Default Speaking of Vision -- How 'bout Progressive Bifocals?

I wore contacts for 10 years, and grew to really hate the routine, as
well as what hay fever, dust, and air conditioning did to my eyes while
wearing them.


How long ago was that? Today's lenses are much more oxygen-permeable. For
many people, the "routine" now consists of wearing the lenses for a week,
taking them out, throwing them away, and putting in a new pair.


Over 10 years ago. Erg...gad. More like 20! Dang, how does this keep
happening to me? What seems like last week is now in the 1980s!

Anyway, I've spoken with folks about the new contacts, and how wonderful it
is to just throw them away when they get uncomfortable. It all sounds much
better than when I wore them.

But I still don't want to mess with them.
