People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
I only use contacts at the range, so dailies are great.

Is Lasik/PRK the new dental plan? Because the dental plan was still dental plan, last time I checked and real vision was just bonus.

A laser correction can make your vision better than 20/20 permanently.

The ones you put in your eyes and forget about for a month are way better. Minimises finger in eye time significantly. The only problem is I've completely lost sensation in my eyes and I have very long eyelashes, so every now and then I go fishing in my eye and find dozens of eyelashes all gunked up as if my eye was trying to digest them.

Laser eye surgery has very few downsides if you get it done by someone reputable and experienced. You can always do one eye at a time ;)

I buy quality contacts that last me at least a month. Every night I put them in hydrogen peroxide cleaner and every morning they are as fresh and functional as new. I'm sorry you have no sense of quality or efficiency, OP.

yeah this is why I'm a big baby. I probably looked at this like 10 times over the years and was going for the expensive good places, then decided to do one eye at a time in case there was a gently caress up and then said why the gently caress am I doing this if I'm worried about a gently caress up

but brand new contacts every day fuckin owns

:lol: if you actually throw away perfectly good contacts every day and buy more.

My contacts are supposed to be thrown away every two weeks. gently caress that poo poo. My optometrist makes enough loving money. I think I've been wearing the one in my right eye for six months and my left eye for over a year.

Buy a new $100 box of contacts every month? Yeah, suck my dick, Doc :gizz:

On that note, an optometrist would probably know the best remedy for getting cum in his eyes.

fyi those contact websites say to put your doctor's name down so they can verify your prescription, but if they can't reach the doctor because it's a bad number or something they just send them anyway

im sure contacts are very nice but they are just not for me...imo nothing beats a spot on looking set of glasses esp if they naturally suit ur facial structure/hair/etc (and of course u actually require corrective lenses), i :love: my oliver peoples frames and wouldnt trade them for any other pair they are as much a part of me as my Casio F-91W

Contacts are great because 80% of all eyeglasses are owned by the same company and inflated to ridiculous prices.
