Contacts and new scarves
May. 1st, 2007 08:57 pmGot my eye exam Sunday and the results came out pretty much as I expected: my vision is still pretty much the same after 3 years (one eye is actually even a little bit better) and I can keep my current glasses and contacts. ^_^
Since I won’t have to spend money on new glasses or regular contacts, I’ll try to get color contacts for Count D’s mismatched eyes. That is, assuming I can get the right colors in my prescription. I need toric lenses for astigmatism and colors tend to be much more limited in those. -_- The boxed Freshlook contacts the optometrist was thinking of prescribing only come in 4 colors and they don’t have a purple; he’s ordering a sample of the honey shade because I want to see if it’ll work okay for D’s gold eye. And he said he’d check whether vial contacts came in purple. Will have to wait until we go back to pick up my father’s new glasses to see what he has to tell me.
Hmm… Do any of you use color contacts and need them in toric? What lenses do you have if you do?
Need to get back to work on Terra soon. I’ve been lazy since getting back from Anime Boston and haven’t really gotten any costume stuff done. I think I need to rip out at least one of the sequined flowers I did on the back panels of the dress because I ended up with two right next to each other when the zipper is closed and it just looks dumb. But I finally took a picture of my new pink scarf with the others.
Masquerade info has been posted on the Anime North site now and it looks like I’ll be wearing Terra most of Saturday if I want to compete with it. Seems the masquerade is scheduled for a 5PM start this year with check-in for participants at 2:30. (Earliest I've ever seen at a con. o_o) Considering I’d have to start changing into Terra around 1 at the latest, I don’t know if it would be worth it to wear something else for a couple of hours in the morning.
