I don't wear contact lenses. The eye drops I was referring to were put in
during
a routine eye test when I was aged about eight, so I'm pretty sure there was
thimerasol in those. BTW I thought they no longer used thimerasol in contact
lens solutions? I can date my extreme sensitivity to light to those drops!
