Contact Lenses

[audi321]

Hi all. I'm a bit of a girl when it comes to my eyes (crying if anything goes near them!) and I've worn glasses for around 5 years for distance (not a strong prescription -1.25)

I've thought about contact lenses, but the thought of getting them in and out makes my eyes water, and then someone said you can get ones you can sleep in and you only have to take them out and in once a month???

Is this right? And if so, are there any major drawbacks?

Thanks in advance guys.

Quick update. I went to get the trial fitting at my opticians today and it was a nightmare. The kind optometrist struggled to get them in my eyes but eventually did after about 10 goes. Then it was my turn..........not a hope. I just couldn't get 1 in, let alone 2. She was so patient with me, but I really don't think this is for me!

My prescription isn't much (-1.25) so I think I'll just leave it and wear my glasses, or go without and squint when I don't want to wear em!
