Personally, I don’t know how you do it.  How do you place that piece of plastic on your eye every day to see?  How do you not get afraid that you’ll touch or scratch your eye?  How do you not panic when it goes above or underneath and you think you lost it?

It just baffles me.

Then again, it might be because I have never worn contacts, only need glasses for distance when driving at night (not by law), and had an experience with gasoline in my eyes as a kid—yeah, that might make me not want to even try contacts!

What I do think is neat about them, however, is how they preserve the original face.  It’s not like they frame the face, or change how you naturally look—they show the real you.  That I do find appealing.

And now there are contacts that actually keep your eyes moist, like the acuvue oasys.  See, before I would think that contacts would be like wearing plastic on your body all day—yuck.  I had a roommate in college that wore his contacts all the time, and I always wondered how he could possibly do it.

Now that there are contacts that actually let your eye breathe more, I can understand the choice—not sure if you’d catch me wearing them.  They are easier to find than glasses, and you can order them online, and they do preserve your natural looks, though.

If you wear contacts, or know someone who does, check out different places and different types.  You may be surprised at what new technology there is out there for you now.
