Super irritating

April 27, 2012
If you have never worn contacts before, then you've never experienced the irritation from having a slight tear in one of them and being stuck at work with no spare and no glasses.

It's more than irritating.

For several days now, the contact in my right eye had been bugging me. It felt like it was inside or dirty but I could never figure out why. Then today at work, my eye itched like crazy and it was like I had a blind spot right down the middle of my eye.

I knew the tear had finally come.

I carefully examined my contact and found a tear right down the middle. But it hadn't ripped all the way yet so I decided to tough it out until I got home. The second I took it out, it ripped right in half. That was close... had it ripped all the way while I was at work, I wouldn't have been able to legally drive home because I am nearly blind!
