So a few months after I got pregnant with Phil, my contact lenses stopped being comfortable and I switched back to glasses full time. It didn’t seem too strange to me; I had read that your eyes can get really dry when you’re prego. So when Phil was born, I tried wearing contacts again and no dice. They just didn’t feel good when they were in and I had to take em out. So I decided to just wear glasses for a while, and it was totally cool.

We went to the eye doctor last week for a checkup, and I was telling my doctor I was just going to go with glasses for a while. And he’s like ok that’s cool, but consider the new wear them for 1 day disposable lenses. They may be good for things like swimming where you don’t want to wear glasses. Here, have some free samples.

OOOOOOOkay I says. And I take the free contact lenses. And I put them in. And omg they felt great. A few days later, I compared the numbers on the side of my new lenses with the numbers on the side of my old lenses that felt crappy in my eyes. The numbers were all different – like every aspect of my eyes has changed since Phil came along and it creeps me out! Every aspect except for that pesky blind spot. Wah wah wahhhhh.

Moral of the story folks:

get your vision checked!
