When you first start wearing contacts, it seems as though you have to keep puttin' drops in all the time. Eventually this goes away. Another concern is: how much correction do you require? If it's large, especially with astigmatism correction, you have to be careful with regard to how tightly you squeeze your eyes shut, or to how high or low you roll them. Otherwise, they could roll on you, or otherwise pop out onto your eyelashes. But if you are aware of this possibility, and don't do those things, and keep them adequately hydrated, you shouldn't have a problem. Took me a while to get used to mine playing doubles tennis. So not good when you can't see the ball just before it hits ya between the eyes!

I wear contacts that should be cleaned at least every two weeks, and worn for a max of four. I shouldn't tell you this, but I've been wearing the same pair since end of March. Non-stop. Yeah, I know. Time to change 'em out. If anyone wants to trade lives with me, I welcome a PM.
