That sounds really scary. I have gradually given up on contacts and gone back to glasses over the years - partly because of comfort, and partly because of hearing nasty stories of infections and complications caused by keeping them in too long. If you wear contacts and follow all the rules exactly (like always taking them out before swimming/water sports, taking them out after X hours of wear each day, etc), I feel like they lose a lot of the convenience that made them so appealing in the first place. You really want to just stick them in your eyes first thing in the morning and then forget about your crappy eyesight until bedtime, but it never seems to quite work out like that. (At least not for me, I have friends who wear them day in, day out with no apparent issues).
