Contacts ........... Lenses that is!
Well I have had enough of my glasses, and eventually taken that step to go out and get contact lenses.
Having glasses is easy, but when you are getting blinder and need glasses more often, it does get a bit much. Like when you are cooking and watching TV at the same time...it is rather foggy!!!
There is nothing worse than opening a pot lid and all of a sudden your perspective on anything is rather misted!!
I would have loved to have gone for Lasik surgery, but at R 14 000.00 which I don't have and no where near blind enough for the medical aid to pay, contacts it is!
Now after much debate about what optomotrist to go to, I eventually just called Mullers at the Paddocks, and got an appointment and that was it.
I could have gone to Canal walk.... but Spec-savers at Canal Walk are absolutely useless, and Mullers there have funny people taking calls!!!
Well I was a bit sceptical at first about putting contacts in since I have heard horror stories and watch some candid camera, where they recorded people trying to put them in................
The optomotrist put the right eye's lense in, then when it came to the left.......... ya well no fine there has to be some sort of an issue!!
Something always has to be stubborn, whether it be the eye, the eyelid that won't stop trying so dam hard to blink it's not funny, or the lenses that won't come off the finger!!!
I tried to do it eventually, and after much laughter and tears and more laughter they were in and out then in again no problem!
Now all I had to do was get to the car without too many people staring at my red eyes, thinking that I had just heard the worst news in the world instead of knowing that I just made a very good descision...... No problems there I think!
Well that night I had to take them out, that's where the fun started.......
It was alot more difficult when I was at home under no pressure.... rather odd, but I got them out without permanently blinding myself this time!
Yup so far so good, the brain is still been reprogrammed to ignore the foreign object in the eye, but it is cool being "normal" again!!
Lets just hope I dont' get tooooo dronk and try and take my cornea's out one night!!!!
