Anyone else leave their contacts in too long?

[silverstar1025]

I leave mine in way longer than I should before changing them out and sleep in them all the time. Well today I am in glasses because I must have waited too long this time and gave myself an eye infection. Crap! Usually my contacts bug me a lot sooner so I switch them out. I had no isses so didn't change them until my eye burned this morning. Yes I need help before I go blind.

Get LASIK or LASEK.

I leave mine in all the time, while I sleep, and don't change them for a long, long, time, so bad for the eyes... bad habit... I'm gonna start wearing specs in december, and looking forward to that, getting them from optical shop of aspen... very pricey so I have to save up.

I don't wear any (glasses only as needed for reading), but am thinking of getting LASIK, any thoughts?

Yeah I want Lasik bad. Maybe next year.

How long do you go between changing? I think I had mine in 2 months this time.

I want to do it, but my only concern is they will just go bad again since I am on a computer all the time. I guess if it will at least last a few years it will still be money well spent.

You should do it, I would but can't afford it, right now, but I also like wearing glasses so I can look smart... don't have to be smart to look it, which I dig.

As soon as you do you will go - Dang, why did I wait so long to do this.

The computer did it for me too, my eyes were pretty good till I started reading EF (coincidence, I think not).

Ariel, you dont' have to look smart to be smart - you are smart already.

People in a good pair of glasses look sexy. My hubby just bought some nice ones because his contacts were really bugging him. They look very sexy. I keep teasing him calling him my sexy nerd.

You can always keep some clear glasses around for when you are trying to look different or want to look serious. Difference is, that is an option not a necessity.

Yep!! I will get Lasik once I am able to do it. Hubby has already allowed me to spend a lot of money on myself so I will let him do Lasik first because I am a good wife. He wants to get it done too.

The very last time I wore contacts (blue ones), I kept them in for a year. After that, my eyes were always watering when I wore contacts and I had to switch back to glasses. I finally ponied up and got Lasik surgery for my eyes and have never had any problems.

I had LASIK done 18 months ago. Best decision of my life so far.

All the reports I've read so far, frequent PC / TV usage has not been cited as a factor for visual regression. Headaches / Migraines perhaps, that subsequently may affect your vision temporarily.

Peoples' vision generally settles between late teens - early 20s. For most, next stage of possible degradation is natural presmyopia experienced in your mid 40s onwards, so you'll get a few years out of it at least barring surgical regression.

They say eye surgery is continually evolving, but to be honest I really can't see much room for improvement beyond what's currently on offer in the near future.

The best part will be when he looks over at the alarm clock from his bed and he realizes that he can SEE it.

It was the best feeling after spending all that money.
