For a while now I've been starting to wear contacts and, after some trial and error I think I've found a brand and type that are fairly comfortable. Almost too comfortable.Last night as I was preparing for bed I popped out my left lens and put it in solution. Then I went to take out my right, but it felt like I was pulling on my cornea, not a contact lens. I stopped and thought about how painful pulling a cornea off might be.
Looking in a mirror I scoured my ocular cavity for any signs of silicone, but found none. My eye didn't feel totally normal (like how it usually does after the lens is out), but I wondered if that wasn't from pulling on my cornea. Frustrated I went to bed figuring that if it was still in there, I would feel it more in the morning.
I still felt it this morning and, as I poked around the edges of my eye, I cough sight of my contact lens, folded in eighths tucked deep in the outside corner of my eye. Does anyone have suggestions for keeping your contact lens from folding into eighths while you are wearing it?
And how did I not notice that?

Medical school? What are you thinking? You gift is definitely with the pen!!! Maybe you can find a way to do both but whatever you do don't get so into medicine that you drop the dream to write, you are too good.
