I wear daily disposables, so at the end of the day I can toss 'em and open a new pair in the morning.

Thats great, but when they don't tell anyone exactly what #'s were affected anyone could be using a infected bottle.

I wear my glasses when I fly. The contacts start feeling dry in the airplane and get a little hazy. When I wear the contacts I use that Target brand stuff. Its cheap and works great. I know a lot of people who use that ReNu stuff

Another Target brand user here. I used to use the Opti-Free no-rub, but the Target stuff is more or less exactly the same. I own a pair of glasses and wear them when I'm too lazy to put my fingers in my eyes.

I wear glasses 80% of the time and wear my contacts 20% of the time.

Contacts 100% of the time...Terrible I know. Can't wait to get a double hit from the laser.

Thanks for the heads up on the fungus.

If anyone hasnt tried Optix contacts I highly recomend them. Best contacts ever, a little pricey but worth the comfort.

figures i use this solution.

don't get lasik, an acquaintence of mine just found out a few days ago that she has permanent damage in her eyes and has a good chance of going blind in both in the next ten years. it must suck to be 40 years old and know that you have most of your life in front of you and you'll be blind for most of it. just doesn't seem like it's worth it.
