That's one thing I can't do with glasses without an umbrella. But I got
tired of contact lenses. When I got glasses contacts only came in gas
permeable semi-hard lenses. In five sizes. They didn't fit properly
and it looked like I was crying all the time. The later soft lenses
were great but I still had to take them off to sleep. I never did trust
wearing them to bed and have to replace them every few days. It is
easier (and much less expensive) to wear glasses.
