has anyone tried those contact leanses that correct your eyes while you are asleep?

do they work well, are they expensive? just wondering if they might be worth a try.

I know someone who seems v happy with them.Don't know about the price. This was a thread about them some time ago.

Hunker is the evangelical one about these.

I had them and hated them. I had the ones you change once a month. Wore them for a year (not the same pair!), but it was real perseverance. I kept getting iritis(inflammation of the iris, light sensitivity, can lead to blindness) . My optician and opthalmic consultant who treated me said it was nothing to do with the contacts but when I stopped wearing them , the trouble cleared up. And they made my eyes very dry so I took them out anyway, and also for swimming a couple of times a week. they really put me off all sorts of contacts, and I am back with specs now.

A friend's daughter wears them and loves them, apparently they are big in the US and Australia. DD (9) wears daily contacts and we were considering the night ones for her (might not do it though because of tightened budget!). You can't do it if your prescription is too strong though.

Ooops, didn't read OP properly, I didn't have those type of contacts. The ones I had were just ordinary ones that you slept in.

thanks for the answers.they do sound good.

BIL uses them and finds them excellent, he's been using them for a couple of years and hasn't had any problems. I think they are pretty expensive though.

Yes, I wear them. They're fab. I also have some cleaning stuff for them where I just bung them into some solution, drop a tablet in and it fizzes them clean - no rubbing.
