At first I'd like to say I'm really happy to finally get rid of the suffering.
What is the validity of these lenses, are they two years or 5 years or how long are they valid?
I hope you'll answer me and thank you in advance.

The information in this video was useful but did not address the primary questions listed in the beginning of the video; specifically, how to insert and remove these lenses.

Hi doctor we don't have to put it in clear care? Hydrogen peroxide?

I seen one claiming you need special solution as regular multipurpose solution can chemical burn your eyes with scleral lenses. Is this true or just crazy? Makes no sense to me I guess

[silaslongshot]

Yeah, not gonna work for me. I can't stand even a speck of dust in an eye, never mind these cereal bowls that can be $1000 or more for EACH eye! Have a bad case of monocular diplopia caused by ptosis (droopy eyelids) that these "might" help with. But no, can't deal with something rigid this size!

Biotrue is not approved for RGP lenses, how can this so called expert not know that?
