One Contact

It’s been almost a year now that I started wearing one contact lens. Over the last couple of years I’ve found that I have a hard time reading or see object up close. I don’t understand why I’m having the problem, it can’t be that crazy “age” thing. 🙂 I tried reading glasses and, while they did help, they were too cumbersome and interfered with shooting. My eye doctor suggested wearing one contact lens for seeing up close. Since I can see distance without any problem, I would not need a lens in the other eye.

I have to admit, it took a while to get used to it, but now it’s second nature. It’s amazing how quickly my brain has adjusted to using one eye for reading and the other for distance vision. While it’s not a perfect solution, it is a great compromise. For a photographer, it’s important to be able to switch my vision range from close up to distance, then back to close up, quickly.
