    So all you contact wearers. Which ones are better, hard or soft? Which are easier to put in? Which last longer? Which do you prefer?

    Do any of you use the disposable ones? Are they better and cheaper in the long run?

    Well as I mentioned before I only use mine occasionally and hence they're dailies as it works out cheaper in the long run, dailies are soft lens but aren't as good as hard lens which would be the monthly ones, it all depends on what you want them for. Long term use your better with hard lenses.

    Hi, Alty!

    I find the hard ones much easier to use. The openings to my eyes are rather small, so using the soft ones with getting them in and getting them out can be quite a pain most of the time.

    I've asked similar questions to the ones that you're asking by starting other threads.

    Thanks!

    I find softer lenses to be more comfortable

    I once put two hard lenses in one eye at the same time. It took me a good portion of the day to figure out why one of my eyes was so irritated and what I had done wrong!

    Depends on what you mean by "better". Better fit? Depends on the fitting physician and the shape of your eye. Better comfort. Personally I think soft lenses are more comfortable, I've worn both for multiple years. Better financially? Soft lenses, for sure.

    Soft are easier (for me) to put in. Hard lenses tend to last longer, most are very expensive and last a year.

    Like I stated, I love my soft lenses. I'd never wear hard lenses again.
