... the surgeon said mine was the hardest surgery he had ever had. It wasn't bad for me. I ran the day after my oral surgery. You have my prayers. 
You can sleep in them but it's not recommended. I sleep in mine - bad habit.
I've been wearing contacts since I was about 16 (give or take a year or 2 lol.. I don't keep tabs on this kind of stuff). Piece of cake to put in and take out once you get used to it.
I used to wear Focus Night & Days but they weren't very good.
For the last two years I have been using Acuvue Oasys (ferrari of contacts). I can't even tell I have anything in my eyes, they are amazing.
I've heard good things about Air Optix Aquas too because they have higher oxygen permeability which is better for your eyes if you sleep in them and theoretically lowers redness.
But I think the Acuvue Oasys are more comfortable than the Air Optix. They also have UV protection where as Air Optix don't.
So from my experience and research
Acuvue Oasys: More comfortable, UV protection. 2 week replacement.
Air Optix Aqua: Higher oxygen permeability, lower cost. 4 week replacement.
In the end, I've stuck with the Oasys and love them. These are 2 week disposables (replace every 2 weeks).
You won't go wrong with either I'm sure.
Sometimes I've gone the full 2 weeks without taking them out and I still can't tell they are in my eyes.
I'm trying to kick the habit because I don't want to go blind or something
I can no longer stand wearing glasses. I do so every once in a while for a couple days in a row to give my eyes a break.. But they drive me crazy!! I just want to throw them into traffic.
Best part of contacts: You can lie down with your head sideways on the pillow and fall asleep to a movie without your glasses getting in the way and then crushed under your body after you wake up the next morning
The only thing I don't like about them is eyes get irritated easier. So if you are out drinking late and there is a lot of indoor cigarette smoke, you are going to have really red eyes and people think you are wasted or stoned when it's really just the contacts doing it. It's not as bad if you take them out every night though.
I plan on getting lasik after I save up for some more important things however.
Good idea, think i will ask about that. Haven't been to eye doctor in a while. Good killer insurance though so hopefully i can swing a free trial. Lasik (minus the laser to the eye) seems the best way to go though.Your welcome! Might as well give it a try. Not gonna go blind or anything
I bet you'll be happy.. If not, Lasik is gettin cheap!
But I gotta admit the thought of a laser slicing open my eye is kinda scary..
Maybe at your next optometrist checkup you can get a free trial of the Acuvue Oasys. I bet they'll say yes if you go somewhere reputable.
