I wear glasses. dont know why you guys think contacts are easier than glasses. you just put glasses on your face and you are good to go. contacts you have to wash them in solution, then put them in your eye one at a time.

Depends, I wear mine for a month straight, no hassle at all. Plus, losing a contact is nothing compared to losing or breaking a pair of glasses.

wow you know how bad that is for your eyes, have fun being blind when your 50

I know how it could potentially be bad. I understand I may be at a bigger risk for *gasp* an EYE INFECTION! Again, it depends on the person, mine have been perfectly healthy with my wearing pattern, some people are more prone to eye infections and such...
FDA has approved certain kind contacts for 30 days straight now, they let more oxygen through, something that is not actually NEEDED for everyone. [/i]

Daily wears for me. Less than a buck a day. About 10 seconds to put each in and I toss them before bed. No hassle at all. I have extras in my car, work, bag, etc. If they feel uncomfortable, I just switch them out.

contacts seem to be alot easier for me. I can put them in just as quickly as it takes me to get the dust off my glasses and put them on. Plus, the whole world seems so much clearer with contacts. Everywhere you look is in focus. You don't need to worry about being caught outside if it starts to rain either. I f'ing hated with my glasses would get wet. Not to mention that contacts are a lot safer when playing sports.

and when you walk into a warm house after coming from the cold outside. and your glasses steamed up, hated it when that happened.
