All good Fun
n I refer to your article headed ÔGOC affirms aim to regulate plano CL salesÕ (News, July 5).
While we are delighted and flattered that the picture which accompanies the article features the Cog lens from our own range of Fun Lenses, I would like to take the opportunity to make it abundantly clear that all our lenses are available exclusively through registered practitioners and that this fact is also clearly stated on our website.

Corneal abrasion
n Apropos Brian ArielÕs question ÔWhy does a corneal abrasion cause photophobia?Õ (optician, June 28), this is to say that this may be attributable to the exposure of nerve-endings.
However, more than photophobia, there is blepherospasm, which is relieved with the instillation of local anaesthetic drops, such as exylocaine.
