My eyes are really bad. My prescription is -11 diopters, which translates into 20/1800. Which, to emphasize, what I see at 20 feet is what normal people see at 1800 feet. 1800 feet is a third of a mile. Or half a kilometer. My eyes are really bad.

I wear hard contact lenses, because neither soft contacts nor glasses will hold my prescription. It's great in part, because I've been wearing this particular pair of contacts for over three years. But after a while, they can get protien deposits, and you can barely see a thing.

That happened to me yesterday. My right contact got all cloudy, and I couldn't see through it all day. It was driving me nuts. I tried cleaning it well last night, but no dice. So I bought an enzyme cleaner at Osco this morning and soaked my lenses all morning. I wore my glasses, which are really cute, but give me a headache. I probably should have grabbed my spare pair of lenses, which are a prescription ago, but being fuzzy is better than having headaches.

The enzyme thing worked okay, but I'll have to send my lenses in for cleaning and polishing soon. Which means that I'll have to wear my old lenses for at least a week.
