Most of you probably didn't know this, but I have been having problems with my contacts. It all started one Monday night during orchestra. My left eye started hurting, itching, and I was having trouble seeing out of it. The girl who sits next to me said my eye was all red. Well, I took my contacts out as soon as I got home. I figured I must have just gotten something in my eye or under my contact. My eye was pretty sore so I wore glasses for a few days. Then I put my contacts back it, and the same thing happened. I decided I should switch to a new pair of contacts to be safe. Well, I'd just gotten a new box from Walmart. Well, the first day I wore them there was absolutely no trouble. But that only lasted for one day. They started giving me headaches, I was having trouble with both of my eyes, and there were times I couldn't see very well at all.
I wondered if I have gotten a bad box of contacts, or maybe the wrong contacts. So, I called Walmart and explained everything to the nurse. She checked my records and said I got the right contacts, and she had never heard anyone say they were having the troubles, I had and that there was something wrong with my eyes, and I needed to see the eye doctor asap. Right, AAAHHH!!!!!!!
So, I finally got in to see the doctor on Thursday. And I am VERY pleased to report that there is NOTHING wrong with my eyes. The doctor said that I probably got a mislabeled contacts. So, I was right in the first place... I should be an eye doctor, I wonder how much money they make....
So, in the end, I paid money to be told that I got a bad set of contacts... at least my tax check is coming to pay for it. AND, the doctor gave me a prescription for a new type of contacts called Acuvue Osyas, they are the most comfortable contacts I have ever worn. They feel GRR8!!
I am so thankful that my eyes are all right, I was worried there for a while....
