Speaking of poking yourself in the eye, thats why I'm so afraid of contact lenses while also wanting them so badly at the same time.
Oh, god, the pain I went through when I got contacts. That's why I haven't worn them for about a year ... last night I checked and they'd disintegrated into some sort of goo ... lovely! I think I'll stick with glasses
On a school day I slept late and forgot to take them off. Next morning I woke up, I couldn't open my eyes because my eye lashes were stuck shut. =\
And when I could pry my eyes open my eyes were all red. Ha.
I read/saw/heard something about a girl who bought contacts from ebay/another shady online place, and the contacts ended up melting her face off and she went blind.
Actually I'm a bit sketchy on what happened to her, but I'm positive that it was gross.
Never order your contacts from online resources kids.
