My question is this: What about Permalenses (or other gas-permeables) as opposed to other soft or semi-soft lenses. I would appreciate any info you could give me concerning comfort, EASE OF CARE (I'm very lazy), longevity, etc. Also, if you recommend a certain type of lenses, prices, cookers vs. chemicals for cleaning, fragility (i.e., will they disintigrate if hairspray or something gets in my eyes), etc. would also be very nice. Plez reply to me by mail unless you feel that a lot of people would be interested. If you would like a report of my results on lens preferences posted to net.med, say so in your mail and I will do so if interest warrants -- otherwise you will get your own copy via electronic mail.
