OK so I'm in day four with my new contact lenses. When they are in, I really love them. Except sometimes. I come home yesterday to hurry and put them in and go to a meeting. I get halfway there and start realizing that I can't read the street signs....or see individual leaves on the trees. So remember the cartoon devil and angel that would argue over what to do? I guess I'm dating myself. (Not that way, John.) So it goes:
Devil: Well it's not THAT blurry. Not as bad as say, a hard rain on the windshield.
Angel: You know that the distance lens is in BACKWARDS. Turn around now and fix it.
Devil: But it will take so long to take it out and then put it back in. I haven't hit anything.
Angel: It's not good for your eyes or the contact. You'll probably run over a cat.
So the Angel wins. I turn around. Sure enough, it's in backwards. I guess when I drop it (over and over) as I'm trying to put it in, it lands and flips inside out and fools me.
At least it is quicker now. I have the whole ritual down with just how wet it has to be, how to hold my eye open, how to be gentle. So today is the big trial to wear them at work all day.
Wow, I'm getting GOOD. Both lenses get put in my eyes in under ten minutes. And my eyes aren't feeling like I just walked by someone sandblasting a building. I walk out to get my car.....and the leaves are fuzzy......I can't read the house numbers. Yup. Backwards.
