Congrats to you too Perdita. Six months isn't bad to reach 1000 posts. And just think of all those posts that don't count towards your total.
I have astigmatism. I think it means that the eyeball is shaped like a rugby ball instead of a football. I wear contact lenses and was told that they would probably correct my astigmatism. I have one of the more expensive types of contact lens because of the problem.Apparently because I have a stigmatism or whatever (which I never knew I had lol, I thought I just had bad eye sight altough I don't know what it means anyways) the contact lenses may not work properly for me so I need the 5 day trial..
