I tried them once and after spending three hours trying to get the contact out of my eye, I decided to stick with glasses. (I was twelve at the time, but it was a bad enough experience that I haven't tried since then.)

Today I was at a beach and a friend of mine who wears contacts accidentally dropped her contact on the ground and had to use spit to get out the grains of sand and just... put it back. It was kind of horrifying and it really strengthened my resolve to stick with glasses until I can get Lasik or something.

your friend is a moron that has nothing to do with contacts as a concept jesus christ, just keep spares on you in case of dailies or your case filled with solution in case you need to take them out/clean holy shit your friend is dumb

Strike the anon part of my passive aggressive silliness though. Force of habit.

that person dropped their contact in the sand and then considered it clean because they removed sand grains with spit. yes this is necessary that friend needs an intervention before they inevitably lose an eye.

I was mostly talking about the name-calling, and if it was really necessary to phrase the comment that way. But I do agree completely about everything else. The friend needs to learn how to handle they're contact s safely, or they can do terrible damage!

Yeah, when I was about that age I tried contacts and at the time I was told I could only wear the hard lens type.

OMG

It felt like I constantly had an eyelash in my eye. I couldn't figure out how to pop the damn thing back out again. The doctor had to use some little suction cup tool to get it for me.

I was like I WILL WEAR GLASSES FOREVER THANKS.

A couple years later a different eye doctor suggested it again but this time I guess they'd made advances in contacts and he said I could use soft lenses. So I agreed to at least try them on. These I don't feel (unless I wear them too long and my eyes get a little dry but that's not a fault of the contacts).

Took me a while to be able to actually get my finger close enough to my eye to put them in/take them out without reflexively blinking though.

It's really nice to have peripheral vision (which is blurry with glasses, of course) and be able to wear sunglasses without having to get a prescription pair.

The eye thing I refuse to consider now is laser surgery though I know people who've had it done but just. Nope. No thanks. Not even if it means I never have to put contacts on my eyeballs again. Nope.
