I See

So I went to an optometrist today because I needed a new supply of contacts. I took a year supply and made it last a year and a half so I'm pretty content with it. Pretty much rather than doing the proper thing I just started leaving them in rather than taking them out every night. When I did take them out every night one pair normally lasted about three weeks to a month. Even though they're supposed to only be used for two weeks, who pays attention to that stuff. I'm too much of a natural Jew to pass up a chance to save money. And I did, I got an extra half out of what I bought. But when I just left them in I managed to keep them longer. The thing with taking them out every night, even though it cleans them, it makes it so that they don't last as long. You touch the contacts and your eye has to readjust to them every morning and get poked around in every night. So it's easier to just leave them in. I'd still change them though. I'd either wait until my hair got too long, by my standards that's a month to two months of it growing, or until my eye started bugging out. When I changed my contacts I'd also shave my head. But when I took them out it was for the weekend, if it was before then I'd wear my glasses. End of the weekend I'm wearing contacts again. But back to what I as saying. Somehow, and I'm really curious as to how, my eyesight improved. I really think it's more my focusing and analytical skills that have improved. My ability to notice the smaller details could make it seem like my vision improves. Just look at it this way. I spent my summer sitting in the dark every night where the only source of light was my laptop screen and a T.V. Of course that was spent playing Dota every night, hence why I say it's an improvement in my ability to analyze and focus and notice smaller things. To look at the full thing and not have to focus on one. It sounds like it's not a show of focus, but I'm saying I can focus on everything, not just one thing. That's what you do in Dota. You have to watch the whole screen, not just one thing. If you can't pay attention like that then you're fucked. So I literally think, I just got an improved eye for detail. Of course, the doctor said it didn't majorly improve, just to an extent.
