[FW] Ten Reasons I Prefer Wearing Contact Lenses Over Glasses


It's hard for me to believe I have been wearing contact lenses for about 25 years, starting when I was in sixth grade. I well remember the frustration of learning how to put them in and take them back out and how I would be on the verge of giving up.
Then there were the many times I would lose a contact. Sometimes I forgot to plug the sink and would see it drop down the sinkhole. My dad would take the sink apart to try to find my contact. Sometimes there was no hope of finding a lost contact and I "practically died" because I had to wear my glasses to school.
Despite the obstacles, I was determined to wear contacts! I wore hard contacts until I was about 32 when I discovered that even though my prescription was like -11, I could wear soft contacts. I found these to be much more comfortable than hard contact lenses.
There have been times in my life I have been resigned to wearing glasses. Like when I first became a mom and didn't get much sleep. It was nearly impossible to pry my eyes open to get contacts into them.
Recently, I had used my last set of contacts and didn't want to order a new box until my insurance was going to pay for them so I was forced to wear glasses for about a month. I was reminded during that time how much I prefer wearing contact lenses over glasses.

Ten Reasons I Prefer Wearing Contact Lenses Over Glasses

I can see better when I wear my contacts
It's true! My husband, who wears glasses, does not believe me when I tell him this. But according to my optometrist (who has a similar prescription as me and who also prefers wearing contact lenses) you can see better when you wear contacts because they are directly on your eye.
My glasses fog up on me
Whether it's right after a hot shower, taking something hot out of the stove or coming inside from the cold, my glasses fog up on me causing temporary blindness. Coming in from the cold is especially a pain if you live in North Dakota where the winters can extend over half a year. It's impossible to avoid going out in the cold and equally impossible not to frequently come inside to warm back up again.
My glasses get precipitation or sweat on them
Speaking of winter and the cold, the snow presents another obstacle when wearing glasses. The snow causes the glasses to get all wet which makes it hard to see. Rain also causes this annoyance.
Then there are those rare times that I exercise to the point of sweating. Who can exercise while wearing glasses? The sweat drips down into my glasses causing everything to be a blur. It's a gross feeling to be sweating and wearing glasses!
Wearing sunglasses is much easier while wearing contacts
Another weather-related reason in which I prefer wearing contacts over glasses. Although the sun rarely seems to come out these days, it is so much easier to wear sunglasses while wearing contacts.
I do know some people who wear sunglasses over their glasses but they have to be pretty big sunglasses and there are some people whose glasses automatically adjust to the light. For me when it's bright and sunny I prefer to wear my contacts with a cool pair of shades blocking out the light.
Applying make-up is much harder without wearing my contacts
When I wear my glasses, it usually means I am very tired or not feeling well or just too lazy to put my contacts in, which means I'm not puttin' on makeup. The few times I had to wear glasses and wear make-up, it was a disaster! I am nearly blind without contacts or glasses so when I put on my make-up, I have to have my face right up to the mirror so I can kinda see what I'm doing.
Usually before I start the process of putting on make-up, I have to have everything laid out on the counter because if I try to dig through my drawer to find the make-up, I end up grabbing the eyeliner instead of the lipstick and eye shadow instead of blush.

I'm always pushing my glasses back up on my nose
Maybe I just need to get them adjusted but my glasses always seem to be falling down on my nose. It seems that every five minutes or so, I am pushing them back up where they belong.
My daughter knocks my glasses off my face
Sometimes when I'm sitting with my daughter or sitting close by, she has been known to knock my glasses sideways or right off my face. I know she does not do this on purpose. She has cerebral palsy and due to her spasticity, has a hard time controlling her muscles. I don't have to worry about her knocking off my glasses when I'm wearing contacts.
Night driving seems harder with glasses
I don't know what it is, maybe the glare of the lenses, but I do not like to wear my glasses while driving at night. It seems especially treacherous at night when it is raining. I make a point to not wear my glasses while driving at night if I can help it.
My glasses are constantly dirty
I don't know how they get so dirty. I am constantly taking them off to clean them on my shirt or when they are really bad, I use the cleaning spray for eye glasses and wipe them off with that special soft cloth. Somehow my glasses manage to get prints, smears and smudges on them several times throughout the day.
I feel more confident when wearing my contacts
I hope this doesn't sound vain but I really do feel better about my appearance when I'm wearing contacts as opposed to wearing my glasses. If I have to be in front of a group of people or have an important meeting, I feel more confident wearing my contacts instead of my glasses. There are some people I think look better wearing glasses and I know there are those who like to wear glasses just to change up their look but this just isn't me!

Glasses vs. Contacts

To me, wearing glasses is more of a pain than anything. Although I'm sure there are others who feel just the opposite. I know one thing for sure - not having to wear glasses or contacts would be great! I can't imagine what it would be like to open my eyes in the morning and be able to see clearly!
I know of several people who have had lasik eye surgery and have said it is worth it. This too has its pros and cons - my optometrist said she would never have the surgery because one little slip and she might not have any vision at all. I think if I could afford it though, I would do it.
For those who have perfect vision and don't even have to think about glasses, contacts or lasik surtery - you are truly blessed!

[FW] 白內障手術記實

白內障手術記實 分享:       標題是記實,但其實是一點心得感想~~  身為高度近視,年輕時很少戴太陽眼鏡,因為當時的變色鏡片功能不多沒有現在的全視線那麼好,再加上又常常在大太陽下和狐群狗黨騎著野狼到處飆,所以才剛滿一甲子的功力,左眼的白內障就影響到我的工作,不得不開刀處理掉.之前有請教過醫師何時開白內障比較適當,醫師的說法是~當覺得對你的生活造成影響時便應該要手術了.  如果一定要說明白一點的話,那應該是說:當矯正後的視力只能在0.5、0.6時,便應該要手術了.而我當時左眼的視力矯正後還有0.8,但因為會影響到我的工作,幾經考慮後,便決定要手術.手術前護理師幫我做了幾項必須的測量工作~近視度數、散光度數、眼軸長度 ... 等,這些是跟置換的人工晶體有關連的,所以當護理師在測量請你看左邊看右邊 ... 時,你一定要做確實.  手術當天照約定時間來到診所,一般檢查後便點了散瞳劑及麻藥,等瞳孔放大後就進入無菌手術室,躺上手術檯後再點一次麻藥,蓋上布只留左眼,醫師囑咐不要轉動眼睛只要看手術燈即可.因為已散瞳再加上一直看強光,所以視線都是濛濛的,只能聽到手術儀器的聲音及醫師的聲音: ... 放輕鬆 ... 眼睛不要用力 ... 快好了 ... 等等.因為有點麻藥,所以手術的過程中一點都不會痛,而且真正的手術時間也只有約10分鐘左右(猜的),只是在過程中可以隱約的看到手術器材在眼前晃來晃去,而感到有一點莫名的緊張.  我從小四發現有近視後一直到小六才開始戴眼鏡(全校師生只有我一個人戴眼鏡,在當時可算是相當轟動的),戴了一輩子的眼鏡早已把眼鏡視為必須品,就算手術後裝上人工晶體可以免除戴眼鏡的麻煩,我也決定要保留一點度數以便可以繼續戴眼鏡(... 怪胎),又因為我愛看書,所以左眼預留了近視250度,因為這個度數剛好是老花眼看近用的度數.  手術後左眼250度,但右眼還是高度近視,兩眼的視差太大.雖然右眼也有一點點白內障,且矯正視力仍然有1.0,應該是不需要手術,但因為視差太大所以在左眼手術後的半個月就開了右眼的白內障,我除了愛看書之外也常用電腦,所以決定右眼保留近視150度,因為這個度數剛好是老花眼看電腦的度數.這樣我只需要在外出時才戴眼鏡就行了,平時在室內看書用電腦都可以不用戴老花眼鏡. ...
