Journal BandwidthHog's Journal: Contact High 14

I can see clearly now!

I got contact lenses Tuesday morning. Today’s the third day and they’re still driving me nuts. It’s really cool to be able to see details off in the distance, but I’ve spent entirely too much time lately blinking at my monitor. Sometimes I can actually see the edges of them. I know that shouldn’t be possible, but they are triggering some sort of perception in my peripheral vision; sometimes I turn my head to see what I sense beside me, and others I’m just certain there’s a hair hanging down between my eyes.
Any of y’all have any insight (har har) into dealing with contacts as a heavy computer user? Or tips for putting them in without being late for work? (Today I had to give up and go to work, then fight with them for twenty minutes once I got here.)
Almost forgot... in other news this week, it seems that my town recently started printing the names of the streets on those green things on the poles. Good to see that they’re finally using my tax dollars wisely.

I once played most of a soccer game with one eye, as the other one had floated around the back side, pain in the ass.

I don't remember having as much of an adjustment period when I added a second contact 5 years ago, though.

I wore mine for five hours the first day and then fourteen hours yesterday. There were a few times last night when I really couldn’t feel either lens and was sure I had lost them somehow. I had to look at something off in the distance to convince myself they were still there. It seems to be just the first

I don't know for long long I had poor vision in my left eye, because I could see perfectly. I had 20/20 vision in my right eye. At my first visit to an eye doctor when I was 12, the power for the contact for my left
