Canada leading the way in anti smoking

I've been wearing contact lens for a few days and I can't stand it. Often than not, I end up taking it off and putting my glasses on. It's even better without it when I'm reading or even moving around the house. I'm waiting for a new prescription on the left eye. Optometrist said that it's the last remedy and if my eyes still don't see better then I cannot have multifocal lens. That's a bit frustrating. I started wearing eyeglasses last year -old age phenomenon Anyone wearing contact lens? What's your experience when starting? What prescription do you have?

I don't wear them but I do remember my mum having all sorts of issues when she first got them. She persevered though and did wear them for quite a few years. She only really stopped after her stroke. It became complicated then, for obvious reasons.

I had 20/15 vision in one eye and 20/20 in the other, not enough to require glasses. One year, we were all forced to buy vision insurance, so I decided to get prescription contacts...for Halloween (yellow cat eyes). The optometrist was out of the size I needed, but had me try on a pair of regular colored lenses for fit. Holy cow! It took me a half hour to get them in, and one of them was scratchy! The optometrist had a look and discovered the offending lens had a small tear in it, so she had me try another. That one was much better. Once we were convinced they fit okay, she prescribed the "Wild Eyes."

I've had them for years. Before I wear them, I cleanse them thoroughly with fresh contact lens solution. I have no problem putting them in, now. It takes a few minutes to acclimate, but they don't bother me once they're in.

One issue with my mum was that she would put one in then lose it as it was out of position. It was tricky to see where it had got to although it was never round the back. I do wonder how you see such things if you cannot see very well without them. It sounds like a "catch 22" to me.

I collected half my prescription from the chemist yesterday. I collect the next half Wednesday.

I like keeping my medications up-to-date.

How does your SO do it? Water and contacts aren't a good combo due to many issues I read (infection, irritation, etc).

I feel fortunate to not need glasses.

Me too or I wouldn't be reading this...

Anyone ever tried a face roller?

Nope...sounds like it might be refreshing, though.
