This contact talk is making my legs turn to jelly. I wore them for a brief period of time in university until one day one got lost in the back of my eye and my dad has to physically fish it out. Never again have I put in contacts.

Lasik is da bomb.com. Totally worth getting your eyeball sliced open. It was amazing 🤩 for the 8ish years it lasted for me before I needed glasses again 😭

It was amazing 🤩 for the 8ish years it lasted for me before I needed glasses again 😭 Honestly, I'd probably do it again before going back. Which is for sure a privileged thing to say, I know. But they told me I have super thick corneas so I am an excellent candidate for multiple slicings. ::hair flip::

You would have thought there was a nuclear treaty being discussed with the amount of talks it took to get the A list producer/host to pose for a bunch of photos with the former actress turned host.

My mom left contacts in for like a year 😳
I wear them daily but take out every night. I can't stand the feeling of sleeping in contacts
My eyes are awful though and even with my glasses I can't see that well. Contacts work the best for me

I used to be terrible for sleeping in my contacts. Not 20 days in a row my god but my eye Dr told me my old monthlies were actually rated for sleeping in for up to a week. And I’m Sure I had stretches of sleeping in them longer.
Until… my eye got so dry it literally felt like sandpaper to blink. 11/10 pain. And I had to wear glasses for 3 mo until it was fully healed. And now I wear dailies and I am very very diligent. Some of us need natural consequences.

I fell asleep ONCE with my contacts in when I was in college and ended up with an ulcer on my eye. Very very very painful. Thank god for numbing drops. I had to switch to the kind that are designed to leave in overnight but was instructed that I was not allowed to. I ended up getting LASIK anyway years later and I’m super glad I did. Though I’ll need glasses anyway here in a few years because it doesn’t do anything to prevent the actual muscles in your eyes deteriorating, which is why people need readers as they age. *The more you know* 💫

I cannot handle the thought of sleeping with my contacts in. That would only happen if I fell asleep on the couch or passed out drunk. And it felt like I had to peel my eyelids off my contacts in the morning. All of these stories about that and contacts going behind your eyeball are grossing me out way more than slicing eyeballs.

I have aggressively scrolled past all eyeball anecdotes.
I have a Blinds FFFC that I’ll forget by tomorrow. Until this Harry Styles thing, I thought “Emrata” was another young star (actress or pop star) that I just didn’t know. It was only when I read some headlines about Emrata and Harry Styles that I realized it’s Emily Ratajkowski.

I mean if you just wanna open on the first page for Brit gifs, fair enough. But you know if you click on the ‘new’ button it takes you straight to the first post in the thread you haven’t seen. I guess I should have said "whenever I open the thread to the first page" because yes I do know that.

I have questions re: Tori. What brand was she wearing? I wear monthlies and generally go longer than that with them in because kids and I get migraines when I take them out to switch to my glasses unless I time it perfectly. Anyway, there is no damage to my eyes (I had an appointment last week), but my contacts are made for extended wear. I milk my monthly contacts bc they are expensive. They are like $120/box. But I take them off every day. I usually wear them until one of them rips. 🙈 Fwiw I’ve had a couple eye doctors tell me this is fine. But none have agreed with sleeping in them.

I used to sleep in my contacts constantly. But it’s like a lot of things - I got older and my body said no so now I basically am like they are a bra and I take them out when I get home.

Where my Midwest girls at? Just spotted this at the grocery store and chuckled. If you can't read it, it has all our nice-ish phrases with favorites such as: Ope, sorry! Just gonna sneak past ya. Yeah no, for sure.

Yeah no, for sure. I am cracking up. And now I want a Bells. And have embraced that I’m a midwesterner now. I guess 15 years here has made my switch almost complete. I even said pop the other day and almost fell over when I realized lol

I don’t drink anymore (boo to alcohol not agreeing with me) but Bell’s was my fave. A good cold Oberon is so yummy! Having one on a SW Michigan beach around a fire was 💯💯💯

As in “I’m going to Kroger’s, anyone need anything” or “I work at Ford’s” or “Would you pick up some pop when you go to Meijer’s?” Do any other states do this or is it just a Michigan phenomenon?
