Puff test is teh suck.

I have soft contacts (Daily use ones) for some reason if I don't replace my contacts with new ones frequenty my eyes freak out (uber red, sore, itchy, you name it. No, cleaning / soaking the not daily use didn't help my eyes

I can now put them in without a mirror, very quickly. In fact, I once put them in while I was driving on the freeway. I can see alright without them... still a good time though.
yep.

I've been wearing soft contact lenses for about 15 years now (well, not consecutively ) and think they're great. I take them out every night and dispose of them monthly so I don't have to do anything other than daily ReNu rinsing. I even stare at an LCD display all day for my job. I do take them out and use an old pair of glasses if they get dry but that's pretty rare.

My tip to see if they're inside out is to look at then from the side on the top of your finger. If the lens has an irregular bow in it it's inside-out (it'll have a more natural curvature if it's rightside-up). My new PureVision ones have a small number 4 printed on them (must be the size or something) that also confirms to me whether they're correct or not.

My friend got lasik after wearing lenses for a number of years and had problems readjusting to wind actually hitting his eyeball after so long.

Voch

Great lasik video
I found this site called realhealth.tv which has a great video. Even though I am a new member, I think everyone here would really like watching this film b/c it was really nice hearing and watching someone talk about their difficulties and how they cope. I wanted to share this with everyone here, hoping it would help you guys too. Here's the link RealHealth.tv.
