Stopped using them routinely after they changed the packaging to micro-blisters. This is because I found they changed the product. I tried them again recently as I wanted a new prescription and wanted cheap ones to tide me over. They are still bad. I went to my optician (who does not sell lenses any more and recommends buying online) with them in and he poked and pressed them on my eye and said they were very stiff and had very little give, this meant the tears would not flow under them very readily and he asked what brand they were, he said "well they are very very cheap, I will give them that - they are excellent value" He is right, these days it is like they are made of the shells of medicine capsules rather than hydrogel. Now I have to use BioTrue and these are twice as much money!
