This is the second time a contact lens has split in my eye but this time it was even more irritating as we were out for a curry with friends at the time. While trying to fish the shards out of my eye in the mens washroom a couple of kids walked in and nearly wet their selves laughing. I tried to stare them out but it’s not easy when one of your eyes is glowing red and is streaming tears like niagra falls.
Eventually I managed to get 2/3 of it out and enjoy the rest of the meal half blind. We were supposed to go round and check out Petes new Xbox 360 and 42″ HD extraveganza but I figured the effect would be diminished if I couldn’t see. On arriving home both me and Clare tried in vain to get the damn piece of lens out but it was hiding away in some part of my eye socket we couldn’t reach. I had to go to sleep with the bugger still in there.
I woke with my eye nearly sealed with gunk. After cleaning it out with cold water I spotted a hint of blue in the corner of my eye. With much swearing, cursing and general unpleasantness I managed to catch hold of it. My eye still hurts like a b****d but at least I think I got it all out.
And to think I wear contact lenses for comfort and convenience!
I just realised my blog is turning into a whinge diary … must try and correct that ….

I know… I just did the same thing tonight! I can’t find the last piece either! So did you ever find out what was gonig on?
In the end I went to the opticians to have it checked out, if you can I would do that.
