There are many types of contacts - hard, soft. monthlies, every two weeks, weekly, extended wear, oasis. You and a doctor can discuss. I recommend 1-800-CONTACTS - theyt were much cheaper to buy from than my local place - and very nice and helpful. I don't think I ever got over the local place receptionist (stupid girl!!) seeing me in my chair ans asking my pusher - " can SHE fill out forms?" I pulled out my very best snotty and said "Of course I can." I hope (and think) I made her feel bad.
I never had any problem popping my contacts in and out, my eyes never ever in past got pink-eye, etc. I DO not recommend this, SIL amazed me when she popped her itchy Hard lense (It was long ago when all lenses were hard) and put it in her moist mouth!!! She never had a problem either.
