Son is in the bathroom practicing installation and removal of his new contact lenses. Husband: "He's in there talking to himself."
Me: "Or livestreaming. Could be livestreaming 'Contact Lens Unboxing.' You never know."
Update: he's already lost a lens. (They're daily disposables so it's not THE WORST but it doesn't bode well...)
@gamehawk I started wearing contact lenses from 1994 still in my 20s, to be fair it can be scary and unnerving trying them for the first time.
I could understand him talking to himself maybe as reassurance!
Livestreaming might be more tricky, if you can't see well enough to remain in view of the camera (I don't think I'd be able to do it π ).
(also its best to do this over a clear clean space, often the bathroom/WC isn't the best for ease or health, and use a small mirror..)
@vfrmedia Heh. Yeah, I didn't realize what he was doing in there. Had some discussion on "at least move the trash can out of the way, and close the sink drain."
It's the guest half-bath, which he uses to brush his Invisalign thingies, so at least it's a place we keep relatively clean. I mean, aside from toothpaste hither and yon, which I guess is not great for contacts either.
I wore them from 18, finally gave up when astigmatisms made plain soft lenses impractical a few years back.
eyes, mention of bug Show more
@vfrmedia I only have dim memories of a time when I couldn't just put a finger directly on my eyeball without even needing to hold my eyelids out of the way, but boy is he having trouble. Doesn't help that he has eyelashes for dayyyyys. π
@gamehawk Poking yourself in the eye repeatedly has got to be good for at least a few views.
