Seven Days of Contact Lenses: Mid-week Update




 Ouch!

So far so painful.  I’ve persevered though and the crazy stinging does die down after five minutes or so and I can open my eyes and feel my way back upstairs.  Part of the problem is that I’ve got a mild astigmatism in one eye which is not bad enough to be corrected but bad enough to make wearing normal contact lenses a complete pain in the backside.  My right eye is perfect.  After the initial irritation I can barely tell I have it in.  The left eye is a completely different story; slightly blurred vision, a constant feeling like there is something in my eye and I touch and rub and poke at my eye a million times a day which is not helping.  I feel like I can’t see properly particularly when I’m working at a computer which unfortunately for me is practically 10 hours of the day.  “Persevere! You’ll get used to it” says my husband.  I am not convinced but am going to keep going at least until my appointment at the optician.  Aren’t I brave?
