Current Events > if i've never worn contacts before...

(+) Yeah! (+)

and i've been wearing glasses for my astigmatism for almost 26 years...

how hard would it be to adjust?
---

it's probably be a bother at first, you can't just wear glasses anymore?

Imagine having to touch your eye with the same finger you pick your nose with
---

Not too hard. I swap back and forth between contacts and glasses with little issue. When I first started wearing them, it only took me a week to get used to it.

i'm just sick of glasses. i can wear them

also i allegedly look better with my glasses off.

i also apparently have ugly coloured eyes so i was gonna think about coloured contacts if i could get them made for my astigmatism

it'll take you like a week to get used to it but its easy. the first and most important thing to get used to is "touching your eye". i put that in quotes because you aren't really touching it. the contact protects your eye when you put them in and take them out. so don't be afraid to stick your finger in there. you don't have to press hard at all as the contact will easily catch your eye while going in and slide out when coming out.

why don't you have a picture of Rei for you avatar hmm?

because i'm fucking lazy.
---

well don't that just beat all

You can get colored contacts, I used to until the brand I used stopped making them
---

The transition isn't bad at all, and I go from glasses to contacts all the time, been wearing contacts nearly 20 years. You will see better, and have a better field of view, I think it helps tremendously with depth perception and overall quality of vision.
---

i don't remember what my prescription was last time. it's also been like 5 years. should probably get a new one.

just tried to log into my imgur account to get the Rei picture i have and it won't let me in, telling me the account doesn't exist.
---

how much do coloured contacts go for?
---

ive been wearing circle lenses for like a decade now. youll feel a little dizzy especially when going down a flight of stairs I guess.

my contacts generally cost 25 bucks off of pinkie paradise, they last a year.

Breath of Fire III (3)

oh. never heard of it

smh

Getting them out is a lot harder than putting them in.
My advice is to remain calm the first time you try to get them out.

i already told you, i ripped it from an Eva fanfic called Nobody Dies, back in 2012 or something, when i was a massive weeb. In it, Rei's some sort of super powered eldritch abomination that everyone's afraid of.
