the thought of putting sth in your eye and pulling it out again is so fucking unpleasant to everyone who isn't used to it

It's even crazier when you consider that they used to be made of glass and were not disposable

I had no problems after Day 1 of contact wearing. Got over it being weird quickly.

Not a big deal at all. Taking them out and putting them in is completely painless and easy after the first day or so.

I have to say though I would never have worn the glass ones.

About $2k for both eyes, and this was over 5 years ago, definitely worth it.

My favorite part about my contacts is when they come loose and I have to try and get them to stick back onto my eye. I consider it a mini game.

do you use your finger for that or do you just blink?

I've been wearing them for over 20 years and I will never change that.

The super ultra cheat code saline is Opti-Free Replenish. I haven't gotten "cloudiness" with extended wear since I made the switch 8 or 9 years ago. Not once. The stuff is god-tier, premiere comfort every day. I can wear my one week disposables for months.

Can you get your insurance to pay for that or did you have to pay for all of it yourself?

Close my eye and kind of roll it around until I feel it connect again

Sometimes that doesn't work and it falls out so I just have to get a new one

Some people are just really self conscious about wearing glasses. But for real, if I was that way, I'd just get Lasik.

Glasses are shitty lol, random out of nowhere smudges. And nowadays there are contact lenses that you can keep in your eyes for like a month with no ill effect.

I'm not the guy you asked but just check with your vision insurance. Mine offers 15% off for Lasik. Which doesn't sound like a lot but using that guy's $2000 example that's an extra $300 I wouldn't have to come up with.
