Greetings and Good Morning CoSo

Getting fitted for contacts today. Not sure how I feel about sticking things on my eye…any advice from those who wear contacts appreciated.

@yogapaddlerun I've been wearing them for 25 years. It's going to take you awhile to get used to putting your fingers in your eye. Relax. Focus your eye on something beyond your finger. Make sure your hands are clean. Be careful what you touch before putting your contacts in. Even with clean hands, I've had numerous stinging eye incidents. The older I get the more eyedrops I need. Do NOT sleep in them. If you accidentally sleep in them, don't peel them off immediately after waking up.

@Foxthorn Good tips! Had fighter pilot vision until two years ago then age hit me, lol. I’m not used to this blurry vision stuff.

Seems like contacts are a bit of work, however the doc thinks I’ll like them better. Appreciate the info.

@yogapaddlerun I am very nearsighted. Now I'm combining that with needing reading glasses...I'm wearing glasses over my contacts. *sigh* getting old
