Never again will I wear my contacts beyond the recommended replacement time. O.O

Eye fungus can't be good.

If I didn't have enough reasons to not wear contact lenses.... LOL

Makes me glad I'm too lazy to put my contacts in half the time AND too cheap to spring for name brand solution. :P

My eye doctor tried to give me B&L products last month when I got my lenses. I flat out refused, stating I hated B&L because their saline irritated my skin. So they gave me the brand I use instead.

Now, I'm really really glad I did that.

I'm not clicking on that link for avoiding-vomiting reasons, but dude, I just went to the eye doctor yesterday for my yearly checkup, and he told me that my eyelids are inflamed from wearing the same pair of two-week contacts for the past SEVEN MONTHS.

I explained that I'm poor, but he wasn't into it.

Yep, I still have the one-year supply of monthly contacts that I got three years ago.

But you know? They're all the exact same thing, whether they are daily, weekly, monthly or permanents. Or so says my optometrist.

Damn. I should probably ditch mine then. I've had them for, mmn, two years? They were two-week wear-n-ditch originally . . . but hey, man, my eye doctor told me aeons ago that there isn't any difference between daily and extended wear soft contacts except the price.

Hmmn, still, I'm sure my Rx has changed in two years. ::ponders::

::mumbles to herself and promises to actually take her contacts out every night instead of leaving them on for weeks at a time::
