How many people here wear contact lenses?

I tried, lord I tried, but sticking my finger in my eye, was just something I couldn't get used to.
My wife used to have to put them in for me, I finally gave up.

This. I tried them last year and had a hard time getting them in and out. One night it took me an hour and a half to get them out.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to try them again. I'm getting a cataract removed in my left eye and the lens they're implanting will correct that eye's vision. And I can't have 20/20 in one eye and 20/800 in the other, because I can't wear a monocle... and, even if I could, the size difference in the images would make it impossible to see. (When your vision's really bad, glasses make images 15% smaller, so my brain would never be able to combine the two images.) So once I get this operation I'll need a contact in the right eye. I figure, if I only have to put 'em in ONE eye, it might be easier... hopefully...

You guys having trouble with your contacts:

It goes away. You just have to give it a week or so.

As for touching your eye... I never actually touch my eye. The contact does. I can get the contacts in and out without ever making contact with my eyes.
