I don’t want to wear glasses at my
wedding. Will it take time to get used to contacts, or can I switch
just for the day? Can I cry with them in?
Since
contacts can take some getting used to, you’ll need to plan
ahead. “If you have an astigmatism or some other complication,
it can take several months to refine your prescription,” says
Barry Weissman,of Spec Savers. See your opthamologist at least three
months before the wedding, and wear your lenses as often as possible
to get used to them.
When the reception’s over, pop them out and go back to the
comfy Coke-bottles you’ve been wearing. As for crying, “things
will be a bit blurry, but they’ll dry up,” says Weissman.
Just don’t rub your eyes too much, or you’ll end up kissing
the best man instead of the groom.
