JESUS CHRIST MY EYE FUCK

So I was due for my annual eye appointment and I figure since the girlfriend's been bugging me to get contacts, I'd finally man up and try it.
Jesus Christ, that was the single most humiliating, annoying, nerve-wracking experience in my life. Fucking half an hour of holding my eyelids open and trying to put a small round disk on my FUCKING EYEBALL while my girlfriend watches me and says "Ooo almost" over and over. What the shit, this is not a fun alternative to my good ol' glasses.
What's worse is even after taking it out and rinsing it, the left one still feels bad and keeps on getting all blurry.
Let's share some eye stories.
Also, Bongi needs to post the picture if he's around.

But honestly, after a week it becomes second nature
I'm incredibly nearsighted... anything past, oh, let's say the tip of nose is extremely blurry
but Lasik is way out of my financial league, and contacts? Hell no I'm not going to try and put something directly on my eyeball
It was not fun.
always look on the bright side of life
Someone with contacts help me out here.
tell the superglue story.
got a song in my heart :whistle:
Wash your hands then take it out and put it on your palm
Douse it in eye contact solution for a few seconds and put it back in
This is pretty much exactly what it was like when I got my contacts
It never got easier
Which is why I still wear glasses every day.

did he glue his dick to his leg
You have scratched your eye. Take the lens out and don't touch your eye until the feeling goes away or it will just keep getting worse.
Also, that too, yes
Backwards contacts suck
See, Jean's all
"oh no it'll get much easier"
and I'm all
"I'M TOUCHING MY FUCKING EYE"
So I have eye cancer?
I'm sure it gets easier for some people.
It just didn't get easier for me. I wore them for prom and graduation and haven't put them back in since.
Besides, I look weird without glasses.

"BITCH THIS NEVER HAPPENED WITH GLASSES WHAT THE HELL WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LOVE ME THE WAY I WAS WHEN YOU MET ME!?! BLIND STINKING DRUNK!"
Eye AIDS
EYEDS
plus they make me look better*
So uh, I'm really blind without some sort of corrective lenses.
A couple of months ago I was sitting at my desk in the office when I went to put eyedrops in, as my eyes were itchy.
So I took off my glasses, and fumbled around til I found the bottle. Then, just as I was leaning back to squeeze them in my wife slapped the bottle out of my hand.
I'd picked up the superglue bottle, because it was right next to my eyedrops.
My wife actually managed to catch the glue mid air, and ended up with a long streak of it down her arm, but she saved my eye. Now the eye drops are kept very far from the glue.
oh wait
Wait, you can contract floaters?
You may have ripped the left one slightly taking it in and out, I did that to a couple times when I first started wearing them. That would cause them to not sit right and scratch on the eye.
Also, you may have slightly cut your eye, not a huge deal, usually heals overnight (the eye heals extremely quickly).
Both of these things happen when you first start learning to wear them, and both caused the symptoms you describe when I did it.
Good luck, after a week of regular use you won't even notice them.
That's like, in the bathroom...the mouthwash and the aftershave used to be very similar looking (until Fram switched aftershaves), but he always feared one day he would end up swirling a bunch of aftershave around in his mouth.

that last part?
hugest fucking lie.
Or maybe in the future there'll be cybereyes I can use to creep old people out with.
I was just telling bongi that this is God's punishment for listening to a woman.
This is pretty much my philosophy.
I refuse to get laser eye correction until they don't have to include 'YOU MIGHT GO BLIND' in the stuff you have to sign.

Ok sorry, that depends on the person, and the length of time worn.
I notice mine when I start to get tired because my eyes tend to dry a bit, but my girlfriend never notices hers.
why is it always the alarmists that get all the attention
Nah I checked and double-checked when I put it in.
which one would you listen to?
"Oh you probably have a cold, don't worry about it."
"That cough you have sounds exactly like your lungs are being filled with flesh-eating AIDS beetles."
I dunno WaM, maybe MB just went 'Well I checked before I put it in so I'm pretty sure it isn't.' :P
Cuz I know that every time I went to put mine in, I checked to make sure they weren't inside-out, because I was told to and I was all 'omg can't put them in inside out'
That seems like something someone who just pops their lenses in and out might do. People who are new to it keep checking and rechecking.
Or maybe I don't know
EDIT: SEEEEEEEE
