Wow… these contact lenses are pretty damn cool. Now that my eyes are adjusted to the lenses, as of tomorrow I’ll be able to wear these lenses continuously for 30 days and 29 nights. Tomorrow night I’ll actually be able to sleep in my lenses. 30 days? Pretty cool how technology develops. I should imagine you’ll soon by able to buy continuous wear lenses that you can leave in indefinitely.

It’s really strange wearing lenses after 15 years of glasses – I now have ‘proper’ periphery vision again – I can actually see things in focus out of the corner of my eye. It’s taken a bit of getting used to but I’m really happy.

I do get a bit of eye strain after a long coding session but I’m sure that will pass once I’m completely used to the lenses. If not, I guess I’ll just have to pop them out and put my glasses on for a bit.

I’m still having a bit of trouble getting them in and out, but that’s just because I have freakishly sensitive eyes. The missus just sticks hers straight over the middle of her eye, I have to look to one side and put the lens on the white of my eye and sort of slide it over. It’s not a problem except that sometimes the lenses don’t quite stick and fall out.

I was thinking of buying some ‘fun’ coloured lenses soon, but they don’t affect your eyesight so if I wear them I’ll be pretty much blind and I don’t think you can wear two sets of lenses at once!
