I just some "gas permeable" lenses (which is by now a misnomer). One of my previous doctors had asked if I'd ever heard of keratoconus. This refers to a conical shape of a cornea. I asked him what the treatment was. He said rigid/gas perm lenses, which will tend to flatten them. My most recent prescription was with another doctor, and I requested gas perm lenses. I got the lenses and a starter kit. I was very pleased. These lenses have a coating that allows me to not have to do daily cleaning and enzyming. The starter kit was a single bottle of Alcon Unique pH. It is no longer in stores, and the Alcon website says it has been discontinued due to declining gas perm usage worldwide. I tried Optimum by Lobab Labs, and it burned the fire out of my eye when I put the lens in. It seems you must rinse with a different solution. Other wearers say they hate the Boston system. Is there a replacement that doesn't require rinsing or more steps? Users just rave about Unique pH on the 'Net.
