Didn't read all the posts in detail but I've worn contacts for over 20 years. I have had B&L PureVision lenses for the past three or so years. They are extended wear lenses where I can leave them in overnight, and take them out every week or so to give my eyes a rest. They are excellent lenses for me, and are a great alternative to lasik.
I do know a few people who have tried contacts and just can't get used to contacts so they aren't for everyone but I find them vastly superior to glasses...but that should be obvious since I've worn them forever.
