I wear contact for active activities but don't see as well with them as I do with glasses.<br /><br />Yesterday, I put in my contacts for my ride. I couldn't find my goggles and daylight was fading fast, so I grabbed my sunglasses and headed out. The sunglasses quickly fogged up, so I took them off and put them in my pocket.<br /><br />My ride went great and was very pretty and enjoyable, see post below.<br /><br />A few minutes after my ride, my eyes were feeling pretty irritated so I went to the bathroom to take out my contact...TRY to take out my contacts is more accurate.<br /><br />They were stuck to my eyeballs. I hate it when that happens.<br /><br />I finally got them peeled off and they were all shrivelled up. The they were sort of freeze-dried. I put them in the case with lots of fresh solution and we will see if they can be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">re-hydrated</span> but I think they are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">goners</span>.<br /><br />Today, my eyes are red and irritated. This is the second time I have had them <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">happened</span> and this verified that contacts are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">susceptible</span> to being freeze-dried while in the eye.<br /><br />No more riding without goggles/glasses in cold weather.<br /><br />*the weather banner says the winds are only at 12 mph. I don't know where that is, cuz at my house, it's in the high 50's + mph with the power flickering on and off.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05323070439232848154noreply@blogger.com
