My biggest problem with dailies (other than the hand hygiene) is that I find that my eyes dry out uncomfortably after so many hours wear so I have to take them out early in the evening. I don't need my glasses in the confines of the tent, which then leaves me in a blurred world when I go outside. Conversely, waking up and immediately being able to see clearly is fantastic.<br /><br />Continuous wear may not be the lightest option for an extended trip (when I will take a 100ml bottle of solution, a pot and my glasses), but I wouldn't like to go back.<br /><br />(stopping now, because I really could rave on at some length here!<br />Okay - just one more thing - I went to the optician to enquire about continuous wear the week before I set off on a 2 week backpacking trip. He fitted the lenses and told me to return in 2 weeks. When I explained what I was about to go and do he had no problem extending it to three weeks - so I ended up with a free contact lens trial for the whole of our English coast to coast walk, which was an excellent trial given my reason for wanting them in the first place. Same ploy could work equally well for the TGOC.)Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694505809435969577.post-47497346482130052182011-01-04T09:05:49.158+00:002011-01-04T09:05:49.158+00:00I wear daily contacts and although I don't hav...I wear daily contacts and although I don't have the cleaning faff, I still have the taking in and out faff, carrying glasses/prescription sunglasses and a wad of contacts. I hadn't thought of looking at this option, but actually, perhaps I should consider it.
