contacts update
Sep. 15th, 2011 08:26 pmI'm wearing contacts off and on- my left eye really doesn't seem to be taking well, but that one's hardly impaired at all, so if I can treat the much milder dryness in my right eye it should be extremely workable. Certainly enough for martial arts, hopefully eventually for longer periods.
But the weird thing is how few people notice that a major feature of my face is missing. I've gotten no outright "where are your glasses?" and exactly one "you look different." The friend who notices every posture change, who sees improvements in my skin that even I hadn't, and who I'd been talking to on line about the contacts for day?, didn't notice.* Which leads me to believe that everyone knows Clark Kent is superman and they're just being polite about it.
*I checked and she genuinely didn't notice, it's not that she didn't want to draw attention to how horrible I look without glasses.
