Re: the contacts/glasses convo, I wore contacts for many years, but I had so many problems with headaches, and I had CONSIDERABLY less problems when I stopped and switched to glasses permanently.
I had the same experience with my first trip to get contacts! It took me foreverrrrr and they wouldn’t let me leave without first trying them on, I could tell that the tech was annoyed. It still takes me longer to put them in than the average contact lens wearer, but I’m getting better lol
