He can see again.

Steve has a chronic problem with taking care of his glasses. They are usually have a tragic accident within a few weeks of when he gets them. The last pair was so scratched that you could bearly see his eyes through the glasses when he wore them. Not to mention they only had one ear piece for the past year. The pair before that was completely dismembered. He ended up drilling holes through the lenses and attaching strings with pencil eraser weights to go over his ears.

Last weekend he got a new pair and I'm happy to say we are 3 days and counting without any damage. He also got contacts. He says they are great, much more comfortable to wear than glasses. A problem has arisen though. One that in my wildest dreams, I could not have anticipated. Steve's eyelashes are so long that they actually prevent the insertion of the contact lens. Even when he opens his eyes as wide as he can, the contact is still bigger than exposed part of his eye ball. The salesgirl, after Steve took 30 min to get his contacts in, suggested an eyelash curler.
