Contact lenses and LARPing

[sobrique]

Well, I've signed up for some daily disposable lenses. Which is nice.
Was looking for some advice from people who use lenses already. How do you 'deal' with them in a camping/LRP environment?

Also keep a few mini bottles of eyedrops with you, to keep the eyes hydrated and the contacts wet. Dust and smoke make contacts very dry and sore

But make sure you buy the (expensive) ones that are specifically suitable for use with contact lenses!

The silly question would be where these are acquired? Opticians? Boots? Somewhere else?

Tesco will quite happily sell your their own brand (as well any other supermarket or the like). Just read the packet as it will say somewhere if they're suitable for use with contacts or if they're not (it will say one way or the other).

Any decent pharmacy.

I use Allergan Refresh Contacts.

They come in handy 0.4ml vials. When wearing my lenses I always have one in my pocket.
