Way back last year I decided that enough was enough, it was time to stop paying a ridiculous amount of money each month to one optician and go to somewhere else much cheaper. Goodbye D&A and hello ASDA.

I had an eye test, got a new prescription and then began the process of finding the right lenses for my eyes. Both my eyes have an astigmatism in and getting the lenses to sit right was a fun experience However, after trial and error, that was sorted. I was about to be signed off, meaning I could bulk buy onlne and save a fortune, when a problem was discovered.

There is some damage occurring to my left eye, nothing serious, but enough to hold off on the sign off. Something at somepoint is causing a reaction in my eye. So for the past few months I have been trying a different cleaning solution and eye drops. I had hoped that this weekend the saga would be over, but nope.

I am now on a different type of lens and cleaning them in peroxide. I haven’t seen peroxide since I went through my albino goth phase in the 80′s. All being well this will show that something in the lens solution was causing a reaction in my eye. If not, I’ll need to go and see a specialist.
