ah contacts? how are they?

I wear day and night 30 day ones. Apparently they are not that comfortable and not many like them. I am also one of these that has a huge issue with anything touching my eyes. Ironically though I have no problem with my 30 day and night lenses

Hopefully they help my shin splints

Had to use lots of this after the British 10k:

They are supposedly very good, and let loads of oxygen through which is what you want. They are continuous wear ones, but I only wear them during the daytime (unless I fall asleep and forget)

I often use them for a bit longer than a month too and they are perfectly fine 

[JPC]

are they made and designed for night time too? If so i might give them a trial. Whats your prescription btw? I'm 1.25 in one eye and .75 in the other. can't remember which way. For the last month I haven't bothered with any to see what my eyesight was like. Im doing ok, but miss them for driving etc

Yes... but only up to 7 nights at a time I think. Im -5.00 and -5.50 so fairly blind.

Ha, that's nothing! I'm -8.50 and -7.50. I've worn Ciba Dailies for nearly 15 years now. They're excellent contact lenses.

Jesus guys, my missus is circa -1.75 (I think..) and I think she is nearly blind without lenses or glasses....

[rich83]

^^^ Thats nothing. I was -1.75 when I was about 10/11 years old. Wearing contact lenses was one of the best moves I ever made, just which i had started to use them earlier.

I used to have shin splints until I had gait analysis. Changed my running shoes and sorted problem

I would echo what Ian has said, get yourself a gait analysis and change your trainers!

That's a cracking price Billy 

I was looking at the GF1 a few years ago when it launched but it was quite a lot more than that I can tell you.

Great little Retro lumix cameras with some great lenses too

Hmmm, do they offer a macro close-up lens for that Lumix camera?

Leica glass is good
