I wore glasses from age of 7 till about 15 when got first contacts, then maybe 7 years ago had laser surgery so don't need either now. I used all different types of contacts including coloured ones for a while. I went through phases where I would wear them all the time and then others where hardly at all depending on how lazy feeling. I liked the disposable ones the best as all the cleaning was a bit of a pain sometimes. Can't really remember any bad points apart from occasionally forgetting to take out after a drunken night out. Found them easy enough to put in and out once got the knack.

My prescription was perfect for laser surgery though and now have probably saved the money back I would have spent on contacts and glasses, and I love not having to think about either.

Contacts definitely worth a try.
