From the start I had no considerable vision from my left eye. I brought this to the Dr.'s attetion and he sadi it was just getting used to the lense. I went back for yearly visit and nothing had changed I still had no vision in left eye. He made an adjustment still no success. I went back showing lenses from a local lab that had chunks out of them. They replaced them but brushed off all my concerns about the missing piece of lenses. I was told they are morefragile than hard lenses( of which for 30 years no breakage) and I must have held them improperly while installing.Second set of lenses (at 2 months) became extremely uncomfortable. I finally had to remove and found chunks out of them as well. Kosher?
