[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 430862, member: 1991"] We don't have coupons like that here. We do get the TV guide in the Sunday paper, it's really annoying when it's missing. Step, I can't use the commercial saline, it has preservatives in it and my eyes react badly. So I either buy ampoules of saline (they're plastic, not glass) or I make my own (*gasp, shock*). I use triple-filtered water (we have a filter system on one tap, our water supply has too much chlorine in it, I hate the taste) which I boil, then I add 9 g of cooking salt (plain sodium chloride) to one litre of boiled water. Keep it sealed in a sterile, clean glass bottle. Don't worry about throwing away most of it, water and a tablespoon of salt is cheap. I have to rinse my contact lenses before I put them on, to get rid of any sterilising solution on them. Even new lenses - the saline they are in has preservatives. The eye drops (moisturising) also have preservatives. Most cosmetics ditto. Just about the only moisturiser I can use near my eyes, is pure cooking oil. Marg [/QUOTE]
