I got hard-hard contacts when I was 11, then gas perms in my early or mid-20's. I'm told my eyes produce a lot of gunk, which is the medical term for protein deposits, and I could never get the gas perms all clean and sparkly, no matter what I did to them, and yes, I tried it all. About 10 years ago, I started asking the eye docs if I could have soft disposable ones, but they all acted like it was a big mysterious taboo, that I'd never have anything near 20/20 vision, and to not even think about it, so I continued on with crappy foggy vision all the time.
Last summer, I found a doc who said "Sure!" (I almost fell off the chair). I put in the trial pair and it was like the angels sang and the world became high def! I have great vision, CLEAR vision, and can even wear weaker reading glasses than I was with the GP's. If you drop one, pffffffff....no more crawling around the floor with a flashlight, just open up another one! When they get dirty, throw them away, nice new clean ones! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They're supposed to be good for two weeks, but I can usually get three out of them before changing.
I don't know what all the other eye docs' problem was with switching to soft contacts, but you all know who you are and you all SUCK! [:'(]
