My Eyes

I have always wished that I had blue eyes.  My eyes are a hazel green color, and while they are pretty (if I do say so myself!), there is just something about blue eyes that I love.  In fact, with the exception of one, every guy I have ever dated has had blue eyes.  My kids all have blue eyes, too.

Nowadays, I have the option of making my eyes blue with colored contacts.  I was looking on Lenstore.co.uk, and there are so many different options available.  I really like the dark blue contacts, until I saw the purple ones.  How cool would it be to walk around with purple eyes! They even had yellow contacts, which I find just a little bit freaky.  I mean, other than for Halloween, what reason would there be to walk around with yellow eyes?


Unfortunately, I have tried wearing contact lenses in the past, and it didn't exactly work out well.  I could not stand having something in my eye. They didn't hurt or anything.  It was more of a mental thing, I think.  I guess that means I'll just have to live with my boring hazel eyes.

Contacts

I went all through high school never having to wear glasses. I should have, because I couldn't see the blackboard half the time, but it wasn't until I started college that I went and had my eyes checked. I was set against wearing glasses, so I got my first pair of contact lenses. Back then, they didn't have disposable lenses, so I got the standard soft lenses. I threw them away within a week. I could not stand having something floating around in my eye. My eyes were constantly red and irritated. I know there have been many improvements in lenses the past few years, so I am thinking about giving them another try.

They even have this new things called LensAlert. It's pictured above. It holds you contact lens case, and can be set to remind you when to change your lenses, and your lens case. You can set the timer for up to 99 days for the lens case, and up to 60 days for the lenses. It helps you take the guess work out of when it's time for a new pair. This nifty little timer was even featured in the Woman's Day Magazine's "Products We Love" section. If you want to find out more about this product, and disposable lenses, check out the AC Lens blog.
