What are the pros and cons of wearing {hard,soft} contact lenses regularly
over a long period? I've worn hard lenses for several years and have never had
to change the prescription. However, when I lose a lens it takes a week to get
replaced and can cost up to $40. It seems very few contact lens labs deal with
hard lenses any more. I'm considering switching to soft lenses for the sake of
convenience, but I hesitate to fix something that "ain't broke". I've heard
conflicting stories about the effects of soft and hard lenses on the eyes when
worn regularly over the course of several years, and would appreciate some
definite information.
