[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 548384, member: 47"] Terry - I have always had really bad eyesight with stigmatisms = at 10 I had bifocals - at 11 I got my first pair of contact lenses. They were hard because prior to that, the contacts covered your WHOLE eye, not just the Iris. And I have worn them my entire life almost - 50 years. I remember them telling my mother that the hard lens would go a long way on keeping my eyesight from getting worse as it corrects to almost 100%. Last year I decided to give soft lenses a go - FORGET IT. I could not only NOT get them in, I could not get them out to save my soul. doctor put them in and I told her I couldn't see as clearly -apparently that is the case with soft lenses vrs hard. Not to mention we had a disagreement over the dang mirror. She kept wanting me to use it to put them in but the doctor with my first pair wouldn't allow me to try to put them in or out with a mirror "because you are not going to have a mirror available every where you go". I did try but its one thing having a lens on your finger, looking past the lens to put it in while your other eye is shut and putting it towards one eye and another actually looking at yourself trying to stick something in your eye. It kinda hovered about the soft lens because I was soooo looking forward to getting some of those different eye colors LOL Marcie [/QUOTE]
