Eyeballs

A couple of days ago Joshua decided to help me out in the morning by handing me my glasses. In his helpfulness, he managed to mangle them into a heap. I stopped wearing contacts right before giving birth cause it was such a hassle when I was getting up a bunch of times in the middle of the night. So, being blind as I am now, I decided now would be a good time to go back to wearing contacts.

So I went to the eye doctor on Monday and picked up a trial pair of Acuvue Advanced Toric lenses the next day. They are the same contacts that I was wearing before.

Yesterday, before I was getting ready to clock out at work, I glanced in the mirror and had to do a double take. My eyes were completely blood shot- there were no white spots on my eyes to be seen. I thought that this was interesting sense my eyes weren't even bugging me. They just felt a little dry, so I put a few eye drops in and it burned! That is totally not suppose to happen. So I ran back to the eye place, since it's in the Mall, and had my eyes checked out. Apparently, I had an allergic reaction to either the contacts, which I've worn before, or the solution, which is the same brand I've always used. So weird. I have to wait a week and go back to the doctor before putting anything else in my eyes. Bummer. So now, I am trying to decide if I should just forget about contacts and just stay with glasses, or give another pair of contacts a shot. What would you do?
