Edgar Vergara’s Story

So, long story short...
Edgar Vergara made the mistake of
losing a contact lens
My Advice to You is
if you’re blind without them, keep spare contact lenses handy
Here's the whole story
I tried the eyeglasses thing for a while, but I couldn’t stand not being able to see with my peripheral vision. On top of that, eyeglasses aren’t really great for basketball unless you can pull off the whole Horace Grant look. It was because of this that I opted for wearing contact lenses. What I didn’t take into account when I made this decision is that I love to rub my eyes when they’re itchy. I know, it’s bad for me. It makes them red. It lets germs into my body. More annoying though, it moves my contacts around and sometimes one will fall out. When people usually are in this situation, if they are lucky enough to find their contact lens, they put it in their mouth to clean it off and moisturize it and then they put it back in there eye. Ummm, yeah… no thank you. What I chose to do instead is keep spares handy. I have an extra pair in my car, my briefcase, my backpack, and my sports bag. I know, contact lenses are expensive. Remember though, eyes aren’t like the rest of the body in the sense that they don’t really heal and they can’t be replaced.

we should get a game of hoops together the next time you are in town..
As long as you don't dunk on him i think it'd be a good game.
What happens when you lose your contact lens in the back of your eye...when it rolls back and gets stuck in your brain?
