RE: Conatacts
I'm wearing contact lenses since i was 16. Before that i wore glasses (since i was 8), but those give me headaches. I also find the view with glasses not satisfying because when you look down you see the sidewalk kinda curved, i guess that varies on wich strenght you need.

I started out with the hard contacts, wich are fine but take a long time to get adjusted too (you have to slowly increase the amount of hours your wear them daily). With hard lenses you have to spend lots of time on cleaning them (you need to gently rub them between your fingers with cleaningliquid), if not you can get serious infections of the eyes (cleaning is essential for all lenses btw, but the "difficulty" to clean varies - ofcourse this doesn't go for daylenses). Hard lenses also tend to fall out (or irritate) if your eyes get dry, so if you get dry eyes easily i don't advice those.

Atm i'm very satisfied with soft lenses wich i replace every month. Cleaning them is easy too, just put them in the cleaner/desinfectant for atleast 20 mins then switch the fluid to the neutralising one...and after 10 mins in that you can wear them again. The way i implemented that in my daily routine is to put them in the cleaner/desinfectant when i go to sleep and the next day as soon as i wake up i put them in the neutraliser fluid...by the time i'm showered and dressed they are ready to go again too..so hardly a hassle :P Downside is my eyes are pretty bad so i need to have glasses too to see where i'm going after i took the lenses out (it's always adviced to have glasses too when you have contacts, for emergencies).

Same here. Contacts sound very complicated for me. I rather constantly clean my glasses... :P

Though glasses can be a bit uncomfortable. I've only had them for a year, but I've gotten so used to them that I often forget to take them off when needed... :tongue:

Only an eye-doctor can tell you this (as mwe99 said). Never rely on people's opinion for health issues.
