Contacts
I have always toyed with the idea of contact lenses but never enough to actually pursue them. My eye prescription is not terribly strong and I tend to only wear my glasses for distance things: television, movies, driving. Besides that, I like glasses. I think they're cute and stuff. So it was never really a thing for me. Maybe I would think differently if I wore glasses my whole life, or if they were especially cumbersome, but I only got glasses when I was about 19 years old and I am able to get small, cute glasses easily. So whatever.
But now I have a Certified Glasses Grabber and the idea of contacts seemed more appealing. That and sports. Someday I may want to play sports again and it's a PITA to wear glasses and play sports. I'm always afraid of breaking them. So since I was getting an eye appointment anyway I figured I would bite the bullet and get fitted for contacts.
I know there is a learning curve and an adjustment period with them but I pretty much hate them. I hate that I can't get them on easily and I /really/ hate that I have a hell of a time getting them OFF! I have small eyes and don't have a lot of room for error with the manhandling. Ugh. And I don't like how they make your eyes dry and that I can't just pop them off when I'm doing close stuff (like of course the computer). So basically right now I am full of hate.
I have two job interviews today and I can't decide if I want to wear the contacts or not. Maybe I will try to put them on after my shower and if it doesn't take 20 years, it is meant to be. Otherwise, glasses FTW.

Anyway. I love contacts, but I had to start wearing welfare glasses when I was in 5th grade. As soon as I was able to afford them myself I got them! But it took me a couple weeks to get the hang on of it. Now I can put my contacts in one handed with Morella in the other arm, in the car, in the dark without mirrors...etc.
It'll get better! And then you'll wonder what took so long making the switch. I sort of wonder that about lasik ... should I go for it and correct my vision for a long time..
Oh the other great thing about contacts is that you have 3-d vision instead of flattened 2-d vision.
