Who wears contact lenses?

What kind do you have? Daily, weekly, monthly, one year or more regular ones?

If you have the disposable ones, how do they compare to the conventional one year ones? Are they more flimsy and slide on the eye more or do they stick good on the eye like the one year ones? The reason why I ask is because the one year ones look the most sturdiest and stick to the eye real good.

I love, love, love my contacts. Mine are monthlies. No cleaning, no rubbing, just remove every night, rinse and they're ready for the next day. Toooo easy! Not like the old days when I first began wearing contacts. I started with the hard plastic onces, eventually graduated to some soft ones that you actually had to sterilize in some little plug in boiling thing overnight and now it is just easy street in comparison.

Mine stay in very well and I have never had an issue with them popping out or slipping around. Smile

How much for monthlies?
And can they last over a month?
And do they stuck to the eye as good as the yearly ones?
Are they more flimsy than the yearly ones?

my eyes hurt. i can feel the contacts in them and they sting sometimes. i sometimes blink and they get blurry. never tried anything but the disposable monthlys. sorry. i always have to put drops in my eyes and that lasts for about 30 minutes before i feel like i have to put more in. however, if you don't have astigmatism, i wouldn't worry too much about my comments. i have been told there is a huge difference between regular and toric lenses (toric for astigmatism).

OUcH !! Anyways, maybe go with a different brand? Or go with the yearly ones? I dont know, but it seems the yearly ones are more sturdy and holds in the eye better so it won't irritate it like the more flimsy disposable ones? I don't know, it seems that way anyways.

I wear gas-permeable rigid lenses. Until I started wearing contacts my eyesight got continually worse. The rigid lenses retain the shape of the eye and prevent change.

I am extremely near-sighted and would never give up my contacts. My vision is dramatically better with them compared to glasses.
