Bill Harvey: Memories of a free festival

It’s that time again where many of us drift into a field to escape the rigours of eye care and instead envelope ourselves in music and a range of eye health risk factors.

As a contact lens wearer, and indeed one who has previously suffered a microbial keratitis, my first dilemma is about lens wear. Despite the ubiquity of antiseptic hand wash at modern festivals, lens handling needs to be kept to a minimum. Daily disposables are the only route in my view, and the impressive acuity possible with modern multifocal designs available in a daily modality makes this a no-brainer.
