Having glasses fog up in a jacuzzi and avoiding steam rooms and saunas all together at the gym is quite inconvenient. Not being able to drive if you lose your lenses is something you can't work around until the doctor's office opens.

I've done two 2-week 180km and 160km hiking trips and had glasses and contact lenses with me. I didnt even use the glasses just put the contacts in first thing when I woke up and took them out when I went to sleep. No problem with that. LOL I've never worn glasses in a jacuzzi. I dont need to see in a jacuzzi, as long as I see well enough not to sit on anyone Have also been in sauna. Also about the last line: solution is not to lose your lenses. I've never lost any.

Nothing sucks like walking across a half mile of parking lot on a bright sunny day to get to an amphitheater for a concert, only to realize once inside the gate that you have on your sunglasses and not your regular glasses. Some how when the sun goes down on an outdoor concert sunglasses just aren't the ticket. Of course there are self tinting lenses available, but they are too light in the sun and too dark indoors.

Well just wear contacts and normal sunglasses on top. Or wear a hat with a brim that shades your eyes - works just as well.

There are thousands of examples how glasses and contact lenses are a pain in the rectum, but if they work for you in a trouble free manner that's never caused any inconvenience, then that's really great. Everyone is different, and I, for one, can't wait to shake off these chains.

I've never had any problems with contacts during romantic interludes But I agree that it would be nicer to have naturally perfect vision. I used to hate glasses and lenses and this annoyance surfaces whenever I have to shell out for glasses or spend time going for sight tests. Oh well. I'm not saying they've never caused inconvenience but you just said how much the operation is setting you back as well as the pain and not being able to rub your eyes. I can't imagine not rubbing my eyes when I am sleepy in the morning. It would be much more frustrating than wearing glasses IMO. BTW hope you dont think I'm trying to be argumentative, just my way of discussing
