I'm wearing them full time now - about 12-14 hours/day. There are pros and cons to them, but they are far better than dealing with glasses!

I bet you'd never want to go back now! After some time with contacts, you might find that when you wear glasses, you may get headaches. It happens all the time whenever I need to go back to glasses. Then again having LASIX does could eliminate all of that.

Glad the switch is working for you. I wore glasses from the age of 8 to 11 and absolutely despised them. Made the switch and now I only wear glasses at night before/after bed time and those lazy morning days.

Eventually I will get Lasik done, maybe even pretty soon. A friend of mine is getting it done this week and so I'll have a personal guinea pig to check out the whole procedure and results :D

I've worn glasses for about 10 years. I used to be able to ski, & jetski without them and be ok. But had to do something about 4 years ago. So I got contacts. Now I can see the trials when I ski :wink: I usually only wear my contacts when I'm skiing or playing a sport. I don't wear them daily. My contacts are comfortable enough, I guess I'm too lazy to fool with that every day. They work a whole lot better that wearing glasses for skiing though. 8)
