| You brought up an excellent point about glasses. Even though one eye
is 20/20, you still should have a plano lens (no prescription) in your
glasses. Otherwise you get an imbalance in the magnification or
minification of images you view (anisemetropia). I know of a lot of
people that wear glasses with one lens popped out. Doing that not
only creates a vision imbalance, it causes the glasses themselves to
sit cockeyed on your face due to the weight differential.
As for removing contact lenses, temporary lenses should always be soft
lenses so they don't alter the shape of your cornea. A good idea in
removing contacts is to slide the contact off the cornea and onto the
white sclera and then remove it. it if won't slide, use a few drops
of saline or cleaning solution to wet it.
Incidentally, as much as people complain about dryness in their eyes
with lasik, it's much more of an issue when wearing soft contact
lenses. Some people might take 2 tablespoons of fish oil a day to
keep their eyes nice and moist so their contacts aren't a problem, but
very very few people would find that regimen acceptable.
