Where are my glasses!?

[Big D]

I would wear contacts but I absolutely cannot stand anything close to or touching my eye. I cannot even watch other people put in contacts because it freaks me out so much. This has become the only surefire way to make me cringe away and freak out.

I know how you feel! I can't stand even eye drops.

It took five minutes for my girlfriend to get eye drops into my eyes when they hurt really bad. She ended up having to pin me down with my head between her legs.

It was the least sexiest amount of time I have ever spent there.

xD. At the 'least sexy' thing, not the freaking out over ocular discomfort.

I have rather sensitive eyes, they react badly to nearly any irritant or allergen. However, contact lenses are designed to be particularly comfortable. They take a bit of getting used to - especially the whole "omg there's a big piece of plastic in my eye" thing - but when they're clean and fresh, they're very comfortable, and they can even be an extra layer of protection sometimes, by keeping unwanted nasties from actually hitting your corneas.

And if you lead an active lifestyle, they're just tremendously more convenient than glasses. Full peripheral vision, nothing that can be knocked off in a mishap, that sort of thing.

But like all things, they've got their downsides as well as upsides.
