I've only ever worn glasses. I feel like I'd forget contacts in my eyes when I go to sleep -__-

My brief attempt at colored fashion contacts was a trial by fire. Hoping to change my eye color to something a little more flattering.

The eye can't stand a speck of dust, let alone a contact. Was like poking myself in the eyeball every time and fighting not to tear up.
And your technique has to be down--wet finger then touch lens. Often I didnt get it dead center beneath the lids.

Never again.

I never tried lenses. I'm not sure if I could ever get accustomed to them. They look uncomfortable and even the idea of putting them in makes me cringe.

@Mellowgirl :D I feel like even if I could put them in I would still freak out that my eyes will get infected or something. I tend to have problems with eyes even without lenses so I don't really want to add up to that.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@CrazyMusicLover ahhh that sucks. I've slept with them in once or twice they generally just go a bit dry. But once you follow the covid hand hygiene protocol and either air dry or use not lint paper towels so you don't get fluff on your fingers you should be fine. But I understand. It's hit for everyone

Never worn lenses but known to do that when I haven't got my glasses on 🤦🏻‍♂️

I haven’t tried lenses yet. I find it too scary! 🥶 I had a surgery for my deviated nasal septum few years back, I still shiver thinking of it. I’d rather not do anything scary anywhere near my face.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@ethereal Yea i wouldnt like that much
Lilymoon · F
I've tried lenses many times. I always go back to the glasses because they're a pain in the ass lol.

That isn`t where you`re supposed to wear them. 🤭

Never made the transition. Contacts always felt like rocks in my eyes.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@Kumbayakid rocks you know that's hilarious
Fauxmyope2 · 26-30, F
Contacts aren’t for me. I have friends that love them though and won’t be seen in public wearing glasses.
GunFinger · F
Easy. I've been wearing contact lenses since I was in 6th grade.
Royrogers · 61-69, M
Tried contact lenses but could not bear it
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@Royrogers they can be very drying or feel scratchy. It helps to try different brands but obviously if its too unbearable why put yourself at risk?
Tried, stopped.

Good transition lenses get dark fast and come light indoors pretty quickly.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@gdon39 I didn't ask that
gdon39 · 41-45, M
@Mellowgirl as it turns out you didn't ask that.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@gdon39 I find here unless you spell things out so Crystal people answer however they want and even when I take my time to do that I still get people saying what they want because people don't actually read, to answer they read just to speak.

This isn't a personal attack on you just something I've noticed here.
People do and say whatever they want and God help you for correcting them
I paid a bit extra. I can see long short up down side to side without moving my head 👍

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout so you had laser?
Did you ever wear glasses?
@Mellowgirl yeah sorry. Shoulda said.. still glasses. But it’s like I’m not wearing them. Feels like my young eyes..

zorroo · 56-60, M
get rid of the glasses and lenses and go for Lasik.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@zorroo that's a scary thought you don't even know if I'm eligible
zorroo · 56-60, M
@Mellowgirl check with your doctor about eligibility, not scary at all, I did it 15 years ago.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@zorroo im not eligible
Ingwe · F
when the fit is just right that won't be needed oops I misunderstood the q
Biffed · 26-30, M
i only ever wore contacts, but i'd assumed it'd be liberating
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@Biffed I absolutely love my glasses and having a job where things could get in my eyes glasses are the best option.
Taking them off feels weird
LunarOrbit · 56-60, M
I got Lasik 19 years ago. Best choice and best money spent of my life
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@LunarOrbit not what I asked...
DDonde · 31-35, M
ooh contact lenses.
I've tried a couple times but they always end up irritating my eyes.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@DDonde I'm trying these in first time in a few years. I'm yet to go outside. I think I'll struggle. But I want to change it up a bit again.
DDonde · 31-35, M
@Mellowgirl best of luck to you
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@DDonde thanks
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I don’t think I could wear contacts so I just stick with my glasses.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Mellowgirl my prescription is pretty high and I have pretty bad arthritis in my hands so I don’t think I could manage to get them in.

I like glasses and have a collection so I can always match to any outfit.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@iamonfire696 sorry about the arthritis it must get so painful at times.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Mellowgirl it does. Thank you

@iamBen I don't know why people find it so difficult here...
I write in the way I speak.
Anyone I've ever spoken to understand when I say lenses I'm talking about contacts. But here people read what they want and assume that's what I'm talking about.
In the event I was talking about transition lenses for glasses then that comment would have been fine but that's not what I was asking.
