Sounds just like me! My glasses come off to shower and sleep, and that's it. I couldn't see my own hands without my glasses.

I used to wear contacts, in junior high, high school and college. When I got pregnant, I couldn't wear them anymore. My doctor said my eyes were just drier than normal due to the hormonal changes of pregnancy, and I would be able to go back to them after I had the baby. Guess what ... "the baby" is almost sixteen years old and I've never been able to wear contacts again.
