That actually happened to me before...it's a pain the a$$..when it gets stuck in your eyeball.


I only have two pairs left now before I need to get new ones. I should make an eye appointment...


Can't you just order them off the Internet...it's usually much cheaper too.

Yeah that's a burn. I'm sure you've picked up something to eat by now but I know the feeling.


I was cheap and didn't and didn't want to waste any time, so I made myself a tuna melt sandwich. Haven't had those in a while, so it was really yummy. :)

Sounds like a freak accident, but glad you got it out. :)

Depending if her last eye exam was less than a year ago. If it's over a year since her last exam, she'll have to get another one. Those online contact lens sites usually check with the patient's eye doctor to see if the Rx is expired. If it is, they don't sell the contacts to the patient.

Geez, i'm glad I don't need to wear glasses / contacts. What a pain.

Although, it won't be long :grumble:

I. Hate. You. :usuck: Been wearing them since grade school and it really does suck. I'd get lasik, but my Rx changes every year. :grumble:

Yea, but I think my prescription will change. One eye has gotten better and the other has gotten worse. :nut:

I've been wearing glasses since grade school as well, and it's a pain. My one and only nice feature are my eyes, and I always have to hide them. So I'm thinking of being vain this year and wear contacts more than glasses.

The only thing is, the studio I teach in has really dry air, so my contacts always stick. It's annoying, and I always end up reverting to glasses.

That does suck. I did notice your eyes... they're very "feline" :)

Unfortunately, I'm in the other category of glasses users--I look more fug than usual with them on. =T

What type of contacts are you wearing? Proclear or Acuvue Oasys are great lenses for people with dry eyes. In fact, I am using the new Oasys Toric lenses and I can wear them 12 hours straight (8-9 hours in an air conditioned room) and I even catnap with them on and they're still comfortable. Ask your eye doctor for some trials. Wow, I sound like an advertisement. :sweat:

Nah, I just wanted to share first-hand (or "first-eye"? :hehe:) information I have regarding contact lenses instead of people just suffering because of random ones that their doctor gave them. :)

Yeah, I don't think I could justify the expense in my health insurance... "What do you mean, an airfare to Hawaii isn't a legitimate claim item? I had to go see my favorite optometrist"

:hehe:

My boss is awesome, so I think it'd be a legit claim. :mrgreen:

On topic: It's 1pm and I wasted half the day already by sitting in front of this damn computer. :sweat:

I dunno what my brand is... I'll have to check the box. I'll ask my doctor about those brands for sure. Thanks!

Oh I see. My bad, I thought you merely were on the verge of running out of your supply of lenses.

That too. But I'd rather get the new patch with a new prescription, eh?
