10.3.08 Eyez : part 2 posted by Pax @ 9:52 pm
Ok, so I went home with the contacts and tried putting them on, no luck.

I kept blinking and blinking!!!

So, I gave up and today I tried again.

I accidentally ripped one of the contacts with the tweezers (I knew I should have tried to find plastic tweezers, I got ceramic ones and it was a mistake).

Sigh, so I practiced with the other one.

I stayed in the bathroom for an hour trying to put the lens onto the iris, but I kept blinking.

I then went closer to the mirror and tried again.

I then found out a secret.

I stared forward, and made sure my finger would be directly in front of my iris. Then I looked straight down. As much down as I could possibly look. And I moved my finger closer. Houston we have contact! No pun intended. lole

I slowly closed my eyes. Looked in circles. Opened them, and voila, contact lens on iris!

It then started burning.
BAH.

But that stopped after 5 or so minutes.

Then I figured I try the ripped one. It wasn't that ripped, just a piece of the outside.

Since I made my own trick, it took me about ten times to get this one on. But this one just kept burning and burning and won't go away.

So I realized I shouldn't be putting ripped lenses on my eye because it might scratch my cornea and create an abrasion, not something I'm looking forward for.

So I removed my lenses, which took another 15 minutes. They just wouldn't come off. And one of them went half way under my eyelid. That was scary.

Anyways, I got them both off. I have an appointment on Saturday. I guess I won't be practicing again. I've got it now. I mean, I could practice, but since one of them is ripped, I'm not going to take any risks. Damn tweezers. They were from Daiso btw. I blame Daiso. lolllllllllllllllllllllll

This was one of the toughest things for me. Putting on a contact lens. I'm serious. It was tough.

I got through it. Yey.

"It took me about 20minutes to put them on at the shop. My eyes are more sensitive than others."

EVERYBODY takes ~20 min to put contacts on the 1st time. You have no idea what you are talking about.

And uh, why are you using tweezers for contacts? Good job, let us all apply sharp metal to soft, fragile things we are about to put into our eyes.
Furthermore, the metal must be worth only two dollars.

I always think I remember how strange you are, but apparently not.

I guess the optometrist was lying when he said my eyes were more sensitive than others =/

I guess I don't know the consumers of the industry that well.
