Losing the eye-wear

Well, despite having a reputation of being squeamish when it comes to anything eye related, yesterday I put in contact lenses myself for the very first time. I have to say, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, although despite having put them in and taken them out several times, I still feel that each time I succeed, it's a fluke. Long may my luck continue...

It's quite a bizarre feeling to walk out without my glasses on, and I still have to check myself when I leave my room. It's also quite a different visual sensation. I was warned that my vision wouldn't be as good as it was with my glasses, as I have a slight astigmatism which can't be corrected with my lenses, so the short-sightedness has been corrected but things are still a little blurry, which is odd. But so far, I'm quite enjoying the time I'm spend my time looking at the world without a frame, and I'm sure I'll get used to the difference.
