As someone who can hardly stand to put in eyedrops (my eyelid involuntarily squeezes shut practically just at the thought of it), I'm impressed you succeeded with contacts!
“How brave you are for trying something new at your age.” I could write volumes about that but think I’ll just skip it. I just decided I will pay the $ not covered by Medicare (all of it) to be fitted for an oral appliance that is supposed to treat my sleep apnea. I used the CPAP machine for a full year diligently but under duress until I just couldn’t stand it anymore. So the CPAP is now sitting in the closet, and I’m crossing my fingers (how is that working for anybody) that being willing to pay for trying something new will work for me!
I was picturing you putting the contact lens in your eye. 😉 I had contacts for years and gave them up close to 10 years ago. When I became pregnant with our youngest child, my vision just kept improving even years after he was born. My prescription for my contact lenses was never super strong, but once my vision got better to the point of no longer truly needing them, I stopped and bought a new pair of glasses. I just need my glasses for driving, etc. My husband wears daily wear lenses that last for a month. Not extended wear, but daily. He loves them. You’ll have to let us know how you continue to do with your contact lenses, Mary!

Let's not call it "success" yet. I ended up in tears (at home) unable to get one of them in. I had to ditch them, put on my glasses and go to work.

Just another trip around the sun isn't it? I have read about those oral appliances. I will cross my fingers for you. Hee/Hee
