This is me.
This is me in contacts.(dramatic pause)
Any difference?
I know I don't look any different with contacts in as opposed to out (which, of course, is the whole point of contacts), but I feel so much better! (Actually, the first picture is a little blurry, and the second is clearer, so just pretend that the photos represent my vision clarity as well.)
Normally I have horrible Spring and Summer allergies that no eye drop can touch, and I suffer through them the entire summer, but for the last two days while my contacts have been in, my eyes don't itch or feel grainy at all. But once I take them out at night, the itching starts right up. I think I'll be wearing contacts a lot this summer.
Last night I was able to successfully remove them by myself, but I haven't yet put them in by myself. I have these "little, squinty eyes," as Brian says, "which must mean that [I'm] suspicious." It makes it really hard to put contacts in. Luckily, I can pull my optometrist out of bed each morning and ask him to put them in for me until I can do it myself.
Edited to Add: I went in to Family Eye Care yesterday and Ellie patiently taught me to put contacts in by myself! Yea!

Well, you look lovely either way. Having an optometrist around sure is nice, isn't it?
Oh, I love contact lenses! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!
I think I would have a difficult time putting in contacts- I have a bit of an eye phobia (not that I am afraid of eyes, but I am afraid of things going into my eye. I have to have Cody help me put eye drops in.
Once, an eye doctor was bringing a little needles syringe up to my eye to sqeeze water into a tear duct. I was so scared that I pushed his hand away as the needle got close- which i know is not something I should have done, but it was kind of a panicked reflex. So we tried it again, this time I say on my hands. I just don't know how I would do with contacts!
