Contact lenses are so freeing.

I'd be jealous, but my prescriptions is so weird, I stick with glasses - and besides, I've worn glasses so long I have no blink reflex left, so it'd be dangerous!

Karen, my prescription is kind of weird to. It's just enough that I notice if I put the wrong contact in the wrong eye! My left eye is worse than my right eye. I thought the same thing to, I've been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old, so I figured I couldn't do it, but it works for me!! I am sure you could too

Thanks, but as well as being extremely nearsighted, I have a different astigmatism in each eye, a cataract (tiny) in one eye, need bifocals and with the history of eye problems and allergies in my clan, I think I'll leave things alone. Besides, I would't recognize myself in the mirror anyway, I bet, and I had one discerning friend tell me years ago, after looking at me critically with and without glasses "You look better with them, no question!"

Me too. Amblyopia (lazy eye)... 20/200 on the left, 20/30 on the right. Thank goodness for polycarbonate lenses or I'd be wearing very thick glasses!

Oh, yes, I was very excited when the compressed lenses came out, so I didn't pick a frame style and get told, "Oh, honey, not with YOUR prescription, sorry!" time after time. Of course, now I need bifocals, so that limits it some, but still, I don't have the dents on my nose previous generations ended up with from heavy lenses.
