Ghost Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Does anyone wear contacts? I've been debating if I should or should not get them. I'm just scared they might hurt my eyes in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 They're great I've worn them for 20 years. Get monthly wear so you don't have to take them out a lot. I take mine out once a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I've been wearing contacts for about 22 years. I now have bifocal lenses, which are awesome for a relic like me. They are taken out and cleaned daily, but I throw them out monthly and use a new pair. I don't believe in the ones you leave in all the time. The proteins build up on them and you will be prone to minor eye infections. If you can afford them, get the ones you throw away daily. If not, the monthly ones which I use are great. PM me if you have specific questions. We have the best eye doctor who specializes in contacts. Even though it's a haul from Putnam County, we still go to her on Long Island for our annual check ups.

Garb Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Contacts are awesome. I wear the monthlies - which I tend to wear for about two to three months at a time without any issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I thought you can't sleep or shower with them? When they first came out, now I play rugby in them, swim, fight, ****, drink, ****, shower, piss, run, fart, stand, walk, sleep, drive, skydive, smoke, trip, roll, jump, climb ladders, I'm guessing you got the point.

joewilly Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I do. I just don't want to go blind in 20 years. you won't. i've been wearing em 32 years & my vision has actually improved slightly in the last 4 years. I was lucky & never had any trouble or discomfort. others don't care for them. I'd say give them a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I wear them. Like Borgo, I take them out for cleaning every night and start a fresh pair each month. I was 44 before I had to give in and get corrective lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I heard they are VERY uncomfortable at first. I think my eyes will eventually adapt to them. Eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I heard they are VERY uncomfortable at first. I think my eyes will eventually adapt to them. Eh? not really. I avoided contacts for 10 years but finally decided to get them a year ago. Most of the time i barely know they are in there.. I change mine every 2 weeks which works perfect for me. i would suggest having a pair of glasses as backup so you can slowly transition into wearing contacts.

I just don't wear them unless I'm driving at night or watching porn in my bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBrick Wall Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 You should get them. You'll be amazed at how much more you can see--and how much you've missed without them. They're not uncomfortable at all except for the very first time you put them in. Get the monthlies. Just make sure you do all the right stuff--especially don't sleep in them, and they'll be great.

Lenses come out--even for monthlies--after a day of wear in order to be cleaned and allow them to rehydrate. Also, showering with them in dries the lenses out. So, you should apply rewetting drops after you shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughters both have lenses that they do not have to remove at night. My elder daughter wears them for two weeks at at time, sleeping, showers and all, with no problems.

LiLMiCKMANTLE Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 i love contact i have been wearing them almost 9 years now and could not do the things i love without them... plus i have very light eyes so the sun is a pain in the butt so i wear sunglasses almost every where during the day and without contact i would be able to afford Oakleys and other nice shades... im like garb i wear the monthlies and wear them for about 2-3 months... and i only take them out when there bother me.. Clear Eyes drops tends to really dry them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I always keep mine in, that's the whole of monthly wear. I take them out every 4 to 7 weeks and soak them then put them back in the next morning for a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
