sethrakI do so love visits to optometrists and opthamologists. ::dry smile::
What was supposed to be a shortish consult visit, followed by making an appointment for the actual hard contact fitting at some future point?
Turned out to be an actual fitting. Complete with multiple doses of numbing drops and orange dye drops, and scanning, photographing, and poking at my poor eyes. My left eyelid still has an orange blotch; apparently the dye sent my tear production into overdrive.
Poor![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davner had a ghastly time driving the Zodlings around in the car at the Academy while they waited. They started screaming as soon as he pulled away from the hospital, and only stopped when I called, several hours later, to let him know I was done. -_- He's earned chocolate chip cookies tonight.
On the upside, the current style of hard contacts does NOT constantly fall out of my eyes, and even when the numbing drops wear off, is only moderately irritating. I'm told after two weeks of regular use my eyes will become accustomed to the irritation and I won't notice they're there. If contacts with my proper prescription, as opposed to the semi-approximation of the trial contacts, make as much difference to my sight as promised, I'll grit my teeth for the two weeks. They'll call me back when the custom order is done.
Photos and tales of the Zodlings' first Easter with actual (allergen-free) chocolate bunnies will be forthcoming.
