I just got contacts

[bobby9101]

I just got contact lenses yesterday, so glad to not have to wear glasses half the time.
So far I like them, other than my eyes get a little irritated when I put them in, and yesterday (the first time I have had to take them out) it took me an hour to get them out! I am not good with not blinking when I am touching my eye

You won't regret that you got contacts, I've had them for 9 years and would never go without them now. Touching your eyes will get easier as you adjust to them. You'll be able to touch both eyes like it's nothing after you get use to putting them in/taking out. Just takes time.

I'd like contacts but can't get them because I wear bifocals (or so i'm told).. also I'd be afraid they'd fall out or I'd get an eye infection.

They've got bifocal contacts.

As long as you wash your hands well before putting in/taking out then there should be no problems with infections. I've had 1 eye infection in the last 9 years. Also they fit on your eye very tight so them falling out is unlikely. The only time they could fall out is if you take a shower with them in or fall asleep and wake up with them being dry.

Great! Although my elder sister wore them for years and according to her they were such a hassle (buying the right treatment solutions, washing the lenses, knowing which one goes for which eye). She did the lasik laser eye surgery a few months ago.

Not sure how they're a hassle, I've had contacts for about 9 years with no problems. They're hardly any work to clean...take them out and put them in the case of solution over night. The cases have 2 different colors or an "R" for the right eye...pretty easy to tell which one goes in which eye IMO. The cleaning solution you'd just get the same kind every time.

I can't stand wearing glasses and have probably wore my glasses about 10 times in the 6 years I've had them. I'd be lost without contacts. You get so use to contacts that you can't even tell you've got them in.
