    I absolutely loved my contacts until I needed multiple focals. After that I quit wearing them.

    I thought you could get progressive contacts?

    You can, but they can be a lot more expensive and a hassle if they shift while you're wearing them.

    I was hoping they would work; I really don't like wearing glasses. Progressive lenses area lot more expensive too.

    My dads an optometrist, so I've been wearing them since I was about 12? I love them, especially when I'm working out, I don't have my glasses sliding down my nose!

    What brand are you looking at? Daily disposables, monthlies? I found myself tearing a few monthly lenses when I was cleaning them, so for convenience I generally use dailies, but it's probably not as economic?


    Not 100% sure yet, going to stop by the optometrist some time this week to see if I am able to get them. I would probably like to use the dailies, but not sure. I don't think I would trust myself to clean them like I should (*have lazy moments*) not only that I seem to pass out randomly on the chair when I get home from work, so I am sure that would dry them out terribly.

    I used to, I'm more a glasses person now. Contacts are too
    high maintenance to me.
