Talk about people not staying on top of technology.

I had an older, but not what I'd consider elderly, gentleman in for an eye exam yesterday with our optometrist. While waiting for his wife, he asked me, "Do people still put those things in their eyes?" When I inquired further, I found he was referring to contact lenses.

"My granddaughter had some. I thought they damaged the eyes."

I told him I've been wearing contacts since 1973, first old-fashioned hard lenses, but rigid gas permeables since the '80s -- but most people wear soft lenses, some for dry eyes, etcet etcet.

He was amazed. Somehow, I don't think he has a cell phone, either.
