His opinion was that it was overpriced and not that different than other gas permeable lenses. The key factor in contacts, according to him, is the quality with which they are ground. My contacts are from a small local manufacturer. On the other hand, the Boston solutions, both cleaning and conditioning (in other brands known as wetting), are much more comfortable than standard solutions. I will never switch back to any of the standard brands. The cleaning solution really cleans! You can even see the suds. And the conditioning solution really lubricates. It is slightly "oily" feeling, or actually more of a "gel" feeling. These solutions can be used with any type of hard lens, including all types of rigid gas permeable lenses. -- ************************************************************** Suzanne Barnett-Scott uucp: ...{decvax,ihnp4,noao,savax,seismo}!terak!suze phone: (602) 998-4800 us mail: CalComp/Sanders Display Products Division (Formerly Terak Corporation) 14151 N 76th street, Scottsdale, AZ 85260
