Well you see Aaron, the proble is... Im not only blind as a bat, im also partially deaf from listening to too loud of music. (this is the prognosis from my coworkers, ive never actually been tested though lol.)
So if i were to wake up blind, i would probably have a panic attack lol. Thats cool that they were able to fix your moms though. Id like to know the mistake rate on those surgeries...

When I first started wearing them it drove me nuts when they dried up. Your body will adjust to that, though. Same with the idea of touching your eyeball.

One piece of advice, though. If you're like me and you love spicy food, ALWAYS wash your hands before taking your contacts out.
I feel like the pros for contacts would probably outweigh the cons in my case too, but like i said im just so used to glasses. Also like i said i dont have insurance right now so i wont be getting any free contacts from my doctor til i get insurance to go see her lol.
And yea i love spicy food so thatd definetly be a mistake i would try at all costs to avoid...
