Finally got contacts


According to my wife, I have finally joined the 21st Century by getting contacts. I've been wearing glasses for at least 20 years now and my prescription is pretty high. I decided to try out contacts to see if the technology had improved any. I attempted to wear contacts before but I found them uncomfortable and I didn't see the need to get them.

The thing that is difficult is actually getting them in. I'm not proficient doing it yet like my wife but I'm slowly getting there. I'm using some trial contacts right now as I wait for my real ones to come in so my vision isn't 20/20 just yet. It's a bit blurry but I can still see just fine. To celebrate this progression in my life, I decided to splurge and get some sweet ass Oakley sunglasses. Too bad its not even sunny in Atlanta so I can use them.

I still have to keep my glasses up to date though but I own the Cadillac of lenses. The are the thinnest lenses available for my prescription, it has anti-glare, polarization, transition, and they're scratch proof. I'm carrying them in my bag and I have another back up pair at home just in case that have the same options. I'm using the insurance for the glasses because lenses are just so expensive these days anyway.

I'm going to have to keep practicing with these contacts so that I can get my time down to under a minute. Yeah I know, kinda cheesy that I'm timing how fast I can put them in but it will really help when I'm in a rush. Oh and I'm totally committed too, I bought a years supply of contacts. HA!!
