3. 2. 1. Contact lenses

[cyrano]

Day one of Project Oh God Oh God It's IN MY EYE went pretty well. I went to the eye doctor place, and they had me apply and remove the lenses three times so that they felt confident I could do it without somebody nearby to help. I apparently showed above average eyeball acumen, and finished that up pretty quickly. They said "The first time, only wear them a couple of hours, and then the next time a couple more. Like that." So of course, because of unusual circumstance, I had them in for four and a half hours. Overall, they were uncomfortable, just due to the constant reminder that there was something in my eye, but not painful. And I was constantly surprised--not by the clarity of vision, although that was good, but by occasionally noticing that I wasn't wearing glasses. No session today, because my eyelid is all abraded and stingy from yesterday.

I finally got over the bad dreams of waking up half-blind again about 8 years after getting LASIK. Which, ironically, was about when my eyes had changed enough again that I could get prescription sunglasses (but don't _need_ them).
