Our team owner Jack wanted to peel em off my eyeball with long tweezers that came outta the tool box. I told him hell no! Went to the eye doc and she used long tweezers to get em out. Do not like the sight of something coming towards my eyeball!!!!

Holy crap!!!

I sleep with the monthly's and rinse em when my eyes start to get irritated.

Right now I'm using dailys but the monthlys provide better vision. Unfortunately there's a year supply to use bf I go back.

I had Lasik in my left eye almost 10 years ago. As my left eye had better farsight than my right. This gave me mono vision that has worked quite well up until this year.

Now I find myself needing reading glasses for small print and in low light conditions. Just typing this on the computer in the office is no problem. Wendy losing your up close vision is just one of those things that happens. Welcome to your "mature" years

My grandfather did the same thing and it worked for a very long time. Can you define mature? Haha

That's actually common. I had Lasik also for near-sightedness 12 years ago and still have 20/20 vision as far as near-sightedness goes, I do have reading glasses. It was still worth every penny to me, I would do the same again. My eye Doctor said just buy the cheapo reading glasses if they work for you, don't spend a lot of money on them. I buy for a couple of bucks and have them all over the house, auto's, boat and garage. Not a big deal to me, you didn't waste your money.
