hi there,
i am long sighted also. i used to wear contacts for about 4 years. i also have astigmatism. i wore gas permable contacts.
i found them great. i never had any problems wearing them. you can go to your optician, and get measured for them. they will tell you the best ones for your eyes. you will also need glasses, as there are times when you may feel you should change, and alter.
problems generally occur if you get grit in your eye. it can be quite painful. in this case, you should always carry your solution with you. this way, you are able to remove the lens, and clean it out. some people find that in smoky atmospheres, this irritates them. but it is trial and error if it will affect you.
on first getting them, you will have to build up to wearing them all day. first wear them for 1 hour a day, then next day,2, and so on.

i don't think there is any reason that wearing them should cause you any further sight problems, if this is your main concern. just be sure to ask your optician.

hope this helps.

Hi Chelle,


Your response is too helpful to me. Now I have idea to wear lens without any fear. I consult my optician they said no problem for you to wear the contact Lens but you have to wear 8-9 hours after that you have to wear spex like that optitions are saying. But I want to wear lens For 10 -12 hours shall I wear like that. It’s good for my eyes? give your suggessions plz

hi there,
you can wear your lenses all day if you want. i just meant get a pair of spex too. it is just handy if you have an irritation, to give your eyes a break from the lenses. but no. you can wear them 12 hours if you want. you will feel such a difference with them. i felt more confident, and just better within myself.

hope this helps. post me if not. xx xx

Hi Sofia,
What Chellie has told is correct.We can use contact lens for more than 12 hours.As i have used it i found comfortable for more than 12 hours.We won't get any problem.It is easy to use and maintain.

Hi ,


Your responses reduce my fear about wearing contact lens its helps me a lot. I have some idea about the contact lens but what I want to know is.
How to handle the contact lens? It’s so tiny
How I maintain the contact lens?
Are there any procedures to maintain contact lens?
