5 Things Only People Who Wear Contacts Will Understand

When people complain they've got something in their eye: try having something in both eyes, all day, everyday.

I was blessed with absolutely awful vision, and so I’ve been wearing glasses for as long as I can remember. I got my first pair of contacts in my first year of high school and never looked back. Here are my top five most annoying things only people who wear contacts will understand.

1. When you put the lens in the wrong way.

Putting in your contacts has always been an uncomfortable feeling, but it's even worse when you decide to leave them that way, knowing it's not the right way.

2. When you are out of contact solution.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I always find myself mixing the last bit of solution with water. Hasn't failed me yet.

3. When one contact rips.

It's the main reason why I have an odd number of contacts. I always find myself wearing a pair of contacts more than the recommended two weeks. Yeah, I should probably stop doing that.

4. When you can't tell if the contact has fallen out.

The key is to remain calm. If you start rubbing your eye, you are just asking for an unnecessary panic attack.

5. Sleeping with your contacts on.

Sometimes I simply forget that I have my contacts on, and I'll just pass out and wake up with my eyes uncomfortably dry.

Must be nice not having to worry about wearing contacts or glasses. LASIK eye surgery is a must.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
