How is everyone doing?
I am going to tell you a small story about a tragedy that occured this weekend.
Anyone who wears contacts will already know this, but I am going to give an overview on contact lens care for those who do not.
Basically there are 2 ways you can clean your contacts. One is a solution that is gentle, you can soak your lenses in it, you can rub them off with it, and you can even put it in your eye. This is the solution I normally use. But I had asked Rog to pick me up my contact lense solution one day and he came back with the other.
The other solution is like a chemistry set. You have this test tube looking thing that you put the solution in. Then you suspend your lenses in some sort of futuristic chamber and drop them into the solution. You're not supposed to take the lenses out for at least 6 hours so the solution can "neutralize".
Well, like the genius I am... my lens was bugging me so I went and rinsed it off with the death solution and put it in my eye. I felt like my eyeball was one fire. I began frantically washing it off with water and saying to Rog (while crying) "I could go blind! I could go blind!" He in the meantime calmly read the package and it said nothing about potentially going blind so he tried to assure me I was ok.
Anyway, my eyeball looked like it was covered in blood by the time it was all done. Luckily I can still see, but my eye hurt for hours after. So now I am having to rock my glasses while my eye recovers:
Now I look like I am smart, even though I am clearly stupid. So anyway, wondering what's in this solution that would cause such pain... well I'm not sure because there is a ton of scary sounding stuff in it, but I think it might be:
Hydrogen peroxide in the eye can't be good?
Ok, well story over. Anyway, here's one of the things I am working on now:
It's called "The Rake". It will probably take forever to do. I hope it works out.
That's all for now. Have a lovely day.
