rarely take them out. Once a month to enzyme them,
soak overnite, then back in. My doctor feels that
taking the lenses out and putting back in puts more strain
on the eyes, so over the last twenty five years, I've almost continually
had lenses in. He really was good at fitting them though.
He maintained the eyesight of military pilots, so that they could
keep flying. He didn't believe in soft lenses at all, or glasses.
As soon as a child is old enough, he would get them into RGP lenses.
