Some time ago I decided to try and make the transition from eyeglasses to contacts. My optometrist said it would be very hard to do at my age 60, and especially since I have never worn contacts before. He gave me a sample, Accuvue soft lens concentric multifocals. A week later I went back and to his surprise I had 15/20 vision. Up close, far away, it did not matter.
I had a tourney in two months and I gave it a go for a month but had to give them up because my eyes either; watered, or felt scratchy/ grity, which caused me to blink when I was down on the shot. I'd get one eye to be perfect then the other one wasn't.
Has anyone else out there had this problem trying to transition from glasses to contacts, or am I doing something wrong, or do I need a better optometrists? Recently, I have researched it and possibly I had some dry eye conditions. So maybe I needed to condition my eyes first, and hydrate my system, before trying contacts! thanks, Whitey
