I’ve been wearing contact lenses for about seven months now, probably my fourth or fifth try over the years beginning in high school. Each previous time I had an allergic reaction on the inside of my eyelids—nothing serious, little bumps just uncomfortable enough to make me go back to glasses. Knock on wood but I’m finally confident that the material used in Bausch & Lomb’s brand new as of last Fall Pure Vision line won’t cause the same problem.
Wearing them isn’t a matter of vanity for me (I don’t think) but better vision and convenience. Having to clean them overnight once a week offers a good comparison on sight quality, each pair lasts for at least a month and, for example, wearing them out in the rain is an entirely difference. Though they’re not perfect as the allergy is still troubling me a bit and producing excessive amounts of… um… eye goo all day long.
Big thanks to my opthamologist, Dr. Ken Schwaderer, for taking terrific care of me, trying different lenses and approaches over quite a few appointments to get the right solution. Definitely consider Mountain View Optometry if you’re in the area and need a new doctor, nothing in it for me but do tell them I referred you.
