my contact lenses
May. 2nd, 2009 06:31 amI have my contact lenses. I wanted extended wear ones, but Specsavers don't do them for torics - and now I'm very glad they don't. The distance is fine (although the prescription needs tweaking a bit) but now I can't do anything close up without reading glasses; can't see the phone, can't read the herb jars in the kitchen, etc.
Without glasses or lenses, I can see to read in bed, in the bath, etc. Having to wear glasses for that all the time would drive me crazy - and I'm also very glad I didn't go through with the laser surgery!
Having said all that, I would like some extended wear ones for when we're away camping or similar, so I'm going to get a copy of my prescription and order some off that interweb. I'm supposed to go back on 15th May for a checkup, but I'm going to see if I can pull it forward to next Friday, as I really do need something slightly stronger for distance. And once everything has settled down, I might think about daily disposables rather than 30 day ones, so as not to faff about with the cleaning routine, etc, because I doubt I'm going to wear them every single day.
However, by and large, I'm chuffed - having had poor eyesight since the age of 10, every set of lenses I've tried, and glasses I've worn, has been a compromise of one sort of another, and these lenses are great for being out and about. And I can wear sunglasses!
