Contact lenses^ are they good?

In what sense?
I couldn't function without mine! Better vision, no fogging in bad weather (like glasses).
Depending on the type of contact lense, they may be more "work" to take care of than glasses, but I won't go back to glasses full time unless I have to! As long as you wear them & take care of them as instructed, they shouldn't cause you any problems.

it depends on the person. for me they dry and irritate my eyes and are more of a hassle than glasses

That are things I'm afraid of...

Afraid? That's pretty strong...they won't hurt you if you find out you can't wear them. Get your eye doc to give you a throw away pair...try for a few days and see what you think...just don't wear them too long! Yours eyes have to adjust to them.

I wear disposables that I throw away once a month. I just use the storage solution at night, put them in every morning and toss them once a month. Love them. Love wearing sunglasses. You could try them to see how your eyes adjust. It may take a few days for you to get used to them.

They don't hurt, but I can’t wear them. I always remember about them and have a feeling that they are IN my eye. I'm trying to get used to them.
