Today, after nearly a year of headaches and fuzzy vision, I went to the eye doctor. It turns out I've had my contacts in the wrong eyes for a year. FML

TO ALL YOU PEOPLE ASKING WHY I WAITED: I'm at college and I still depend on my parents' income. I basically get one eye doctor visit a year because it's what we can afford. Alright, people?

I had a similar problem, but with my car. After years of constant accidents and high insurance premiums, I realized I've been driving in reverse the whole time.

So you've been driving backward for years? I don't understand. My car cannot move forward without it being switched to drive. And it's over twelve years old; unless your car is older and doesn't have that feature?

That's funny, 30, because no matter how far or close I get to the screen I still can't make out any of the words!

I admire your commitment not to see the doctor and suffer... It builds character

I think your talking about when you put them in inside out, OP is talking two different prescription contacts going in the wrong eye.

To all those people saying "OMG y did u wait a whole year??!!" You'd be surprised what kind of health problems people ignore; this is nothing.

Exactly right!!! I guess the mentality of some is that it will get better before it gets worse. For example. I have a friend who found a mole on his neck. After 6 months he decided to get it checked. Turns out it was skin cancer. Moral of the story. If in doubt about your health, always consult a doctor or specialist.

Seeing as how headaches and changes in vision are the two most common signs of brain tumors, I don't think this is "nothing." OP is very stupid for waiting so long.

67- That's also a common sign of people using mobile in bed to check their Facebook, etc. before falling asleep. =P
