I've worn glasses since I was in the sixth grade. I remember when I first got glasses, walking out of the doctor's office and seeing the pine trees and how the needles looked. Before they were always a glump of green, now I could actually see the needles.
So after all this time I'm fairly used to wearing glasses. Something about putting something on my eye always seems to bother me. A few years ago I did try contacts. The problem is that I wear bi-focals. So the contacts were mono, one lens was for distance and one was for the nearer stuff. The theory is that your brain adjusts to this and brings your eyes together so it doesn't seem off. I never could seem to adjust to it. Whenever I driving or outside it was fine, my far vision worked great. But when I was in a building, if I was looking at something near and I looked up it would take too long for my eyes to adjust. So I gave up on the idea of ever wearing contacts.
Well I started hearing about bi-focal contact lenses. So I went out a few weeks ago and today they came in. So at this very moment I'm wearing them. I still can't quite grasp how bi-focal contact lenses work, but I'm wearing them and they seem to be working better than the old mono contact lenses. I'm going to give them a try for a few days or week and see what happens. I hope that it works, it would be nice not to have to wear glasses.

I can't even put drops in my eyes. There's no way I could put an actual lens on my eye.
Although, this post does remind me that I've been threatening to go get my eyes checked for quite some time now.
