When you use colored contacts 

As an optometrist, I deal with these patients on the regular. I once had a patient who kept the same pair of monthly disposable lenses for 6 years. He took them out at night at least.

Of the three main characters, it is easy to tell that Ben has worked there the longest. You can feel him seething with rage..

This is sadly super accurate. As an optician I have at least one of these sort of conversations a month. Honey, if they’re not gonna love you because of your eye color they aren’t the one. Your eyes are so important, please don’t risk them by doing stupid things with your contacts.

As a human who got glasses in the single digit age bracket and was very fortunate to get contacts in middle school, my eyes SCREAMED at the thought of not removing my contacts for 8 MONTHS. Jesus. I got my eyes lasered to avoid the annoyance of wearing contacts too long IN ONE DAY. The idea that there are humans this stupid makes me hate my species. I know this is a skit but I have ZERO doubt this is an actual issue that appeared in an ER. Arg!!!

My grandma(African American) had natural blue eyes. The doctors were so confused when they couldn’t remove her “contacts”

Ben is ine of my favorite characters... you can FEEL the internal rage just barely being held in check...

Now watch the guy never even notice.

Why do I feel like I this is a conversation that you have had with a person 🤣

I bet at that point the contacts are a permanent fixture on his eyes. They'd be difficult to remove for sure 🤣🤣

I wore contacts for 25 yrs. I Always took them out at night and let them soak and clean so they were ready for the next day. I never wanted to mess with my eyes so I was diligent. I knew people who never took their contacts out or cleaned them. You could literally see the calcium deposits on the contacts when looking them in the eye. Sometimes the contacts became discolored. People take stupid risks when they don’t take proper care of their contact lenses.

An optometrist once told me, "*You don't wear your shoes to bed right? Neither should you wear your lenses to bed*." Wise words!

No joke, Ben better make sure he hydrates the patient’s eyes before taking out those contacts. When I was new to contacts and on accutane at band camp during a VERY hot summer, I took mine out and ripped off huge chunks of my corneas. That was back in 2009 and I STILL have my vision affected by the scarring. Also that was and is my solid standard 10/10 pain.

As a teenager, I would fall asleep with my contacts in a couple times a week. Then I read an article about the risks of infection, blindness, all the bad stuff that can happen if you leave them in for too long, don't change them, or don't clean them.

That last statement was so full of rage 😂

I've had a patient like that, just further along. Losing an eye wasn't enough to make her change her ways.

Okay, I absolutely and sharply gasped at the idea someone actually wore contacts for 8 months. Cesspool eyes. Yeeech.

The only contacts I've ever worn are colored ones for cosplay, and I can't even wear them for a full day without them being uncomfortable! And I've accidentally fallen asleep in them, and it hurt so bad. I CANNOT imagine doing that for 8 whole months

I once wore colored contacts to a party when I was younger, I slept in them after passing out and HOLY SHIT the pain and discomfort is unbelievable after one night. Your eyes feel shriveled up and pushed into your brain, you have the biggest migraines and have gluey eyes.

His corneas probably peeled off with the contact lenses when he took them out.

My friend and I worked in ophthalmology. We also lived together for a time. She wore colored contacts all the time her boyfiend thought she had blue eyes. One night she attempted and was out of it. The Doctor was trying to check her pupils but couldn't with those contacts in and asked me if I could remove them. I did. She was more pissed at me that her boyfriend saw her natural eye color because I took off her contacts. She wasn't the slightest bit grateful that I saved her life that night. Umm not friends anymore after that!
