Anyone here wear contacts? What about coloured contacts?

Well thats good that its not that bad then! I have a friend, Toni_07, she cant see, I think she is legally blind without her lenses. She wears contacts, and always has. I can never remember if Im farsighed or nearsighted. LOL I can only see close up, so Im thinking they call that nearsighted. It seems it was always opposite, or thats what I was thinking anyway. But my mom always told me to get back from the TV I always sat so close. About 9 years ago, I didnt wear any lenses, I was at K-Mart trying on a pair of sunglasses and the tag that was attatched to the nose part slipped up under my cheek and cut my cornea 3 layers deep. OOOOH I was in such pain! My whole eye filled with blood and I had to see an eye doctore for like 3 weeks to monitor and keep medicine in it. They were scaring me, the Dr kept calling people in the room to "look at this" they had never seen anyone do this to their eye. LOL Ever since then I have had to have eye glasses, because that is the eye with the dip or astigmatism in it. I wish I would have been wiser then, I would have sued somebody!! Bay xx

Is there a cut off date if you're still affected by it?

Hmm, I dont know. I never really thought about it. I wasnt thinking of that at the time, I was in a LOT of pain for about a week and a half. And then after that I dont know why I didnt pursue it, I guess cos I felt fine once it healed. I dont think I could really sue if I wasnt all that hurt. LOL Honest Abe here!!

Very true, it does take a lot to have contacts. For many its worth it though.

My eyes are hazel which means their dark olive green with a little orange and such. So I've worn contacts that enhance the greem. What I think is funny is that some people without a prescription will wear glasses because they look more intelligent or something.
