contacts suck. I want them because I look goofy with glasses. I need them so I can see. but they itch my eyes, they scratch my lids, and I hate having to touch my eyeballs to put them in or take them out. it feels like I’m peeling skin off my eyeballs, and that’s never pleasant.
how I hate you.

Some people are blind.
I’ve been wearing glasses so long now, I think I look REDICULOUS without them 🙂 So Contacts are NOT an option for me :DYou’re just not used to seeing them on your face! They will grow on you!! Trrrrrryyyyyyyyy it!
I wore contacts for 20 years and hated them. What finally made me dump them was when I realized how how baggy the skin got around my eyes – aged the old peepers about ten years so I switched and never regretted going back to specs. Once you lose the skin elasticity around your eyes, it’s gone, no amount of expensive cream will fix it – your only resort is plastic surgery.
I can’t stand touching my eye, so I had contacts all of two days. I look about 15 with the glasses on..bad eyesight suckssss.
I recently had laser eye surgery and was told by the doctor that she could tell I never wore contacts as there was little to no damage to my eye. I guess wearing them makes you have permanent capillary breakage due to lack of oxygen that contacts cause!
my cat seems to scratch anywhere he wants with pleasure..he also licks himself too.
I had laser eye surgery 2 weeks ago, and its a WHOLE new world. I know its expensive, but they do have really reasonable payment plans. You will SO not regret it. The week before, I couldn’t even see the big “E” on the eye chart without my glasses. The day after my surgery, I had better than 20/20 vision, and it only gets better over a few months. Contacts are a pain in the ass — I never bothered with them. Worth “looking” into….;-)
