    That photo of little you in glasses is adorable :) Thanks for making this! So important for people to know that contact lenses aren't 0 risk.

    Thanks, very informative.. here in India most doctors don’t recommend contacts as I have dry eyes. But I love the convenience so I wear for 5 to 6 hours typically.. acuvue vita.. I use refresh tears to generally lubricate my eyes, unfortunately we don’t have preservative free options here..

    I have been wearing contacts for 15 years. In the last 5 years, I have been so bad with wearing my contacts longer through the day (16+ hours per day). I would also continue using the same pair for months longer than I should have. I was hoping to get LASIK, but was told my cornea is too thin (410 if that makes sense). What are some things that I can do to heal my corneas? It was suggested that I do not wear my contacts, wear my glasses, and use eye drops every 1-2 hours /day.
    Thank you!

      Thanks for this info...I too live in India..Please can you tell your routine of cleaning the lenses? I got a brand new pair and they hurt so much, I can't wear for over a few seconds..When do you use eye drops?

      Hello. Here is something to consider before getting lasik done. I had gotten Lasik when I was 21 years old. I am now 44 and my eyesight is terrible. The lasik wore off after 10 years and I was back to wearing glasses.
      Back when I had lasik done, one thing that was never verbally mentioned to me was that Lasik doesn't last forever.
      My current optometrist compared it to getting cosmetic surgery done...the procedure results is not guaranteed to last forever without getting it redone. My eyesight now is as if I had never gotten lasik in the first place. I also experience terrible eye dryness that I didn't have before getting lasik.

    I've been wearing soft lenses for about 4 years now. Was previously wearing RGP lenses. Slightly off topic, but the RGP lenses were painful if something got in-between them and your eye!

      I prefer wearing glasses but sometimes I get blisters on my nose bridge from the constant friction and weight of the glasses' nose pad. It hurts when it gets in contact with anything so I think contact lenses are great to take a break from glasses from time to time. Sometimes when I have a headache, I prefer to be relieved off of my glasses
