Today, I went to the eye doctor. For the past three days every time I wear my glasses I become nauseous, get migraines, and have that "fish-eye view" where everything is rounded. Turns out they placed my lenses on the wrong sides. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the eye doctor. He tells me that I've developed a severe allergy to contact lenses and must stop wearing them immediately. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just visited him a week earlier, paid for a new prescription and ordered a year's worth of brand new lenses. FML
Today, I woke up thinking after wearing glasses and contacts all my life that I had miraculously been corrected to 20/20. Turns out I had just fallen asleep with my contacts in. FML
Today, I wore a pair of glasses with no lenses because I thought I'd look smarter. I ended up poking myself in the eye several times, leaving it swollen. So much for making me look smarter. FML
Today, after buying a new pair of prescription glasses, I went to the beach. The ocean now has a new pair of glasses. FML
Today, I broke my glasses. My eyesight is horrible, I can’t see things that aren’t super close to my face. I'm supposed to drive to another state tomorrow. FML
Today, I woke up, and I could see perfectly. Somehow, during the night, my eyes magically became 20/20. I was overjoyed, until I realized I'd fallen asleep with my glasses on. My eyes are still trash, and I want to cry. FML
Today, I noticed that the glasses I got this week seemed off balance. A further inspection showed that one of my ears is bigger than the other. Through even further inspection, my family concluded that the entire right side of my body is higher than my left. FML
Today, I went for my first eye test ever. Turns out I have astigmatism and need glasses. This is already on top of me already having a hearing aid, having hypertension of my joints, autism, and endometriosis. FML
Today, I spent almost 10 minutes cleaning my glasses because everything looked blurry. The problem wasn't my glasses. I was actually wearing my sister's, who apparently got almost the same frames as mine. FML
Today, while I was normally and gently cleaning my glasses with my shirt they snapped in half. This is the second time this has happened, with the exact same glasses. The optometrist got me another pair last time, but this time they said no because it was too suspicious. I now have to buy $150 glasses again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm glad you were a good pupil and saw the problem. At least you had a good sense of vitreous humour about it and didn't lash out at the optometrist or browbeat him. To celebrate, go to McDonald's and get a Big Macula and freyes. *posted from my iPhone with retina display*

You didn't put them on when you first picked them up? I thought that was standard procedure.

Sometimes the symptoms only show up during extended wear. Especially if the left/right eye prescriptions are close.

You waited three days? three days of having symptoms?

EYE DOCTOR.

Right? Who call them that? It's an ophthalmologist op.

Yea that was a bad choice considering that optometrists and ophthalmologists are both doctors, and it seems like op meant eye surgeon.

Just reread the fml and realized op was referring to the lenses on her glasses and not the lenses in her eyes. My bad. How do you not notice backwards lenses in your glasses...
RedPillSucks 33
Woah, wait. Does OP actually mean "backwards", or switch left/right lenses? Now I'm really confused. Anyone know if "backwards" is even possible?

If it's curved strangely, the 'fish eye' thing she says then maybe she means backwards as in the front of the lenses at the back I turned my glasses round and it does seem to curve around the edges like she describes...
nancyfantastic 3
if they truly were backwards they would be curved toward the eye.... I'm guessing backwards is pretty difficult to miss.

I was sick for a month because I wear contacts and don't take them out as often as I should. After seeing a ton of specialists, and a month of puking, my mum had me take my contacts out and... All better! I feel your pain!
swimmingmonkey 2
Because that's how contacts work...right.

you're an idiot, you need to take out your contacts. you're even suppose to wear glasses for hours everyday so your eyes don't become strained. what kind of optometrist did you go to? a back alley one?

Guess what, jayleff? THE OP NEVER SAID A DAMN WORD ABOUT CONTACTS. Next time, read more carefully before being an asshole.

@k9obsessed - jayellef wasn't talking to the OP
