[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 548452, member: 1514"] Billy needs to use contacts because his psoriasis is so bad where his glasses sit on his face and ears but he cannot get past the blinking issues to save his life. He just went to the eye doctor about three weeks ago and they just couldnt manage it. I tried contacts when I was working about 15 years ago and I loved them but I have such dry eyes and even dry other much membranes that I was putting drops in so often it was awful. I was always feeling like I had sand in my eyes. Other than that I loved wearing them because I hate wearing my glasses. I should be wearing bifocals but I cant get used to them. I end up having a pair of long distance tinted glasses in the car for distance driving and I am supposed to have a pair of bifocals in the house but I lost those several years ago. I think they either fell out of my purse in the yard and got run over or they got eaten by some dog. I dont know. I need to get to an eye doctor soon though and maybe I will try contacts again. They have better ones now. They have a really good chain near me called America's Best where you can get 2 pair for 69 bucks and the exam is free. Now if you get the exam for contacts the exam is 100 but that also includes the two pair of glasses too. Not a bad deal. I think the bifocals are a bit more...maybe a 100 instead of 69 so it may cost me about 120 or so but still...if I get out of there for around 150 or so that is a cheap visit for an eye exam with two pair of glasses and contacts.
