eye kvetching
Jun. 30th, 2009 08:01 pmI haven't complained about the whole eye shenanigans in awhile, and I have more to share. I am really annoyed by my light sensitivity. I need sunglasses most of the time I'm outside in the daytime, no matter which contact I have on.
The Super Special Contact, Mach 2 (adjusted fit) has been hanging with me for the past month. I can wear it for about 6 hours, 10 if I don't expose it to wind, hair, bright light, dirt, blinking, looking at anything that moves a lot, excessive shadow, television or allergens - things I avoid, like... never. I had no idea how much eyes do automatically to accept crap falling in them! The heavy plastic contact can't do those things, so I get at least one episode of OMG PAIN each day.
I'm thinking about this especially because I'm on vacation at the beach this week, and I keep having to switch back to the less-seeing contact cause sand and wind are excruciating. Bleh. Are my six months of "getting used to it" over yet?
On the other hand: beach! Down at the Outer Banks not really doing much of anything. Did some mental work on the book and What I'm Going to Do When I Grow Up while staring at the ocean. My life is so haaaard.
