re: So I need glasses... At 32 y/o :(

Yankee I too may be conceding to getting a pair of glasses also. For 40 years this body has been a fine tuned machine. Over 40 still got all my hair check not much gray either, the peen can still point the heavens on command, still hear great but recently I have problems reading small print up close. Never had this issue until now. The words are blurry so might be time for a pair of glasses. shite sucks but it was a good run

I never liked the feeling, and sometimes I would push them out of position.

If he's 32 and had recent severe visual decline (claims 20/15 in the past, now is bad enough to require correction), he's likely a very poor candidate for LASIK at present time.

If you spend a lot of time at the computer, get a single vision set

Actually, I have a set for just that at work and a single set, dark, for driving when my eyes are tired from contacts. Not sure who I inherited these bad eyes from. My dad at 90 had remarkable sight for his age.

I kind of close my eyes and use a finger to move the lenses around a little when they bother me too much

What works for you is good. If you find this ineffective, try (after washing your hands) to put your finger directly on your contact, looking toward your nose, sliding your contact over toward your ear to the point that you see the edge pass over your vision/your vision goes blurry because the contact has moved over entirely to the white part of your eye and rub it around a bit (scleral rub). It does wonders. And it does not hurt even a little. Do NOT try rubbing the lens around directly on your cornea (clear part of the eye covering the colored part and black hole in the center).

Is rubbing your eyes bad

Yes. Always. Do not ever rub your eyes. Tugging at your eyelid to stimulate tearing is fine. The scleral rub I explained in my other post is also very effective. But don't ever rub your eyes. If there's something under your eyelid, you can scratch your cornea quite easily. As lsunurse explained, it doesn't feel good.

They have only rolled behind my eye maybe 3 times total.

Ok, seriously... Can we stop talking about them "rolling behind your eyeball"?!

Please?!

Yup and then I was subjected to my husband talking like a pirate for an entire day to me because of the homemade eye patch I had made to try and rest my eye.
