You can be a dick too, and go round the different opticians trying out all their free trials. By the end you will know whether you can wear them full time or not. A month might not be enough time to let them settle properly. Thats what I planned to do, but ended up not bothering

I never knew that. I'm gonna tell my Dad now because when I was speaking to him about contacts he was like "but they're expensive what if you don't like them".

And lmfao that sounds like a good plan. But okays. Thankyou.

Your dad is talking mince.

If you have a heavy prescription and go for thinning lenses,by the time that's paid, and a half decent pair of frames: it can cost a few hundred quid for nice specs.

You can get a years supply of contact lenses for half the cost of a pair of specs these days.

[Sam:)]

oh and btw if you visit the acuvue site and you know your pescription they'll send you five free pairs!

I wear glasses now and then...I may get contacts. Can't walk round looking like a weirdo, lol. Only need them for reading/writing/school, though.

They arent actually that expensive. If I chose to continue mine they were gunna be Ł12 a month.

Not sure of the price difference between the soft/hard ones though :/

[CharlieO]

I could never wear them because I can't touch my eyes and have no desire too.

I think glasses are nice anyway. I would stick with the glasses. I think I need my eyes tested anyway my sight is going slowly.

But to be honest from all the money you will spend on contacts/glasses over the years will probably in the end add up to more than the cost of lasik eye surgery. So that could be an option.

I wear dailies, once you learn the method for putting them in and taking them out it's easy peasy takes me seconds to do it. I've been wearing them for years now.

In summer, or if I'd had a late night - putting them in the fridge and popping them into the eyes once they have gone really cold..... was a brilliant feeling.

Oooooh I might try that some day, I've never even thought of doing that before, I bet that feels amazing! I remember being frustrated that I couldn't do it when I first tried it out and now it takes me all of ten seconds to open the case it comes in, pop it in my eye and do the other one haha.

Try and you'll see what I mean.

Absolutely great on warm days - or if you're on holiday abroad. FFS, the fridge mind you...not the freezer - and NOT near the little freezer bit if it's a fridge with one.

I swear, it's one of the best feelings ever.

I wear contact lenses but I want laser eye surgery as soon as i can get it

but i'm also scared because my teacher got it and she told me that the operation doesn't hurt, but after it, it feels like someone has grated your eyes then put onion in

so now im scarred for life. she said it was worth it tho

I want laser eye surgery too, but in just my right eye. I thought i needed glasses at one point because my vision is sometimes blurry, but, it turns out, my left eye is perfect and my right eye is horrible so, according to my optician, they even each other out so I get average vision and glasses would be a waste of time.

Still, it's really annoying. The only thing putting me off getting laser eye surgery now to correct my right is that I've heard you can only have it done once in your lifetime, so if your vision deteriorates when you're older, you have to have glasses.

Not sure how true that is but that's what I've been told. If it's the case, I'll wait until my left eye gives up and get them done at the same time.

I have monthly ones
