Still unable to wear contacts...

It's been months since I decided to go ahead with wearing RGP lenses.  After going through the fitting experience and finally placing the order I was informed my pair arrived!  Contacts, specially made for me, have arrived!  The promise of perfect vision is finally within my grasp.

I head to Dubai with my wife filled with excitement (wait...did I mention I recently came back from my Honeymoon after getting married?) and finally get to try on these expensive lenses.  The lens specialist places the lenses in my eyes, and after minutes of teary eyes and discomfort, things are not clear!  Apparently the lens diameter was not big enough and lens was sliding in my eyes (did not remain in the center).  Solution?  Send them back and get ones with larger diameters.

On the good news, hybrid lenses are now available and the lens specialist ordered trials to try them.  Due to my busy schedule and just getting back to work, the nearest appointment where I could make it was 3 weeks later.

Still hanging in there, hoping things will get better.
