Yes, there was a short time in high school and college, I forget when now, but there was a time when I was wearing Contac lenses instead of eyeglasses. Soft lens contacs were a new thing at the time, and supposedly easier to put in the eyes, but anyway I eventually decided that my eyes were irritated too much of the time. I forget when I gave up on Contacs and went back to glasses. It is just so much easier just to wear eyeglasses.
