Need to vent - Worst day of my life

#4. Contact breaks during my shift (my eyes are -10 and -9 with heavy astigmatism).

Wait, what?! I thought astigmatism prevented one from getting contacts? This is what I was told many years ago when I inquired about getting some. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for yours, where did you get them and how long does each set normally last?

Above post is wrong and whoever told you that may have been before technology advanced.

I'm paying around 140~ for 2 years worth of astigmatism contacts. My eyes are -10/-9 with extremely heavy astigmatism; it pushes me into the -12/-11 range. Imo, if you have the cash, get implants or laser eye surgery. If your eyes are as bad as mine, implants are a better idea (long story short, contact lens shoved into your eyes).

And my contacts are soft.

As I said, it was several years ago when I asked about them, so you are most likely correct.

Yeah, I've looked at the laser surgery and the implants - neither one really appeal to me and the cost is still too high. Maybe in a few more years when the price has dropped even further I might take another look, but for now the idea of replaceable contacts is much more appealing than someone carving up my eyeballs with a knife or frying them with a laser.

My eyes are -2 and -3 with moderate astigmatism, hardly worth getting the surgery for. Besides, I would still need to use glasses for reading or watching TV, anyway, so the contact lenses are the better choice at this point.

EDIT: I hope tomorrow is a better day for you, btw.

Yeah yours aren't really worth the surgery or implants. I'm sure, though it wouldn't be safe, driving, riding, and walking would still be doable in day light with that. If I have no vision aid on me, all I see a huge blurs coming to kick my ***; hence why I rode with an eye patch back to my house to get a new contact lol

I'll be saving up for surgery before I start attempting to track again or I'll never be able to do night time tracking with confidence -_-

Thanks for the best wishes.

#1. Get up late.

#2. GF bitches at me for hours.

#3. Arrive at work late.

#4. Contact breaks during my shift (my eyes are -10 and -9 with heavy astigmatism).

#5. Rode back with one eye covered to new contacts (40KM).

#6. Random bolt comes off my bike and scares me ********

#7. Ride back after realizing the bolt wasn't that important (one of the bolts to hold the front fairing in) to work.

#8. The finale: clutch cable breaks on my way back home.

Seriously, **** my life today.

Consider yourself lucky if THIS is the worse day of your life.

This bitching is older than the chicken/egg argument. tell her to find an unemployed hippie with no hobbies. that sounds like what she wants.

Huh... I would have guessed "#4 - Beef With Broccoli", but Japanese has never been my strongest language.

EDIT: Just ran it through Babelfish and it comes out in Chinese as "Oil well red colour".
