Time and Contacts frustration
Written 3/29/2024.
I’m a victim of my own success, back-to-back meetings on my focus days. The place I struggle are days like today, Good Friday and the end of the month. There are always last-minute sign ups and people wanting something.
I wanted to work until noon, then have the afternoon free.
We’ll, it didn’t work out as well as I would hope. About 2:30 pm is when I was able to wrap up. Go for a short ride on my Harley, then head over for my contact follow up. This is where they make sure my eyes are okay and talk to me about any issues I may be having.
I’m having a lot of issues.
Mostly I can’t f*king take the damn things out. I spend 20 minutes and they don’t budge. I have finally resorted to using soft tweezers designed to help take the contacts out. It still takes many tries and 20 minutes.
When I met with the optometrist, I expressed my frustration and that I want to try the multi-focal lens as my vision is a little fuzzy with them. One eye is set for distance, one set for close up. My brain is having issues with this.
He said it’s the nature of contacts and my prescription that I won’t have as perfect of vision as with glasses. I knew there was a reason I had been avoiding them for 40 years.
I just want to be able to put them in and know that I can take them out when I need to. I still put them in and struggle to take them out every day as I need to be able to do this.
My eyes are red and painful but there isn’t much I can do other than persist. It’s important for my passion project that I have the option of wearing contacts.
I’ll just keep on keeping on.
