Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

Holy shit!



I'll get my keys

Yeah, better yet, it hasn’t affected my eye health or prescription in 25 years of that behavior.

Those “semi permanent” lenses that they say to throw away every month? They last like 6+ months each! Obviously they want you to buy contacts more frequently than you really need to.

wife was browsing around the the interweb and found this..........and in my line of work, it's very doable

What stops a person from being able to wear contacts?

I have some kind of weird shaped eye structure. They told me I was an odd fit for contacts? I didn't inquire further since poking myself in the eye with the potential for it to not work felt stupid.

Luggage rack needs to be a platform with an access ladder for sunbathing.

i can't wear them because i have high astigmatism, with the curvature being off on my lens....at least that's what the optometrist told me...

The Mrs has astigmatism, the eye Dr said her eyeballs are football shaped, she wore contacts for years and had readers to go with them.

out of curiosity were these optometrists based out of an eyeglass store?

I've never messed with crypto so bear with me.
I'm sure my math must be off but my phone says you now have $500.02485 worth?

That can't be right.

Mine wasn't. They were really pushing disposable contacts at the time I was told not to get them, so I took their word for it. Disposable lenses are a super expensive up sale over glasses. At least back when I was looking some years ago

oh, I just assumed contacts were cheaper than glasses.

I tried them a number of times and the process to get it in there without blinking or rolling it over was such a pain. Or I'd fall asleep with them in and that's painful. Forget about shop work if it's dusty. Just a all around pita.

And volatiles too. A lab mate in Grad school had contacts and had to stop wearing them in the lab due to the various solvents we used; the contacts absorbed/concentrated them out of the air and irritated his eyes

I'd get lasik surgery.

I have a severe astigmatism, been wearing contacts for 25 years

This^^

I mean, they can be in some cases. But if you buy disposables, they don’t last 10 years like a good pair of glasses.

Ever seen a grown man butt walk try putting eye drops in mine lol

This was 40+ yrs ago, Lasik wasn't available LOL

In the kitchen, contacts made my eyes impervious to the onion off-gassing when chopping onions or shallots. It was like a kitchen superpower…lol

I'd get lasik surgery.

Not everyone is a good candidate. You have to have a stable prescription that doesn’t change as you age. Or else, you could get lasik, your eyes continue to change, and you need glasses again in a few years anyway

Not in the market for new eye wear. I like glasses! I just lose a separate set of sunglasses. Which transitions solve.

 

[Laughing Grass]

I'm kinda surprised how many of you wear glasses.
