Re: Any opticians here?
You do get excellent peripheral vision, all in focus. Without them I would struggle to ride my bike. I've had them for a year now. I have daily ones which you wear for a day and then throw away. Acuvue, is the brand and they are very soft and wet. Mine are not a straightforward prescription and I pa...

Re: 3 Stage or 2 Stage Overtake?
