: I have a few questions on two related topics:
: 1. Does anybody have any issues with what I like to call "gunky eyes"?
: This is the mucousy, stringy, junk that forms in the lower "pocket" of your bottom eyelids, and occasionally creeps it's way up onto the eyeball and you gotta stick your finger in there an pull it out...I know that sounds gross! Being from the Sacramento/Central Valley areas of CA, I also suffer from spring time seasonal allergies, and the "gunky eyes" are a lot worse that time of year.
: 2. If you do have the "gunky eyes", do you wear contact lenses?...and if so, how does that effect them?
: 3. If do wear contact lenses, and you have the seasonal spring time allergies, and you have increased "gunkiness" during that time of year, does it make wearing contact lenses difficult?
: Over the past couple years my far away vision has been increasingly getting worse, and I'm tired of wearing the glasses, so I'm thinking of swithing to contact lenses. I'm going in for my first contact lense fitting next Monday, so any advice or input on this before then would be great!
: Thanks
