Contact lenses!

[kate_nepveu]

As of three hours ago, I have soft contact lenses. I am most pleased about this. Consequently, I ask you all:

Tell me all the interesting ways you've lost your soft contact lenses, so I can try and avoid them. (I already know about the uninteresting ways of swimming, showering, and getting hit in the eye. => )

It is possible to cry so hard that your contacts find their way back into your eye (i.e., where you cannot see any part of their rims looking into the mirror). Needless to say, not recommended.

Eeee. What do you *do* then?

One of my errands today is getting spare contact lens cases--many, for work, the car, my bag . . .

Just be patient, take deep breaths, and blink a lot. They'll eventually find their way back, or at least mine did. Panic is counterproductive, though difficult to resist. Obviously, if it's been hours and you still can't see them, it's probably time to call a doctor. This had never happened to me, though.
