For those of you who have astigmatism and wear soft toric lenses without having a high prescription are pretty lucky folks. Those who are mostly blind like myself are not so lucky. It’s very hard to get a good set of soft lenses when you are lucky to see as it is. So today here I sit wearing my new rigid gas permeable contacts. One issue I am having is the cost of the cleaner and conditioner. It’s absolutely ridiculous what I paid for such small bottles. Luckily I can continue to use Clear Care to supplement my cleaner.
The other issue I am having is that if looks like I’m looking through something damp or foggy. I’m not used to them and it feels like there’s an eyelash sticking me in the eye. Yet I can see quite clearly. So clearly in fact that my right eye is definitely 20/20 again. My left eye is pretty damn close to 20/20.
Hopefully once I am used to wearing them I won’t have this fuzzy/foggy view anymore. I’m going to take it slow and take them out for a couple of hours every day so that my eyes don’t try to climb out of my skull and run away. (You’re not supposed to wear contacts for more than 12 hours a day people. I know, stupid, but true.)
Once I find work and get things set money-wise I’m going to start putting money away for Lasik. Even though I’ll still need contacts or glasses I won’t need such a high ass prescription. I’m off for now. Later.
