Today I have my first checkup for my RGP contacts

Leave a reply

Today I have my first checkup appointment to ensure that things are going smoothly with my contacts and that the fit is correct.

Based on how things are going I expect things to go mostly ok. The incident of loosing the left contact once will be discussed but given how the replacement is going fine don’t anticipate anything major to go down.

It was expected to have a little bit of issues with my Left eye due to abnormal eye shape and if the rgp contact becomes too much of an issue i’ll just have to get to scleral contact for the left eye. The right eye is going perfect.

My replacement contact came

Today I finally got my replacement contact and get to reset the adaptation process for my left eye.

I expected to feel it as much as I did when I first started but I can barely feel the contact already. The adaptation process should be smooth this time around provide that I don’t loose it again.

Will definitely be having my fit corrected or look into getting a scleral contact in the event of future issues

My contacts are in!!!

So just got home from receiving my contacts.

I CAN FINALLY READ STUFF WITH MY LEFT EYE!! Though still not yet perfect time will tell when ive fully adjusted to these contacts if they will get any better. I definitely can feel them in my eyes but that’s to be expected.

I can tolerate the presence of the contacts. In a few weeks to a month I should be completely comfortable with these rgp contacts as the primary downside to rgp contacts is the adaptation process.

Today is the day

Today I finally get my contacts and can start the process of adapting to them.

I’ll only be able to wear them for 4 hours the first day and then an extra hour per day until I can go a full day.

It can take two weeks to a month to get the optimal comfort out of the rgp contacts but for the quality of vision and reduced risk of common contact complications it will be worth it.

Getting excited for my contacts

So during the weekend I have been practicing the motions to get my test contact in. As per instructions I am only to actually put it in during business hours. My little incident the very first attempt highlighted the importance of the matter.

On Monday I am pretty sure that I will be successful in getting the contact in. I always figured the hard part would be getting the contact to stay on the finger but it turns out getting it in is the hard part lol.

Kinda going to miss glasses but this seems to be the only option to get worthwhile vision out of my left eye which is surprising as as it stood I didn’t think the vision of the left eye would be bad enough that glasses wouldn’t help. But at the same time I would have likely have had to move on to contacts sometime in the future anyway and life with contacts does have its pros and cons.
