I was thinking of getting some colored contacts. How do they feel?
Well, they were a little difficult to get in, but once I did, they don't feel too bad...:) They were cool on my eyes at first, and my eyes are kind of dry right now which is normal, and every time I move my eyes, I can feel them shift, though it's nothing big.:) I like them though, and it sure feels weird to be able to see without something on my face, lol!:D
Congrats! Now take a picture for us to see. :D
Did you get colored contacts?
lol, I would take a pic right now, but I've gotta be going since we have a storm brewing up...:D No, I got clear, disposable contacts, (and am going to get many pairs next week for a year's worth) but I'm happy with them!;)
Congrats on getting the contacts. I have had them for about 2 years now, and love them. They don't bother me anymore.
Good Luck with the storm!
Next step . . . LASIK!!!
I wore glasses & contacts for 9 years and then got Lasik . . . I just can't believe I ever wore anything!
Congrats on the contacts though! I remember when I got contacts & didn't have to wear glasses . . . it was great!
Pics, Katie!! hehe, congrats! ;)
I'll second this, wore glasses for 15 years, then tried contacts but my astigmatism was too bad to really use them (even with the toric lenses)... so I got lasik and been glasses free for four years :)Quote:

I have wore glasses for so long that I think I would feel naked without them. Is that Lasik surgery very bad? Can you SEE while they are doing it in that eye? I have thought about it but have so many questions.... now I have somebody to ask!!!! How about recovery time, once done, is that IT? How expensive is it, does insurance cover it ect... I want to be EDUCATED on the whole process....PLEASE!
Congrats! A lot of my friends are switching from glasses to contacts, thank goodness I dont need any of them! Good luck with the contacts! ;) :)
