  If astig is up to 200 deg, still have but not cheap. Maybe consider monthly disposable?

  But really must stick wif d 4-6 hrs rule..i kena before.. sting like hell n took lenses out but eyes sting for a few hrs..

  need to soak for at least 6 hours. cos the metal disc need to react with all the hydrogen peroxide in the solution. in layman terms: need to neutralise the solution lah. it will turn the soultion into saline at PH 6.5 which is the closest to that of natural tears. and most of all it has no preservatives! so much more comfortable!
  i just tried it. does not sting my eyes as compared to the multi purpose solutions that i used previously.
  and it has been proven that hydrogen peroxide cleans better than other chemicals. the reason y not many people use it is i think cos of the price.
  $14 for one bottle.
  
  cheers!!
