Today seems to be better with the new glasses. At least I don't have a queasy
stomach, and the headache is not nearly as bad as it was yesterday.

I have been wearing glasses since i was 4 years old so you can say nearly my
whole life (I am 48). In all those years I have only tried to wear contacts once
about 12 years ago. The eye Dr put me in a toric (ridged) lens and for the 6
months that I had them it felt like someone stuck a baseball in my eye.

When I talked to the eye Dr with this visit, I told him I would like to try contacts
again but I didn't want hard or torics. He told me that with the significant amount
astigmatism that I had especially in my left eye that he could give me soft contacts
but that the amount of vision loss would be so high that I would have to wear glasses
to compensate the difference.

Well heck if I am going to have to wear glasses that way I may as well forget about
the contacts.


As for the significance of the case it is in my TWO favorite colors, it was almost
like this case was made for me (which I know it wasn't).

Thanks for the replies and the encouragement.


Quilty hugs to all of you.
