No it's not. When they dialate your pupils you have to wear sunglasses afterwords because you're all sensitive to light. And that obviously not the case because a minute later the doctor shines a light in my eye and it doesn't bother me all that much. 🙄

❌ I've had my eyes dilated before. They put some eye drops in it, do their light thing, then your eyes stay dilated for like four hours, and you have to walk about with ugly sunglasses. I can walk into a lit hallway after the air thing and my eyes are perfectly fine and not dialated.

I just went and got a new prescription last month. The doc will check out your eyes and usually he'll have lenses on hand that are your prescription and then you'll wear those home and order some to last you about a year. Then the first time you get contacts they'll show you haw to put them in and take care of them etc etc. But they don't really suck that much. You just have to take them out every night and the first couple weeks you have them it takes a while to put them in in the morning. I like them because I have peripheral vision that I didn't have with glasses and everybody looks better in contacts anyway.

....yeahthat's getting your pupils dilated
I just got the contact lenses today. At first they were a ***** to get in and an even bigger ***** to get out but they're better than glasses. I'm astonished that I can see without the glasses on. The bad thing is earlier I felt kind of nauseated(sp?) when I sat down to eat.
But anyway, w00t. I hope I have good luck with them.

A lot of people I have spoken to about contacts say they're a big hassle and suck really bad. Are they really that bad? I have an appointment made for Tuesday the 27th to get some. How long, appx., does it take for the contacts to be made in my prescription and come in, if anyone knows?
they arent a hassle...i cant even tell Im wearing them.. they take like 2 seconds to clean up for the day 🙂
