I did have to buy the whole year's worth at one time - sorry if that was confusing - four pairs total - supposed to use one pair per quarter but the doc even agreed that I could stretch that out.

I am learning more tricks as I wear them - after using Clear Care, I soak them in Opti-Free solution (maybe 30 minutes) before I put them in. Also use GenTeal Gel Drops before putting them in - really helps with comfort. They get more comfortable every time I wear them.

Wore them the other day to work - vision is really great! I am amazed! I had almost given up on bifocal contacts - I am EXTREMELY nearsighted - with astigmatism, history of retinal detachment, dry eyes, age.........
