contacts! i went to the optometrist today to see if i was still a candidate for soft toric contacts. since my uveitis diagnosis in 2005, i hadn't worn them and was frankly too scared to ask. after 18 years of wearing them, i did miss them.

well, last year, my ophthalmologist said that i could probably go back to wearing them on occasion, like maybe once a week. so i finally got the courage up to seek out a new pair today. they're the purevision toric contacts made by bausch & lomb. i have a trial pair until next monday, when i go for the follow-up exam. if everything is okay, they'll order six pairs and even mail them to texas if they don't arrive in time.

yay!
