    apparently higher prescriptions should be available fairly soon (they are up to -10 in America)and they are hopeful this will happen sooner rather than later here.

    Oh my eyes are worse than -10 lol.. not much wors, but not much better either, still if they've improved them up to -10, hopefully it won't be long before they get to my prescription.

    I am sure it wont be long before you can get them - I would think that once they get going on the development they progress quite quickly. Hope it works out for you eventually - its such a brilliant product and I think you will be impressed once you try them. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

    Tried my first pair today. Very happy with them, especially for the price. Were just as good as my old Acuve contacts and so much more cheaper!!

    Not too keen on the lens packaging though, but can't have everything.

    Huge thanks to the OP for the heads up.

    Thanks, your sentiments are greatly appreciated :)

    I think it mentions somewhere that if your current lenses are not listed, then you can email them with you lens details. They are quick with replies too, which is always a bonus :)

    Love the price....hate the packaging!
  • I'm afraid I have to post a negative one - I normally use Focus Dailies and have never had any problems with them at all. However, with these lenses I am constantly aware that they are on my eye and find them very uncomfortable. very quick service and cheap for those that they suit, they just don't seem to be for me. :(

    Just thought I'd post some more info on the Orthok lenses.
    My local optician charges £150 initial fee and then £35 per month (which includes all lenses and aftercare).

    This is less than the other one posted above so not all are the same price. It's more expensive than other lenses but not a huge amount.
