Message: <blockquote data-quote="Palantas" data-source="post: 3542957" data-attributes="member: 140834">I didn't have a suction cup, so instead I drew a picture of a sticky dart on a piece of paper towel, and stuck than on the right lens of my Conquests.  Best I could do.This was kind of a mind-blowing experience.  I'd expect to see a big white box in my vision, but I didn't.  When I first put my bins up to my face, I detected a slight blurriness in my right eye.  Blinking a couple times, and/or actually focusing on an object (bird, moving vehicle), and it would go away.  For comparison, I had my Terras out with nothing in the lens, and the first time I put them up to my face, I still felt my right eye was a tad blurry, and had to blink it away; that was pretty odd.  I left the obstruction in the lens for over an hour, picking them up to look at birds and cars (I do security work).  Apparently, my brain learned to just censor my "sticky dart" out, because I ceased to notice any blurriness at all pretty quickly.</blockquote>
