Somebody tell me if I'm wrong, but are there not devices in existence called
HARD CONTACTS? And are not these hard contacts made of GLASS?!?

Remember, for years wimps couldn't wear contact lenses because they didn't
have soft mushy plastic watery gas-permeable lenses. REAL men (and women) had
to put GLASS in their eyes. Those who couldn't take it had to go without.
:-)

Seriously, though, aren't hard contacts made of glass? I always thought so,
and my sister used to have them. You know -- the ones that pop out all the
time and eventually cause corneal problems?

So if you *really* want photogrey lenses enough to suffer even MORE than
the large amount of suffering even the softest lenses put every user through,
you can always go back to glass, right? Why hasn't anyone said this before
(if they have, I missed it -- sorry)?
