You have daily disposables, weekly, biweekly, etc. They are completely not noticeable. The only problem arises if you have to swim in them, or wash. Supposedly bacteria thrives under them and they can never be exposed to river or ocean water or tap water.I would prefer soft contacts to eyeglasses 100:1. Why would you wear eyeglasses during sporting or outdoor events when that problem is easily solved with contacts? I do not like the light gap, I like the eye cups resting on my face completely sealing that gap with no external light to distract me. Plus no issues with eye relief.And why would you need either glasses or contacts when you can just get a binocular with enough focus past infinity overdrive that accommodates whatever level of myopia you have and use it without any additional tricks, solving the problem.Provided you have no astigmatism?  Which I don't.</blockquote>
