Are Boston Eo Obsolete?

I've heard that Boston EO contacts are no longer being produced because they can cause damage to the cornea over the long term. I don't want to start any rumors so I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me if this is true or not.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I did a search and didn't come up with anything. If it was a big deal I think it would be easier to find information on it. I wouldn't worry about it.

If this was the case then more information would probably be much more readily available. Searching for it would yield immediate results.

Not according to the company, not at this time. What the article was originally talking about is people are not be counseled by the dispensing optician that they are not for sleeping in and they must be removed daily and be cleaned.
Many at places like lenscrafters, walmart, etc are being given the lenses and sent on their way, only to have complications alter on.
what they are doing is creating more complete user handbook, YO can check with the Boston company anytime at their toll free number and they can tell you whats up with all their lenses.

Yeah, get your prescription from your doctor and then order them from Lens.com. You're already on the right page, just go the the red rectangle at the top of the page and make sure you've got your prescription at the ready.
