Ever since I was a baby, I've not had the best eyesight in the world. I suffered from a squint and a lazy eye, had to have eye patches AND glasses. When I was about fourteen, my eyesight got better and I didn't need glasses. Then it worsened again.
Now I have one stronger eye that is short-sighted and one weaker eye that is long-sighted. I need glasses for long-sighted activities such as driving and board work at sixth form, but I hated wearing them, so I decided to go for contact lenses.
The optician checked my eyes first to make sure my eyes were healthy and that contact lenses would be okay with my eyes. He then put a contact lens in one of my eyes (the strong short sighted one) as he thought I'd get away with not putting a lens in my long sighted eye as it is only a small prescription.
I then, under the instructions of another optician, had to remove the lens and place it back in three times. It was hard at first, really hard, but I was given some lenses to try. Now I wear them almost everyday. Its sometimes still awkward to get them out, but I think its the best thing I've done. It is honestly amazing.
What's putting you off contact lenses? You do know they can't get lost in your eyes, don't you?
