Eye prescriptions are only good for one year, at least in my state. A real doctor won't even let you have a copy of it after that.
As for extended wear contacts, I used to wear my lenses for days at a time. After a few years, I became sensitive to them and now I wear the same type of lenses but take them out every night (usually, hehe) -- apparently this is a common scenario.
Does anyone know where they show the base curves available for ciba focus lenses?
edit>> oh yeah, wearing glasses is always less risky for your eyes than contacts (unless of course, the glasses break and shards get into your eyes - i imagine most glasses are really plastic nowadays anyway). You basically have these pieces of plastic touching your cornea, which isn't really natural. The higher the water content of the lens the better (it lets your eye breathe better). If the fit isn't correct, there will be friction everytime you blink. It can be painful if this happens. Some doctors don't know how to properly fit you with contact lenses, even though they be certified to do so. That being said, I much prefer contacts because of the improved peripheral vision, the improved possibilities of getting laid, etc.
