Contact Lenses

I've gotten used to my glasses. Had them since 6th grade. Contact lenses scare me. I don't want them to go behind my eye and then me having to rub all over the eye to get to it.

I wear some all the time, except when sleeping, since that would apparently make it possible for one to get stuck behind my eye. :(

However, ever since I switch from glasses to contects, I've loved them. Only problem is occasionally they get out of place or hurt, but a quick blink or rub usually fixes that. :)

I'm doing classified research concerning contact lenses.

Speaking of which, has anyone ever tried freeze-drying their lenses?

I have daily disposables which I use when I need them, or expressed above, want to look good. I learnt how to do it at Reading Festival after wasting like 15 of them. I've used them in water and they were okay,but that wasn't sea water/Chloride Pool Water so I supose it didn't matter so much.
Very comfortable I think.

I've had contacts for about 5 years now. I couldn't live without them.

I'm so glad I got rid of my glasses and got contact lenses. They have never troubled me, and I never get sore eyes from wearing them all day. I have worn them to sleep and nothing's happened. However, I remember my optometrist saying it's not good to wear them when I go swimming in a pool because of the chlorine.

I wear contacts because I don't want to be a nerd. :(

I wanted contacts once, but I couldn't bring myself to poke myself in the eye. I'm used to my glasses and I like 'em coz I look very nice in them :)

You don't "poke yourself in the eye", but simply place the contact gently against thy pupil, and then it kinda sticks to it and you bring your finger away.

It all becomes standard precedure after a week or so.

I have grey contacts and they are comfy and soft and pretty ^__^

I want to get coloured ones, i saw cats eyes lenses that looked cool. Other than that I don't my ex bf did, personally I thought he looked better with glasses.

I wear glasses but not often, just when I'm in class and I can't see the whiteboard etcetera.
I am getting contacts but when I got my glasses (about 4/5 months ago), I was told to wait about half a year before I got them. I don't know why though.

I've used them for like, 6-7 months now. Sometimes it is a bother though...sometimes it hurts or falls out. :P But it's okay I guess. :] It took me a while to get used to putting them in though--I remember when I had to try them on at the optometrist, and it took me forever just to stick 'em in. XD;;
