I'm Currently Feeling:  | I get mine from a local optician Yates and Suddell and they will give me my 6 month supply after I have either a Contact lens check or an eye test (all covered in my monthly payments). Its great coz I know my eyes are still healthy. |

I've ordered a stack of Acuvue but I might try a different brand next time. |

Acuvue fit quite differently to a lot of other lenses and swopping without proper check with different type could cause a lot of problems.
Any half decent website should check with your optician that all your checks are up to date and verify the specifications & type of lens you are ordering. They are actually breaking the law if they don't! |
