If I had to guess what the one thing that Michael hates more than anything on the planet it would have to be wearing his glasses. We both know that he needs them, but he’d rather be without them and unable to see than to have to walk around all day with them on. I know part of it is that he’s afraid he’s going to break them since there have already been quite a few close calls. But eventually he finally gives up and puts them on so that he can do whatever it is that he needs to get done.

I’ve suggested multiple times that he try out contacts, but he’s had a bad experience with them so he doesn’t really want to do that. He got some back when he first found out that he needed glasses, but he always had a horrible time putting them in and getting them out. They’d always dry out and irritate his eyes as well. So he just gave up on them and learned to live with those ‘damn glasses’.

Now I’m considering coaxing him to try out acuvue moist contacts. It seems like these would be the perfect answer for him since they lock in moisture and that was his biggest problem with the contacts that he tried. If he could find contacts that he didn’t have a problem wearing, I think he’d be much happier because he wouldn’t have to go around being unable to see while he fought the fact that he needed to wear his glasses.
