Re: contact lenses for swimming



dave, i can't see at all without glasses. unlike most glasses wearing
girls who claim to be blind as a bat when things are just a little
blurry, i have no measurabel vision, meaning that 20/xxx has no real
meaning. i have worn glasses since i was in the stroller, and even then
they were thick. im just waiting for the day i can have surgery or
even just wear contacts for more than an hour or so.
