked me if i would mind tryling a new lense acuvue True Eyes and giving my opinion on them gave me a months supply free . I beleve this is a promotion by acuvue . Ask your supplier if you you would like to try them
