Eye Porn

I got the contacts today. It took awhile to find a pair that fit well and was weighted properly, but after three trials, the fourth worked out.

Contact lenses are a bit of an anomaly. They are weightless, clear and thin, and they are made for blind people to stick in their highly sensitive eyes, without the benefit of their glasses. What sick person devised this? I very nearly put my eye out while learning to use the things. Putting the lenses in wasn't too bad, but getting them out was damned near fatal.

I've worn glasses for 25 years. Walking around without them is alien to me. I feel completely exposed. I was having difficulty at first, looking at people when I talked to them - I was suddenly very shy. I only had to wear them for two hours today, and I add an hour every day. During those two hours, I was at work. When I finally started to relax a bit about being facially naked, my boss saw me for the first time without my glasses.

You know what he said? "You look cross-eyed". I felt as much the freak right then as I did when I showed up at school wearing glasses for the first time in third grade.

I went back to my office and watched the clock for the clock to strike two, so I could take the damned things back out.

It was curious to look in the mirror without the glasses. I am so myopic that I am a blur to myself in the mirror. When I put my eye makeup on, I have the mirror so close to me that all I see is my eye. This is the first time I have ever really seen what I look like. I can't decide if I like what I see. I just see naked skin.

I am going to try to make the best of this situation though. I am going to get me some corny, yet funky $5 sunglasses tomorrow. That's another first. I've always had to be very careful with my sunglass purchases, since they are so expensive with prescription lenses.

Please don't ask for pictures. I am not into eye-porn. You'll have to satisfy your sick fetishes elsewhere.
