I'm glad I finally read this whole thread, because I've been considering contacts for a while now. I've been wearing glasses for ages, and I've always wanted to try contacts but I have that silly fear of touching my eyeball. I'm not sure if I can get over it! I really really want to, though. I think I look much better without glasses, but I'm pretty nearsighted. I haven't been to the eye doctor in a while, so I'm not sure of my prescription and all that. I definitely need an exam anyway, whether I switch to contacts or not!
Now that I run a few times a week, I think contacts would be a lot easier. When I sweat, my glasses slip off, and they're just annoying. I don't want to have to wear them when I do the 10k on March 31st, but I don't know if I have time to get contacts and adjust to them by then. Do I? I know NOTHING about contact fittings, and the prices for contacts, and how all of it works.
