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.
[/QUOTE]Yep. I was thrilled to get my contacts because I could finally buy attractive sunnies and wear them and see clearly at the same time. I've never really been into sunnies because of needing glasses, now I'm liberated in a sun-smart fashion! It's pretty hard to get nice prescription sunnies as well. There's lots of good frames for real glasses, but sunnies require a different type of shape and material that I, at least, couldn't get. Which may sound shallow, but hey, I like fashion! And it's annoying to not be able to have fashionable sunnies.
I think I'd have trouble with the no-rub thing as well. I get hayfever which affects my eyes quite a bit and I do rub them often enough. It would be hard not to too, since it's not a terribly conscious thing - when I have an itch, I rub it! The most annoying thing I find with contacts actually is putting them in. Not the actual putting them on my eye, although it took me a while to get used to doing it, but making sure my fingertips are totally free of little fibres and specks of stuff that will get on the lens and irritate my eye. Nothing worse than popping one in and getting that little shooting pain and not being able to keep my eye open because there's a weeny fibre on the underside of the lens scratching my eyeball. And while I'm used to putting them in, it's still a bit traumatic having to hold my eyelashes back - I feel like they're going to pop out! So it's annoying to have to take the lens out and start over sans fibres.
