Yipee! Got my contacts and I'm wearing them right now. The world seems so different now. For months, I've lived in 'blurness' because I refused to wear my specs in public. I mean, it looks so geeky. Imagine, pink and oval shape. LOL! Dad said it suits me when I went got it in Standard 5. Friends called me Harry Potter's wife. Lol, it was a joke to them but I don't take it seriously. I also got new specs. Nothing very stylish or geeky. Just plain and simple, the way I like it. Well, I think I'll have to wait two weeks before I can wear it. So meanwhile, I'll wear my contacts. The optometrist said I'll have to wear them every day for now as a 'trial' and I have to wear an additional two hours every day. Yeah, like yesterday I wore them for two hours. Today, I'll have to wear them for four. Tomorrow, six and so on until I get used to them. The freaky part is only taking them off and putting them on. It feels really funny touching your eyes to take them off and vice versa. Looks like I've to get used to them. Another two hours and I have to take them off. Eek, I wish I didn't have to. Taking them off is harder then putting them on. You have to pull your eyes bigger, look up, slide the lens down with the index finger and use the thumb together with the index finger to get a grip on it and pull it out. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Trust me, it's not. It gets kinda frustrating too when you can't get them out. Like yesterday, I could get the right one out easily but it took me about ten minutes to get the left one out. Not only that, you have to wash the lens with all kinds of liquid and then put them into the container for soaking so that it is ready for the next time you use it. This morning, I had trouble putting on the lens in my left eye. I keep blinking when the lens reaches my cornea which is not what I'm supposed to do. Here's the correct way: pull eyes bigger, gently put the lens on the cornea or the black part of the eye, look down, let go of upper lid, let go of bottom lid, blink and look straight. Phew, at least I finally managed to put the lens on. It's always the left eye that's giving me trouble, isn't it? LOL.
