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

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.

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.

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