i love them though. i've been using them for about 7 yrs now and i wouldn't change it for anything. i'm waay to chicken for laser eye surgery and soft contacts suck when something gets in it and you have no solution with you so you can't take them out. hard contacts are so hassle free. i wear them when i'm sleeping, take them out when i wake up and i'm better than 20/20 all day. i think they are great. and i've had the same pair for like 4 years now.. they last forever if you take good care of them.
