Eyeglass question

[Texas Aggie]

sticking stuff in my eye has never had any appeal for me

Me either. In fact, its to the point where I can't stand objects pointing in the direction of my eye, whether its a straw in a drink or a fan blade on a ceiling fan. It drives me crazy and I must move the object.

However, I've been wearing contacts since 1981, including hard lenses for the first 10 or so years of that time, and it took minutes or even seconds, rather than hours, days, or even weeks, to get used to them and not be bothered by the eye contact. If I'm as sensitive as I am -- even with NO CONTACT with the eye -- anyone can wear contacts. The newer lenses are so good, I don't get dry eyes anymore.
