Another superb niche Android product here, in the shape of Contact Lenses Reminder. It’s exactly that – a timetable that lets users stay on top of their daily lens quantity, keeping track of how many pairs you’ve got left and adjusting the total should you skip a day because your eyes hurt, or you can’t be bothered, or you won’t be doing anything today that requires proper focusing.
Here’s the app’s description:
“This app will tell you how much time left you have before throwing your contact lenses away. It will also send alerts when they need to be replaced. No more red eyes, dry eyes or infections because of wearing contact lenses for too long”
And the pics for you to squint at if you haven’t got yours in today:
We have to grudgingly admit that it might be of some use if you’re a regular wearer of “disposables” and in the habit of losing track of how many you have left. Niche, but possibly useful.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ May 18, 2010I’m the developer for this app. I’d like to first thank you for the article on my app.
I would like to make a correction to the use of the app. I will confess that my screenshots are confusing (shows 1 day as frequency) and I will change them.
This app is not really meant for daily contact lenses, but more for weekly, bi-weekly or monthly contact lenses. Some people use their own schedule to change contact lenses. It is not meant to track how many contact lenses you have left, but how much time you have left before you start using another set of contact lenses.
I personally wear bi-monthly contact lenses (14 day frequency), and I had trouble remembering that I had to change them 14 days later. I used to write the date I which I put my new contact lenses on a piece of paper, but this is only helpful if you check the piece of paper. This app will alert you when it’s time to throw the contact lenses away.

Sorry for hurriedly glossing over the facts.
