Oh right with you.  
The guy or gal who invents a way to avoid that will be a millionaire.

I wonder if the person that invented contacts is a millionaire? 😃

Contacts? Why didn’t I think of that?

And no, I’m not being sarcastic. I’m supposed to be trying to get used to contact lenses, but have only worn them a couple of times because, well, I guess because I’m not used to them yet. I’ll try them the next time I have to go to the store. Thanks!

See, this thread did turn out to be useful. 🙂

You’ll get used to them eventually. I’ve been wearing them for about 35 years now, and the first few years were hard contacts - those were no fun.

Yeah - I’m getting my new contacts in this week. It’s been about fifteen years since I last wore them (and those were ill fitting) This time the optometrist will be giving me lessons on taking them out and putting them in.
