I've decided to go without protection.

After over 20 years of activity, I decided today to go without protection. It's a weird feeling. Some people said that there is no other way. That wearing protection takes away the joy. I dunno. I dunno.

What I do know is that after trying once, I had to say "it won't stay in!". The opthalmologist told me gently to try again. Because I have done it before, I guess it was a matter of remembering. Like sex, putting in contact lenses is something you don't really forget how to do.

So I have them in now. After I left the office, I had to walk in the rain. Instinctively, I put my hands to shade my eyes. I don't think that rain drops and contact lenses mix very well, unless rain drops have saline in them.

That will be the worse part. Not having the protection of the hard lenses of my glasses to shield my eyes. Went looking for a pair of shades today. Massi Kingdom! The first one I liked cost $11,000. I asked the guy for the cheapest. He said $5,000. I remember I had bought a pair in Florida, I think it was in 2000, intending from then to get contacts but never did. Lazy. I just pulled them from the drawer, all bent from lack of use.

Right. My eyes are crossing up in front of me. I have to try hard to keep them open. We are going to the "cinemawr" tonight. Contemplating whether I should keep them for that. I dunno.

I wonder if I should do it without protection too. It's about time for me to change my lense and my frame, what do you think? New pair of glasses or be brave and get contacts?

Good luck!

my sunglasses advise is either to buy cheap cheap (as they get lost so easily!) Otherwise, make sure you get polarise ones as they are billiant. And I use sunglasses no end as I guess as a former full-time glasses person, my eyes are more sensitive

I used to do the expensive designer glass thing until I wised up. After years of sitting on them, stepping on them, losing them at the beach just days after spending say US$100 or more on them, I got smart. Now I have a few pairs of cheap glasses from xxxtras that I replace without leaving a major hole in my pocket.
