Have you tried Silicone Hydrogel contacts? Totally different animal from traditional contacts. Some of them are FDA approved for 30 day wear.

Plus CIBA lost their patent in 2005 so they’re cheap too. Well, they didn’t exactly lose their patent but B&L can make them too so the competition has driven the prices down to the point that they’re about the same price.
