What would you say to someone..
 

That wears one contact lens at a time. For months in one eye, then for months in the other eye.

He gets headaches and cannot figure out why?

He's cheap as all hell too, for those wanting a hint.

one sock on, one sock off too :eek:

barbie socks.

Chugging the Hater-aid much?

I've been doing that for over 10 years now .. I have great short vision and bad long vision ... but the contacts compromise my short vision some ... so I'm getting the best of both worlds by only using one at a time. It's just as comfotable as having both in. I learned this once when I lost one and didn't want to put it back in cause it was dirty. After like 2 minutes .. its the same thing.

Plus I hated putting them in and taking them out ... so by keeping one in 4-to-8 weeks .. I might be putting stress on that one eye .. but it will get a long breather once I switch.

Plus .. I'm saving money on buying those stupid ass things all the time - and every year they want to make you get an eye exam .. I buy enough so that I run out about once every six or seven years at my rate.

So...

Pros: Improving vision, less hastle, saving money, avoiding expensive worthless eye exams, and improved health because one eye is always being kept fresh and naked.

Cons: None

I never have had frequent headaches .. and though my eyes are sensative to light sometimes .. especially when I have a headache .. I remember the same thing happening before I ever had lenses.

Wait. . . what? You only wear a contact in one eye at a time? Do you close the eye you're not using?

Take a day off from pushing 5k thru the windows at toga....then go and get the lasik done.

No.

You guys should try it. If you can get through the first 3 minutes the first time .. you'll see how well your eyes adapt. You won't notice a thing.

It's a lot easier to read this way... for me anyway.

How's this for full circle:

age 8 got glasses
age 14 got contacts
age 38 got Lasik
age 44 got reading glasses
age 45 got contacts again

it's not your eyes adapting. it's your brain.

your eyes are the same regardless of the lens you stick in front of them.

interesting experiment. glad i wasn't driving in front of you when it started.

Maybe all that added excersize I'm giving my brain to make it adapt is why I'm smart. Chalk up another one for the Pro category.

Hopefully my brain doesn't just give out one of these days from too much excersize though .. that would be the Con categories one great hope of staging an impossible come from behind victory.

I know I tell you this on a nearly daily basis, but I think you really might be retarded.

If I put a top 10 retarded things you've done in just the last two months thread here, frankly, people wouldn't believe me!

Oy.

Bend over and use your good eye!!!

You might want to take out your lens a little more than every 3 - 4 months! The protein deposits can cause this:

I'm afraid you will need to translate that Sighty. Or maybe Doc can (ICU, not Roller).

Basically, blisters under the eyelid with puss coming out of the eye.

Eye Patch ?

If it doesn't make him less pretty, I'm not sure he'll think that matters.

Apparently not a trip handicapper.

blind eye sees all.......

Cataract surgery up next?
