I tried opening up the pipes below but no luck. Either it got washed away or it popped out somewhere else. This bites. The pair cost $300 and I got it at a special discounted price. Now I can only see with my right eye. I might as well wear a patch over my left eye. fuggin. gotta call into work to take day off too.

and my damn horoscope said i will have a good day. liars.

Hoeboy, this is a bit late for this situation, but you should buy a pair of cheap glasses for backup.

That sucks :(

Might i recommend you start buying the disposable ones? Very cheap; my wife liked them!

i wear special custom made hard lenses. i get only 25/20 with them. with glasses i get like 50/20 which makes it impossible for me to see signs until i'm right up close. i'm a blind mole without my lenses and i'm too poor to afford a backup copy.

i was gonna splurge and buy me a new car cd receiver after someone broke in my car and took mines. now i guess that will have to wait. sigh.

I suppose maybe isn't the time to mention it but if you get corrective laser surgery then you'll never have any more problems. It might be a bit pricey though (you'd need a loan)...although its only about $3k CAN if you can come acros the border!

i dont think i have much of a choice. doc said hard ones are the only one that will help me and my cornea is too thin for corrective surgery :(
