^ First time they made me wear contacts (I was around 10 y/o), the doctor though it was best to put them in my eyes herself. Bad idea because the moment her finger got within half an inch of my eye I promptly passed out.

Those were rigid contacts and I had to wear them all throughout my teens because they were supposed to prevent some eye disorder my dad had and maybe I would develop. Rigid contacts really sucked, my eyes got tired too fast, dust was painful, they fell off too often etc.

Switched to soft contacts a couple of years ago though (astigmatism and -2 dioptres) and it's been a pleasant ride since then, I use a new pair every month but other than that I don't need to take them out at all during the month, and I have none of the problems rigid contacts caused.

(I still have a pair of glasses just in case and actually like how I look with them on, but they are too much hassle)

oh lord that sounds terrifying! how do you take them out? that always freaked me out, watching people slide their fingers about their eyeballs. *shudders*
