Advantages: No glasses, easy to wear

Disadvantages: can get foggy if not cleaned regularly

I have had to wear glasses since school days, now in my thirties, I have gone through various styles, some good, some very bad. I have always liked the idea of being able to see without looking through a window, so decided to try contacts. After the initial shock of poking my finger in my eyes every morning, I have found them really comfortable to wear. Most of the time not realizing I have them in at all!
As yet these are the only type I have tried and the only fault I can think to mention is that if you don't give them a bit of a rinse and rub down occasionally, they can get a little uncomfortable and 'foggy'. This, I imagine, is the same for all weekly / fortnightly lenses. Though it does work out considerably cheaper wearing fortnightly lenses than dailies.
I have also found a few lenses with little nicks in the side, if you find one, don't put it in, it is the most irritating sensation I have ever experienced! I suppose it's just the luck of the draw on that one though!!

Summary: Good lenses, cheaper option than dailies
