if they're really really uncomfortable try a different brand, i got my first pair and they bugged me a lot so i tried a different kind and now they're fine. Don't worry, you don't have to be as carefull w/ them as you think, you can still swim w/ them :)

yeah, i'm blind :( but you can swim, just keep your eyes closed, otherwise you'll lose them. I've had them for like 4 years and the only ones i had a problem with were the yearly ones, within the firs month i had ruined 2 pairs, now i have monthlys and have had no problems.

Do you have hard or soft contacts? I have soft contacts and they have never bothered me. I think a plus for hard contacts is that they don't dry up as easily. That comes in good when your skiing; there have been times when I'm trying to do something difficult and all of sudden my vision goess blurry as I try to blink to get water back in my eyes.

mauii i think i might have the same ones as you. Mine are ok to sleep in but in winter it is so dry your eyes get really dry now i sleep with them in all the time and just carry these drops around and put those in. i like contacts a lot more than glasses once i got used to them



where does all the white go when the snow melts?
