Artificial.

My artificial eye...mwhahahaha.

I was so pleased to be done with my lenses this evening. I have dailies so I can throw them out immediately.

I was so upset when my sight suddenly and significantly failed when I was 16, I already had a brace on my teeth (I was too vain when I was 13 to have a brace then and then too vain to not have the brace later so I had one at 16 and made them take it off 2 days before I left for university), when I realised I was to have glasses as well......horrors :)

It wasn't cool at all then and so I immediately had lenses for my 17th birthday present which were painful and a faff. How many times I put them in after bleaching them without rinsing I do not know, suffice to say that the glasses would have looked better than my pink eyes!

When I was able to get dailies at an affordable price I never looked back. I don't wear them as often as I did as I like glasses now and they are easier. I do like to take them out slowly in front of the children to freak them out!

  1. Ah ah, love your post. Artifical eye !!!
    I wear glasses and I hate that but I can't read without (and hardly even with, lol). As I have progressive glass for far away too, I know they do lenses for that but they say it doesn't work so well. May be in a couple of years !xx

  3. Oh me too! I didn't need glasses till I was 30 and it took me till I was 40 to pluck up courage to get lenses, wish I'd done it earlier.
