[at-l] Contact lenses

[bcalkins@disaster-relief.net (Bruce Calkins)]

FWIW.

I tried contacts 20 years ago.  They didn't work for me.  I currently use
photo-tinting prescription glasses.  The degree of sunlight determines the
amount the lenses darken .  I even had a pair of photo-tinting sunglasses
when I was trying the contacts.
