I wear contacts, and have been for almost 8 years. They're a thin piece of plastic, I usually can barely feel them, and I got used to them very quickly. I now wear Day and Night contacts, it's a relatively new kind you can leave in your eye for a month without taking them out once. They are wonderful, and until like two or three days before I have to take them out I can't even feel them, and I almost never rewet them until then either. Also, I don't have peripheral vision when I wear my glasses, but I do when I wear my contacts.
