I started wearing contacts about two weeks ago. Given my inability to filter out my surroundings I have a difficult time not noticing I have them in at all times. I switched from one brand to another on Neil’s suggestion which has reduced the amount of time I spend noticing them.

Earlier today my eyes were bugging me so I decided I’d put in some eye drops. Drops go in the right eye, drops in the left eye. My right eye was still bugging me so I figured I’d take out the contacts. That’s odd, can’t seem to get the contact out of the right eye. The left eye produces a contact lens without fuss, but ten minutes of rolling my eye around and attempting to find a lens produces nothing. Perhaps I dropped it in the sink? On the floor? Down the drain? I’ll stop by Rainbow Optics tomorrow and get a replacement lens.

Ten minutes later, my right eye is still bugging me. Another twenty minutes and I can’t seem to stop blinking. Then it happens: I blink a few times and the contact lens falls to my desk in a crumpled mess. Now where have have you been for the past half hour?
