1 800 Contacts

Glasses are a strange thing. There is so much lore about them. The same glasses that make one guy look like a complete nerd, might make a buddy holly famous. Some people love their glasses, but I hated mine when I was growing up. People would call me the usual: four eyes, as if that were original. My parents wouldn't buy me contacts. My dad thought that lenses were good enough for him, that they'd be good enough for me too. You can bet all that changed when I got to college.

I was glad that I ordered my contacts from 1 800 contacts, except that sometimes they would burn my eyes. This is one of the most common side effects of contacts – eye irritation. If you wash them sufficiently, and frequently, it should not be too much of a problem, though. Another thing is that you have to remember to take them out every night, and to change them frequently. And then theres the feeling of having contacts floating around on your eyeball. It is weird. That is the only way I can describe it. Weird.

It is funny how much different I look with my contacts than with my glasses. A few times I have met people who I used to spend time with, and they didn't even recognize me. Some times I'll even be introduced to old friends as my own cousin as a joke, and once that even worked. It is also nice to have contacts because you can see better than with glasses. This may sound strange, but glasses do not give you the full range of vision like contacts do. With contacts your entire peripheral vision is in focus.

The only thing that you have to watch out for is sensitivity. Some people can not wear contacts, and so if they called 1 800 contacts and ordered a who bunch of them like I did, they would waste their money on something they could not even use. I'm glad I was lucky enough not to have that problem.
