thebratqueenWoke up today with a headache. Actually had to call in sick to work.
This was on top of problems yesterday with my vision. I could more-or-less see, but trying to focus on small stuff - like words or buttons on clothing - was hard. Also I kept randomly getting blurry spots.
So after going to bed with an ice bag I woke up again at 10 and called the eye doctor. They were able to squeeze me in at 12:30. Long story short, I haven't been as good as I should have been about replacing my contacts every two weeks, which means I've damaged my eyes. Damaged eyes meant contacts that didn't fit properly, which is why I was having problems seeing. (I'd been having similar problems for the past week, it was just that yesterday was when it got bad enough to worry me.)
So right now I have a different brand of contact in which in theory allows my eyes to be all moist and oxygeny, and that will hopefully help my eyes calm down a bit and that in turn will hopefully have me in shape to be refitted for new contacts next Saturday.
In the meanwhile my head's better (not 100%, but better) and even though the current contacts aren't perfect I'm not having as many vision problems. All in all I'd call this an excellent use of a sick day.
Now those of you with disposible contacts of your own should learn from my mistake ;)
