Trembriele Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Maybe I missed it. Are you transitioning from glasses to contacts? I'm curious as to whether it's a matter of the contacts being new to you or if you dislike them for some reason.Good job on all that work; I'm impressed with all he bonus mission work!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Battle Log Link to post
