yea contacts are a lifesaver. I hate having to worry about where my glsses are. or when i go to the gym if they will slide off. Definitely recommend contacts

Depends on how your eyes take them. I use monthlies, and leave them in the entire month (yeah, yeah). My eyes handle them just fine, but I know people who always struggle with inflammation and other problems they can cause. YMMV.

Definitely recommend them though. A good optometrist should have a 'club' kinda thing where you just make an automatic payment each week/month and they'll send them to you as you need them.

More expensive obviously but dailies are the best.
More sanity. No liquid, always carry a backup. If one falls out or starts to bother, just replace.

I have monthly’s. I got them because of sports in highschool and have had them ever since. Been 6 years. I usually wear them when I’m out or at school but if I’m at home or going to the gym or whatever I just wear my glasses.

Note after around 8 hours my eyes start to dry out and I have to take them out bc I can feel them in my eyes. Make sure you change the solution every time you use them. Also wash your hands before putting them in and taking them out. Don’t want nasty ass hands touching your eyeball right?

It will be a pain in the ass at first. I struggled with putting them in but obviously just practice. I don’t have to use a mirror anymore to guide myself.
