Answer 1

I just got them myself. I'm 24, this is only my second year needing glasses...I've never even gone to the eye doctor before last February (2006).

The first three pairs I got were not right for me...very uncomfortable and not worth the trouble. It's a trial and error type of thing. I was so fed up, I almost said forget it. The pair I have now is great, can't even feel them.

It still takes me about 10 minutes to get them in, but I'm getting better. The first couple of times it took about a half an hour! You get used to it, and realize it's not going to hurt.

When you get your first pair, they'll teach you how to get them in and set a follow up for a week or ten days. If you find the contacts are bothering your eyes (mine felt like they were folded or I had a hair in my eye) do not hesitate to call and make an appointment sooner. Of course, they will probably bother you a bit at first, just because it is new. Give them a day or two before you move the appointment.
