  My last eye exam was in August of 2008. My contacts are running out and I finally dragged myself to the LensCrafters nearby today. I had to take my contacts off right away and I was blind like a bat inside the store (my eyes are bad).

  Two things I know about bats:

  1. They’re not really blind but rely mostly on their hearing to, uh, get around.
  2. Bats are mysteriously dying in mass, and it has something to do with a fungus that causes the white nose syndrome. Frogs, too. That much I remember from a New Yorker article.

  Without contacts, I can’t see shit, and my hearing isn’t so good these days either – I blame it on extensive headphone use and subway noise.
