In case you haven't guessed, things are relatively quiet here at work and I am actually taking a lunch break (and writing for my blog). There are still lots of things going on, but nothing that keeps me working straight through lunch.
Last Friday I went to the eye doctor and was "fitted" for a new pair of contact lenses. I wore soft contacts regularly from age 11 to 33. I stopped because of minor eye irritation issues. I only have one set of eyes and want to take care-of them!
During the last few years I only wore my contacts for special occasions. However, my eyes seem to dry out by the end of the day, so I really hadn't considered going back to them full-time.
Because I will be doing more video stuff, I decided to ask my eye doctor if he had any suggestions. Not surprisingly, there have been many advances in the area of contact lenses. He suggested I try a different type of lens that is designed to let in a lot more oxygen than what I had been wearing. So I got a pair to try out.
I like them! Wearing them takes me back to my many years of wearing contacts and now I remember why it seemed so natural. Having the right "tool" for the job makes such a difference.
It is kind-of funny to be around people who only remember me in glasses. It took me a while to adjust to being in glasses. Now I am going through the reverse process, with the exception that it isn't taking me any time at all to get used to wearing contacts again.
