On & Off; Off & On

So I’m having to decide between these two things:

On & Off:  Wear my usual prescription glasses all day every day, excepting when I want to read something at a normal distance with a normal size font – then I’ll take the glasses off

Off & On:  Wear my fancy new astigmatism contacts all day, and pull out my cheaters when I want to be overcome with nausea read.

Oh, so difficult to decide.  My decision isn’t at all affected by the fact that I like wearing glasses, have a source for cheap glasses, and hate touching my eyes.

I’ll probably still take the free boxes of contacts (yay for internet coupons!) so that I have contacts for those days where it might be nice not to have glasses in the way (if I ever take in a 3D movie, or want to go somewhere sunny and wear sunglasses?).

At least now I know – contacts really aren’t for me.

    I vote for alternating… Some days with the contacts, some without. I probably should give my eyeballs more of a rest from them, but I love love the freedom to wear sunglasses (as those near and dear know well). I also recently discovered a stigmatism… Oh, the joys of getting older…

  • We’re trying out multifocal contacts now. These may actually end up working. Strange, strange!

    Then I’ll need sunglasses. :)
