[pct-l] contacts revisted

Yogi,

Check out: http://consumerlawpage.com/article/lenses.shtml

My understanding is that Bausch & Lomb entered the disposable market  
by simply relabeling their regular contact lenses and selling them at  
different prices.  There was absolutely no difference between their  
extended wear and disposable lenses except for the label and the  
instructions for care.  I don't know what the situation is now, but I  
suspect that there is still little difference between a contact lens  
that you dispose of and one that you don't except that you have to  
clean and disinfect if you use them repeatedly.
