I know they'll say not to anyway, but they might give a reason and it might give you something to at least look out for

Personally I wouldn't use dailies repeatedly... in the short term in may not apparently do any damage to your eyes, but in the long term you could be building up protein deposits which then brings the capillaries out to supply more oxygen, which then can lead to infection. Obviously this is an extreme case, but for something as important as my eyes I wouldn't risk it. £1300 over 5 years isn't much really though is it? £260 a year is not really worth risking your eyes is it?

There are a lot of soft lenses which work for people with dry eyes, some hard lenses work for people too have you ever tried them? Semi permeable ones may help you, and if anything just carry some eye drops on you - you can get this little capsules that fit in your pocket, purse, handbag which really help revitalise your eyes if ever they go dry.

I seldom use contacts except for nights out, sports and summer holidays.

Don't skimp on looking after your eyes Dee it's not worth it!

Oh...I have heard such bad things about hard contacts. My mom and dad both had them when they were younger (my whole family needs glasses or contacts) and they are both so much happier with soft ones. I think it would be hard to go from comfortable contacts to hard ones, but it IS cheaper.
