Contacts

OK, so last weekend I am out doing my usual weekend errands. One of which was trying to find my contact lens solution, called Complete.

So, I look at Wal-mart, Zellers, two different Shoppers stores and can't find it. I think this is bizarre, since these are all major retail outlets and they should carry it.

So, later that night I am on the internet and decide to Google the name of the solution. Up comes these stories of this solution being being recalled back in May. Mean while I have been using it for months and had no idea anything was wrong with it. Turns out some people have been having serious eye infections and I guess they all used the Complete solution, so the company voluntarily pulled it from the shelves, hence the problem finding any.

I couldn't believe I had not heard about this. So I contact my eye doctor and of course they recommend you discontinue use and throw out your lenses.

So, I am now using this Opti-Free stuff, which my doctor gave me a starter kit of. I have to say though, my eyes feel horrible. They don't feel the same with this new solution. I am hoping my eyes will adjust, but geez I kind of wish I could go back to the Complete stuff.

I am hoping the Complete solution will come back at some time, after of course they figure out what happened.

Meanwhile I am on the cancellation list for my eye doctor for an appointment, otherwise they are booking into November.
