Short delay for my Green Thumb Sunday post

by

Sorry gang, my GTS post is going to be delayed until sometime tomorrow. Well .. hopefully I’ll be able to post it by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

I had a bad allergic reaction earlier this afternoon after putting in my contact lense. Geez I hate these weird health problems I have. This is the third time this has happened in the last two months. I can barely see and my eyes are burning.

I thought it was a combination of being allergic to my dog, spring pollen and perhaps makeup, but now I think it’s my contact lenses. As soon as I put them in today my eyes started burning and watering and swelling. Instant severe pain.

I’m typing this with my eyes barely open. There’s no way I can search through my photos to find one for a GTS post right now, or for that matter find pics for GTS posts on Tricia’s Musings or My World.

No matter how long it takes me to make my post, please do continue to participate in Green Thumb Sunday this weekend. Just leave a message in this post if I haven’t made my GTS post to let us all know that you’ve participated.

Thanks!






Contact Lenses at discount prices

by

I don’t think that I’ve ever mentioned that I don’t have perfect vision, but perhaps you clued in when you see that all my photos are macros. LOL No, I don’t need magnifying glasses to see but I do wear contacts during the day, and in the evenings at home I’ll wear glasses.


I’ve found that while the overall price of glasses and contact lenses have gone down from what they were say 10 years ago, I still find that they are a little more pricey than I’d like them to be when I purchase them at the opticians or a store that specializes in selling glasses, frames for glasses and contact lenses.

I’ve actually been looking online on and off for a good place to get contact lenses at discount prices. Trouble was I’d find contacts that sounded like they’d be ones I’d like but I wasn’t sure about them so I never did get them online. Now, since I’m not working due to illness I need to find new ways to save some money. Unfortunately I’m going to have to spend some money soon though because I need contact lenses again. This time I’m looking online.

I found Discountcontactlenses.com and I like their prices. I really like Ciba Visions Focus Night and Day lenses. They are a little thicker than the daily disposable lenses and don’t seem to dry out on my eye easily at all. The price sounds pretty good too! I’m most definitely ordering some.

Do you wear contact lenses? If you do what type do you prefer? At these prices I can afford to experiment and I’d love to hear what type you find most comfortable.
