Positive press for contact lenses

It's been a bad few weeks for contact lenses in the national media following a rash of infection stories. There was better news this weekend when the Mail revealed that drinking contact lens solution saved the life of 18 year old Sam Woodhead the gap year student who decided to go for a yomp in the Australian outback.

The hapless youngster got lost in the bush and survived by drinking contact lens solution, the only liquid to hand. So what was his tipple of choice? A cheeky bottle of renu? Perhaps some Boots house or a Sauflon MPS? No, the poor lad had three months' worth of daily disposables on him ( looked like Focus Dailies from the newspaper) and he had to open them one at a  time to get the fluid out.
