Scripted Branded Sunnies

Once you’ve tried contacts you’ll never go back to glasses – I wouldn’t dream of flying in anything else!!!

I used to wear contacts when I were a boy. However, I soon discovered that when one is drunk, it is far easier to take glasses off than try to take out lenses (mine were daily wear soft lenses at the time which you couldn’t leave in while asleep)! Also, glasses hide the bags under my eyes! 😀

Doesn’t that get a bit chilly?

Yup I have AJ. Janet (my optometrist) and I faffed about all one afternoon recently finding that one brand were too narrow but vision was okay but second brand fitted better but left me vidually cross-eyed (worse than natural). Lot of effort for little gain on both sides. 🙁

What kind of vision do you have? Unless you have a complex prescription it shouldn’t be too much hassle to find a pair of contact lenses for you. I wouldn’t give up on that idea yet – maybe even go to another optician and get a second opinion. The big stores like Spec Savers/Boots have all the latest advances in contact lenses that smaller places don’t always have. It’s worth a try.

I suspect that the ‘spare spectacles for lens wearers” rule in this case is primarily to do with making sure you can get home safely after an enforced stop.

In the old days of hard contact lenses it was not unknown for a lens to pop out completely during use. I always wondered what you were supposed to do with the spectacles? Poke the other lens out before putting them on?

Cant remember full price off the top of my head but as they were just standard lenses was around £25 on top…still OK for flying the old spam can with no probs!!

You are also obliged to carry a spare spare of specs even if wearing contacts as per licence…

Have you thought of contact lenses?

May I ask if you carry or are required to carry glasses as a backup, when wearing contacts?
