Glasses, contacts, eyecare

That's a great product. In the States, the name of that product is Clear Care, which is a product that my boss (optometrist) highly recommends over the multipurpose solutions.

Good to know :mrgreen: :victory:
Unfortunately itLs one of the most expensive ones in Europe :shamefulcry: which reminds me of my usual rant. I find it really unfair that everything around eyesight is incredibly expensive: from frames to glasses to cleaning products. I am sure I could buy a new car with the money I have spend so far on my eyes.

That's why I fashioned my own pair of glasses from the clear plastic windows that come on envelopes such as bills that show your home address....much cheaper...and lighter, too.

Way back, I remember seeing a person who fashioned sunglasses from developed 35mm color film (orange/brown tint). :hehe:

Just remember to use unexposed developed film: trying to see through exposed negatives is a bit difficult. :beaten:

It's a conspiracy between eye doctors and manufacturers of glasses and eyecare stuff. They know they have you over a barrel because you can't do without the stuff - you need your eyes to be functioning at their best.

Heh, more like a sleeping mask. :sweat:

What'll they think of next:

An eyewear maker launched sales of a new pair of glasses that fog up if the wearer doesn't blink for over five seconds. The glasses are intended to protect a person's eyes from getting tired while staring at computer screens for extended periods of time.

^ LOL.

If they're asleep, I don't think they'd notice the fogged lenses. :hehe:

This has got to be one of the most annoying inventions ever! I just tried blinking every 5 seconds and got frustrated. :beaten:
