Every tried 'daily' contacts? That is what I use...Love it... In the morning you put on some fresh contacts, and in the evening, you throw them away...
Always clean contacts, and no need to clean, store them etc...
Also when I goto the beach, and there is sand in them, I just throw them away...
As far as 'bad' experiences....I don't know how often in % it goes wrong... But keep in mind, that internet is mainly for the complainers...
I mean, I had a dislocated arm...I looked on the internet how long it would take...Well believe me, ONLY bad stories

Like, it still falls off so now and then, I had to get surgery, and can't move at all anymore, I still have pain 2 years later etc etc
But for me after 6-8 weeks I was 100% again....But you don't see me posting in all those health newsgroups/forums....
