Ok, I admit – I wear glasses. Usually. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Anybody who knows me just from running though, wouldn’t notice this as I always wear contact lenses when run.
There are some practical reasons eg rain and glare from headlights, but the main reason is I find it way more comfortable to run in contacts than glasses. Office work, reading and using a computer though is a different matter entirely – glasses all the way.
I have though about getting my eyes zapped by a laser to remove the need (along with half of my eyeball) to wear glasses or lenses, but have never quite been too bothered.
Running on Thursday night things changed. I was in a rush to get to the group training session and threw my lenses in and then started running only to find that in my left eye there felt to be a lump of coal in my eye. Now obviously with 10 other people running I couldn’t ask them to stop 
and I didn’t want to get left behind, so for the whole run I concentrated on blinking a lot.
I really didn’t enjoy the run at all – I was just thinking how nice it would be not to have to worry about these horrid things I keep putting in my eyes!
So I’ve decided – I’m gonna save up, do my research and get them zapped. SO now I’ve thought about it, said it now I just need to do it….
Cheers
Andrew
PS – Any of you guys had it done? – any advice?
