I left my glasses at my boyfriend’s house today, and my contacts burned my eyes so badly that I was forced to remove them. Sometimes that happens. My problem? I would drive to my boyfriend’s house to get them, but not without my contacts. I am legally blind in one eye, can barely make out a person’s facial features when they are only a few feet away. Without corrective lenses, I am useless. What if I am kidnapped and the kidnapper breaks my glasses? What if one of my contacts falls out, or both – how would I escape? My chances of survival would be grim. I would probably not find a way to escape.
