If you are planning to use crizal, be prepared for the increase in eye power.
Soon after one month crizal use, my power increased by 0.75.(it was constant from last 5 years)
I would just like to know if it is safe. I am worried like many other items infused with chemicals that we will find out years from now it is not healthy for the eyes.
