thoughts on contact lenses

I only started wearing glasses at the tail end of my college career, after years of not being able to see things more than 6 feet in front of me, until somebody finally said, "That's wrong, you should be able to see clearly farther than that." I finally got myself to Chinatown and got the seeing thing cleared up, but I only started looking into contact lenses this year. They're easier in some ways, sure, but Christ are they irritating. It's easier to see in places like dance class or skating, where glasses would be a hinderance, but nobody mentioned, ever, how much they would BURN. They're finw when I wear them, but for about an hour after I take them out, it's Burn City, population: Me. Ouch.
