CONTACT(s)!!!

[SiberianDVM]

Today, when I went in for an eye exam and new distance glasses, I bit the bullet and got my first ever set of contact lenses. :wow:

It took me 15 minutes to get the darn things in!!

So off I go to the range to see if I could hit a ball using the contacts. Normally I have to wear distance glasses to even hit the ball, and with them I can see great. But in this heat and humidity, I have been miserable between the sweat and fogging.

I can honestly say I have never hit the ball better. After I got home, taking them out was a breeze.

Getting them back in may be a trial, but I plan to only wear them when I play golf, so I guess I'll just get up an hour earlier on golf days.

First tourney with contacts is Saturday. :mgw:

 

[N.V.M.]

i should try those. HATE it when it rains and glasses get wet.

I have been wearing contactlenses since i am 16 (i'm 29 in a month, so do the math), could not think living without them, especially on the golf course. I do (especially in tournaments) have a spare pare of emergency glasses with me, but I have never had the need to use them, luckily...


Regarding the 15 min. "inputtime"...You get used to it. I do it in less then 10 sek. for both eyes and without a mirror...

Years ago when I used to shoot competitive archery (17th in the nation btw and two time state champion) I got contacts so I could shoot better in the rain. When aiming I would just be steadying down and ready to release (about 15 seconds) and they'd start to dry out and blur. They were the soft ones too. So much for that idea. Another problem was you weren't supposed to sleep with them or they'd glue your lid closed (or something like that) and I always was taking cat naps. But for golf I'll bet they're perfect.
