On Monday, I finally had my contact lens fitting and took my shiny new lenses home. Yesterday I had to wear them for three hours and then increase the wear time in one hour increments daily until I’m at the maximum twelve hours. Well this is easier said than done, I’m struggling with them quite a bit.

Today I picked up my shiny new glasses. I’ve been wearing them for about 2 hours and I’m having a little difficulty adjusting to the new prescription. I’m getting this weird bendy distortion at the sides, particularly on the left lens. Googling the problem reveals that either a) it’s normal and my eyes will adjust or b) my prescription has been made up wrong and I need to go back and get it fixed. I’m worried about it being the latter as the effect can be associated with wrongly corrected astigmatism – which I do have, but in the other eye.
