I've had contacts before, never comfortable with having to poke myself in the eye (twice) every morning. Soaking (cleaning was also a pain) as was the price of all the stuff you needed to use. And were a bugger when you stayed up late & got tired eyes.
I've had friends that have had laser done & they swear by it.
I where multi focals now, but not sure if I would ever get them done.

 

i hate my contacts but i HATE my glasses even more. looked into the lasik thing and found out that for some reason, my insurance doesnt cover it. and it was outta my bankroll back then. should probably look into it again......

 

Good luck. Hope you like em. Couldn't live without em myself.

 

Well I keep trying to adjust my glasses

Doc eased me into wearing them, 4 hrs at first then +2 hours every day. Wore them to work the first time today. Funny, only one person noticed at the office

 

Wore glasses as a young teen, then HARD contact lenses through high school and college. Hard lenses were a pain, but one good thing: had a roofing nail fall off my parent's roof and hit me in the eye, shattered the hard contact but eye was OK after a week. Contact acted like a tiny shield.

Went to soft lenses and sometimes glasses up until 2002, when I had Lasik. At that time, had been wearing glasses or contacts for 32 years. Have to wear reading glasses in lowlight conditions to see the fine print, but otherwise nothing.

Very nice, from all the years of pulling my glasses off when taking the helmet off, having the wind blow my contact off, etc.

Good luck with them, always liked contacts better than glasses. I had the kind years ago you could sleep in, are those still available?

 

I just started wearing glasses this year. They help take the fuzz off signs and put leaves on the trees. Up close they are not needed so they ride on top of my head a lot at work.

 

I have wore glasses and contacts for 15 years now, and i prefer contacts over glasses, after i get back from this deployment I'm going to see about getting lasik, the VA should cover it because i am beyond legally blind. Hope it works out well.
