cheers Roughy, I still have them in their box so might have another crack, is there a use by date with contacts?
Mine are the daily disposals and costs me about £1 a pair. I just wear them a few times a week, and bulk buy perhaps every 18 months or so. Never had a "best before" or "use buy" problem. They definitely do take practice though - most opticians will give you 5 pairs free as a trial. By the time you get to the fifth pair you would expect to be reasonably adept at putting them in. Even now though, 15 years on, I occasionally make a mess of it and spend 10 minutes prodding my eyeball with my finger. Different brands are slightly different sizes, shapes and thickness so if you really don't get on with one, it s worth trying another.
I had always bought from my opticians, until I realised you could get them online from reputable supermarket websites at half the price. Worth sticking with your local optician to begin with though.
