How many people here wear contact lenses?

Had them for a decade, and would never wear glasses again. They're a huge convenience on a variety of levels. They don't bug me at all. I don't even know they're there anymore.

No I don't

If I didn't have a ****ing astigmatism I would wear the ones that didn't need taken out. I wish they made a toric lens that didn't need taken out every night. I'm thinking about using lasic as a reward for when I reach my weight goal.

I've worn contacts for 25 years, and disposables for the past decade.

I've thought several times about getting Lasik, but there's no guarantee that my vision will be as good as it is with the lenses - and I'm spoiled by my eyesight now, so it's not worth the risk to me.

I've worn contacts since my freshman year of college (I'm 44). Love 'em, no problems with them. It's nice that I don't have to enzyme-soak them anymore like I did in the old days.

In fact, the technology is so good now I have bifocal contacts to keep pace with my deteriorating vision.

I got them a few years ago. Alot better than glasses imo.

Although, im probably going to damage my eyesight further cause a havent taken them out in over a month

Contacts are FTW. I'm wanting to make the leap to LASIK, but I'm scared.

I don't have to wear glasses or contacts, which is odd since everyone else in my immediate family does have to. Somehow I lucked out and have past-perfect vision.

Ive wore em for 7 years now, like em alot better than glasses. And usually when I get a 6 month supply, I stretch them out for almost a whole year. Alot of times I dont even take them out at night either.

I've worn CIBA's Night and Day lenses for about 5 years. Awesome lenses. I thought about LASIK but these contacts allow you to wear them 24/7. No problems at all.

I wore contacts for 20 years. Five years ago I had lasik along with my wife. Best monet I ever spent. Contacts are better than glasses, but if you can afford it go with lasik.

I wore glasses for 10 years and contacts for 20.

I made the leap to lasik in march.
I am thrilled with the results.
I just turned 40 so I opted for the monovision. One eye for distance and one for close up. I do not even notice now.
My distance vision is 20/15 and my close up is 20/15 also.
I would recommend this to anyone.

I'm afraid to get contacts, and I'm afraid to get lasik. On the lasik, no one knows what happens to an eye that's had lasik for 40 years and is aging, so until a full generation dies with perfect vision I'm going to hold off. On the contacts thing, I'm a little squeamish about having stuff in my eye, and after taking a light-speed rock to the glasses when mowing the lawn as a teenager, I'm kind of comfortable with glasses being a kind of armor protection for my eyes.

Plus I also think that glasses are kind of cool face jewelry.

Are the ones who hate it all blind?
