Bubble Power

I've been a long-time wearer (and lover) of contact lenses, going back to when I was in high school. I much prefer wearing them to my glasses, especially when it's really sunny out and I need sunglasses. For the last few months, I've been having a problem with my left eye, so I've been wearing my glasses more and more, but with our vacation fast approaching (5 days!), I wanted to make sure I'm able to comfortably wear my beloved contacts. Yesterday, I called my optometrist's office and asked what they recommend these days for cleaning soft lenses, seeing as I've done the same thing for as long as I can remember. The assistant told me that they recommend something called Clear Care, and told me to come by and get a box. As soon as I saw it, it brought back memories of Aosept, which I'd used for years. Well, I read the instructions (including some pretty bold and red warnings about not getting the solution in your eyes before it's had time to neutralize - point taken!), and gave it a whirl last night. WOW! This morning, it was like the lenses were brand new. I successfully and comfortably wore them all day, taking them out just now to take a picture of them bubbling away in their case. Clear Care, where have you been all my life?
