I've had the same contacts for 3 months (1 month contacts) and I never take them off or clean them. Dont do what I do.

I know I know. But im poor and these are my last pair.

You could at least remove them and clean them. These are your EYES we're talking about here. Take care of them.

yes, clean you contacts. Back in college, I didn't wash them or take em out for 1-2 days ... now, I can't have contacts on for longer than 6hrs or else I get a real terrible headache. :( So I'm basically stuck with glasses unless I'm playing sports ... UGH!

I had contacts for.. hmm, 22 years? I just recently got LASIK on 12-1.


WHEEEE, its so much nicer not having to put things in your eyes anymore. Wake up, see, have fun. No glasses, no contacts, no solution, no etc.

I started wearing contacts 2 years ago.
I know you're suppose to change them daily,but that would be too damn expensive.

I bought like 8 pairs at a time. Then switch between alternating pairs each day. I take them out when I go to sleep and let those soak. I use the other pair when I wake up.
It works quite well and I don't have too buy allot. After 3 or 4 months I dispose of the ones I used. Then open a new package.
The doc said as long as you clean them no worries I guess. I don't see anything wrong with my eyes.

I never liked glasses and having contacts is so much easier. I tried those hard contacts OH MY EYE MY EYES!! Soft ones are nice.

I think your username is a great description of how the first pair of gas permeable contacts felt in my eyes.

Did you get the hard kind (permeable) or the soft contacts? I had the hard contacts for about 1.5 years and then I changed to soft and those were much more comfortable on the eyes.
