I could never use contacts for anything; I can't even watch people put them in or take then out, I have ot leave the room.  I can't even use eye drops.

I'm pretty much the same way.  I've developed a method of eye dropping that acommodates my sensitivity.  I touch the nozzle on my tear duct, put in a drop, then tilt my head to the side to make the juice slosh over the eye ball.

I use contacts, but still can't use eye drops in a normal way. My blink reflex is too strong or something. Whatever the reason it won't work. Like Yi I've developed my own method. I pull on my lower eyelid to make a cup of sorts.

Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Also, what kind of HUD would the average person need?  Hidden texts? This technology confuses and angers me.

Mine would have a boner force rate built in. And a dangerous minority alarm.

Lol. Also contacts are really hard to keep from "spinning" (see movies where the eye slit contacts are at a weird angle)

If they have an external reference point it would be easy to keep the display oriented properly for the eye.

Been wearing contacts since 1986.  They're a piece of cake.  Alas, I'm getting to the age where I'm going to need bifocal lenses soon if I want to read for any long periods of time while I wear them.   :(

And all you eyedropper weirdos are exactly that.  :lol:

I haven't had a reason to use eye drops in quite sometime. I know I hated them as a child. :blush:

Hell, so did I.  I remember when they had to ask somebody in the waiting room to come in and help hold me down for them; boy, was Mom pissed.  Then I grew up.

Yeah, that's annoying as balls.  NO DOC I'LL DO IT MYSELF

My eye doctor uses something else now.  No more shots of air in the eye.

Yeah that's what I was told too. I haven't been in a bit and I should sense I do shell out 8 bucks a paycheck for vision.

Man, last time I saw the optometrist he just spat in my eye.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
