Thank you for answering my question. It's nice to get feedback on sites like this.
I have a question for tippersteffi1, who said "The very first pair I had I ripped within 5 days...I think it was because I am a first time user and it was taking me about 20 trys to place in my eyes. " How long ago was this? Are you having an easier time putting your PureVision Multi-Focals in? I hope you can insert them more easily that I can type "PureVision Multi-Focals." One has a capital letter in the middle of the name and the other has a hyphen! |

They are the PureVision Multi-Focals and yes it is much easier. These were my first contacts. I bought a $3 magnifying mirror from Target that has a stand so that I can actually see what I am doing when putting the contact in. The first 3-4 days it was taking me about 20 minutes per eye, so I handled the right one which ripped on Day 5 probably 70-80 time during that period. It folded up and or would turn inside out, I even once put it on inside out. I was told that I would get used to it and I finally did with the help of that mirror. Anyway I can now get them in pretty much the first time.

That mirror idea is great. That will probably help scores of Lens 101 readers. I'm glad you got the contact lens thing figured out. I think I would have given up after that disastrous Day 5. Good for you for sticking with it. |

Tipper is fine...I told my doctor about the mirror and she said she was going to recommend it to future first time contact users. The bottom line is that if you cannot see what your are doing then you are probably not going to be able to do it.

I've heard it suggested that you position the mirror below you so that if for some reason you drop the lens it will land on the mirror and you can find it more easily. What do you think of that idea?

I like your mirror idea. I hope other people find it useful as well. |

Were they just thicker, or were they different in other ways too? |

Maybe, but according to my Google search lenses that were made of a combination of glass and plastic were first introduced in 1936. The article didn't say how long it was before the glass lenses were phased out completely. By 1980, though, I don't think anyone was still wearing glass lenses.
The 80's featured parachute pants, mullets and colorful sunglasses, but I don' think glass contact lenses were around any more. |

Let's see . . . Wikipedia . . . Yup. H2SO4 is sulfuric acid. Now you know. So what are H2Os then? |

You've done well, Tipper. Your mirror idea is going to help some of your doctor's other patients. You should buy yourself a hot fudge sundae or something to celebrate.
