I wear the 30 day contacts and love them! No worries about keeping up with glasses, it’s great being able to wake up and see the world. The only down side would be the first try in putting them in, it’s not easy but with time and practice it gets very easy. I have to, on ocassion, use rewetting drops but other than that there is nothing to do….
The most serious safety concern with any contact lens is related to overnight use. Extended-wear (overnight) contact lenses–rigid or soft–increase the risk of corneal ulcers, infection-caused eruptions on the cornea that can lead to blindness. Symptoms include vision changes, eye redness, eye discomfort or pain, and excessive tearing.The risk of corneal ulcers for people who keep extended-wear lenses in overnight is 10 to 15 times greater than for those who use daily-wear lenses only while awakeSoft lenses are much more comfortable than rigid lenses, thanks to their ability to conform to the eye and absorb and hold water. You can get used to soft lenses within days, compared with several weeks for rigid. An added benefit is that soft lenses aren’t as likely as rigid lenses to pop out or capture foreign material like dust underneath. Extra-thin soft lenses are available for very sensitive people.
Rigid lenses generally give clearer vision. They can be marked to show which lens is for which eye. They don’t rip or tear, so they’re easy to handle.
