No More Glasses

As several of you know or may have noticed in recent pictures, I have been going sans glasses. It has been a trying experience. Actually, it has been 6 weeks of torture. The doc and I decided that with my scar tissue pain it would be best for me not to wear glasses. We've experimented with various contacts. I suffer from severe allergies that make me sensitive plus an odd astigmatism that limits what I can wear. After numerous versions of contacts, including several that didn't fit, one that I had a reaction to the material, several I couldn't get in the eye, a few lost ones; I think we may have found the correct prescription and material. It has been a week with my new pair, and so far, so good. So no more glasses for me (except on my severe allergy days).

It's a big change from glasses to contacts! Good luck!

what kind of contacts are you wearing? Because of my stigmatism I had to wear gas-permeable (spelling?) They worked for 30 odd years, until finally they started drying my eyes out and I went back to glasses. At least with glasses I can now rub my eye without the contact floating to the top lid. Nothing better than a piece of glass under the lid.

You mean I can't call you four-eyes anymore?

Scar tissue pain from what?

You know, I never notice those kinds of things (glasses vs contacts). I mean, I know I've seen you in glasses but I didn't realize you ALWAYS wore glasses. Call me the next time you need a crime witness.

I have scar tissue from multiple sinus surgeries. They run right across the bridge of my nose.
