Recently I've been having quite a time with my lenses and the thought has occurred that I may in 20 years time STILL be wearing them...what a thought! It has been several years since I started wearing them and the only benefit I can seem to find from them is that I don't have to wear glasses!
Firstly who sat down and thought lets put little bits of clear plastic like material on our eyes and everything will be hunky dory?! To be fair I've had them several years and they have saved me the hassle of trying to coordinate a pair of glasses with every outfit and prevented me from being blind whilst trying to play a sport or go for a run. Even prevented me from injury (probably) as I probably would have smashed my glasses and had glass in my eye!
However the mundane task of poking myself in the eye every day is starting to really get on my nerves. I don't even really seem to benefit much these days. For example yesterday I was driving in the dark in the rain and as we'll as the wipers making my window blurry my lenses doubled the effect causing me to drive like a crazy old lady. This effect I can only assume was due to makeup on my lens as they were new lenses but I refuse to stop wearing makeup. Then I made a salad for lunch today and after chopping an onion thought it would be clever to put my lenses in...baaaad times!! In addition there's the inconvenience of not carrying solution at all times, the random head aches that come at inappropriate times or ripping them and its only the beginning of the month! I'm not sure those with daily contacts will have the same issues but having monthlys definitely a chore!
Luckily I've never had too bad an experience with them (touch wood) but does it not just seem such a horrible thought to have the daily task for the rest of your life! Maybe have to invest in some laser eye surgery, might even save a penny or 2 in the long run!
