When I first started wearing them it drove me nuts when they dried up. Your body will adjust to that, though. Same with the idea of touching your eyeball.

One piece of advice, though. If you're like me and you love spicy food, ALWAYS wash your hands before taking your contacts out. ;)

I agree with the adjustment period. When I first got my extended wear contacts, my eyes would feel really dry when I woke up - I'd just keep a bottle of visine by the bed and I was fine.

Now I don't even need it. The great thing about wearing contacts is I can cut onions like no one's business - and my eyes never water! :P
