    Contacts... anyone? >:/

    So, I've worn glasses forever.... and they've become a part of who I am...but yesterday at the eye-doc. I requested to try contacts. This is what I'm having a problem with.... My vision/focus is blurring, getting fuzzy if I don't blink, ALOT! They said it will take aprox. a week to get completelly used to.... But has anyone had this blurring on their first full day with contacts? If so, did it get better? And are you happy with your contacts? Or are they a pain in the booty?

    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! L

    Thanks for the feedback Nate! I keep pushing up my glasses that are no longer there! I made a real fool of myself at work!!! A lady in the office asked, " Are you OK? You keep pushing between your eyes"?!?!? lol

    I've been wearing contacts so for long, I can't imagine not using them. I use the AcuView Oasis that you can sleep in, because I'm blind as a bat without them, and glasses make me motion sick!

    I'm all about the disposables. I love throwing them away every day.

    What sorta prescription do you have..(far/near sighted, astigmatism, bi focal??) I have worked in the optical industry for 10 years now and i have fitted may patients, your problems may be related to your type of correction. Contacts do take a little while to get use to. Also are you wearing disposable or gas permiable contacts? :eek:

    I used to wear the disposables. Wore them for a week then threw them out and replaced with a new pair. If I can make a suggestion, save the money for lasik. It was $3000 for both eyes when I got it done 3 years ago. Definitely the best $3k I have ever spent. No more glasses, no more contacts, no more contact solution.
