Appt. tomorrow for new contacts.
These are just standard contacts, but my left eye uses a toric version to correct for astigmatism. The problem is that the vision is so blurred without them, my non lensed eye wasn't able to focus on anything to really sense depth. So, not quite as bad as riding with one eye closed, but pretty close and to the point where I'd hate to have misjudged depth and taken people out.

Or hit one of the super craters out there. The new paved sections are nice, but some of the older sections are still pretty rough.
