Contact Problem

Hello again.

If you wear, or have ever worn, contact lenses, you most likely have encountered the problem that I faced this morning while getting ready for class. As I picked my right contact lens from its container, I could not tell if I had accidentally reversed it or not. When this happens, the lens will seem to work as it normally would, but as the day goes on the lens will begin to irritate the eye.

As I stood there trying to figure out which side was the correct side, I thought of an easy way to solve this problem. I think that contact lens manufacturers should devise a way that if the lens does in fact reverse sides, the lens should turn a different color. This would make it easy to tell if the lens was flipped to the correct side, because if the lens turned black, for example, it would be impossible to see through it. Although I think this is a good idea and would solve this problem, I am not sure how to manufacture such a product.

That's all I got for now,

Introduction

Hey everyone. My name is Matthew Thornton, but I prefer to be called "Matt." In my first post I am going to briefly introduce myself.

Like I said, my name is Matt and I am from Rochester, NY where I was born and raised. I am a sophomore majoring in Computer Engineering and minoring in (as you could have guessed) Engineering Entrepreneurship.

In my free time, which doesn't seem to be much, I enjoy going to Penn State football games, hanging out with my friends, watching sports, and of course sleeping and eating. While speaking of football, my favorite collegiate team is Penn State (obviously); however, on Sunday's I find myself cheering for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Weird, I know, considering I'm from upstate New York and many would think Buffalo or either New York team would be my favorite.

There is a short, but sweet introduction of myself and if you would like to know more please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks for reading.

~Matt
