I've worn glasses since I was three (amblyopia and far-sighted) - went from "coke-bottle" lenses to present day feather-light plastic lenses. Still have permanent divots on the bridge of my nose.
Brief foray with contacts - way too much bother & mess - and I found out the hard way I was allergic to the preservatives in the wetting solutions. But contacts did give me one of my most memorable transcendental experiences. To put contacts in you lose your "blink" response when something approaches your eye. One day, walking home during snow flurries, I watched a single snowflake approach my eye and then melt on my lens. It was magical!
