Wow! Thanks everyone... I'm glad I'm not the only one w/ less than perfect sight!!! I think Nate pinned it... I don't blink enough and they start to blur...
"Hi, my name is Laura.. I have a blinking problem.." :P Agh....!
Cue, I thought about it... But I'm not sure how that would go over w/ the work place! LOL! I WOULD REALLY like some of those "wolf" ones... for rec. purposes! THAT would be Truelly wicked! :devilish:

LOL - mine don't fog up. I do remember that when I first started wearing the contacts that you can sleep in, that I had to keep a bottle of eye drops by the bed, because they'd feel really dry in the morning - but I guess my eyes got used to them. I'm using the Oasis now as 1 week at a time, then change them, wearing them 24 hours a day.
It only gets blurry if I forget to change them (although I have been known to wear a pair for up to three months without changing them, and the eye doctor says my eyes look like I've never worn contacts). I just forget to change them unless they get blurry, and then I change them.
Lasik is not covered by my insurance and currently not something that I can afford, but I'd love to do it one day!

I was in the 6th grade when I got my contacts, and I have had them ever since, that is like 10 years I guess. You could look into them still.
Re: Contacts... anyone? >:/
That's great that you can sleep in yours! And wear them for so long... I'm gonna ask about that option next week at my next apt... That would be too great! But alas, for now I'm blind first thing in the AM & last thing in the PM!
I must say that I'm getting more and more used to them now...:D

Don't ask if you can wear one pair for months on end - they would not EVER recommend it. Just because I do, doesn't mean that you should.
However - do know that daily wear, weekly wear and monthly wear are all the exact same contact, just boxed differently and priced differently. I think daily are less expensive, so you could buy the daily and wear them for a month, based on the monthly directions (which might be to take out each night).
Re: Contacts... anyone? >:/
Aaghh.. OK, Thanks for the tip! My friend said that she has 2wk-ers that she's been wearing for 2 months and no problems!I'm gonna get some eye drops tonight at the store, someone at wk said to get Visine for contacts, any thoughts on that brand?
