contact lenses since i was 15. (i'm 33 now) I love them.

I don't know why anyone would rather wear glasses. i just put my contacts in and i can't feel them and i forget i even have a vision problem. Literally i often forget that i have such poor vision. I usually put them in and keep them in for like 2 or 3 months at a time, i totally forget i'm wearing them, until i finally have to take them out, then i'm always shocked by how blind i really am without them. I've never had any problems with them though.

You don't take them out at all? Not even to sleep? That can't be good for your eyes

Glasses for reading/TV/computer use etc.

Don't wear them enough to warrant contact lenses.

I wear coloured contact lenses sometimes but there's no lenses in them so I don't think they count.

I'm fairly short-sighted but don't bother with glasses (some people just really aren't suited to them, and I'm one of them).

Everything's so much clearer with glasses and HD quality but I can still see just fine without. It's only a problem when I have to see things from a distance, but I've always seen myself as someone with slightly worse-than-average eyesight but not quite bad enough to warrant wearing glasses or contacts.

thats what they always say, but my eyes are fine. my prescription has;t gotten significantly worse from it. if they start to get uncomfortable then i take them out, replace them. if you listen to your body it's not a big deal. i keep them in for usually atlas a few months, then take them out, wear glasses and let my eyes "breathe" for a few days. no problems ever.

Like i said, i really forget i even have a vision problem until they get uncomfortable. then i'm always shocked by how blind i really am without them. lol i really am basically blind past my outstretched hand without them. just blobs of color past that.
