I'm not so sure of that. I remember when I first got glasses, from first through third grades I went to a school where all the work was done on the desks. In fourth grade a lot of the work was written on the board, which I couldn't read unless I walked right up to it. I went home with a note from the teacher and off we went to the optometrist. A couple of weeks later my glasses arrived and it was like opening a new world. I loved to read and there was writing everywhere that I had never seen. Billboards and signs popped out and they had stuff to read on them! Definitely a life-changing experience!
My contacts have given me a very good demonstraion of what "normal" 20-20 vision is like. I could live with that if it were my uncorrected vision, but if I'm going to have to go through the bother I much prefer the "High Def" 20-15 vision that my glasses provide!
Amen to that. It took me an hour and a couple of YouTube videos to figure out how to do that!

Haha see makeup is totally useful for something other than looking pretty! You should have joked with her and said, "I knew years of putting on eyeliner would pay off!"

I've been a glasses wearer since about age twelve. Only my vain female alter ego wears contacts. Took to them right away.
Resisted getting bifocals and reading glasses with contacts till just this year and my big 5-0 birthday.
If your not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.
They only come out when you are standing on ground with water drops and then you sneeze.
Kim,
I am with you on the getting old part. I did the contacts thing a year or so ago. Like you I had very little trouble getting them in and out. Be careful with the eyeliner with them in. Boy does it hurt when you get something in your eye with contacts in.

Well THAT explains what I've been doing wrong then! By the way, last night was the first time I got them out without a lot of effort. I just held my hands in front of my eyes and had my wife slap me hard in the back of the head. The funny thing is, she was only too happy to give a hand . . .They only come out when you are standing on ground with water drops and then you sneeze.

A tip for taking stubborn contacts out: hit them with a drop or two of GenTeal solution (or such like) a few seconds prior to trying.
I remember having to do to my ophthalmologist with a contact that migrated to the top of my eye a few years ago, OUCH!
Tried to wear contact lens about 10 years ago but today I still wear glasses.
