germanium, thanks for that info. Wow, you have a lot of great information, more than I've gleaned from Ciba directly. Are you an employee?

Actually, I had tried cleaning the newer lenses with a hydrogen peroxide solution (Clearcare) overnight and rinsing with saline but there was not much improvement. I didn't try multiple cleanings but by that point it's getting ridiculous. If I'm allergic to a material then I need to stop using it.

FYI, I'm still in contact with CIBA and once a week I get an email from them and it's like we're starting all over, i.e. what seems to be the problem, can we talk to your doctor. Even after I've explained everything. Still no mailer to return the old product. Clearly this is a company with blinders on.
