The Tao of Jim
   Thoughts and Stuff

I'm giving contacts another try...mostly cause glasses are a pain in the ass. I really am an eight year old mentally, cause they bug me. So I do not want to wear them. The crappy thing is: I can see fine without them, but my eyes get tired. But, when I wear the contacts my eyes also get tired. It sucks...

 

Any words of advice?

    Just think of it as a daylong massage for your eyes. Ooh, what luxury!

    And don't leave my contact-solution bottle open!

    Best part is peripheral vision.

    Worst part is when you mistake Steff's contact case for your own.

    I don't know if I have any great advice for you, although I should having worn contacts for 43 years... if they aren't comfortable, though, they aren't usually right. If you're trying soft contacts you shouldn't really be able to feel them and the gas perms take longer to get used, too, but still should just feel OK. You have to build up to wearing them the whole day, though, so don't rush it. Just start with several hours and add an hour or so as you can stand it. I have to wear mind at least 8 hours a day to keep my eye from curving but I often wear them much longer. I hope it works out for you.... probably TMI.... sorry
