I noticed in my sister’s Facebook shop that contact lenses are one of the most sought after products by teenagers. I haven’t tried it myself because I’m afraid of what can happen to my eyes due to improper use. I’ve read that contacts need special care and maintenance, things I don’t think I can remember to do. I know a close friend of mine underwent minor eye surgery because of contact lens irritation.

Just thinking of it scares me. Even if those optometrist jobs are held by the highly qualified, I still wouldn’t trust them to tell me that it’s safe or perfectly harmless. Call me paranoid, but my eyes are too precious because I need it for my job and to feed my family, so I’m not trying it anytime soon.

However, don’t let me scare you. Besides that bothering incident about my friend, I personally know a lot of other people who wear their contacts just fine. Besides, who wouldn’t want a different eye color every now and then? I, for one, would love to have hazel eyes (like in the song. LOL). Mine are dark brown like my mom’s.
