Any one wear them?
I have a stigmatism which means i have to have toric lenses. Im going to Asda tomorrow for a consultation and trial thingy, i was thinking about the 30 days ones u dont have to take out everyday etc, any of you use them? Its about £120 for a years supply which is less then i thought 
Worn glasses since i was 4 (15 years now ) and im fed up with them!!!
Cheers

Yup iw wear um
Get mine from Specsavers, its £25 per month and they send them straight to your door. You also get free consultations whenever you need them, and give you a discount if you choose to get glasses as well

I love the ones i have now, they are the best ive used so far as i broke all my glasses and used to fall asleep in my daily ones so these are the simplest option

If you rub your eye you tend to rub your eyelid not your eyeball so it jsut moves then slips back to where it normally sits

You dont have to but you can.
I normally take them out once or twice a month at weekends or something so that my eyes can have a rest and incase there is any dust or dirt on the lense

Good i dont want to have to take them out or put in every night 
See what u mean about a break, more worried about actually putting them in than anything else

Ally, there really easy to get used to, its hard to get um in at first but after a few weeks it becomes second nature and they go straight in. You cant feel them in your eye at all. Only time mines ever fallen out has been in the shower when scrubbing my face, but if you just rub your eye they just move back into place after a few blinks

drax ive never been punched in the eye wearing them so i dont know but i doubt it
charlene not everyone can handle wearing them for long periods of time as their eyes are just too sensitive or do not keep moist enough for the lense
