I'm like gd357, I switched to contacts this past year after wearing glasses my whole life. My vision, especially night vision was better with glasses, but the pros far outweigh the cons. The idea of sticking something on my eyeball freaked me out for the longest time until I broke my glasses the morning I was flying home from my sisters house in Texas. My sister and I have almost the same prescription, only she had disposable contacts, which she gave me for the flight home. It got me by and I look better with contacts (not that I'm not already a sexy beast
). Someday I'd like to have surgery, but I don't have $1500 laying around.
