Poll of the Day > I dont wanna go to the eye doctor again

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's a fucking racket. Where can I... ya know... not have to do that? I wanna get some contacts without pointlessly spending 100 bucks for my doc to give me the same fucking prescription

how long do your contacts last?
---

Well the prescription lasts a year

seems about right, same thing, but I guess I don't need new glasses every year.

Eye prescriptions last forever wtf are you talking about?

Does you Doctor wear a tracksuit and operate out of an alley or something?

For most people, they change over time.

No. They dont. Lots of people change prescriptions over time. And most places that sell contacts need a prescription written in the last year. It sounds more like youre going to someone wearing a tracksuit, operating out of an alley...

Well I think it's a state thing and my state requires you to go every year. And its fucking bullshit

Yeah. It does suck. While I know some people's prescription change a lot, mine hasn't changed once yet...

Why not just wear glasses instead of contacts?

They can last several years at least. Then you drastically cut down how often you need to go to the eye doctor.

Maybe he has glasses, but also wants contacts. I have had a bunch of glasses at the same time. Most people do, I think. At least, most people I know that wear contacts. Some use them at night. Or when they go swimming. Or for when they run out of contacts...

I give anyone who can put contacts in easily tons of credit. I couldn't do it. I swear it took me 15 minutes each eye. Get caught on my eye lashes. Flip around and stick to my finger. Fall off. Try it again and again.

God forbid if I got pulled over by a cop. My eyes were so red and bloodshot from the irritation, I knew it's sobriety test time.

I use to have so much trouble with them. When I first tried to get them in high school, I couldnt get them in. I could touch my eye with the contact, but it stayed on my finger. Finally, about 5 or 6 years ago, I was finally able to get them in. The eye doctor was very helpful. Now, I can do them easier than before. Though, it can take a while sometimes...

After a little bit of practice you get used to it. I can put each one in within like 5 seconds now
