Do You Wear Contact Lens? What Does It Feel Like?

I started wearing glasses when I was 10 now for the past 20ish years I have been wearing contact lenses.  i have tried all the various one that have been on the market but I wear daily disposable ones. These ones come in individual small packaging and I get 90 pairs which should last for approximately 3 month.
It takes a little getting used to ,but after a day or two ,you do not even notice you have them in your eyes as they are comfortable.

The vision with contact lenses is total-a 360 degree vision whereas with glasses one is limited to the boundaries of the frames.
Of course there is a risk of infection but with daily disposables this is minimised.

Also in some cases you can suffer from dry eyes but this can be remedied by blinking more often to keep the eye moist.

Above all I get to wear the latest sunglasses and I can swim comfortably with them on.

Glasses will always be required as a daily backup though as I would not advise you wear the lenses for more than  8 to 10 hours daily and give your eyes a rest once  in a while.

contacts are cool. you don't even remember there's something in your eyes. i have perfect vision. i just wear different colored contacts for shakara. 

be carefull girls !!!
i've had a very bad experience with contact lenses that almost costed me my eye.
so of u want to wear them at all stick to the dailies.

i give the comfort to contact lenses anytime. they are so cool and people don't get to know u are half bliind (that's for those of us that wear thick i mean very thick lenses )


be careful with the laser surgery too, i hear it reverses.

 

Thanks to every one that have responded. I have learned a lot about contact lens in this forum more than I have learned in health classes. Nairaland is a learning institution in a way, other than you chose to attend it. You are not being forced or looking for a financial gain.

Based on what I know now. I think its safer to not use one more than 24hrs. The disposables would be much better. I am used to wearing classes, it sucks especially when it rains. Also, its safer to go to the best people that way they know more about new technology and recalls. My second glass, I have never wore it. The place I got it from, its a small business owned by some asian family. One of their patients came in complaining about eye infection. That's when I didn't want to get into contact lens.

I may get one. From the best with the best advance technology. Not from a local business owner. Its always good to go with the best, regardless of price.
