I’ve been wearing contacts on and off for around twenty years or possibly more, and I use the Specsavers monthly ones, which were £10/month for a pair, but are a little more expensive now because I’ve started wearing a toric in my left eye for astigmatism, which makes a huge difference. I’m a lot more aware of that lens, though, because it’s thicker and slightly weighted, so it’s always correctly orientated.
I can sometimes see the edge of the lens, too. I only wear them during the weekend, or during the week if I’m on holiday, ‘cos otherwise I’d have to be using reading glasses all the time at work, whereas I can get away without my glasses there.
As far as getting them in and out is concerned, I sometimes find it a bit of a phaff, but I do put a couple of drops of cleaning fluid into the lens on my fingertip, which seems to help with initial lubrication.
At least nobody here contemplating wearing them is likely to discover the effect of failing to use neutralising solution after taking their lenses out of the sterilising solution and putting one straight in…
Thank God for one-step solutions, that’s a pain I really don’t want to suffer again.
Still, you only ever do it once. 😳
